OPINION OP TIESJUDOIII.

Mr. Baron Parks—All her Majesty s judges who have
heard the argument are of opinion that, but for the dui- 1
elan of your lordships' bowie in Upfill's sue, the facts
above stated would not have warranted a verdict that A ia
liable to a creditor in the employment of the
directors for work done necomuy for obtaining managing
parliament.
We consider that UAW@ case decided two points: let,
of law, that similar evidence was such as was At to be
considered by a jury in determining the question of fact,
that be was liable on the ground of having given authority,
and therefore would have warranted a verdict against bin;
2ndly, it decided the question of fact, that Mr. Upill had
given the authority. Upon the former point we consider
your lordships' dairies to be binding upon every inferior
court, and for that reason answer the question in the aMr-
native ; but for that eau we, upon other decisions, should
have been of a contrary opinion.

From the mentesiont et Mr. Cairns, who appeared in sup-
port of the redden, it appeared that about 200 years ago a
Mr. Helm Ante some land in Cambridge, which be vested
In treellme• Se purpose of founding a charity, on which
the spiesleipheme woe built, for the purpose of setting
peer people to work, as well es for the correction of un-
ruly rooms and vagabonds. Four additions have since been
made to the funds of the charity, one by the gift of a piece
of land in Cambridge by the Pepys family ; a second piss,
of land in 1834; a legacy of 2001. bequeathed by a
person named Thompson to the trustees of the charity,
which was laid out ia land, and a legacy of 6001. stock be-
queathed to the trustees by a Mr. Bowtell, the dividend
of which wee &meted to be laid out in the apprenticeship

poise es to the charity baring taken place between the
Down and the authorities of the university, proceed-
ings were takes, sad the matter was referred to
the Meirtes, he whom am it remained a cond.
durable time. At bag* however, a scheme was
whisk the Atlesepaatend approved of, and to which the
11::
semen of the smart was now prayed. This scheme was
to divide the opining-house into two portions, one for the
use etthe town council, and the other for the purposes of
the ueiversity authorities ; to allocate out of the rents of
the elowity, 761. for the payment of Slicer" salaries, and

the ether half of the university , the number of trustees of
the charity to be always Kept up to 12, half to be appointed
by the town council and half by the university.
Mr. James, who appeared for the Attorney-General, and
Mr. Cole for the university, sweated to the scheme.
The Master of the Rolls said it appeared to him to be a
very proper arrangement, and one which would be the
means of putting en end to • long and ezponsthe litigation.

This was an Information Sled originally u to the ma-
nagement of the Tiverton School. A part of the scheme
as settled before the Via-Cheneellor of Becloud, contained
a provision restricting the bead muter from taking
boarders. It wee now proposed to vary the scheme, and to
direct that usual usistant muter, should be appointed to
teach other branches of education, and it wee proposed to
include in the variations a permission to tho unatant mas-
ters to take boarders. There was nothing in the original
scheme at variance with the present proposal.
' Mr. Bally, 11r. Wiley, and Mr. Buller appeared for dif-
Went parties.
Mr. James, for the Attorney-General, consented to the
PrCal.
Vice-Chancellor made the order as palmed.

COURT OF BANIERUPTCY.—IritrxiDAY.

Ix an Lance.
The bankrupt, a coal merchant, of Southampton, applied
for his certificate. His debts were 1,6241. ; assets, NU.
Profits (in eighteen menthe), 241. ; Mesta 1431. ; Made
expenses, 7171. ; domestic and persoaal ditto, 3211.
Mr. Linklater, in support of the application, stated that
no opposition was offered either by the assignees or any cre •
ditor. Up to October last the benkrupt had carried on •
good trade ; sines that time he had suffered a loss of 70e1.
by the non-arrival of certain cargoes which he had ordered.
His Honour said that certain furniture appeared to have
been settled on the bankrupt's wife. He wished to know if
that had been given up.
Mr. Linklater said the creditors acquiesced in its being
retained. The settlement had been made when the bank-
rupt was perfectly solvent, and 601. of the money belonged
to_hia wife.

—HL Honour doubted whether such a settlement would be
good against subsequent creditors.
Mr. Unklater cited the case of " Williams T. Kidney"
(12 Vesey, jun., p. 136).
His Honour mid he should look into the authorities.
llsentiase, he mast hear evidence as to the extraordinary
moral elks.
