Mr. Francis said that he had at first intended to oppose the application, or to object to the two gentlemen named as liquidators, owing to the fact that there had been a disposition to enter into more expensive litigation; but it would be sufficient if the order now asked for were framed to prevent Ittigation except such as the Court should sanction.

Mr. Philippo agreed.

After some farther remarks,

His Lordship made an order that the voluntary liquidation continue, subject to the supervision of the Court, and that the liquidators must not commence any leg-1. proceedings without the dirrc:Jon of the Court Coma of the petitioner, the Bank, and the Company, all to be paid out of the assets.
