SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)

There was only one case tried during the morning,
and that was not of the slightest:interest. A case, " Levi v
Swallow," for false imprisonment, was proceeding, and
likely to occupy several hours.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULDURN.)
IN RE HAMMOND.

In this case the bankrupt, who was described as an
architect in Threadneedle-street, came up and passed his
last examination. In the course of the meeting a proof
was tendered on a bill of exchange of which the bank-
rupt was the drawer, but which had been dishonoured.
The question was, whether the holder was bound to give
notice of dishonour to the assignees.
His HONOUR said, that as a fiat in bankruptcy might
be sued out on a bill even before it was due, as it was
proof of a debt he could not see any reason why notice
should be given to the assignees if it did not come due
till afterwards. In this case, however, notice had been
given to the bankrupt, and that was clearly sufficient—
the proof was therefore admitted.
