TIE ESTATE OF JACOB BARKER.-The assignee
in bankruptcy has made report to Register John
7. Deane, stating that at the present time $l3, 900
il cash remains in his hands as the net amount
thus far realized from the estate of Jacob Barker.
A meeting of the creditors has been held during
the last two days at the Office Of Mr.. Deane, for
the purpose of deciding whether this amount shall
at once be divided among them as first dividend,
or shall remain in the hands of the assignee for a
final settlement. The law requires that in order
to effect such distribution the consent of those
representing at least onehaf the amounts credited
be obtained. This one-half amounts in the Barker
case TO $50 600, whereas up to yesterday noon
the consent of creditors representing only about
$40 600 had been obtained. IL is probable, there.
fore, that the sl3 900 thus far realized will remain
over in the assignee's hands until the balance of
the property shall have been disposed of. The
present estimate is that creditors will ultimately
recover from thirtySye to forty cents on the dol
lar.
