The Commisioners met again on Saturday
under this Commission.

Mr. How Anti, the bankrupt, claimed to prove for 9331. as
executor under tlio will of J. Camper, deceased. It appeared
that Mr. Canter died in 11310, leaving property. to the use of
his widow-and daughter, and Mr. Howard his executor. Part
of the property wat vested in annuities, which were •receii'ed by
the bankrupts, and instead of being placed. out in the filnds,
for the benefit of. tire, widow and daughter, were appropriated
by bankrupts to other purposes connected with the transactions
of their office. - _

Mr. TRESLOVE objected to this_proCif. It appeared, by Mr.
Howard's statement, that the money was received by. Mr. Gibbs,
and by him disposed of, Mr. IloWard not knowing in what pre-
cise way. For any thing which appeared to the contrary, it
might have been applied by Gibbs to piirpOscs not connected
.
*An the partnership and he, perhapS, was indebted to the
estate in the amount.

Mr. HOWARD contended that money received by &partner
must be taken as constituting a demand against the partnership
account.

Mr. GIBBS was examined; and stated that the money re-
ceived by him was applied td the partnership accounts, and kr
their mutual benefit.
The COMMlSgiosrns held that Mr. Howard was entitled
to prove.
MR. CARROL'S CLAIM.

Mr. Carrol's solicitor, Mr. LAKE, said his client now at-
tended for the purpose of renewing his tender of proof on the
three bills of exchange produced by him at the last meeting ;
-but Mr. Montague, his counsel, not being present, he could not
proceed. He trusted, however, Mr. Carrol not coming forward
to-day, would not be considered as a waver, on his part, of his
right to prove.
Mr. STEVEMS; on the other side, objected to further delay.
These iepeated meetings were productive of very heavy ex-
pen ces.
Mr. LAKE said Mr. Carrol had attended five different times,
and did not complain either of expence or loss of time.
The Co MIIIISSIONERS said they would not reject a claim of
so much importance as Mr. Carrol's without full investigation.
Mr. CARROL reoTett;..4 Much that any further delay should
have taken place, ait Montague was not to be found. lie
had acted throughout under the advice of Mr.- Montague, and
could not now proceed without him.
The Co JIMISSIONERS.—CertainIy not ; we will appoint a
specific day for considering this important que4fon.
Mr. TRESLOVE—Have you got your book‘, Mr. Carrol ?
Mr. CARROL—I have not, Sir.
Mr. TRESLOVE—Then, if Mr. Montague had been here, it
would have been of no use. 1 told you so before.
Mr. CARROL—I thank you, Mr. Treslove, but I do not come
into my enemies quarters to ask counsel. I shall abide by the
advice of my own legal friend on that subject.
Some further proofs of individuals, unopposed, were received,
and the meetingadjourned.

IARINT.AL D ELIGHT.-T he Lincoln Mercury
contain the following article respecting the res-
toration of the little girl to her, parents, whose
loss was announced' in our Paper of Saturday
last. "To a feeling mind nothing can be so
gratifying as the having *saved, the life of a fel-
low creature ; thisi gratification the Right lion.
F. J. ROBINSON and his Lady now experience in
a high degree, as, but for their active and un-
wearied exertions, the daughter of a poor la-
bourer, named BURRELL, now restored to her
grateful parents, mast doubtless have perished of
cold and hunger. On'Friday the 28th ult., the
wife of BURRELL, with her daughter, a child
four or five years old, and sonic other children,
went to glean on Nocton lleath. After remain-
ing in the field some time, the children were sent
home; and they all leached their parents' dwel-
lings in safety, except this little girl, who turned
back to follow her mother and was lost. The father
and his friends searched the fields all night, but
without being able to trace the lost child : the
next morning the search vas renewed, when the
lion. Mr. lOBINSON, having heard of the dis-
tressing circumstance, most kindly and effec-
tually-exerted himself ; he personally assisted in
the search during the greater part of the day,
and sent to. Lincoln, and had bills distributed,
offering a reward for the restoration of the child.
Evening approaching again, without bringing
any tidings of the little innocent, he sent out
persons to renew the search, who at last found
the child under a hedge, three or four fields from
the place where it had left the other children.
The night which the little sufferer passed 'in the
field was very wet and cold, and, when found,
life was nearly extinct; the only sign of anima-
tion shewn, was produced by the shock of falling
to the ground (the child having been lifted on its
feet) when it instantly 'opened its eyes. Lady
SARAH ROBINSON procured all the means neces-
sary to aid restoration, which happily proved
successful; both Mr. ROBINSON and his lady
were present, and evinced the kindest sympathy
in the anguish of the distressed parents."
