DIVIDENDS.
42. Before declaring a dividend, the Trustee may
call for vouchers of debts proved, and in case he shall
refuse to admit the claim of any creditor to the whole
or part of the debt claimed, he shall forthwith give
notice thereof to the creditor. If no appeal against
the decision of the Trustee shall by such creditor be
delivered to the Trustee within eight days thereafter,
or in cases where, by reason of the distance of the
creditor's residence from the office of the Trustee,
this shall not be practicable within such time as an
exchange of posts will allow, the Trustee shall rank
such creditor for the amount found by the Trustee to
be due, and no more.

TRUSTEE'S MINUTE BOOK.
43. The creditor's Trustee shall keep a minute book
of his proceedings and transactions, in respect of the
matter of each bankruptcy, under a special head
applicable thereto, and also a book wherein shall be
entered a statement of all his receipts and disburse-
ments relating to any estate under his administration.
Such books shall be open to inspection, during office
hours, to any creditor who has proved his debt, on
payment of a fee of one shilling.

BANK ACCOUNT.
44. All moneys received by the Trustee shall be
paid into a bank, to be determined by the creditors
at a meeting of creditors, to the account of the estate;
and, in the event of no direction being given in that
behalf by the creditors, such moneys shall be kept and
lodged in such bank, and to such account, as shall be
directed by the Court.

OPPOSITION TO DISCHARGE OF BANKRUPT.
45. No creditor shall be admitted to oppose the
application for the bankrupt's discharge unless such
creditor shall have proved his debt, and have given
to the bankrupt notice of his intention to oppose at
least seven clear days before the day fixed for the
bankrupt's application.

TRANSFER OF PROCEEDINGS.
46. The Court may for the purposes of transferring
proceedings under the provisions of section 42 of the
Act make such order as it shall think fit, and such
order shall forthwith be filed in the Court to which
the proceedings are transferred, and thereupon the
same shall be deemed to have been transferred ac-
cordingly.

FEES OF COURT.
47. The fees of Court to be charged and paid in
matters of bankruptcy, in addition to those mentioned
in the Schedule hereto, shall be in accordance with the
scale of fees charged and paid in other civil proceed-
ings in the Court; and if there shall be any doubt
as to the fee payable in any matter, the amount
thereof shall be settled by the Registrar.
