MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE SHAW CASE.
Inc Assets to be Distributed to the
Creditors-Wyman's Account Called
for June 24th.

BosToS, April 90.
The hearing in the case of the Globe Ma
tional Bank VS.. Ferdinand A. wyman, trus.
ent tanners, was resumed this morning be-
fore Judge Colburn in the supreme court.
1t is an application of the creditors of F..
Shaw Bros, for pro rata division of such
portion of the failed firms assets as has
been converted into money. After argu-
ments for and against the admission of de-
murrers by Richardson & Denny. his honor
said it was not in his province to determine
whether the question should be decided in in
| solvency or otherwise. The question before
the court was simply whether the present
proceedings should be delayed in order to
allow certain creditors time to file petitions
for insolvency proceedings. The court
thought these creditors already had plenty of
time to place F. Shaw Bros. in insolvency.
The trustees should be authorized to render
the list of creditors and the dividend should
be made. Apparently the bulk of ere ditors
are willing to come in under the present as
oiShhcHt- tfdt tiieTeIoTe, IL
was his duty to issue an order providing that
the assets now in the hands of the trustees
shall be distributed among those creditors
who have agreed to the assignment and if
other particular creditors should in the mean
time express a desire to come in then they
should be allowed to do so and fl lie such
papers as they see fit. The court however
would not sanction any papers, that may be
filed. The court refused to call Richardson
Denny to prove in these proceedings, alle-
cations other subjects contained in the
paper they had filed. His honor allowed the
trustees until the cath day of June to render
an account of the assets, debtors and claims
against the estate. The hearing resulted in
the court allowing the petition of the Globe
National Bank and committee of creditors,
and disallowing the papers filed by Richard
son & Denny and certain others creditors.
These latter creditors will have to prove
their claims and come in under the assign
ment or be bebarred from settlement and
Wyman must render an account before June

doubled vigor. Forty-two district delegates
