BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)

PROTECTION TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY.-IN RE IRVING.
This bankrupt is described as late of Prince Edwards'
Island, and to-day was appointed for him to pass his
last examination.

Mr. DUNCAN supported the application.
His HONOUR, however, said that he did not see how
he could allow the bankrupt to pass without the produc-
tion of books.

Mr. DUNCAN said that the bankrupt had come over to
this country to settle certain affairs, but was unable to
do so, and the present fiat was issued. A power of at-
torney, however, had been sent out for the sale of the
property, and to settle affairs in the Island, and the
books sent over. He therefore had to apply to his Ho-
nour for protection to enable the bankrupt to go over, as
the sale was of timber and land.

His HONOUR did not think he could grant protection
to enable the bankrupt to quit this country.
Mr. DUNCAN thought there could be no difficulty, as
the bankrupt would not be out of the realm or jurisdic-
tion of the Court.
His HONOUR, having consulted the other Commis-
sioner, said ho would grant the protection, on Mr. Ir-
ving making a declaratfon that his presence would be of
advantage to the creditors. He would grant protection
for three or four months.
Mr. DUNCAN pressed for a longer time, as •he said if
any delay occurred, and the protection ran out, no fur-
ther protection could be got from his Honour, and bank-
rupt might be arrested on the Island.
His HONOUR then granted the protection for six
months.
The balance-sheet showed Dr. to creditors, 2,4001.;
