BANKRUPTCY JURISDICTION.

Re Jonathan Auld, Mr Jones moved for a final order of di-*---charge. There was no opposition, none of the creditors having attended any of the meetings. His Honor quoted the ruling recently given by Judge Gillies, in regard to tbe refusal of discharges in estates wbere there were no assets, and siid that to some extent he intended to follow that ruling, but only in cases wbere tbe creditors opposed tbe dis** charge. In the present case there was no opposition of any kind, and everything appeared to be regular, aud the discharge* would therefore be granted.
