The case of George Bird Grinneu & Co.
came up to-day before Judge Blstchford.
The firms counsel said they had no objec-
ton to be adjudicsted in voluntary bang
ruptcy. Evarts, representing some of the
creditors, charged COLLISION between the
petitioning creditor and the firm, and asked
to have the petition and the injunction dis
missed. Forty others, representing Incl
vidUal creditors, made the same motion.
After discussion, it was agreed to let the
case, so far as it related to this special firm,
go over till Saturday next.
The case of the general firm was then
begun. Evarts argued that the petitionipg
creditor has DO interest Of any consequence
in the matter; that continuance of the in
junction would d. injustice to the large
creditors who hold securities for the indebt-
edness of the firm to them, and which they
are unable TO dispose Of on account of the
Injunction, and that there was colusion b.
tween Griunel & Co. and Meyer. This
counsel for the firm admitted that Grinnell
& Co. had given Meyers notice of their
condition. Decision reserved.
