The Two Relations were Affignees of the Bankrupts Eitates, confequently the. Dividend was made jointly by them to the reft of the Creditors.

Previous to this, a Quarrel reSpecting their own private Affairs, had raifed do wide a Breach in their former Friendfhip, that the prefent Defendant retired to the Con-. tinent, and there challenged the Profecutor The to end by a fingle Combat their Animofity. latter paid no Regard to this fpirited Addrefs, fo that when the Defendant came over to this Kingdom, he furprifed the Profecutor In this with State a like Reception as the former one. of Altercation were the Parties in, when a Second- Dividend was. to be' made under the Commiflion.
