BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

This being the last day of Term the Court was more than
usually crowded with solicitors, waiting to be sworn in, some of
whom began to be so impatient, in consequence of their Honours
not taking their seats much before eleven o'clock, as to request
of Mr. Barber, the Deputy Registrar, for the convenience of the
profession, to inform them at what hour the Court professed to
sit. On being informed ten o'clock, many present stated it was
extremely inconvenient for them, especially on the last day of
Term, to be kept waiting as they had been to-day.
COLES, IN RE RUCKER•

Mr. TURNER stated that this was the petition of William
Coles, the younger, praying that the assignees under the corn-
Lroission against the Messrs. Rucker might be directed to insti-
tute Proceeding to recover the sums due on the mortgage pro-
perty. On the 14th of July, 181 g, an agreement was entered
into by which several parties mortgaged to Messrs. Ruckers
two plantations in the Island of Tobago, for the sum of 12,0001.,
the petitioner had accepted two drafts for the Messrs. Rucker,
who had since become bankrupts, and at the present moment
there was upwards of 4,6071. remaining due on the mortgage,
which the party for whom the petitioners accepted the
bills understood was to be made available. The Learned
Counsel understood that the assignees contended that the
mortgage could not be considered as in their order and
disposition ; but the cases of Jones and Gibbon, and Matthews
and Walwyn, had decided otherwise.

Mr. Justice ROSE thought it was not necessary for the
Learned Counsel to labour that point, and wished to hear the
other side.

Mr. WIGR AM, who appeared on behalf of the assignees,
stated that his clients, as trustees for others, had thought it their
duty to bring the matter before the Court; the only question for
whose consideration was whether the instrument had been made
in this country or in Tobago; if in the latter place, the necessary
forms had not been gone through, and therefore the assignees
had no interest. The Court made the order, that the petitioners
should be at liberty to use the name of the assignees, for the
purpose of getting in the sums due on the mortgage, the peti-
tioner indemnifying them.
JENKINS, IN RE NOAKES.

Mr. ANDERDON, in applying for leave to put this case in
their Honours' paper for hearing, observed that he did not
know how far he was following the right course in doing so,
after the decision expressed by their Honours on Saturday. The
present case was an appeal from the decision of the Vice.
Chancellor, and had been put in the Lord Chancellor's paper
for that purpose.

The CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that the difficulty might
be removed by having all directions for the proper attendance
of parties embodied in the order for setting down the case in
that Court.

Mr. ANDERSON acquiesced in the suggestion of the Court,
and there the matter rested.
