Companies. [Ch. 31. No. 1.

demised to a company which is being wound up, nothing herein contained
shall prejudice or affect the right of the landlord of such premises to
claim payment by the company, or the Liquidator, of rent during the
period of the company’s or the Liquidator’s occupation.

82. On any debt or sum certain, payable at a certain time or otherwise
whereon interest is not reserved or agreed for, and which is overdue at the
date of the commencement of the winding up, the creditor may prove for
interest at a rate not exceeding six per centum per annum to that date
from the time when the debt or sum was payable, if the debt or sum
is payable by virtue of a written instrument at a certain time, and if
payable otherwise, then from the time when a demand in writing has
been made, giving notice that interest will be claimed from the date of
the demand until the time of payment.

83. A creditor may prove for a debt not payable at the date of the
winding up order or resolution, as if it were payable presently, and may
receive dividends equally with the other creditors, deducting only
thereout a rebate of interest at the rate of six per centum per annum
computed from the declaration of a dividend to the time when the debt
would have become payable according to the terms on which it was
contracted.

84. In any case in which it appears that there are numerous claims for
wages by workmen and others employed by the company, it shall be
suthcient if one proof for all such claims is made either by a foreman or
by some other person on behalf of all such creditors. Such proof shall
have annexed thereto as forming part thereof, a schedule setting forth
the names of the workmen and others, and the amounts severally due
to them. Any proof made in compliance with this rule shall have the
same effect as if separate proofs had been made by each of the said
workmen and others.

85. Where a creditor seeks to prove in respect of a bill of exchange,
promissory note, or other negotiable instrument or security on which the
company is liable, such bill of exchange, note, instrument, or security
must, subject to any special order of the Court made to the contrary, be
produced to the Official Receiver, Chairman of a meeting or Liquidator,
as the case may be, and be marked by him before the proof can be
admitted either for voting or for any purpose.

86. Where a Liquidator is appointed in a winding up by the Court, all
proofs of debts that have been received by the Official Receiver shall be
handed over to the Liquidator, but the Official Receiver shall first make
a list of such proofs, and take a receipt thereon from the Liquidator
for such proofs. °

Admission and rejection of proofs and preferential claims and appeal to the
Court.

87. (1) Subject to the provisions of the Ordinance, and unless otherwise
ordered by the Court, the Liquidator in any winding up may from time to
time fix a certain day, which shall be not less than fourteen days from the
date of the notice, on or before which the creditors of the company are
