Yesterday, in the matter of Charles C, Hubbel and Edward A. Chapel, bankrupts, Judge Blatch- ford rendered tue Joilowing decision, affecting the rigat of au attorney to recover tor legal ser- vices rendered to an assignee in bankruptcy :— DECISION. On the i8th of November, 1873, the attorney for | the assignee preseuted to tms Court a petition setting loruh that be had rendered varions ser- Vices in this matter, a8 attorney for the said assignee, as such, im reierence to the estate of the bankrupts, and that the valne of such services was the sum of $441 57, and praying ior an order referring it to the regis- ter In charge oi the case to tax the amount Of costs, counsel iees and disbursements of the said petiuioner services On notice to the assignee. The Court re- tused to make the order on the ground then stated iM @ Memorandum indorsed on the petition, that ‘the bill “should be made @ part of the assiguce’s ac- cuunts, and be presented at a meeting of the | creditors, und ve audiled as part of the assignee’s accounts.” Hi au assignee employs an attorney, who renders legal services tor him, the bill 01 the attor- ney therefore should be presented py the assignee as part O! bis accounts, at a meeting of creditors Where the assignee’s accounts are required to be presented, as provided by section 27 of the act. The intention is that the dis- vursements of tne assignee in adminis- tering the estate, whether only incurred and Lot yet paid, or whether incurred and paid, shall be submitted to the creditors at a geuerai meeting and ve audited by the Register as a part Of the busivess of auaiting the accounts of the as- signee, with a view to passing the same, under the power given to the Kegister by section 4 of the act and general order No. 5, to audit and pass the accounts of assignees. Under special circum- stances the Uourt may properly, on due notice to all creditors who have proved their debts, insti- tute au inquiry mto the services rendered to an assignee by an attorney or counselior, with a view to payment of them prior to the hoiding of any second general meeting ef creditors; bat the practice 1s one noi to be encouraged. On the 28th oi February, 1874, the attorney for | the assignee presented the Court a petition setting jorth, With particularity, the services he hac rendered to the assignee in reference to the estale, and annexing a bill thereof, stated in iems, aud amounting, for services and disbuse- ments, to $556 57. The petition stares that at the third meeving of cieditors—out when that was held 18 pot stated—the petitioner presented his bill contaming ali the items, except the last four, to the Legister .or taxa'ion ana allowance in open mesting; that the bill was brought to che kuowledge of the assignee and al! the creditors present, and nether the assignee nor an, ereditor took objection to the bill; that sab- sequently the Register, without passing on the bill, passed the accounts of the assignee and dis- charged him: but no order of distrioution had been made, and he still bad in bis hands funds or the estate to the amount of about $3,000; that subsequently the Register, baving doubts as to nis power to pass upon the bili, declined to do so; | that thereaiter the sald petition of November 18, 1873, Was presented to the Court, and that the bill | Was fully presented for allowance at the tuird Meeting Oi creditors, anu ail tue creditors and the assignee had notice thereot and opportonity to object, and no objection was made. The petition prayed tor an order directing tue Register to pass Upon, tax and adjust the bul. The assignee con- sented, in writing, chat the petition be presented. Thereupon the Court made an order that the Register “pass upon, tax, audit and adjust the bill, upon notice to the assignee,” and ascertain and report, on like notice, whether anything, and, 1180, bow much ought to be paid thereon by said assignee out of the assets of the estate, and report his opinion, with evidence taken, to this Court. By the proceedings before the Register, under this order, now re.urned to the Court, it appears the assignee attended belore the Register and that the attorney made proof of the services he had rendered and of their vaiue, and that the assignee itroduced no evidence. Tie bill, as so proved, amounts to $556 57. The Register reports that, im his opinion, the bill so proved should be taxed, audited and adjusted and paid out of the assets of the estate, The diMicuity [ have in this matter is that, even assuming that the presentation of the bill that was presented at the third meeting o1 creditors, in the manner ip which it was presented, was & Proper presentation of it and @ sobstantial com- pliance with the ee practice, as hereinbefore stated, yet the bill now presented has four items added 0 it, the last four (which seem to amouut Vo $178 20), which have never been submitted to the creditors, Moreover, in the petition of No- yember 18, 1874, the ili is stated to amount to $441 57, It is now ciaimed to be $566 #57. The only course open is for a Meeting of the creditors to be ordered by the Court, the assignee to give, uuder section 17, suc notice thereot to all known creditors, by publica- ton and otherwise, as is required to be given by the Marshal on the first meeting of creditors, the notice to stale that the special business o: the meeting is tO audit and pass upon the said bi stating lis generai nature and amount as claime and the proceedings at the meeting to ve reportea to the court. Let a proper order {tn the premises be prepared by the Register and submitted (othe Sourt. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. The Pacific Railroad Injunction Matter. Before Jnage Donohue.

