The hearing of the case was resumed The trustee, Mr Jones, again reported complaining of the obstacles placed in his way by the bankrupt. Hs said "Delays have consequently arisen, and I am no further advanced m the winding up of this estate than I was months ago, and the estate has had to suiter those necessary expenses of rent and clerical assistance which are inseperable from the estate not having been wound up. I have to remind? this honorable Court that the bankrupt, within a short time of his bankruptcy, realised the great bulk of his assets leaviDg but little to be collected or realised upon ; and the residue which I have been able to collect from his debtors, and from sale of the small stock remaining in store when the Provisional Trustee went into possession, altogether about L 6,000, will leave bnt the small dividend of about 3s 4d in the pound for the creditors."
