1Opinion of the Court
KALODNER, District Judge.
The “law’s delays” are strikingly and most unhappily apparent in the case at issue.
Pusey-Maynes-Breish Company, a corporation, was adjudicated bankrupt on August 13, 1936. The referee to whom the matter was referred held ten hearings, drawn out over almost a year, commencing February 8, 1937, and terminating January 24, 1938. The referee then permitted two and one-half years to elapse before making any disposition of the matter. It was not until June 15, 1940, that he made his order. No explanation is apparent for the delay in the referee’s disposition.
