Final orders of discharge were granted to John Chirnside (Mr Macgregor for debtor); and John Cowan Docherty (Mr M'Keay for debtor). BE JOSEPH BELL. The Registrar stated that there was no affidavit of the postage of notices filed in this matter. He was afraid that this omission must prove fatal to the whole proceedings. The debtor explained that the proceedings had been commenced on his behalf by Mr J. E. H. Harris, and that Mr Mouat was to have appeared in support of the present application to explain matters. Mr Mouat now came into Court, and The Registrar explained the omission to him.
Mr Mouat: That is fatal to the whole proceedings. The Registrar: I fear so. Mr Mouat: It is very unfortunnte for the bankrupt. I did not commence the proceedings on his behalf, but merely applied for his discharge. The Registrar: I see they were commenced by another solicitor. Mr Mouat: You feel certain of the fact that the affidavit has never been filed ?
The Registrar: Yes. Mr Mouat: The omission is incurable. I am afraid there is no way of remedying it. The Registrar : I fear not. The matter then dropped. RE JOHN MORRISON INNES.
