BANKRUPTC Y.-(THIS DAY.)
IN RE DENNIS.
This bankru de' .ibe

pt was described as of Lowestoft, btu
a meeting was held to "impound" the proceedings in
ruptcy, under a petition presented a short time since.
Mr. Bagley, on a former occasion, showed cause eg ore
the choice of assignees on the ground that proceediegs
pending under a previous bankruptcy. The bankruptcy
formerly carried on business at Woolwich, and in. 1.411(!'
fiat was issued against him, but his examination v'ecor
journed sine die, consequently he could not obtain hie
ficate. The choice of assignees was adjourned, andA rllll
Lawrance now appeared to support the proceedings undo

petition, but an arrangement was come to that the bOP
should be administered under the first fiat, and the'
classes of creditors should equally participate. fe
His HoNoun thought that unless the case was q---

such an arrangement was very advisable.

The proceedings under the second bankruptcy Will,
