lution, declare that the costs and charges, fees and

or by the debtor in the matter of liquidation, may be
paid out of the estate with or without taxation.

    by the scale of charges, fees, allowances to witnesses

    tion in bankruptcy in England, so far as the same
    may be suitable to the circumstances of this colony
    and the provisions of the Act; and where the same
