possible to adjust the claims of the various creditors
of the concern, having determined to make applica-

of interest on debentures, £6,000 ; Lloyd's bonds,
exclusive of interest, £735,243 ; preference shares,
£158,780 ; ordinary shares, £28,000 ; outstanding
accounts, about £B,OOO ; total, £1,001,878. The

arrange the various claims upon the basis of the ex-

On the 10th of May last, plaintiff, a machine-fitter in .t'o

fendant struck one of the plaintiff's party, named Freeston,
and immediately afterwards seized plaintiff by the waist and
bit him through the cheek. At the same time he twisted
his leg round plaintiff Bright leg, fracturing it. Plaintiff fell I
upon the floor and the defendant on the top of him. When
told what he had done, defendant said he was sorry; and
plaintiff told him it was fine talking of being sorry, what
was his wife and family to do ? Plaintiff was removed by
his companions to the General Hospital, where he remained
until June 9, and continued an out-patient until about a
month ago. After leaving the hospital he saw defendant,
but could make nothing out of him, as he was walking about
with a drawn sword over his shoulder. In answer to his
Honour, it was stated that defendant had been living with-
out work for years, but it was not known what property he
had, if any. Judgment was given for the amount claimed,
with costs of plaintiff's witnesses.
