The question of discharge when disputed is directed by
the new Act to be heard before a Commissioner, but as Mr.
Commissioner Fonblanque, to whom the case was allotted,
was anal le, through illness, to attend, Mr. Lawrence pro-
posed that the case should be referred to Mr. Commissioner
Pane.

Mr. Sargood—l object. Mr. Commissioner Fane has no
jurisdici ion.

IMr. Lowrance—Then, there it ends.
Mr. Ilszlift decided that it was within his jurisdiction to
hear the application for passing the last examination, and
a long discussion arose, :resulting in no beneficial effect,
for the question appeared to arise on the amount of two
debts, but even after the fullest inquiry, it would onlylead
to the expunging oz reducing the proof, as the estate will
not yield a dividend to the creditors.
Mr. Lowrance submitted that it would bo a most unfair
thing to prevent the bankrupt passing, merely because a
creditor refused to submit to the infliction of an investiga-
tion of his books for 13 years, and especially when the
accounts were closed in 1859 the bankrupt and the creditor
having gone through the accounts, and the bankrupt had
certified them on oath, it would be monstrous to ask a man
to submit to such a requisition.
Mr. Bayley for the assignee, considered the opposition
most vexatious, there not being the slightest pretence for it,
and an adjournment for the purpose would entail enormous
trouble and expense, and the costs to be borne by the per-
son applying.
