(To the Attorney General): We can now go on with the case; and wish you to show me now, all those things being assumed, how I can give you an order. His Lordehip bere referred to a very ingenious argument advanced by Mr Toller, based upon Sect, 80 of the Bank ruptay Ordinance, 5 of 1864, to the effect that the estate and effects of a judgment and direction of the Court as were the estate and effects of a bankrupt after a creditor's petition had been granted for

The section reads as follows a
"XXX-Except as is herein specially provided, the Debtor, personally, and all his Estate and Effects Real and Perannal, shall, upon the issuing of such Judgment Debtor Sammons, be subject to the Urder and Direction of the Court in the game manner as if a Petition for Adjudication allusion to the process which would have had been filed by a creditor against sach

Mr Brereton here rose and made an

The Chief Justice spoke warmly of the absence of a Croditors' Assignee on this and other occasions. Why, he said, do not the creditors come forward and take sare of their own interests Why do they not do their duty, and come here and appoint a Oreditors' Assignee, who could protect their interests
Mr Brereton suggested that only two of the partners had as yot be declared bankrupts. The case was not rips until the whole firm were adjudicated.
The Chief Justice asked why the creditors could not prove their debts against each as the bankruptcy arose. All the mischief in this Colony had arisen from the miscon- doot of creditors-the grave misconduct of creditors.
The Attornoy Geasral said that the chief mortgages, it fully reimbursed, could not object; and he was convinced that it would be to the advantage of all concerned to sell
st once.
All the parties represented, as above detailed, then submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court, and expressed themselves as in favour of the position. Here the Chief Justice called the attention of the Deputy Registrar to the fact that it was his business to take down all proceedings, as a record of the Court,
Mr Hayitar hore explained that his client, Lo Hok Ping, had already soid the interest on his mortgage to another, con- ditionally on su order being given by the Court to sell. All his interest had already been sold.
Liis Lordship saked the Attorney General what he thought of Mr Toller's argument. The Attorney General was of opinion that there was a goxi deal in it. He thought it empowered the Court to not, and that it was immaterial whether there had bean personal service, or whether the debtor were in the Colony or not.
The Chief Justive asked what was meant by the words "except an is herein specially provided." He admitted it was an ill-constructed sentence in a masterly aummary of the bankruptcy law, and he failed to find any model for it in the Home Act.

Most young people are looking forward to the Christmas holidays, essentially the time for enjoyment for all who are afraid neither dreams of well-filled stockings, Christmas of the future nor the past. Many are the trees, and juvenils balls, which are indulged in weeks and months before the blissful with a large circle of acquaintance, have engagements that are made for them. Too much as they can well do to keep all the much party-going in a bad thing for young folks, as it is for old ones, but once or twice during the holidays a children's party is a harmless and very enjoyable pleasure. It should be a real child's party, and not a dance half composed of grown-up people, and where even the children seem like little men and women in their attempts to imitate their elders in the art of flirtation during the trois temps and the "Boston Dip.

Once the children have been persuaded to move, and the boys not to congregate on one side of the room and the girls on the other, the first trouble will be over.
