¶1said: “As to question of special allowance to the bankrupts, or any of them, the court perceives no sufficient reason for directing such an allowance. This does not, however, necessarily preclude the allowance of something under this head uy the creditors, of grace, if the bankrupts have rendered extraordinary services, beyond those required in order to make the property, rights, credits, and effects available.”
