Mr. JENCKES. Ilthe Gentfrom NewYork [Mr. HALE] would compare the language of this section carefully with that of the 1st section, he would see that there are many cases which could be very much speeded in the hearing and decision, by giving concurrent jurisdiction to the circuit courts. The 1st section provides that all offlllilll proceedings in bankruptcy thatis, nll recling to bankruptcy itself, tie discharge of the bankrn t, and questions growing out of his personalp his creditors shall be 1st heard and deter mined there. But in regard to questions arising in the settlement o his estate, it may be to the advantage of all parties to have roccedings instituted in the circuit court an carried through as rapidly as possible. Thus, for instance, a great many cases arise in the settlement of a bankrupts estate which can only be prosecuted in the equity side of the court. This gives to the assignee power to institute proceedings in the circuit court, or gives the relations to claimant the right to institute a suit against him, and thus place his case under the rule of practice of the circuit court of the U.S., as established by the code laid down by the Supreme Court, and puts forward the case to an early decision, giving either of the parties an opportunity to carry it up by appeal to the SCOUTS. These sections are framed so that one is the complement of the other, and With a VICW, not of hindering proceedings or embarrassing anybody, but getting speedy action before the highest tribunal. There are numerous terms of the district court, and 2 terms of the circuit court in all the districts. There are at least 4 terms of the district to 2 of the circuit court. It may be very desirable to have ii suit brought in the circuit court, as one of the judges of the Supreme Court may sit there for the purpose of speeding the ultimate decision of the causein the Supreme Court. Itbroughtinto the district court it has to be taken by appeal to the circuit court, or by writ of error it it is a suit at law. I hope the Gentfrom NewYork Will be satisfied that. it is to aid in the administration of law, and not with a view to delay that this provision is made.
