Re JONATHAN WARRAL HINES,

Mr Brookfield, on behalf of the trustee in this estate, applied for an order for a summons against the bankrupt requiring him to appear and shew cause why he had not fulfilled the conditions of his discharge. Mr Brookfield said the application was made under the 2S6th section of the Act.

The bankrupt, who was described as a gentleman of Parnell, was adjudicated on the 12th April, 1873. On the 29th May he came up for his final examination. On that occasion several creditors appeared to oppose, and the trustee's report was also unfavourable. "The examination was adjourned to the sth of June to admit of / composition being made. When the bank rapt appeared it was stated by Mr Jame

Russell on his behalf that it had k. arranged with the creditors that he ahnu pay the trustee £5 per month as long M iT received his allowance from his father until he had paid 10s in the £ on the «i« of liabilities. All opposition was then with drawn, and the bankrupt received his d charge. Since that time the bankrupt Wi* only paid LlB instead of LSO. The truatT had made repeated applications but had r ceived no response. " c

The learned counsel put in an affidavit of the trustee. He had every reason to heW that bankrupt had received his allowance regularly. '* His Honor granted the order for a sum mons requiring the bankrupt to appear next Court diy.
