LAW REPORT. COURT OF KiNG's BENCH, FtbitUARY 5. HARDING V. WATKINS. This was a point of Law which arose out of an AwArd inter by Mr. 130 a.a.utt6rt, and Which he did not chine to decide. Mr. Justice. LAW ENCt said, he did nut wish to decicic.in the ab,eoce of Lord ELLENUOROUGU and his brother LE BLANc, any question of law that Mr. liult.ltOtlCH had a difficulty in deciding. Lard ELLENnoßouott and Mr. Justice LE BLANC came ion.) Court, Mr. I Kset Nis opened - the fats of this case, which te tt e these.—A person of the name of Lewis Jon ea, being in want of a. sum of money, prevailed on' - the 1) .feedant, who is an Attorney, to accept a Bill which he should draw on him in his own favour, in order to raise:money on it : and to induce the De. fendent to give him that acceptance, the Defendant trot being his debtor, he agreed to execute an assign. inept to him of the lease of his house by way Of secu. rity, and which was equal in value - to the eminintof the Bill. Jones, on the very day that Ile got this Bill accepted by the Defendant, raised money upon it by indorsing it over to the Plaintiff, who paid him the felt value of it. This Bill was dated in December, 18ot ; and Mr. )ones had committed a secret aa ta haelertiptcy on the sth of October in the same year. The. Plaintiff at the. time he paid. Jones the money on this Bill, did not know he had committed an aft of bankruptcy, or that he _was insolvent : nor did` he know any thing of the agreement between J.eses and the Defendant, when he accepted the Bill. llia friend,, Mr. Gibbs, was Ao contend, that the Assignees might have a claim on this Bill: anti that u Bankrupc having no ,power over. his own estate, ' could not indorse a MU in which he had pro. petty, subsecpteso roan ea of bankruptcy ; 'bet then, how was this power vested in the Assignees . ? :Could they have .any property in thie , Bill .? Certainly not, because they could not have: any property which the feinkrept• himself had not. They represented him, and could not be in a better situation than he was. New, suppose he hid not indorsed: this Bill to the Pi :614K • but bed immediately brought an Aaiun on it'ageinse'ehe Defendant, could he. have recoter ed enit it i No man could recover upon a bill for which he had .paid no value, and which was given hint merely for his accommotietion. if I receive a' Bill from a man to enable me to raise money, and I keep it in my own hands, I never can bring an Aaiun uyon. it. There is no consideration for it. it is a mere nudum peurfur, as between the acceptor and me. It has been decided, that where a person accepts a Bill for the accommodation of another, and then passes that Bill into the hands of a third. per. for a valuable consideration, though that•per. son knows of the accommodation, he may recover on the Bill. The Learned Counsel said, he made these observations, in order to spew the fallacy of the at. gument on the other side, which was, that the pro. petty of this Bill was in the Assignees of• the Bank. rupt. As between the Bankrupt, who was the drawer of this Bill, and the Defendant, it was only a nudum paattm ; the Defendant having received tits consideration for his acceptance ; but the Plaintiff advanCed the • money on it, and from that moment became an indorsee against the Defendant, for .a valuable consideration, and, therefore,' the Plaintiff alone had a property in this Bill. The Assignees could have no property in this Bill, became the Bankrupt had none; and they could not have a better right than the bankrupt whom they represented, and to whose rights they had succeeded. becaMe the Plaintiff's by paying a valuable consideration for it. He did not mean to say, the equitable ground in which his Learned Friend stoud, did not deserve the consideration of the Court. The Defendant says this man is become bankrupt. Had he not become a bankrupt at the time of this transaaion, I should have been indem pifted against my acceptance, because he gave me a lease which his Assignees have called upon me since to deliver up, and therefore I have lost my security. To which the Learned Counsel said he should reply : All this between you and the Bankrupt was un. known to us. We knew nothing of that ; whether you had, •or whether you had not a security. You say to me, if you will lend me 1201. I will pay you on such a 'day. I give it you ; and it turns out that the Bankrupt cannot make a regular indorse. WOOS net the Court consider this as money aid out and expended for the use of the Defendant • If a Trader, from having committed an ai of Bankruptcy, has no right to indorse a Bill, he has no right to draw one. He trusted the whole jus. rice, equity, and law of the case, would turn out to be in favour of the Plaintiff. Mr. GIB Bs, leading Counsel for the Defendant, said it was a hard case on both parties; they were both equally innocent, and he was ready to divide the loss. This was not agreed to