BANKRUPTCY COUR l'.-(THIS DAY.)

As soon as their Honours came into Court this morning, the
Registrar read aloud the following new orders, which had been
drawn up by the Judges:---
" It is ordered that in all matters referred by this Court to
any Judge or Commissioner of the Court of Bankruptcy, such
Judge or Commissioner may, in his report, state such special
circumstances as he shall think fit, without being specially di.
rected so to do.

" And it is further ordered, that any one of the Judges of
the Court of Bankruptcy may as often as it shall appear to him
expedient by order, under his hand, direct any money which
may have been paid into the Bank of England by any official
assignee to the credit of any bankrupt's estate, to be invested in
the purchase of Exchequer Bills; and may, in like manner
direct the sale of such Exchequer Bills, and also the sale and
transfer of any Stock in the Public Funds, or in any public
Company, or of any Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, or other
public securities, which shall have been transferred, delivered,
or paid by any official assignee into the Bank of England, to the
credit of such estate, and may direct the proceeds thereof
to be laid out in the purchase of Exchequer Bills, or to
be carried to the credit of the Accountant-General of the
High Court of Chancery, and of such bankrupt's estate. And
the Accountant. General of the High Court of Chancery shall
and may pursuant to such order make such purchase, sale, and
transfer without any further order or direction from this Court.
And the expenses thereof may be charged to the account of the
estate, for the beuefit of which the same shall have respec.
tively made.

" And it is further ordered, that all allowances of money
which are by law payable out of any bankrupt's estate for al-
lowance to the bankrnpt, or for remuneration to the official
assignee, or for the discharge of the solicitor's bill, or of any
other lawful expences incurred or payable by the assignees
shall and may when duly settled and allowed be paid out of the
monies and securities so delivered and paid into the Ban!: of
England as aforesaid, at such times and in such manner as any
one of the Judges of this Court shall by order under his hand
direct, provided that such order specify the amount of such pay_
ment, the purpose to which it is to he applied, and the person to
whom or to whose order the same is to be made.

" And the Accountant-general of the High Court of Chan-
cery shall, and may, pursuant to such order, pay the sum of
money specified therein out of such bankrupt's e-tate
without any further evidence of the same being due and pay-
able, and without any further order or direction from this Court.
'! And it it further ordered that a duplicate of such orders
shall be respectively filed with the proceedings in the Court of
Bankruptcy." (Signed by the four Judges.:.

The CHIEF JUSTICE observed that another order was in
preparation relative to the payment of dividends, which would
be promulgated to-morrow.
Several petitions which stood on the list were then called on
but the greater portion of them were postponed upon the ap_
plication of Counsel.
EXPARTE PALMER IN THE MATTER OF PALMER.
Mr. MONTAGUE applied to have this case postponed, as
he had not yet been able to read the affidavits which had been
only filed on Saturday by Mr. Swanston's client.

Mr. Justice PELL strongly condemned the system of cross-
fire by affidavits, by which great expence and delay were in-
curred. In this case, a petition to which affidavits were appended,
had been filed by Mr. Swanston's client, and then affidavits in
reply were filed by Mr. Montagu's client ; then Mr. Swanston's
client replied by affidavits, which Mr. Montagu now wished for
tune to investigate, and, probably, wlth the view of answering
them by still more affidavits. The expence and delay caused
by this cross-firing were incalculable, and, therefore, he (Mr.
Justice Pell) hoped the Court would very soon put into exe-
cution the discretionary power they possessed of examining
persons viva voce.

The rest of the Court concurred in the view taken by Mr.
Justice Pell, and after some turther consultation it was agreed
that Mr. Montague should consider whether he would take an
adjournment for a week, or apply for a viva vac,: examination.
IN THE MATTER OF WILSON, A BANKRUPT.

Mr. SWANSTON moved the Court for a renewed com-
mission in This case. In April, in the year 1816, a commis-
sion was issued against Richard Wilson, and assignees
were appointed ; two of the Commissioners were since de*l„
and the third had refused to act. The consequence was that
that the commission had not been worked, although there were
assets to be administered. The application was made on the
part of a creditor, Mr. Thomas Ray, who was a creditor to the
amount of 3601., for which he had proved under the corn-
mission. It was therefore desirable that a new commis ion
should be issued.

CHIEF JUSTICE—Have you served the assignees with a
notice ? Mr. Swanston— We have not.

The Court directed the assignees to be served, and the pro.
ceedings in the former commission to be brought into this
Court ; after which the application could be renewed.

A singular rubbery Ita, bcen committed at
Winele, near Macclesfield. After several schemes and con.
trivances to facilitate their object, two daughters of a desperate
character, named Sedgwick, dressed themselves in men's
clothes, and having entered the cottage of an old woman named
Sutton, they grossly ill.used her, and stopped her mouth with a
tar plaster. The old woman was known to have a large sum
of money concealed in her house, but this principal object of
search escaped the robbers, who were apprehended, and coin.
mitted to Chester Castle.

A very numerous meeting was held at Dews-
bury (Yorkshire) on Monday the 12th inst. upon Mr. Stanley's
Bill, for Educating the Poor of Ireland. The audience were
admitted principally by tickets from the Clergy, who addressed
the meeting at great length, and with considerable warmth.
Notwithstanding every effort to secure a resolution adverse to
the Bill, the clerical party was outvoted in the proportion of
nearly fifty to one. A meeting was held at Livereedgc on
Thursday, at which resolutions in favour of the Bill were fop.
ported by several clergymen, and were carried.

ture took place at one of the Castlecomer collieries on Tuesday
last. As a Mr. Potts was walking with another man, within
a few yards of a number of labourers, over whom he acted as
overseer, three well-dressed men went up, desired the person
with Mr. Potts to walk aside, and then deliberately tired the
contents of a blunderbuss through the head attic latter. They
were then decamping, when, seeing their victim snake sonic
convulsive movement of his limbs, they returned, and with a
pistol shot through his body, put a period to his suffering--at the
same time remarking that he should tell no tales, as Mr,
Gregory, of the Queens County, did. This bloody transaction
took place within view of a military station, from which some
soldiers heard the shots, and saw the murderers deliberately
retreating across the country. Several persons were arrested,
