CEESSWELL joined the Attorney-General in so
lic;ting an eariy day to he named for hearing the appeal.
Lord BROUGHAM—Are all the parties interested in
the cause anxious that it should be heard here, before
the issue 'which is set down for trial at the next Glou-
cester Assizes has been decided ?

Mr. CRESSWELL—They arc. The result of the issue
at Gloucester has no bearing upon the appeal before
your lordships.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I think the issue is
c,f very lit le consequence, and will have no effect on
guiding your Lordshi?s' decision on the appeal. The
(I,:ciLion in one case can by no means affect the other.
Lord BROUGHAM—WC will cer.sider the application,
Mr. Attorncy-(genera,.
Mr. Justice BosissQuET—l do not see ho.v we can
Appoint a tune for hearing the appeal. Toe Circuits
Are about to comm. nce, and how could an attendance
he insured on consecutive days ?

Lord BROUGHAM—No, it is impos.•ible to appoint x
day now. At any rate, we cannot say am-thing about
it until we see what turn the tri.ll of Lord Cardigan in
the House. of Lords next weck wi!l take.

The ATTORNEY-GENEam. apin pressed for an

Lot:a Baouomixt —We cannot sry anything about it

'HT OF BANKRUPTCY, Fit. 10.

KEASLEIy BROTHERS., BANKRUPTCY. -TUE GREi.T FAILURE

IN THE TANNING TRADE.

This was the day named for the choice of assignees and
the proof of debts against. the CFUVC of these bankrupts,
whose failure, announco the week before last, occasioned
among the Catholic ,c,'.)ltmunity nearly as much agonish-
meat as the stoppage of WI ight's banking concern, inas-
much as they were supposed to be inexhaus'ibly wealthy,
whilst their dealings in the tanning trade were of such an
extensive nature as to place them at its head. The Cohrt
•vas very crowded, and the majority of proofs tendered
sere upon bids of exchange. The elder partner is under-
Aped to have projected and 'cstablithed the Tablet news
paper, and it was also mentioned among the creditors that
this day twelvn!month the bankrupts roasted a bullock at
Bermondsey (where they carried on business) in honour of
her Majesty's nuptials,
Mr. Tee,' appeared as counsil for the petitioning cre-
ditor, and Mr. Lane as solicitcr to the fiat.

Txo proofs were admitted on cheeks given by the bank-
rnpti for goods supplied, which ohecks were not tendered
to their bankers in time for ,if,•ets.

Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said they might be al.
lowed subject to further consideration. A c Ise on the
point is now under the consideration of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, and until that had brcn decided the proofs
could not. absolutely be
Mr. Wright, as the executor of the late Mr. Warren,
sought to prove for the sum of 4.0201. upon several bills
of exchange which, it appeared, the deceased had dis-
,ounted for Keasley, Brothers. No notice of dishonour
had been given, as they were, at the request of the drawers
held over. Keasley, Brothers, were the drawers,
and Mr. William Keasley, of Park.square, the acceptor,
and as they were acknowledged to be accommodation bills
as between the drawers and the acceptor, the object of
novice of dishonour was done away with.
Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said, it must stand over
for the investigation of the assignees.
Mr. Teed then called the attention of the Court to the
proof of Mr. Robert Warren, which was for the sum of
nearly 20,000/ upon bills of exchange which he had dis-
counted for the bankrupts. In the proof, doubtless, would
be brought forward the subject of some property, which the
claimant said belonged to him, although it remained in the
possession of the bankrupts up to the time of the fiat, and
thence roust pass to their assignees. His proof of this was
the " sold note" of the property, some cork, timber, &c ,
which he held, but the bankrupts had dealt with it as their
own, for they had s'nee actually sold some part of it.

Mr. Warren—Tnen they have committed a depredation
upon my property.
Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—The assignees, I sup.
p will contend that it was in the order and disposition
,
of the bankrupts, and therefore belongs to the estate.
Mr. Teed.—But to this proof, which was an normmis
amount, the strong object W 33 the discounting cf the bills,
which averaged the rate of 15 and 21 per cent. Now,
there were 60 of these bills, and what with the extent of
the claims, and the multiplicity of the trarsactionF, he
thought the Court would aff,)rd time for its investigatior,
and therefore, for the present, postpone its admission.
After considerable discuss,on the proof at length was
ad fitted for 19,6001 , to be increased, it was understood,
to the extent of the value of the property, if the assigi ees
considered it the creditors', and decreased should le re.
ce:ve it.

After the other minor questions were disposed of, Mr.
William Boutchcr, of the New Leather Warehouse, Ber-
mondsey, in the county of Surrey, leather factor, and Mr.
Wi!liam Mortimorc, of St. Mary-Axe, Leadenhall-street,
leather fictor, were choson the assignees.
The total proofs admitted to-day were about 57,0001.
The liatilities and debts arc variously estimated at from
100,000/. to 200,0001.
The proceedings occupied the Court till a late hour.
