before the mouldering remnants of these estates could be dealt with. Now, in the list of bankruptcies to which we have already referred there are nearly twenty cases for which Haffam noted as Official Assignee; and is tho adjudication of the first of these is dated 8th May 1863, the manner in which this branch of the business of the Court, was conducted becomes fairly clear, while the sstonishment over the fact that the Head of the Judicial Department in compelled even now to make the con- fession which was made by Chief Justice Phillippo the other other day, is natu- rally all the more pronounced. We believe that, in the case of Vaucher and Blakeway, a meeting of creditors was called, and a dividend declared, by Mr Gibbons nearly two years since, but that, as appeared inferentially from the remarks of the Chief Justice the other day, payment was stopped by Sir John Smale, the judgment in the case bearing date of 4th September 1880, A sub- Bequent decision was given by Mr Justice Snowden, who appeared to echo Judge Smale's views. Apart, therefore, from the intolerable annoyance caused to persons who, having recovered their credit for nearly fifteen years, find themselves periodically referred to in the Court reports as bankrupte, there is the perpetuation of an unprecedented condition of things under which credi- tors are not only debarred from obtain- ing a dividend for fourteen years after they ought to have received the money, but are denied their rights two years after a dividend has actually been
