The adjourned hearing on the appeal Of the
First National Bank and other banks of tais
city from the decision Of the Judge Of Insol-
vency of York County, disallowng proof
against the individual estates of Titcomb &
Thompson of Kennebunk, occupied the
whole of yesterday in chambers before Judge
Virgin. The following counsel appeared:
Butler & Libby for the banks, applts.; Joseph
Dana and r. P Tapley for assignee; S. G..
Strout for Directing creditor.
The testimony and arguments are concluded
and the case is held for advisement. An i'm
portant principle is involved in this case, the
right of creditors to double proof of their debts
and also the question Of election as to the
estate from which dividends shall be received,
and the time when such election must be made
by the creditors.
The amounts involved 10 this estate are con-
siderable. the cebss already proved excee ding
100000, aud the questions arising in its
settlement bid fair to test the efficiency of our
inso!.gent law.
In the Court below the bank proved the
claims against the partnership estate, expressly
reserving the right to prove the claims against
the individual estates, and gice oerSd. The
Judge Of the lower court allowed the proof
sgaiuss the partnership estate be disallowed
the claims to be proved against the individual
estates Of the partnership, and upon this dis'
allowance the bank appealed TO the Supreme
Court

The Canadian Tariff and Portland Trade.

He fiuds it will make some difference with the
dealers in dry goods, sugar, fifh and fruit, the
latter only 10 summer.
In dry goods the duty per yard or pound,
added to rhe ad valorem duty will average 80
per cent and shut off the trade of our Wholesale
dealers in Yankee manufactures. In sugar the
tsriff is raised from "a to 30 per cent. and will
effect George S. Hunt & Co.'s export OF refined
