Adjudications, —Robert Home and Robert Lambert were adjudged baukrupta, the first meeting of creditors in each case to be held on the 24th instant. IN BANCO. White and Another v. M'Kellar and Another.— Mr Macassey, with him Mr Branson, for defendants, moved for a rule absolute.—Mr Barton and Mr Smith showed cause, Mr Barton saying that the granting of the rule would only heap up further cfests in a case in which they had already been excessive. He intended to speak pretty strongly, for this application was another of the entirely discreditable motions on the part of defendants which had marked the course of this case. The rule had been is sued improvidently, as defendants’application was based on his Honor’s notes, which had not been supplied to plaintiffs [Counsel here read an 'extract from the notes, a mere comment of his Honor, anti said sUeh notes i

should decidedly- not have been made use of.—Uia Honor :It certainly should not have been copied.] It would be unprecedented for the rule to be made absolute, and he {Mr Barton) asked that it be discharged, with costs. [Counsel at great length cited a number of cases bearing on the argument, and opposed the application to this case, of those referred to by counsel for the defendants.]—Mr Smith followed on the same side, and Mr Macassey and Mr Branson replied.—His Honor reserved his decision, and the Court adjourned sine die.
