LAW INTELLIGENCE.=(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
lIX PARTE SMITH AND SMITH.-A QUESTION TO BE

NOTICED IN THE NEW BANKRUPTCY BILL.

In this case Mr. Lawrance made an allowance for costs
under peculiar circumstances. He said that, in the first
instance, a petition in bankruptcy had been presented, but
it was afterwards thought that it would be better to effect
a wind up of the affairs under the Arrangement Act ; that,
however, failed, and a second tetition was presented under
the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act, and the whole of the
estate was now in the hands of the official assignee, but the
costs of the previous proceedings remained unpaid. He then
asked for the costs of the et igintl petition and those under
the. Arrangement Act, which htd been assented to by the
court.

His Honour—What do the osts amount to ?
Mr. Lowrance—MG, but outof that there were two £lO
stamps.

His Honour—This is a very circuitous mode of settling
affairs, but if the assignees uncbr the actual bankruptcy do
nDt oppose ?

Mr. Lawrance said he would take the order, providing—
he did not expect any oppositioa—there were ample funds
in hand, and his clients had only been anxious to protect
the general interest of the creditors.

His Honour said that the official assignees had an oppor-
tunity of knowing the state of tie affairs, and if the funds
were in hand, and the assignee did not object he would
not, but the costs must be taxed.
Mr. Lawrance —Of course—we submit it for taxation.

by a benevolent gentleman, and for whom he had obtained
a situation, he lodging with him. Prisoner having ab-
sented himself, one of "his workmen, named Smith, suc-
ceeded in tracing him on the Brentford-road, by whom he
was given into the custody of Wood, T 138, who found on

FOREIGN ENLISTMENT IN IRELAND.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.
Sir Henry Brownrigg, inspector general of con-
stabulary, has issued a proclamation setting forth
the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, cau-
tioning persons against enlisting or inducing per-
sons to enlist in the service of foreign powers; such
offences being deemed misdemeanours and punish-
able by fine and imprisonment. Masters of vessels
are equally liable. A similar proclamation to the
metropolitan police has emanated from the comis-
sioner.

cent. of their number in a three months' passage
and five years' residence, and the average annual
rate of mortality among a similar class in Calcutta
is described as 4.4 per cent., which would indicate
a loss of 23.1 per cent. in the same period if they
had stayed at home. The loss on the passage
during the great Irish exodus to the States is
stated to have been 17.5 per cent.
