JUDGMENT. !Litmus its the lowlier of HAWKE., a Battkrapt. The Lotto CtisNcet.Lmt observed, that Ibis case came before bun on • petition by way of an appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice- Chancellor. From the proceedings it appeared, that the bankrupt had brought his action against the Commissioners, to recover damages for his good• having been seised noder a warrant issued by them against Thomas Carey Muskeg, altercate his name a.. Thomas Corey Hawke-, in which action hr failed, and very properly en, for the Commis sioners' warrant to the messenger, directing h:m to s e ts • the giunts of Thomas Carey Ilswkes, dill not aildirir,is him to seize the go a ds of Thomas Corey 111.iwki-s. Ile bud also brought an action against the .messeincer, and recovered 5/. damages, by which dirt person bad .considerable costs to pay. It IL•gist he useful for him litre to give his opi nion as to the liability of Commissioners in issu ing commissions; for instance, if the bankrupt's tonne, as iv this case, was inserted wrong in the war raot, they are nut liable, if it should be ultimately prustli that there was no trailing, no petitioning creditor's debt, or no act of bankruptcy committed they would not be liable, for they are obliged to go by what is sworn before them. This was his view of their liability, and if it was not the law on the subject, it war high time that the law should be al.ered to make it so. It was clesr to him in this case, that there was a sufficient petitioning creditor's debt, and a sufficient trading, but it was doubtful whether there was an act of bank ruptcy committed, as there was only one witness to support it, sod his evidence only went to what passed at an inn iu Exeter after the bankrupt load got out of a stage coach. His Honour directed au issue to try the validity of that act of bankruptcy, which was the proper mode of deciding it. As to what had been thrown out at the bar that this was not the commission of the petitioning creditor, bit 1 hat of another person, he could not are any thi n • . iii the proceedings that would warrant him tit cotniisg to that conclusion. He was, therefore, or opinion. that the issue directed by the Vice-Chan cellor was the proper out, and he confirmed his de cisin —Petition of appeal dismissed.

The circumstances of this case lie in u very nor ram muttons, although► the arguments cf Counsel occupied the Court nearly two dais. It appeared that in the year 1554 A Idyllist, Judd. a member of the Skiuners' C pony, obtained letters patent flou► King Edward VI. to tatablish a fire school at Tunbr►dge, its the county of Kent, by which I-tiers patent he was made a- corporate body dosing his life, and the Skinners C.•mpsny a corporate body, ■s governors of the school after his death. By his will be be cirteallted to the Defendants certain lands iu Gracecliurch street, London, and in the mall village of Pancras, of the value of 40/. a year, for the following pur poses, viz.-201. per annum to be paA to a school- , 'mister, and 8/. as a salary for ail usher, and the remainder of the 401. - to be expesided iu k-epiteg the school-house, &v. in rrivir. The will wars proved in the year 1558, and the lands were con veyed to the Defectlassis by a person of the teame of Fisher, a servant of the Testator's; ■wl although they were at that• period only worth 40/. per they are now of the annual value of 4.0001. and upwards. The Slo'l'l4ll'6' Company hurl obtained two Acts of Parliament for the purpose of 'coif% this property en them ; one in tier 14th. sited the other in the 31st of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The relators by their infarmation contended, list the whole proceeds of tier lands ought to go for the benefit of tier charity, which ba.l been the intention of the Donor. The Defetirlauts contended, that the weeping of the will of the Testator was, that the Skinners' Company should have the bentfit of the rents of the laud►, after deductiog the 40/. for the support of the school. His HOISOUr the Viclt-Cti•Nceta.oo this day gave his judgment in favour of tier relators. lle ohtw►e td that the lauds were obviously given to the Skits- Company, toot as a company, but as a corpo rate body, as governors for the whoosh They there fore had no right to apply the charity fund to their own benefit.
