His lordship: It is a very roundabout way. If the petitioning creditor is entitled to a share, there ought to be some very much shorter and less costly form of proceeding than this under the Bankruptcy Ordinances. I think permitting all creditors to lodge notice of attack ment with the bailiff directly after a sale by one execution creditor, so that the proceeds are divided at once without farther trouble-the going to all the costs and delays and incon. veniences of bankruptcy proceedings to arrive at Ordina YOUR the very same end.

At the Sanitary Board Meeting this afternoon * letter was real from the Acting Colonial Secret:ry an follows:
"izm directed to state that in the oplelon of the Governor it is manifestly undesirable to allow the continuance of the use of storm-water drains as sewers where it is avoidable; and I am there fore to request that the Board will express än opintos la regard to the steps necessary for the completion of the separate system of drainage, by compelling owners of private property to con- nect the house drains to public sewers without delay wherever practicable."
The dange ous practice of caring the refuse taken from infected house through the city to West Point for the purpose of destruction by fire, fa all in full swing. Surely this system of dispost.ag of the disgusting subbish referred to might be improved upon to the advantage of all. concerned.
