Sittings after Term, before Mr. Justice AnitoTT and Special Juries. TAPP v. CURTIS. Mr. MARRTATT staled, that this was an issue sent for trial from the Vice-Chancellor's Court. In the year 1816, a contract was executed between Meters. Crowther and Tapp, coach-makers, and Mr. Crowell, • gentleman of fortune, by which the former party engaged to build and hire a landau and harness to the latter for five year., and to keep it in replete, excepting accidents and violence, in consideration of 11. e suns of ninety guineas, to be paid in advance on the 27th May of each year of the above. About the time that Crowther and Tipp entered into partnership, January, 1815, the Plain tiff, Thomas Tapp, advanced to Charles Toms, one of the partners, the sum of 405/. being his ninth part of the property of his father, who had, a short time before, died intestate. The advance was made through the intervention of James Tapp, their eldest brother. The hitter repeatedly !tressed Charles to give some security to Thomas, the Plain tiff, for the sum advanced, and, oil the 14th Octo ber, 1816, he and Isis partner. Crowther, execoted a deed of assignment to Mr. Ilixon, their solicitor, for the benefit of Thomas Tapp, of the contract between them and Mr. Crowell. They had at that period. and for some time previous, been involved in pecuniary difficulties, in consequence of disappoint mein in expected remittances from St. Domingo. ■nd a commission of bankruptcy issued against them early in the following J111111.Ify • The Solici tor gave Mr. Criswell no notice of the assignment till the 27th of December, and never gave any notice of it to Thomas Tapp, for 'dime benefit it was made. Mr. Crowell filed a bill iii equity. in order to discover whether he was to pay the yearly stun to which he was humid by his contract, to Thomas Tapp, for whose use the deed of assign. meta of the contract was made, or to the assignees of the Bankrupts, and the case was sent by the Vice-Chancellor to a Jury, to determine whether the assignment was a voluntary, fair. and equitable tranaactioii, that ought to stand, or entered into at the instigation of others, or douse in expectation of bankruptcy, with a fraudulent intention of pay ing one creditor 20s. iu the pound, at the expense and to the injury of the rest. Mr. Rixoti, Solicitor, exaeined by Mr. PuLLER. Was employed to prepare the deed of assignment by Mr. James Tapp. in the end of August. 1816; the draft was made September 20th. the deed en grossed the it6th, and executed October 14th. Cross-examined by Mr. 58,481.1r17. Is solicitor to the commission of bankruptcy against Messrs. Crowther and Tapp. Thr commis sion issued against them iii the beginning of 1817; was apprised of the state of their affairs by the bank ruptcy of Crowther's father. in Oct. 1816. Went to Mr. Haslop to receive money iii his hands of Crowther the elder, towards Sept. 1816. Knew at the time of an extent from the Crown against Has lop, for the property he held of Crowther's. Did not learn till the end of December 1816 that the solvency of Crowther and Tapp depended on their getting the money from Haslop. lied the assign ment in his hands all the intermediate time, but slid not give Mr. Crowell notice of it till the 27th December. The docket was struck some days be fore the gth of January. %%lien he sent the notice, it was the belief of his own mind that Crowther and Tapp would be made bankrupts. Can assign no reams why he delayed the notice till that belief was produced. Never gave Thomas Tapp, the Plaintiff', notice of the assignment made for his hes netit. Made the charge on the business in his books to the mortgagor. Thomas Tapp. Can't re collect who paid him. Believes Crowther and Tapp had never till lately ally communication with Thomas Tapp on the subject of the assignment. Ecamined by Mr. Ma aatATT. Crowther and Tapp 1)84 in the course of four or five months received four or five thousand pounds from Mr. Haslop ; and lop the '2 1 t December he had hopis they would receive the balance remain ing in his haoas. Mi , iv securities were offered to indemnify Mr. flaslop from any loss by paying the y—one of them. James Tapp, was willing to bind himself to the amount of sixteen hundred pounds. James Tapp, examined by Mr. 111Altat Arr. 14 the elder brother of Thomas and Charles Tapp ; their father died intestate, leaving real properly, which he (witness) agreeably to whet he knew to be his intentions, shared etphilly with all his children; advanced Thomas's owe, 405/. to Charies t about the lot January, 1815; spoke repeatedly to the latter On the necessity of A iring scribe security to Thomas..

Mr. SCARI.II r now tiehlresded the Jury On be.. half of the I)efenelan.. He contended that t!te rewigoistriat of the contract was invalid, as it was 1111 aooigiiment by two !writes out of their joint terse perty to satisfy the debt of one of them. But iii addition to this, its first dele..t, it would appear, from the whiteouts he 31 Id produce, I hit when the negotiation to obtaiis the cool' in Fla-lop'. !bolds had failed, sod the parties Iwgaii to Apprehend a bankruptcy was inevitable, the'', and not till then, was the scheme of the assigninent resolved tipon ; being intended to he in the solicitor's hands, and never come into light or operation if the b m ,k. rtiptcy could be avoided, but to he kept iii red...eve, and, in case of a bankruptcy, be produced awl made effectual; and if that were so, it wouldmili cute a fraudulent intimtion to give one creditor a preference to others on the eve of a bankruptcy ; it would be a fraud against the Bankrupt Lawe, coil vitiate the whole proceeding. Mr. Crowell wire then called on the part of the Defendant, taut did tot appriir. Mr. flaidop, ex/he/aid by Mr. COW,N.

Cross-examined by Mr. 51AaarArt.. There was a negociation by.the creditors to pro. core 1,600/. or 1,700/. of the foods from the She riff, in which, at their solicitation, lie interfered. There was ■ letter brought to hint by Crowther and Tapp, from Crowther, fell., requesting him to pay the proceeds of the consignment to the Wm.

Milieu he entered into the part nership, lie did not know of the loan of the 405/. By the Junin—lle rather thinks lie told Nlr. Rixon not to notice Crowell of the assignment, but to receive the money himself and hand it over to their house. Wtn. Goodwin, examined by 111,. COMYN. Is father-in-law to Charles Tapp; the house of Crowther and Tapp was indebted to him in the sum of 3051. in October 1816; on the 71s of that month received a •arrant of attorney as seturily, put it in execution on the 24th December; might have received a hint to do so from Crowther °amyl), but is not sure lie did. Mr. Rixon re-examined by Mr. MARIttATT. Both Crowther and Tapp were pre►ent at the execution of the deed of assignment ; heard nothing said shout not giving notice to Mr. Crowell ; if lie had, would have thought it his duty to object to it. Chinks Tapp corroborated the last witness's less timony. Mess►s. SCARLEtT and MARRTATT addressed the Jury on behalf of their respective clients.
