James Rae v. 11. R. Clayton.—Claim£16 15s, on a judgment) summons. Mr.Cotter for the judgment creditor and Mr.Button for the debtor. Mr. Button saidthe total amount owing by the defendantto all his creditors was £113 17s, apartfrom & debt of £60 secured by defen-dant's furniture. Five of his credi-tors, whose claims amounted to £70 7s,had agreed to a proposal he submitted,but the other three, amongst them Mr.Rae, whose claims aggregated £44 10s,

declined to accept the proposal. Mr.Rao had offered the same terms as hegave to bank and insurance clerks—namely,Is per £ per month, which amounted to 60

j per cent. The debtor recognised that bysuch a system ho would never be able toget clear. Consequently he proposed topay £4 4s 9d per month towards the pay-ment of all his debts, which would beequivalent to a dividend of 9d in the £ permonth to each creditor. By this arrange-ment he would pay off all he owed in some-thing over two years. Mr. Cotter said thestatement made by Mr. Button was in themain correct, and he would not, therefore,put the. debtor in the box. Ho pointed outthat Mr. Rae was the only creditor who hadtaken out a judgment summons against thedefendant, and said he would like HisWorship's ruling as to whether he (Rae)should not, therefore, be entitled to anorder irrospectivoof the others'claim3. If theCourt would establish the precedent of mak-ing an order for payments in proportion towhat the defendant could pay to all his credi- ]tors, ho (Mr. Cotter) could offer no objec-tion. Mr. Rae was willing to accept £1 permonth, thus allowing sixteen months, with-out interest, to pay off the amount of theclaim. His Worship said the question wasone which hadoften occurred tohim, whetherit would be right to recogni.-e an arrange-ment with the body of the creditors, and,instead of insisting upon a judgmentcreditor who asked for an order coming inwith the others, to give him the prece-dence ; or whether the debtor should onlybe required to pay to him an amount whichhe would be able to pay to all by way ofdividends? The true solution seemed tohim to be that, whero the arrangementproposed was reasonable and bona fidp., andnot impugned in any way, the Courtshould recognise should, in short, takeinto consideration the circumstances of thedebtor. If, on the other hand, it hassought to impugn the statement byalleging extravagant living, fraud, orany of the other things mentionedin the Imprisonment for Debt Aboli-tion Act, such grounds of objectionought to be set up and proved, but whenthe only ground was that the debtor hadhad the means to pay since the date of thejudgment, it was only fair that the wholeof his circumstances should be taken intoaccount. For these reasons His Worshipthought the ordor should be for an amountequal to the dividend the debtor could payto each of his creditors. The statementmade to Mr. Button having been admittedby the other side to be correct, that amoundwould be 12s per month, and an order

I would be made accordingly.
