intimation

the

Justice sent for me

subject.

the Chief and required

to know if I had any authority for issuing the advertisement for sale

which he then had in his hands.

I replied that I had and produced the order under the seal of the Court, he there demanded to see the minute book, which I produced.

Enquiring in a most insulting

manner

as though I had been proceeding in a clandestine way, he asked if I had any authority, and where it could be found that every step had been taken in the most regular way, that the order had been made by himself. He said it was

an improvident order which ought not to have been made.

He then informed

me that Ani-Wotton

has objected to the proposed sale as not being for the benefit of the Estate and handed me an affidavit of Mr. Notters in which it was stated, that on behalf of three Creditors named and others not named, he objected to the sale as not being for the benefit of the Estate, the three Creditors named were I believe, all females, whose proofs amounted to some $5,000 out of about $36,000 total proof.

I then explained to the Chief Justice, as the fact was, that Mr. Walton had objected when the advertisement for sale first appeared in May last, not to the sale, but to the employment of Messrs Stephen Son & Co., his own agents, from having been previously employed.
