transfer to Henderson and Macfarlane the biscuit business existing between himself and Lamb. One oE those bills, which was disposed of under that agreement was for £823 14s, and it was this debt which the prosecutor alleged was fraudulently proved against hia estate by the defendants. He would be able to prove that Henderson and Macfarlane had paid all the bills, including the £823 14s in question, and that Machattie had complied with all tile terms of the agree ment. Me believed the defence would be that the bill was an accommodation bill given by Lamb to Machattie, and afterwards paid to Henderson and Macfarlane. The answer was that it was an accommodation, but Lamb had never been charged for it, and Lamb had never paid it. (Bill produced by Mr Weston.) The bill was endorsed by T. M. Machattie, Henderson and Macfarlane, per T. Hender son. This bill had been paid at maturity by Henderson and Macfarlane. Three years and a-half afterwards Lamb swore that Machattie was indebted to him for the amount of the bill. He did not know how Lamb had become possessed of the bill, but it belonged to Machattie. Messrs Hender son and Macfarlane had retained a balance of £75S for releasing him from the liability of £3000 on the bills, and yet when they had paid the bill of £823 14s, they had allowed Lamb to have it to prove against Maehattie's estate. The bill was never charged against Lamb, and yet he gave him credit for it in the account.

His Worship said that Lamb being tho ac ceptor of the bill, the presumption was that he would be entitled to the possession of it when paid. Mr Bees : Certainly, if he paid it, but he did not pay it. Mr Weston : Somebody paid it for him.

Mr Rees : Somebody did not pay it as 1 shall prove. Mr Rees proceeded to say that this act had been done to get rid of Machattie from any business transaction, so that they might have the business to themselves. Machattie did not ask for the agreement, but the other parties to the agreement had com pelled him to sign it. John Lamb and Thos. Macffarlane filled in die amounts. Machattie was under the impression by signing the agree ment he would receive £758 from Henderson and Macfarlane as the balance of the account between them. Instead of this John Lamb got hold of this bill, and claimed the amount against the estate, thus defrauding Ma chattie out of £IGOO. One thing he par ticularly wished to point out was, that for three and a-half years Lamb made no claim against Macchattie's estate, and it was not until Mr Thomasl Macffarlane became trustee in bankruptcy that a month afterwards Lamb came forward and made this proof of debt, and made it before Mr Thomas Macffarlane as trustee. He would be able to prove that Mr Macffarlane had contradicted himself in his different reports on the bankruptcy affairs of Machattie. Mr Machattie opposed the proof, and said that he owed Lamb nothing ; on the contrary, either Henderson and Macffarlano owed him £758 or else Lamb. Counsel then read ex tracts for Mr Macffarlane reports of Ma chattie's affairs in bankruptcy. One report confirmed the statement now made in refer ence to the complicated affairs between the parties. Ha then called Thomas Milne Machattie, who deposed on oath as follows : I am the informant and ' prosecutor in this case. I have known the defendants some considerable time. Was concerned in business with both parties in 1860. I bought largely from Henderson and Macfarlane for Lamb. I remember Lamb speaking to me on the morning of tho 23 rd January, 1367, about signing an agreemont between Henderson and Macfarlane, John Lamb, and myself. Ido not remember what was said. (Agreement produoed.) Lamb did not object to any of the bills stated in the agreement prior to signing the agreement, nor did he object to sign it. It was agreed between us in presence Mr Thomas Macffar lane that Lamb owed me £3,758 18s 6d. Lamb owed that sum for goods bought on his account, and moneys paid for him. The promissory note for £823 14s did not form any portion of that amount. I have never charged that bill against Lamb. After the agreement was made Lamb never objected to this bill br any other bill. Had he have ob jected it could have made no difference in the balance due to me. If I had not given him oredit for it the balance duo from him to me would have been £823 14s more than the £3,759. If I had paid that bill I should have claimed a balance against Lamb of £1,552. Iconveyedthe 107 acres land to Henderson and Macfarlane in fee simple in terms of the agree ment. I conveyed also tho biscuit contract. I was bankrupt in 18(58. Mr Thos. Macffar lane became trustee in my estate on the 4th October, 1870. He has acted as such since. Lamb never claimed one penny from me after the agreement was signed up to the time that Mr Macffarlane became trustee in my estate. I first heard that Lamb made a claim when Mr Macffarlane shewed me the proof of debt that Lamb had made. (Proof of debt pro duced.) I took steps to dispute that claim. I objected to Lamb attending a meeting of creditors and being allowed to vote. The trustee (Mr Thos. Macffarlane) was present. He disallowed my objection. I have very often spoken to the trustee about allowing Lamb to vote on that proof. The trustee has never taken any steps to prevent him so doing. Mr Rees : Has he done anything to uphold the claims. .- Witness : He has reported to the Oourt. (Report produced and objected to by Mr Weston.) . _.'■_.« The Court adjourned at this stag© for nalf an-hour. , . On the Court resuming no one attended on, the part of the prosecution. His Worship said that the Court would wait a fow minutes longer, and if the prosecutor did not appear the case would be dismissed. After a delay ofj nearly 10 minutes Mr Machattie entered tbe Court, and the case proceeded. ■ The Clerk of the Court read the Trustee's report, at the request of the prosecutor, after which Hia Worship told the prosecutor to point out what he considered untrue. The prosecutor said that he would have to read it over himself again before he could say anything. This drew forth a sharp rebuke from his Worship for trifling with the Court. The prosecutor made a long statement in reference to thejeonduct of the trustee, and accused him of taking ex parte statements from Lamb during his absence. He con- j tinued. — '

