Mr Wynn Williams, for George Gatonby Stead, a creditor, applied for an order calling upon the debtor to show cause why he should not be adjudged bankrupt, a writ of execution having issued against him, and been returned endorsed nulla, bona. His Honor granted a summons calling upon tho debtor to show cause why he should not be adjudged bankrupt, the summons to be returnable on a day to be fixed by the Registrar. EE BBEIA AND WILLIAM ROBINSON. In this case, which had been before the Court for some time, the creditors’ trustee herein had obtained an order calling upon one Maxwell to show cause why he should not hand oyer the proceeds of certain bills handed over to him by the bankrupts after the bankruptcy, in part satisfaction of a claim upon them by Maxwell for money lent. The facts, as stated by Maxwell on affidavit, were that tho bills had been handed to him to cover an advance made by him to the bankrupts of £SOO. After some time, and before the bills matured, the bankrupts got the bills from him transferred to a brother-in-law of tho bankrupt, who cleared off a mortgage on the bankrupt’s property, and became possessed of it with the money raised by these bills. Mr Joynt now appeared for Maxwell, and filed affidavits setting forth that he acted in perfect ignorance that he was doing wrong when ho transferred the bills to the bankrupts. He also deposed that he had not had a sixpence from the proceeds of the bills. After argument, Mr Wynn Williams appearing for the trustee, _ His Honor made an order postponing tho declaration of the rule absolute to enable Mr Williams to take proceedings against Greer Boas to see what he had to say about ths matter. The Court then rose.
