j. His Honor said he thought he had exer cised a great amount of patience in listening to the interminable arguments which had been brought forward. Ho could not help observing that the conduct of the bankrupt had not been such as to entitle him to speciai consideration. The Court was put into a false position which it could not accept. The order applied for by Mr Hesketn was granted, his Honor leaving it to the bank rupt to exercise his right, if he had a right, to re-open the matters of fact before a jury. On the question raised by Mr Hesketh, His Honor said he held the same opinion now as he did at the previous decison of the Court, namely, that Lamb had not done all he could to avoid the proceedings. He would there fore merely exempt Lamb from payment of the accountant's costs. Mr Bees made an application in the estate of Maehattie for rule nisi, calling upon the Trustee to shew cause why his name should not appear as plaintiff in the action against Mr J. S. Macfarlane. The application was made on the affidavit of Mr Maehattie, who verily thought that if the real state of accounts between himself and Macfarlane ■were disclosed he would be shewn to have a large s-_m due to him. His. Honor directed that the notice of motion should be served next Thursday.
