by a S..lieitnt of long practice on the Bankrupt laws,

we think brats very closely and very properly on the

With respect to the conduct of the Commis-

of the Poblle, to appoint mottoes meetings for lb*

little er none, for after all they meet and gemerally
ask the Assignees if they are satisfied with the sc.
casino ? and if they eapress their satisfaction the
Itasikespt is permitted to pass; if cherwise, the
Counsel, the Accountants, the Bankrupt, and the

Meg could be done to command the attention of the
Colonissioners to their duty, and partteu!srly to such
es important eebject as the last examination of the
Bankrept, It would be a great object. This is what
irreally wanted. It is not that we would attempt to
accuse them of any wilful, improper condoct, we cone

ing, would we accuse them of a want of knowledge •

',iterative way iu which the business is 1;14 through ---.
9. m meaning is, that the duty they ha to perform is
not properly impressed upon their minds, or, in other
terms, they carotid.? that they bare nothing else to
do hit to attend, sign their noises, INISP their fees,
and Wag business de itself. We would propose,
therefore, as the best remedy for the evil, that at the
three meal meetings, appointed by law, each Com.
missioner should be paid es follows :—At the first
meeting, li. ; at the second meeting, 21.; and, at
the third meeting, 31. The r for Homing these
sums is, that at the first meeting tittle or no busi-
ness is done; at tho wood there is the choice of
Assignees; and at lb. third a greater weight of duty
is placed upon the Commissioners. That they should
receive no fees at any adjnorned meeting, purl that
I they should sot be 'offered to have more ti•aos two
or three meetings at the roost, at the same hour ; and
on the last eaandeation of a lieolcropr, Mot avail t:e

same three Commissioners should centimes. to sit.--
That the Beoltrept sh • .Id, of course, be compelled
to attend every eosin( ; and that each list shonld
llama separate room. No. I, 2,3, 4, &e., according
to lbe number of the list. This .piton would be
an infinite eagle, to theestete, and whets acted upon,
would, we cromeive, be highly satisfactory to the
Creditor ; and there appears to us on good remelt
why lbe Bankrupt should not, es heretofore, pas his
stsamination at the three usual meetings "'pointed by
**for that purpose."
