In this case a question arose as to the power of an assignee of a bankrupt to commence proceedings under the provisions of the act, without- the consent in writing of the creditors, or a majority of them. His Honour had consulted three of the law judges on the subject, but as the point depended on several conllicting - authorities they could give him at o n ce no very d e - Cided opinion. Ile iherefore requested them 'to look into it when they had an opportunity, • and if they changed the impres sion they then entertained, Which coincided with, his own, they should communicate with him. Not having heard from them, he was at liberty to state their opinion, that the defendant, the debtor to the bankrupt, was not at liberty to take advantage of the objection, and that the suit had been instituted without the licence of the creditors. The debtor was protected by the suit instituted' by the assignees, whatever should be the event of it; and ii it failed, he was exonerated fi-om the debt. The written licence required by the statute was only for the protection of the creditors against the wanton waste of the bankrupt's estate; so that if an assignee thought proper to institute a suit, he un del took it at his own risk, and rendered himself liable, if it was improvidently conducted, • not only to the costs of the suit, but to indemnify the estate against all other expenses. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, GuILDHALL, DEC. 13. GOBLE v. KING AND BAIINETT.—This was an action by the plaintiff, a naval officer, to recover from the defendants, who were formerly navy agents under the firm of Barnett and King, the value of certain Colombian and Peruvian bonds alleged to be deposited with the firm.—Mr. RICHARDS stated the plaintiff's case. The Colombian bonds were bought for the plaintiff, and delivered to him at the time of the purchase by the broker, but the Peruvian bonds were purchased for the plaintiff when he . was in the country, and kept by the defendants. Afterwards the plaintiff, wishing to borrow money, wrote to the defendants in IN ovember, 1828, that he would forward to them the Colom bian bonds, and that they already held his Peruvian bonds. On the 11th of June, 1829, these Colombian bonds were dep os it e d with Barnett by the plaintiff at Portsea for the purpose of ena bling Barnett to attend a meeting of the bondholders, an d a receipt signed by Barnett, for himself - and King, was produced. —Mr. Serjeant COLERIDGE, for the defendant, contended that this receipt was a fabrication, that the bonds were deposited solely with Barnett, who had converted them to his own use; that they had never been deposited with or in the custody of the firm of Barnett and King, as navy agents; and that King had no knowledge of the bonds. '1 he partnership was dissolved in March, 1831, because King thought that Barnett had made away with some of the partnership property, and shortly after wards Barnett failed, and any claims between the plaintiff and Barnett must be settled with the latter gentleman's assignee. It was inconsistent with the business of a navy-agent to deal in foreign bonds, and Barnett hail no power out of the scope of his business to effect his partner King.—Mr. Grant, a stock-broker, and Barnett, were examined, and a long correspondence be tween the plaintiff and King was read, and Mr. lircunitos re plied, after which--Lord LYNDHURST said, the questions for the jury were, whether the deposit of the Columbian bonds on the 11th of June, 1829, with Barnett, at Portsea, was a genu ine transaction, as described in the receipt; and if so, whether the transaction was in the ordinary course of the business of the firm of Barnett and King, for in that case the receipt of . docu ments by one. partner would be a receipt by both; and the sub sequent fradulent conversion of the. bonds by Barnett to his own use would enable the plaintiff to support the action. The de fendant contended that the receipt was collusive and not writ ten at the time it was dated, but at a subsequent period, after the correspondence between the plaintiff and King, in which King denied that he had the bonds, had terminated; and if they thought that a fraud of so atrocious a nature had been com mitted, they would find for the defendant King, but they should not do so on light grounds. With respect to the nature of Bar nett and King's business, it appeared that they had bought and sold Loth English and foreign stock, and also lottery-tickets, on account of the plaintiff, and that the books were kept at the counting-house by King himself. After the dissolution with Barnettt, King denied in his letter to the plaintiff all know legde of the bonds being deposited, and agreed with him that there was something very strange in the affair, and requested an explanation. lone, however, was given until the plaintiff put the affairs in the hands of his attorney, and the defendant inferred that in the interim the receipt was fabricated. As to the Peruvian bonds they were, always in the possession of the firm.- The Jury without hesitation found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, £B4O Bs. being the pr.)ceeds of both kind of bonds. