'l3y twelve monthly instalments, four of which were
'still due.

'default, the jury gave a verdict for 1421. 10s.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOl:ri.nuitx.)
IN RE SPENCER PARKER.
IMPORTANT QUESTION As TO COUNTY COURT
VosTS.—The agents to the solicitor to the assignees ap-
plied in this case for the allowance of (amongst other
bills) one for the recovery of debts, the suits having been
brought in the County Court of Dorking. The Taxing-
master considered the costs too heavy.
His HONOUR ascertained that one of the debts had
not been recovered, and in the other only 31. Its. Bd.,
and the costs charged amounted to 81. 13s. 6d. His
Honour considered that persons acting in a representa-
tive character ought to exercise even greater caution and
judgment than on their own accounts. He could not
• allow such charges.
The ATTORNEY said that the County Courts gave a
long day for payment, and no doubt that one debt for
20/. would ultimately be recovered, but he was a cora-
tnercial traveller at present out of employ.
His HONOUR said he would not make any order at
Present, but must have a fuller explanation.
