Tins Day. IN BANKRUPTCY. (Before his Honor Mr Justice Chapman ) Robert Thomas Dorsett and John Deans appeared for final examination and discharge. Mr Stout, ou behalf of creditors, opposed in both cases. The cases were adjourned until the 25th inst. In Re Henry Burrows, an application was made for a decree of complete execution. Mr Stout supported the application, which was granted. William Biss Errand Patrick Fox passed their final examination, and the order of discharge in each case was made. In Re James M'Donald, the bankrupt appeared for final examination, but the report of the trustee uot haviu , f been sent iu, the examination was postponed until the 25th instant.

In Re William Forester. —The final examination of the bankrupt was postponed until the 25th inst., owing to a similar cause to that operating in the last ease. In Re William Th mas Haynes.— Mr Barton, on behalf of a judgment creditor named William Aitken, moved upon notice for leave to issue an execution under the 49th section of the Bankruptcy Act. It was set forth ou a series of affidavits put in that, on the 11th December last, a judgment was obtained in the Supreme Court against the bankrupt; and that on the 18th of the same month he registered a bill of sale on his property in favor of his brother, and about the same time filed a declaration of insolvency. In the face of this the Sheriff declined to execute the writ. Counsel for creditor, therefore, moved. Mr Stout opposed the motion, on the grounds that this was not the proper time to make it, and that the opposing creditors ought to wait until the final examination of the bankrupt, when all the facts of the case would be brought out. His Honor thought that sufficient evidence had been put in to support the application. He, therefore, would grant leave for execution, as issued, to be available. The Court then adjourned.
