The Supreme Court was occupied yester day afternoon and to-day with a long exam ination, by Mr MacCormick, of George Thorne, junr., relative to his accounts.- His Honor Mr Justice Gillies said it was needless to go over all the ground again, as the notes left by the late Chief Justice were very full. He intended to sit day by day till the case was concluded.—Mr MacCormick to day examined the bankrupt at great length with reference to his dealings with his lather.— •During the course of the proceedings his Honor remarked that it was really quite unnecessary to go again into many of the matters raised Mr Thome had ad mitted throughout that he had endeavoured to satisfy the debts due to all other creditors in preference to the claim of the Bank of New South Wales.—Mr MacCormick said he wished to shew that the bankrupt had en deavoured to pay over a sum to hia father when there was no contra-account.—His Honorfthought the evidence indicated that the sum referred to was meant to secure Mr Thorne,(J sen., the same as other outside creditors, from any loss consequent on the insolvency. The examination elicited nothing that had not been disclosed during previous sittings, and chiefly ralated to items of accounts and the mode in which, they had been charged.