Mr Macffarlane took these statements^ his house after dinner, after eight or nine o'clock at night. I know this is true as I was present. His Worship : Then how could they be ex parte 'i Witness : I was not there. Mr Macffar land says in his report, "I got Lamb's objec tions, and submitted them to Machattie." This I say is not true. lie further says : "And in support of his view he has ex amined Mr Lamb, Mr Yon der Heyde, and the bankrupt, and the evidence so taken has been carefully considered by me as well as the other documents in the case, and I shall try to explain to the Court the circumstances in which that agreement is entered into." I deny most positively that I was ever ex amined in the matter. I was never examined upon the accounts between myself and Mr Lamb before this report was made; but relative to certain items contained in that

account Mr Macffarlane asked me for an ex planation, and I gave it him. [had no arrangements with Lamb to provide funds to carry on his mill. Mr Lamb, in my presence, never made any objections to the amount stated against him, or the promis sory notes of £823 14s and £706 Gs .lid, nor did he object to either of the bills. He could not have objected because they were not in the account, and not known to Henderson and Macfarlane.

lam correct in all my observations. The £523 was not included in my account against Lamb, hut as Henderson and Macfarlane had taken the two promissory notes on the faith of Lamb's name being on them, they declined to exclude them, leaving it to Lamb to go against me if thought he had a claim to re cover. , Henderson and Macfarlane kept my securities, and got others Irom Mr Lamb. It was not my debt, the purchase, were made by me for Lamb from Henderson and Macfarlane, and the bills were given, endorsed by me. The goods re presented by £2,999 4s lOd were had by John Lamb. I bought tlie goods for him, endorsed the bills, and thus became their debtor, fc,l cannot explain how, as Hendersbn and Mac farlane paid all these bills, Lamb can claim £853 10s against my estate. SsThe case was adjourned until Thursday next.

SITTINGS IN BANKRUPTCY.

(Before His Honor Mr. Justice Johnston.)

In re ROBERT HALE

Mr Meyer appeared for the bankrupt, who had been a master baker in Parnell, doing a large amount of business, but he was unsuc cessful in mining speculations. He had borrowed money to meet his liabilities and keep his business alioat, and was subsequently compelled to sell his business. His liabilities were £4,800, of which £4,029 had been paid in cash and there were recoverable assets that would nearly cover tho balance of the debts in the estate.

There was nn opposition and the petitioner passed his last examination and received his final discharge.

This was all the business

There was a capital attendance last night at the theatre on the occasion of the ninth appearance of the Excelsior Star Variety Troupe, and every person present appeared highly gratified with the various per formances.

The members of No. 2 Company Rifle Brigade are requested to attend at drill this evening, and at the special meeting to be held afterwards for tho explanation and dis cussion of most important business in connec tion with the present position and general prospects of the company.
