IN RR ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

A private meeting was advertised for this morning at
11, out as nothing transpired it was supposed that the
meeting had gone off.

IN RE COLLINS.
This bankrupt was described as a jeweller, and came
up upon his adjourned certificate meeting. Upon the
evidence of the former proceedings being read over the
hankrupt objected to some portions, but was reminded
hat he had signed the evidence himself, aiid it was now
too la. eto make any objtctions. It was insisted, upon
the part of the opptniti,in creditors, that the bankrupt
was not entitled to any certificate, having run headlessly
tow debt upon the very eve of his bankruptcy, and he
LaVing prevailed upon his landlord to levy a friendly
distraint. Upon the part of the--bankrupt, it was urged
that where the assets were only sufficient to cover the
expenses of the court, it was usual to throw a great many
hard words at the unfortunate petitioner.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.
