The following order, sustaining the opinion
of Registrar Carpenter, was made by his Honor
Judge Bryan:
ruptcy-This being the day appointed by the
court for the first meeting OF creditors, sat at
the time and place above mentioned, among
other things for choice Of assignee. The only
claim proved was that of Hudson Townsend,
attorneys at law, for about $175, subject 70
deduction, as stated in the deposition, OF an
unknown sum, supposed to be SIS or sly.
These creditors, by their attorney in fact, j.:
Barrett Cohen, Esq, voted for D. D. Mccall, OF
Bennettsville, s. c., as assignee OF said estate.
C. P. Townsend, ESQ.,, attorney for the petl-
toner, objected to the appointment on tho
ground that Mr.. McRae had been recommended
By all the Bar, including Hudson d Townsend
themselves; had given up other business and de-
voted himself to this business; that he has been
elected and appointed in all the cases In the
district; and that he is man of high character,
honest and capable, and that to make this case
an exception would be disparaging to him, and
that the amount due to Hudson q townsend is
much less than is stated by them, and that
their claim is insignificant beside the whole
amount of tho debts-about $4,000; that the
creditors holding securities represent about
s25OO. Considering these objections, and that
the interest, although that Of the bankrupt is
an opposing one, I do hereby certify the facts
to the court for its action IN the premises, SIM
ply adding that Mr.. McRae is an efficient as,
signee, and that would appoint him II had
the power. .o.o
Witness my hand, this LIST day Of April, 1868.
r. B. CARPENTER,
Registrar in Bankruptcy.
Duncan D. Mccall having been chosen as
signee by the greater part in value and number
OF the creditors who have proved their debts,
and there being no imputation either upon his
character or competency, the judge does not
feel himself competent to interfere, and does
not interfere. He is assigned by virtue OF the
law. u6O. .. Dill taH,,
