PREFACE.

THE present work contains the Bankruptcy rules made pursuant to section 127 of the Bankruptcy Act, 1883; the general rules as to Administration orders under section 122 of the same act; the forms annexed to both sets of rules; the orders of the Lord Chancellor and Mr. Justice Cave, dated the 1st and 7th January, 1884, and such of the Board of Trade orders and forms as affect or are likely to be useful to debtors, creditors, trustees, or professional men in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act of 1883. To the Bankruptcy rules we have appended notes, containing, as we hope, a complete system of cross-references to the clauses of the act, to other rules, and to the forms which bear upon, or are useful in connection with, any matter of procedure. To the rules as to Administration orders we have prefixed an introduction, in which we have discussed, and endeavoured to give a clear view of, this new branch, in reality if not in name, of Bankruptcy practice. We have added to the whole an index, which will, we trust, facilitate the perusal of, or reference to, the necessarily rather miscellaneous contents of the volume.
