Slli M. BLOXAM AND, ,DANKtirrci..—The
second meeting of the creditors, under this Corn-
mission, was held at Guildhall on. Sattirdly. A,
this meeting the Assignees were chosen, and debts
to a very considerable,aMount were proved.
Several debts were rejected on the ground that
the bilis on which the creditors .ciattned, not only a
'discount- of five per cent. had.been charged by the
persons discounting. them, but also a commission of
one-to one fourth per cent. Where, however, the
persons so discounting the bills were bilW)roke-rs,
and of course entitled to charge the commission, as
between the bankrupt and the person discounting;
the claim was sustained, on . this ground, that the
bill-broker buying in consequence of certain invest-
ments made in his hands by a variety of persons
who employed him, might legally make purchases.
it his own namo, to be .afterwards. transferred to
such of his employers as tniglit chtase to accept
of them, without having had any pretions special
instrudions as to the purchase of such bills.
Mr. TILSON, Solicitor to, the commission, inform-.
ed the Creditors, that in, consequence of what had
fallen.from some Gentleman ,at he last meeting, he
bad directed a minute and .carerti; inquiry to be made
into the actual state of the Bankrupt's affairs. The
persons employed in this investigation, namely, the
Accountant, under the Commission, and Mr. Vyle
the principal Clerk to the Bankrupt, had by unre-
mi!ted exertion and industry been able to form an
opinion on this. point, and he had their authority to
state to the Creditors,
.that the funds of the Bank-
rupts 'would prodUce tos. at least, on. the whole
debts due. There was, at the same time, reason
to hope that things would ultimately turn out infi-
nitely better. . • •
- The persons whom we.understood to have I:xten
ele:ted Assignees, were •Messrs. Charles Miller, of
King's-street; .Cheapsicle ; Aleiander Ro,)inson, of
Pedlar's Acre, I.„l•robeth ; and Thomas Farnetinribe,
of Virgin's Wharf, Southwark. .
The third Meeting, when the 'Bankrupts are to
surrender under the Commission, will be on Satur-
day, the 28 th instant.
