BANKRUPTCY COURT, OCT. 8.

(Before Mr. Cotrlmit•sioner ME RIVA LE.)

A meeting of the creditors of Mr. Thomas I.
Dimsdale, cornfactor, was held to-day, for the further
proof of debts and the final examination of the bank-
rupt. The Court-room was very much crowded
by persons in the corn trade, as well as creditors, to
hear the proceedings.
An application was made to the Commissioner
for the restoration of a bill of exchange, drawn upon
Sir Thomas Champneys for 5001., which had been
lodged as a collateral security for bills held to the
same amount by the client of the applicant on the
bankrupt, but which had been disbursed.
Mr. M‘Leod, the solicitor to the estate, said two
sets of bills had been given for the same debt, and
the question was whether the official assignee should
give up that or Sir Thomas Champneys.
The Solicitor for the creditors said he could not
consent to the bill being given up unless it was dis-
tinctly understood that it should not be hereafter a
burden to the estate.

Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE said be could make
no order on the subject. The Court of Review
might be applied to on the subject.
The solicitor of the holder of the first set of bills
complained that, if the bill was not given up, there
could be no remedy against the party on whom it
was drawn.

The COMMISSIONER intimated, that if an arrange-
ment could be come to upon the subject, and an
offer made to Mr. Belcher, the official assignee, he
would advise him how to act.

This suggestion was adopted.
The proof of debts then proceeded, but the amount
proved during the day was not considerable. The
statement made by the bankrupt as to the accounts
is as follows :—The debts amount to 30,000/. ; to
advances on goods 29,0001.; amount of goods on
bond (consisting of corn, &c.), 38,000/. or 39,000/.
The total amount of debts is stated officially at
60,0004, and the liabilities to 12,0001., while the
total available assets are not more than 2,000/.

The COMMISSIONER asked the assignees if they
were satisfied with the accounts handed in by the
bankrupt ?
The assignees replied that they were quite satis-
fied with the accounts; there was nothing irregular,
though, as the Court would see, the balance showed
a very heavy loss. They could only deplore that
such was the case ; but they felt bound to say there
was nothing that appeared unfair in the accounts.
The bankrupt then passed his final examination,
and the further proceedings were adjourned.

OLD COMMISSIONS.

The Commissioners are following up the plan
adopted some time since in calling for the proceed-
ings in old commissions which have not been finally
wound up, and in many instances with the most
beneficial results to the creditors. This day Mr.
Town appeared, pursuant to a summons, to deliver
in the proceedings of an old commission, issued
against a Mr. Bunn, and he stated in reply to ques-
tions from Mr. Commissioner Merivale, that the
proceedings had been lost. The commission was a
very old one, but there were moneys now in hand,
and recently it had been discovered that the bsnk-
rupt had become entitled to freehold property in the
West Indies. A power of attorney had been sent
out to render the property available, and the other
necessary steps for the benefit of the creditors
would be adopted.
The Commissioner then appointed Mr. Kitchener,
the official assignee, to inspect the accounts, &c., for
the benefit of the creditors.