on the other side. Mr. MAN LEI- delivered a very able speech on the same side with Mr. Erskine. • Mr. Ginus observed to their Lordships, that the principlc.which had led him to think originally that the Plaintiff could not supprat the present anion, was one, which he had turned over and over again in hit mind,' anti it was this . : Every thing that a Bankrupt possessed at the time of his bankruptcy, or which came to him between his bankruptcy and the obtaining of his certificate, passed to his As signees, except. trust property; andt it was quite impossible to say this Was t ru st propetty. His Learned Friend had stated this case with great fair. ness and:candour. ' L. Jones theliankrupt deposited with the Defendant a lease, worth more than the sum the Defendant accepted for ; and on the credit of which he was induced to accept the Bill At all. Be took that to be precisely the same thing as if the Bankrupt had paid money hats the hands of the Defendant, anti had then drawn a Bill upon him, which he accepted, or ordered him to pay this money. Jones had deposited the lease as a con. sideration for the acceptance. Said the Learned Counsel, I shall suppose he had deposited leo!. with the DAendant, and then draws the Bill on Vin, which he pays. When he had done that, the etre& of his condud would have been this : he would have paid isol. the property of other per. sons ; namely, of the Assignees to the Defendant, and he would have given an order to the Plaintiff to receive that property from the Defendant. Now, it was clear he could have had no authority to place this money with the Mfendant, becanseit was not his money, but the property of the Assignees. Nor could he have any authority to•make over that money to a third person. And here was the lat. lacy of the argument used by his Learned Friends - on the other side, the ability of the Bankrupt, :when . he becomes a Bankrupt, to draw a Bill . of EKchange. He may make himself liable, giving- it,to a third person. If he does, he will be personally liable to that third person for the amount of it, and may be sued as the Drawer, perhaps, because the person on whom he draws the Bill, if he has any money of ' the Bankrupt's in his hands, is justified in refusing to pay, because that is not his money, but the money of his Assignees. So in this case, I do not say that an ation may not be supported against L. Jones, but I say, L. Jones having drawn on the 'Defendant in consideration of property apparently deposited with him, but which property adually belonged to L. Jones's Assignees, neither by draw ing this Bill, nor by indorsing it, did the Bankrupt pass a title to the person (the Plaintiff) to wham he indorsed it. My Learned Friend says, the Assignees never could have brought an Adion on that accept ance. I deny it. They might have brought an Ad ion if they had not chosen to take the lease, It has been said, no Action could have been maintained against the Defendant, because no consideration bpssed. But here is - a consideration that passed etween the Bankrupt and the Defendant, by de. livering the lease into the hands of the acceptor. The acceptor then would have been answerable to lain for this Bill. It would be extremely bard in. deed, if, after the Defendant has been stripped of 'this deposit by the Assignees, if the Bankrupt were permitted to say, I have nothing to do with this Bill, and yet, for the ' purpose 'of fining the Dc. fendant, dant, the Bankrupt is supposed to have such a property in it, as -to be able to convey it to an in. dorsee. The. Defendant, in . this case, is nut a mere voluntary acceptor for the accommodation of L. Jones, but hi is an acceptor for a valuable consi. , deration deposited with hits. The Bitikrtipt had no right to deposit that lease with him ; and if he had no right to do that, he had no right to draw th a t fund out of his hands. I will put the case : L. Jones has committed a secret ad of Bankiuptcy, and after that pays rsol. into the hands of the De. fendant, and he gives a draft on that Defendant' to the Plaintiff for this .Isol. as against the Defendant, that draft, by the Bankrupt, is• a good order-to pay out that 1501. ' But though he is obliged to obey this order,,must he yet pay the money again to the Assig. !tees of the Bankrupt, because between the Assig. nees of the Bankrupt and him, this was a bad or. der That would be a monstrous proposition indeed, and inconsistent with *every principle of justice. I think the offer I have made my Leirned Friend a very fair one ; but Ida not press him to accept it. He is entitled, undoubtedly, to stand upon his legal rights. These arguments were ably supported by Mt: LAW es, on the same side, tvho, in the course of his argument, cited Cowper's Rep. 569, and Esp._6 t. Lind ELL EtqISOROUGH said, as this was a case on which considerable doubts had been entertained, and by persona of great respedability, they would look into it befoie they decided it, though he could not impress on his own mind any doubt at all. EDINBURGII, MARCH 3. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. MONDAY, came on before the Court, the trial of Robert Wilsom, lately residing in Rose -street, accused of the murder of Janet Moodie, his wife, on Thurs day the 27th of January, last. The Prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. No objet ion was made to the rele. vancy of the libel. I. appeared from the proof, - that on the night libelled, a little after ten o'clock, the cry of murder was repeatedly heard in the tenement where Wilson resided, which alarmed the neighbours, and some of the Witnesses proved it came froM the Pannel's house. A number of people assembled in the vas. sage, chiefly women, but none o f t h e m went int o the house. A Gentleman. who resided in the house as a lodger,. came home before eleven.o'clock, but saw nothing remarkable, and the Pannel dressed his supper before he went to bed.' " Next morning, be.. tween seven and eight o'clock, Wilson knocked up his next neighbour, saying his wife was dead. The neighbour rose, and found IVlrs. Wilson dead and quite sail'. 'She got the assistance of some other women, and the corpse was dressed.. While this was doing, some marks of violence were observed about Mrs. Wilson's face and neck, which were more visible next day. One of the persons asked the Pannel when Mrs. Wilson died ? He said he did not know. Was it before or after the cries of murder were heard? He answered, there were no cries in his house. Two Witnesses, one of whom livetlyabove, and the other below the . Pannel, swore they heard a noise in the Pannel's house during the night, as if ranging the fire. . The Pannel did not call up his lndger till nine o'clock, when he inforMed him. his wife svas dead. When .this Gentleman left his lodgings at ten o'clock, lie was met by several people, who. wished him to make some investigation into the affair but this he declined,. as Wilton had wrote for his .wife's brother to. come up from Leith, who came that . night; and, on account of the clamour raised about his sister having died . a violent death; called on the -Sheriff; and .was desired to return next morning. He mentioned this circumstance torWil. son, who said he was willing to go to the Sheriff, and accordingly next morning be went in company with Moodse and two other men, first to Mr. Clerk, who was confined by indisposition, then to Mr. Davidson, to whom Wilson said he wished that Surgeons should inspect his wife's corpse, on account of the clamour of the neighbours. Mr.. Davidson referred him to, Mr. Score anti Surgeons were accordingly sent on the Sur.day, who:inspetaed the body, and gave in a rept•rt, from which it geared,fip that from the marks on different parts of the bJdy, and from the state of the lungs, she had died a violent death, by strangulation ; and to this report the two Surgeons (Dr. Farquharson and Mr. Bryce) swore. Wilson was not taken up till the Saturday afternoon. It also appeared from the evidence, that Mrs. Wilson was a weakly woman,. often complaining, and very frequently bed-,That her husband and she lived happily together, till lately, when she thought . he paid, too much. attention to another woman who lived on the sam e fl oor . - Thi s s h e comma . nicated to her lodger and a woman her neigh. hour, which last swore, that Mrs. Wilson informed her, that between that and Martinmas last her husband had mtice attempted to administer poison to her, first in a glass of toddy, and then in some water gruel. For the Prisoner, it was proved, that he was always respetted by his neighbours, and was a per son of an honest charader,' and decent in his be. haviour—That, after he was accused by the neigh. bouri, he did not abscond; on the contrary, he took every means in his power to get the matter investigated, and went for that purpose to the Sheriff, Dr. Monro was called for the Pannel as to the report of the Surgeons, from whom he differed in several particulars, respecting the cause of Mrs. WilsOn's death. The .evidence was closed on both sides a little after seven o'clock, w h en t h e 'LORD ADVOCATE for the CroWn, and Mr. CAittnELL for the Pannel, severally addressed the Jury in very able speeches. Coe Loan JUSTICE CLERK summed up the whole in his usual candid manner. At eleven o'clock the Jury. were incloied, and on Tuesday at two o'clock returned a verdid, fin'dini by .a plurality of voices the libel Not Proven; on which the Pannel was clitmisied frOm the Bar. ....111•00.11•1.....•••••••1 4Am;DoN r• Priatect by BUCKANAN M'IWILLAN, ( orno*.Street, F.'ovent-Gartkz); ins! 11,171441 by ti.ti AM At itid'ax:.ScalPl , 4, (of South Mulzon-strect, At L li C 5t: 14 14441C No , 11 Stand where Adverhuments, thden tor the Paler, Later, for the Editor, dec, ( i tottlaid); Luttit be aticiteaeti. dtOsvenor-squatt9 SHIP NE/f S.
