said trustee filed with me an application for allowance for his services as such attorney and praying for additional compensation. Due notice was given to all of the creditors herein of a meeting to consider such application and pass on the trustee's account. That such meeting was duly held at my office on 19..., and no

objections were made or filed to such account.

The trustee in his final account charges himself with having received a total of $........ and credits himself with having disbursed the sum of $...... leaving in his hands a balance of $......

That the commissions of the trustee herein amount to the sum of $.....

That it appears by the petition of

..., the attorney for the trustee, that he has acted continuously as such attorney, from 19..., to date, a period of more than

........

years, and has brought a suit against and others, to recover assets in large amount alleged to have been diverted from said corporation prior to the adjudication, and concealed. That such suit was instituted in the Court of .... and resulted in a substantial recovery for the estate. That the amount of time employed by counsel in the conduct of this suit may be summarized as follows:

That this involved the preparation of the bill in equity, taking out of commissions to take testimony in various states, preliminary motions and the actual trial of the case on the ....... day of .... resulting in a decree in favor of the trustee upon which the estate realized the sum of $........ That it also appears by the petition of said attorney for the trustee that he conducted a lengthy examination of the officers of the bankrupt and other witnesses at the first meeting of creditors and adjournments thereof before the referee and also special examinations under orders obtained upon application under section 21-a, involving days of attendance before

the referee.

It also appears that the said attorney collected the outstanding accounts entailing correspondence with debtors in various parts of the country; that he investigated a pending suit of the bankrupt against ... in and advised the

trustee with reference to same.

He also brought proceedings on behalf of the trustee to re-examine different claims filed in the referee's office, each of which was an independent proceeding, and are set forth in detail in the attorney's petition with the ultimate disposition of each proceeding.

These re-examinations involved an unusual amount of time and work for the trustee's attorney and were of substantial benefit in reducing the amount of claims presented against the estate.

He also prepared petition and order for sale of bankrupt's effects and bill of sale thereon, and the various reports and final account of the trustee. He also rendered the general and ordinary services of the attorney for the trustee. That in view of the facts presented and the amount of services rendered, I am of the opinion, that the sum of $........ which is the maximum amount that may be allowed by the referee is inadequate compensation for the services rendered and that the attorney for the trustee herein, is entitled to receive for his services as such attorney a sum in excess thereof and is granted permission to apply to the court for such additional compensation as to the court may seem proper.

That this certificate is made in pursuance of Rule 8 of instructions to referees in bankruptcy.
