-APPLICATION FOR AN INSPECTOR.

Mr. Bagley moved in this case for the appointment
of an inspector of the separate estate of Francis Smith.
The motion was on the affidavit of Mr. Roberts, a credi-
tor to the amount of about 8001., and other creditors to
a larger extent.
Mr. Dorier appeared to oppose the application.
Mr. Bagley in support of the application said the
separate creditors had peculiar interests, which did not
affect the assignees of the joint estate, which would not
by any possibility pay 204 in the pound, and therefore
the separate creditors could not: receive anything from
it.

Mr. Dorier agreed that there was 110 reason to sup-
pose that the assignees would not do their duty, and
unless something to that effect was shown they ought
not to be interfered with.

His Honour said that he did not for a single moment
impute any,intention of the assignees not to do their duty
to all classes of the creditors, but at the same time he did
not see why the separate creditors should not have the
power of appointing an agent to watch their interests
at their own expense, and he therefore made an order
that an inspector should be appointed, and that be
should be at liberty to inspect the books ; the costs to
be borne by the joint and separate estates.

Ascci,
Our Paris contemporary, the Prase, in a memoir of
the late General Anson, states, with all gravity, that in
" August, 1833, he became the representative of the
division of Chiltern (the fact being, that he then left
Parliament by accepting the Chiltern Hundreds) and
was at the same time appointed to a high command in
the East Indies."
