the fractional currency redeemed in
silver since April last, that about 80
per cent. or sl5, 900, 900 of that currency

EXPENSES IN BANKR UP7CY.
TIMELY VIEWS OF A JUDGE.


Judge Lowell, of the United States
District Court, at Boston, has rendered
decision in the case Re j. NJ, SAWYER, in
which he says:
The account rendered in this case
brings to view one of the weak points of
this as of all other bankrupt laws, the
temptation which assignees are under to
exhaust the assets in unwarrantable
charges. wish it to be distinctly under.
stood that it is the duty of the Register to
examine and regulate the charges, ,wheth-
er any creditor take the trouble to object
to the account or not, and to see thatwhen
the account is correct dividend is paid.
The assignees in this case have received
about $4,000 aud the charges for legal
services are about $1,000, and for the as
signees themselves, $1,000. These are
all disallcwed. For their services the
assignees may have the commissions es-
tabllshed by the rule of the Supreme
Court. Where there are debts due work.
men, which are privileged, the assignees
has no moral right to waste their money
in litigation for the supposed benefit of
the general creditors. If the latter want
litigation they must pay for it. In future
l shall allow no counsel fees in such
cases until the privileged debts are paid
in full. do not think it necessary in
most cases that the workmen should be
put to the expense of proving their debts,
and the estate to the very considerable
cost of paying their dividends in due and
regular form.
