Sitting in Blum.—{Baton Lard Chid Junk. Cockburn

HOPKINS O. CLAM.

This was a quotient affecting clergymen under the new
Bankruptcy Aot. Therame dated Unit the Ray. Arthur W illiens
Gregory was at the time of the occurrences hereinafter men-
tioned, and is now vicar of the vicarage and parish church
of Corley, in the comity of Warwick, and in the diatom of
the Lord Bishop al Wareenter. On the 29th of October,
1862, judgment wee signed by the new defendant Kenna
the Hey. A. W. Gregory for 9841. 17a. 6d., balance of prin-
cipal and interest due to him. On that day • writ of h.
fa. was ened out and lodged with the sheriff of Warwick.
On the 30th the sheriff made • return to the writ of null&
bona, and that the defendant wan • benelked sleek. On the
rime day • writ of
duly
feriae, directed to the Bishop
of Worcester, was duly lined, and at 38 minutes past nine
on the morning of the 31st, the writ was lodged et the office
of the bishop's reclaim in Worcester. On the let of No-
vember • wed of sequeekstiou duly issued to
I Mr. A. C. Hooper. Oa the 2nd of November,
being Sunday, the sequestration was published by
&Aimee the some on the oriocipal outer door of the
mid parish church of Corley previous to and during divisor
service. On the 31st October the Rev. A. W. Gregory yeti-
' timed for adjudication against himself, end the petition was
filed at 25 minutes pest 12 o'clock of the same day, and the
' plaintiff wee, on the 17th November, appointed creditors
Redoes. On the lithJantuuy, 1863, the plaintiff applied
for a writ of sequestration, which was issued on the 10th
to Mr. A. 0. Hooper, and was published on Sunday, the
18th Jesuitry. The pkeetiff clamed to be addled, as cre-
ditors' emignee of the estate of the Bev. A. W. Gregory, to
the profits of the mid benefice. The quietism was whether
the *wail was so entitled am spinet the defendant.
Mr. Mellish, QC., with whom was Mr. Wilk, said this
raised • question under the late Bankruptcy Act, which
was quite new, end had never before bean adjudicated on le
any court. Prior to the last Bankrupt Act no clergyman
could become a bankrupt, but since the act had removed
the &ideation between traders and nos-traders, • clergy-
man, like others, was liable to be made • bankrupt. The
point raised was with reference to the prate of the living of
a beneficed clergymen obtained under • mooneoctratioe. The
defendant had obtained • judgment, and bed ironed • writ
before the bankruptcy, and he believed the law wee quite
cheer that the validity of • sequestration depende on its
publication. The *sly difference be could find was in • wee
where Mr. Justice Bayley said it dated from the appoint-
ment of • sequedniter. That wee material here. Bat it
was laid down in ell the books of prectiee that it dated from
its publication. The learned counsel then quoted several
oases to show that a sequestration was binding from the
time of its publication.
Mr. Lush, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Field, submitted
that the Alibis of the assignees took priority over those of
creditors though belied after. The rights of assignees
of bankrupt* were just the earns as were those of in.
solvents. mon rights were transferred to the new Bank-
rupt Act, and with them the rules applicable to eockshistired
uoperty. All property real and personal wee vested in an
eolveet's assignee& •nd these rights were lamed
by the
new act.

having been heard in imply,
The Lord Chief Justice maid their judgment must be for
the defendant. Independently of the light that bed been
thrown ca the question by the declines that had take.
plow on corresponding enactments in the Insolvent Acts,
the construction be put on the section in question wee that
the prof& of the living of a bankrupt beneficed clergyman
did not vest in the assignees until they bad bees brought
into the estate by the operation of • sequestration, by
which it wee intended it should be made part of hie estate.
The profits bad here pared to another rider a esquestme-
tion before the ensigns'r bad acquired on, and cone.
quently the profits belonged to him and not to them.
The other learned judges concurred.
Judgment for the defendant.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—JAN. 22.
(Balers Mr. Oommissioser Goaburn.)

13 RR BURL -APPLICATION TO ITRIII • SOLICITOR OTT

THE MOLLS OF THE COURT.

Mr. Aldridge said ha had to apply to court, on the
affidavit of • person mined Thomas Burt, for a rule calling
upon an attorney to show cause why be should not be
struck off the rills of this court. Burt, who was a shoe-
maker, stated that, being is difficulties, sad feeling himself
obliged to petition the court, be had consulted the solicitor,
who speed to present hi petition sod sot as his soli.
citor in the matter throughout upon payment of 81.—Si. at
once, nod the remaining 31. by monthly instalments.
Burt paid the Si. on the 23rd of December, and
OD that day the petition was signed and filed, the
solicitor Millets him that the messenger of the
court would bring him his protection on the following
Saturday. He heard nothing more of the matter until the
2nd of January, when he celled at the solicitor's office. but
was unable to see bun. He wait put off from time to time,
on the pretext that there was "a doubtful point of practice
in his case," which had to be settled between Mr. Demo
(the counsel) and the COM 03///001‘. Having
from Mr. Daley that be knew alibiing of the matter, Burt
made further inquiriease,, sad lessees that though his petition
had been tiled no djudisetios had been made, and that the
statement of affairs which should have been filed within
three days had never been furnished; oomequsetly the
petition was worthless and must be dismissed, and no pro.
section could be given under it.
The Couunissioem —Should you not have some evidence
of that besides the affidavit of the man himself ? One of
your clerks might sseroh the ales of the murk sad then
make affidavit that he had seen the petition, and that no
step had been take's upon it subsequently, that so list of
creditors had hem Sled within the time allowed, end that
the petition was, as you say, nothing more thee waste
Peter. uaderteek that that should be dee'. In
his affidavit, further stated that he had been sued by
creditors, aed had been placed in a position of peat pert,
through sot obtaining protection.
The Cossnimioeiir—la he in prison?

WORSHIP•STREET.
Simon Israel,• young Jew, was charged before Mr. Leigh
with asemilting Leon Zucker.
Complainant, • very gentlemanly person, stated th•t he
was a converted Jew. and an independent minister, mesding
at Clement Villa, Eaglefield-road, South Hackney,; and
that while In Petticoat-lane that morning, holding
conversation with a respectable English Jew, they were
surrounded by a crowd of low fellows who evidently be-
lieved that he was preaching, or desired to do so, and under
that impression reviled and blasphemed in a most awful
manner. Witness assured them that although a converted
Jew he had no intention of holding forth, that he had
been there only once previously, and meant no off ewe, or
forced his opinions upon anyone ; but this apparently owe-
sicced gteater acrimony, in the midst of which defendant
dung a jog of dour at him, the contents falling upon
his clothes and hat as now apparent. Witness wet
to the police-station, and the crowd followed, threatening to
murder him. Defendant was among it, and was taken Into
custody. Mr. Zucker added that he much regretted having
bees the unintentional cause of an angry feeling among the
Jews, and felt uncomfortable at being in a polioe-oourt on
such a matter. He should be satisfied with an apology, or
if the magistrate pleased, the discharge of the defendant
without it. Three other Jews also assaulted him in various
I ways, but not to injure him.
Onset, 34 H, having corroborated the complainant's tee-
Jimmy to the extent of the accused shouting and throwing
at him, the father of the defendant rave a high character
to. his son, whom he believed to be quite incapable of such
en act, but
Mr. Leigh expressing his full sanuanos that the charge
was a just one, ordered defendant to pay a fine of His. and
3a oasts, or fourteen days, limiting the tine to that sum in
consequence of the prosecutor's intercession.
The mosey was instantly paid.
