BLATCHFORD, District Judge.
The proper course by which to obtain the relief sought by the alleged creditor is not by an amendment of the proof of debt. The amendment sought relates to a new and different claim from any one of those embraced in the existing proof of debt The proper course is for the creditor to prove his newly-discovered debt independently. Then an investigation in regard to it can be had, on the application of the assignee, and also an investigation in regard to the two seven' hundred and eight dollar notes, and the due bill for one hundred and sixty-two dollars and seventy-one cents, and the claims which ought to be rejected can be determined on the examination and cross-examination, as witnesses, of the alleged creditor himself and the bankrupt, and Mr, and Mrs. Griffin, and all others who know anything of the facts. For these reasons the leave to amend the proof of debt is denied.' The clerk will certify this decision to the register, Theodore B, Gates, Esq.