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, GUILDHALL, DEC. 14. (Bcfore Lord Lyndhurst and a Special Jury.) HAROREAvEs AND ANOTHER V. TILE LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY. This was an action by the owners of the ship Thomas, for a total loss on a policy of the ship from Portsmouth to Cork. Messrs. F. Pollock, Creswell, and Maule were for the plain tiffs and Sir J. Searlett, Sergeant Coleridge, and Mr. Richards, for the defendants. _ Mr. F. Pollock stated the plaintiffs' case. The policy was effected on the 3d December, 1830, by Mr. Deane, one or the plaintiffs, at Cork, with Mr. llawkes, the company's agent there.. The Thomas, which was entered in Lloyd's books as I No. 2, signifying a ship of the third class deficient in mate rials, sailed fr,,m the Mother-bank, near Portsmouth, on the 25th November, 1830, laden in ballast with 40 tons of iron and copper, and 120 tons of warn, being ballast similar to that with which she had performed previous voyages. Shortly alter she had sailed there were heavy winds, and for the space of 36 hours the ship endured a storm, which so much damaged her that the crew were unable with the pumps to keep down the water, and the ship'was filling so as to be in a very dangerous state, and it was fortunate for the crew that on the 27th No vember they met the Julius Caesar, which took them on board, but was unable to save the vessel, which was necessarily aban doned, and has not since been heard of. The Captain and several other witnesses fully proved the case. Sir James Scarictt said, that he resisted the plaintiff's claim upon two grounds,—first, there was a suppression of a letter, which amounted to a misrepresentation of the circumstances of the ship at the time of the insurance; and, secondly, the ship was not seaworthy. With respect to the first point, when the plaintiff Deane effected the insurance he stated, in a letter to the company's agent at Cork, that the ship was safe on the 21st of ;\ overalicr, but he omiCcd to state that he had received a let ter, dated the '.i.sth of November, in which there was a charge for the pilotage of the vessel. This was in spirit a very essen tial misrepresentation, for had the agent been aware that the 1 humus had actually sailed on the 'Lath, he would have known that the voyage must have been attended with considerable danger, because, otherwise, the Thomas would, in due course, have arrived on the Ist of December, being two days before the insurance was made. Mr. Deane could not help apprehending the danger, and ought not to have concealed the facts which caused suchl well-grounded apirrehension. Upon the second ground, the Thomas was 429 tons burden, it was raised 6 feet in the middle, and a new deck was formed, which rendered a greater than the usual proportion of ballast necessary for her safety. The usual quamitv is about one-third of the burden, hut for this ship thale should have Leen at least 210 tons. She only drew 11 feet of_wator, hut ought, from her peculiar con sti uction, to have drawn upwardS of 13 feet. 'f he ballast was not only deficient in quaa,s-. but bad - in its kind, for loam ab sorbed the water and impeded the working of the pumps. In a dditi on to this, the ship . was badly provined with every thing, with men. with tord3ge, with tails, and vi - as so deficient in nil that their lights were all exhausted, and they could not in th' night-time use their compass. The ship, too, had been We; perly abandoned on the 27th of November, for s h e was see n 0, 1 . , days afterwards, on the 2d of December, flo a ti ng an d sa fe, the Waterloo. To prove these facts the letters were called for, and produc e4 n and the pilots and some of the crew were examined, an e sailor from the Waterl oo s t a t e d that he saw th e Thom a s on t si i 2d of December; but this witness, on cross-examination, s she was in a dangerous state. Mr. F. POLLOCK, in reply, said that the plaintiffs' collo in opening his defence, had stated that he should rely 0 0 t he points, misrepresentation and unseaworthiness , but that t be latter point had spread-into such a multiplicity ofheads, tha .0g Should have had to expend a considerable time in answeribe them, had not his learned friend himself shown how little h i r relied upon them when he endea voure d t o p rove th a t the was floating and safe on the second of December, a defel: t . totally inconsistent with all th ose var i ous p o i n t s o f unse awart ness on which so much reliance had been placed. 4 .; A Lord LYNDHURST said, the two point s fo r th e con sidera'' ° o f of the jury were, whether there bad been a wilful suppressi,° ° f a material fact, and wheth er th e b a ll as t was su ffi cien t and °the proper kind. If they thought th a t Deane had re ceive letter containing the item for th e pil o t age, b e f ore t h e i n sur." o 4 effected, effect, and that that letter w ou ld ma k e hi m apre he additional danger such as he ought to have communicated , ° r it e they thought that the ballast on board, which was nearly the as former voyages had safely been made with, was insutfiele° t he account of the constructiou of the ship, they would find f° 1 ;,,,,; defendant; but if they were not satisfied on either of t' points, ten their verdict woud be fr th piniff.
