A JUDICIAL OPINION.
During the sitting of the Bankruptcy Court m Wellington this week the Official Assignee, addressing his Honor the Chief Justice, said that creditors m bankruptcy estates appeared to be under the impression that the matter of objecting to a bankrupt's discharge rested with the Official Assignee. Unless there was any special reason to the contrary,the Official Assignee, m his report to the Court need not object to the debtor's discharge, which duty he believed his Honor would rule devolved upon the creditors, who, if they objected to a discharge being granted, must attend the Court. His Honor said this was quite correct. In the cases where the Official Assignee did not object to a bankrupt's discharge, and where no creditors attended to object, the Court had no option (if the reports were good^ but to grant a discharge.
