Mr. Lane is one of the outstanding members of the New Jersey Bar. He has appeared at several of the hearings in this case and I am satisfied that his services in the New Jersey proceeding must have been important and valuable to all concerned.

He performed other miscellaneous services for the debtor corporation from time to time in this proceeding. In lieu of all prior allowances and claims and for services in this case, including his disbursements, I allow him $5,000.
