Where part of the claim falls within one heading of sub-rule (1) and part falls within another, the value of each part shall be calculated according to sub-rule (1) and the value assets are not sufficient to pay preferential creditors in full shall be reckoned as the amount of the dividend the plaintiff is estimated to receive if he succeeded in this claim. 5.
