MESSRS. lIURSTS' ,AND ROBINSON'S COMMISSION.

On Saturday the first Meeting of the bankrupts, Thom.
Hurst, John Hurst, and Joseph Ogle Robinson, took place before
the Commissioners, Messrs. Montague, Meggison, Ellison, se. at
the Court, Baainghall-street. The business of the day was chiefly
confined to receiving proofs of debts, but we believe the extent of
the proofs aid not exceed 50,0001., though the liabilities of the
leveret estates amount to. 580,0001. The following debts were
Pr("red :—Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., of Hill-street, Berkeley-
'
.gnarl') 20,525/., on a bond, and interest ; Messrs. T. and J.
Newcombe,
1,165/. ; Mr. 'Clay, West Smithfield, 1,700/. ; Mr.
Banker.
Banker, Fleet-street, a bill, 1,500/. ; Mr. Whitmore,
41anker, Lombard-street, 1,000/. ; Messrs. Kay, Brothers, and
B.3tt, 2330/. ; Mr. Ilitehens, Threadneedle-street, 2,0101. ; Mr.
&enders. bookseller, 3,000/, and interest on a bond.
Mr. Hitchens asked the Solicitor under the Commission seve-
ral questions relative to the admission of Mr. Thomas Hurst into
the firm (when he seceded from Longman and Co.'s) in January
hue. In the first place, he wished to know if there was a deed of
Putiterihip?—The Solicitor replied, that there was.
Mr. Ilitchens asked to know if Mr. Thomas Hurst, on joining
he firm, became entitled, by the deed of partnership, to a share
r" the stock ?.....The Solicitor said, 'that by the terms of the deed,
certainly became entitled to his share in the stock in trade.
Mr. Ritehens said, the reason he asked was, because that if he
"ecame entitled ton share in the stock, he had also become liable
the debts of the concern..—The Solicitor said, that Mr.
l'tchens roes' mistaken ; he was not liable to the debts of the
Partnership' incurred prior to January. Several creditors ex-
pressed surprise at this statement. The proofs being admitted,and
he tender of the bankrupts taken, Mr. Montague signed their
)rotection, and the Court adjourned.

VICE CHANCERY NEW COURT.
Since the Court sat on Saturday, a large curtain, made of fine
awn drab cloth, has been put up at the bottom of this Court,
MI it were partitioning it off from the passage that runs parallel with
Awe hall. - When his Honour took his chair, he observed that
we end of the curtain was tucked up, like the sail of a ship
when reefed,. which he disapproved of, and ordered his attendants
'0 send ;..nimtslitttely to the person who had put it up, to attend to
olfar/ it, In a few minutes afterwards a person arrived, who
lid unreel the curtain. It is made very full, and in cold wee.
ter will
,undonbtedly make the Court a great deal more warm and
Intig, than it was without it ; but there is inconvenience attend in
'ten this improvement, inasmuch as that every person going into
Court has to go across the whole of the curtain, groping, as they
Patiii along, for en opening, through which they may enter. It
'etrns also to have the effect of rather increasing the density of
till corner of knowledge.'
The Court went on the cause Paper.
