an extra- Meeting of the Creditors under the corn'
mission, Mr. kitchen's claim, which had beet'

on the former day, said he was ready to alio,'
two of the bills ; but the other two, which it
appeared came into the possession of Mr. Hit'

could be legally allowed.
This day, however, Mi. MoNTAGuE said that:
on consideration, he did not see that he could
oppose the claim of the whole amount of 4,000/•
inasmuch as it appeared that Mr. Hitchens had
originally advanced the money, and cerfai"lY
could not be put in a worse situation by being
the holder of the bills in question.
Mr. Kent's claim of 4,00 W. came, next under
examination. At the last meeting the subkc`,.
was partly considered, when Mr. Montague OP
posed the claim, on the ground that it was au
usurious transaction. Mr." Rose proceeded t°
examine (viva voce) Mr. Gibbs, touching. the
:said Claim. The effect of his examination
that Mr. Kent would have received a profit°
500/. had the bills been paid.