Unappreciated Judical Industry. There are six judges provided for by statute and elected by the people to preside over the several branches or “parts” toto which the Marine Court | is divided. From small beginnings the jurisdiction of the Court has been from time to time extended, till it has become, to the great bulk of the business people of the city, the arena for the settlement of all litigated matter in contracts, warrantees, slanders, false imprisonments, actions for trover, disputed promissory notes, sheriffs’ seizures, recoveries on fire and life insurance policies, and the thousand and one ills that busi- ness life is heir to, from a suit for $50 to one tor $1,000. The calendars are loaded down, and the judges are literally working like beavers, almost | out of sight. Parts1and2 are held onthe floor over the Court of General Sessions. Part 3, in a room over the First Civil District Court, over the epgine house on Chambers street. Part4, in a little 6 by 8 room in the same excuse fur a public building, and Part 51s heid in one of the court rooms of the Common Pieas, loaned for this occa- sion only. The judicial spirit 1s strong, but must succumb under the difficulties that beset the judges in the discharge o! their duties. The Board of Supervisors -shonld look to it that proper accommodation 16 provided for the judges of this, the busiest, Court m the city within one bailding, and not have them scattered all over the park, seeking places wherein they can sit fora term or two to dispose of the heavy public business devolving upon them, The judges sitting in the regular parts, as well as the judges who have improvised “parts,” are often compelled to act as their own clerks, swearing jurors and witnesses, the regular officials not being sufficient to cover all the ground. Let there be a remedy for this state of affairs, so that judicial zeal and modesty shall be no longer shanieiully unappreciated, .« The United States Courts in Chambers Street. It would be a great benefit to the officials of the | United States District and Circuit courts if they could quicky get into the new and splendid quar- ters intended for them in the new Post Office buila- ing and out of that dingy old structure in Cham- bers street, sacred as it has been for many years to cobwebs and the storage of the various kinds o! lumber and contraband goods seized by the | Marshal. The ghost of Burton, whose theatre | this temple of justice in Chambers street once was, may have been disturbed by the eloquence of advocates and the judicial pronounce- ments of magistrates; but it is to be hoped that soon the poor ghost will have ample room to Mit | around in the somewhat altered scene of former triumphs in dramatic art, while advocates, judges and magistrates are making the echoes reverberate in the new hall of justice, in which there cannot be any ghosts or cobwebs for a long time to come, and where there will be plenty of room for the accommodation of officials, and the due discharge of the public business. Touching Reform and RKetrenchment. And now Charles Spencer has got a fat office created for his special benefit, Why not? Cor- poration Counsel E. Delafield Smith thought he Was entitled to some recognition for his eminent public service in the Legislature, and has appointed him Attorney to the Department of Docks, witn a handsome salary of $6,000 a year and nothing to do, Mr. Smith has also appointed Alexander Harvey as Attorney for the Collector of Persunal Taxes, In the aprointment o! Charles Spencer as | | @ sinecurist the taap?vers can see how great the reiorm they achieved iu municipal matters a couple of years. ago redounds to their benefit. Keep the ball going for retrenchment! _ EXTENSIVE ERY. eae Ss Se" 3 Sie The safe of the New York Central Rallroad Com- pany was robbed yesterday or during the pre- vious night of the sum 0! $32,000, in bills of various denominations. The failure to appear at his place | as usual, of a young man employed in one of the offices, named George Van Velzer, led to the dis- covery ofthe robbery. Both circumstances, the disappearance of the money and the young man, led to the inference that he had committed the crime, but tere is, as yet, nothing definitely known that williasten the act on him. Van Vel- zer is only about nineteen years of age, and has been employed for some years in the depot. His | father, & Must respectavie man, aiso holds a position under the railroad management. Young Van Vel- wer was at his post as usual on Saturday, but nothing in his conduct created suspicion. His ab- gence yesterd: Picea k i BP ears, attracted at- tention, but little was at first lhouht oi tt. Later | an the day, however, some one happened to re- | member he knew tne combination of the safe. In | this sale was a large umount o! money, and the chiefs of the diferent bureaus in the depot became uneasy. AneXamination of the safe was maie, and it was atonce discovered it had been tam- pered with. The combination was disarranged | @md the door could not be opened. Word was sent to the manuiacturers of the strong box, and atter a few hours’ delay the interior and the fact of the theft were at once laid bare. A cursory lance soon told that a robbery had en committed, and alter a careful scrutiny of the contents it was established that the sum taken amounted to $30,000, There is as yet notning to connect young Van Velzer with the absence of the money except his own disappearance, witn his previous knowleage of the combination, and the railroad authorities are very careful about cou- necting his name with it. Captain Irving, of the Centra: Office, was notified of what had occurred during the afternoon, and be intrusted the work- ing up Of the case to Detectives Sampson and Far- ley. A young man named Baxter is also missing, and it is supposed Van Veizer and he are together. ‘The police are of opinion they are still in town, and hope to catch them beiore much of the money 18 squandered. | i | REAL ESTATE, The week following “moving day” in the great chattel world is not usually the scene of much | Movement in the real estate market, realty during | that period being not ordinarily in such high favor as at other times, when the drawbacks to perfect happiness in ownership are most apparent in the excited Judgments or expectations of tenants. Hence it ts not Ces that the market yester- day was dull and the dealings jew. werd, A, H.
