REFEREES IN BANKRUPTCY.
AS : ated in Yesterdays Gazette
Judge f imund Waddil, jr., of the U
:. Court, has issued his order sub.di
siuing the territory composed within
the eastern judicial district of this State
( into districs for the appointment of
referees in bankruptcy, pursuant to the
.,ct of Congress, which was approved
July lst last The referees are located
with special reference to the conve-
nlence of members of the bar aud llti-
eants 10 the counties over which they
have charge.
The delay in making the apportion
ment aud selecting the officers who are
10 administer the bankruptcy law Was
| due to the fact that the Supreme Court
uf the United S ates, which WAS EN-.
powered to adopt forms and rules Of
| procedure, only met few days ago,
aud has not yeu made public the regu.
latlous which will govern the bankrupt
cy proceedings.
L. is known that great numbers of
| petitions Of bankruptcy are ready to be
!ustituted throughout the State, and
lswy ers will hasten TO get their papers
| IN AS soon as the forms come 10 hand.
| Judge Waddill has not yet made a ru
| ing as to whether or not the cases that
lave besn filed will be considered as
in proper tolm. The general opinion
is that they Will be so considered, but
most attorneys prefer TO wait until
| hey have the forms prescribed by the
Supreme Court.
The law is now in full operation, and
| these announcements will oe read with
much interest.
