This was a certificate from- the register, raising the question whether a proof of debt taken before a notary public who was the attorney and solicitor of record for the bankrupt [John H. Keyser] in this matter ought to be received. The register certified that, in his opinion, it was against the principles of the bankrupt law and against good custom to allow an attorney for the bankrupt to appear in any other capacity and that the proof in question should not be filed.

I concur in the conclusion of the register, that the proof ought not to be filed.
