§ MR. PETER M'DONALD (Sligo, N.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is a fact that a case scheduled No. 1578 in the Irish Court of Bankruptcy, and adjudicated on the 13th of October 1863, is yet not wound up; whether all the creditors in said case have received their final dividends; and, whether the name of the bankrupt was incorrectly indexed, and other names under the letter K in same index were cut out, so as to prevent proper reference being made to the records of the Court?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)The case referred to, No. 1578, is not a case of bankruptcy, but of arrangement, the lands of the debtor being vested in trustees. No dividends were payable through the Court, and the only money received was £16 12s. 7d., which has been duly accounted by the Official Assignee. I am informed that the name of the debtor was correctly indexed, and that the cutting out of part of a page in the Index was due to some names under the letter "H" having been by inadvertence entered under the letter "K," and the excision was made in order to facilitate reference to the Index Book.
