110. In any case in which it appears from the debtor's statement of affairs that there are numerous claims for wages by workmen or others employed by the debtor, it shall be sufficient if one proof for all such claims is made either by the debtor or by his foreman or some other person on behalf of all such creditors. Such proof shall have annexed thereto, as forming part thereof, a schedule setting forth the names of the workmen or others and the amounts severally due to them. Any proof made in compliance with this rule shall have the same effect as if separate proofs had been made by each of the said workmen or others. Form 48.

112. A proof intended to be used at the first meeting of creditors shall be lodged with the Official Receiver not later than twenty-four hours before the time appointed for the meeting. A proof intended to be used at an adjournment of the first meeting (if not lodged in time for the first meeting) must be lodged not less than twenty-four hours before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting.
