Chief, who had spoke° in high terms of the brigade, and
volunteered to inspect them on say day they might
fix for that purpose. He hoped to see the men

mination to enforce the payment of their subscriptions by

Lions. (Cheers.)

EQIJITIr COURTS.—MAY 28.
(Before the lord CRADOADIR.)
NORM V. CARMAN.
This was an appeal from VicerChancellor Stuart. The
case was argued in April last. and judgment postponed.
The question involved in the suit is one of oeusiderable im-
portance relating to the mode of conducting businees on
CtanStale
Stock Exchange. The plaintiff, on the 19th of July,
1860, purchased on the Stook Exchange 150 shares in the
Thames and Mersey Marine Insurance Company from a
stockbroker, and paid him 4211. 17s. 6d. for the same on
that day. The shares so purchased for the plaintiff be-
looged to Mr. Daunt, who had employed the above stock-
broker to sell them for him, and the stockbroker, on ready-
ing from the plaintiff the purchase money, according to the
custom of the Stock Exchange, handed to the plaintiff three
transfers for 50 shares each in the above company, executed
by Daunt, with blanks for the name of the transferee and
for the date. On the same day, and before the completion
of the purchase, the certificates bad been, as appeared by
a memorandum made on the treaders, taken by Daunt 's
brother to the company's office, and a memorandum was
made in the company's books that the shares had been sold
by Daunt, the then bolder of them, and the aasiatent secre-
tary of the company wrote in the margin of each transfer
a memorandum to the effect that this esitificates for the
shares had been deposited at the office ilithe company. On
the 30th of July, 1860, Daunt was adjudged bankrupt, and
the defendants were his assignees. The plaintiff, before he
was aware of Daunt's bankruptcy, sold a portion of the
shares on the Stock Exchange, and, having oscasion to pro-
cure the registration of the shares, he on the 15th of August,
1860, filled up one of the transfers with his own awe, and
the other two transfers with the names of two other per-
eons. Two of the transfers were dated on the 15th of
August, and the third on the 16th of August, 1860. Upon
presenting the transfers, however, at the office of the com-
pany for registration, the company refused to allow the
same to be registered, on the grouod of their bearing date
subsequently to the bankruptcy (of which fact the plaintiff
was then for the first time informed), mikes the assignees
of Daunt concurred in such transfer. Considerable corm
epondenre then took place between the plaintiff's advisers
and the assignees, which resulted in the latter declining to
concur in the proposed trausfnr, because they considered
that the shares were in the order and disposition of the
bankrupt at the time of his bankruptcy, with the consent
of the true owner, within the meaning of the Bankrupt Law
Consolidation Act, 1849. This bill was then filed, praying
that the court would declare the shares in question not to
le within the order sod disposition of the bankrupt, and
that his assignees might be ordered to concur in executing
to the plaintiff a treader of the shares, and do all acts for
the purpose of procuring his being registered by the com-
pany as the owner of them. The Vice-Chancellor,
in his judgment, said that although there was a
contract for the sale of the shares to the plain-
tiff by Daunt on the 19th of July, the way in which
the plaintiff dealt with his purchase seemed to him (the
Vice Chancellor) to have been designedly with the intention
of letting the then present owuerihip of the shares, and the
order and disposition of them, remain exactly as they were
until he should be able to sell them to some other persons.
His Honour went on to say that the plaintiff only acquired
that sort of right which appeared to be usual on the Stock
Exchange to acquire namely, to pay his money, and (in the
opinion of his Honour) to leave the shares in the order and
disposition of the bankrupt, and therefore he dismissed the
bill with costa. From this decision the plaintiff appealed.
The Lord Chancellor now delivered judgment, and stated
that in his opinion on the evidence there was no proof that
Daunt was the apparent owner of the shares ; that there
was no proof that he was the reputed owner of the shares,
and he was of opinion that the shares did not remain in the
order and disposition of Ihtuut. He must therefore come
to an opposite conclusion to that of the Vice-Chancellor,
reverse the decree, making• an order in the terms of the
prayer of the hill, and granting costs against the assignees.
NOROLIPTI o. WARBURTON.
This was also an appeal from Vice-Chancellor Stuart, and
was argued last term. The question, which arose out of another
suit, was a technical one ; and the Lord Chancellor, differ-
ing from the court below, held that there had been no sale
of the estate in question " pendente lite," that no lien was
created on the lands, and that there had been no fraudu-
lent transfer of the estate.
The decree of the court below was therefore reversed,
with costa.

MARLOW V. ORGILL.
This appeal from Viee-Chanoellor tituart stood over for
judgment. The question involved was one of fact, and
willed on the point whether the sale of certain property
was fraudulent or not.
The Lord Chancellor concurred in all points with the
court below, and affirmed the decree of the Vice-Chancellor.

CHAPLIN V. TOUNG.
In this case a suit bad been instituted by the representa-
tives of the late Alderman Harmer, to obtain possession
from Mr. Murdo Young of the Sea newspaper, under •
mortgage. The plaintiff in the suit had been appointed
receiver and manager of the paper until the bearing of the
cause. On • former occasion when the case came on for
argument, it was found that certain persons had not been
made parties to the suit, and the matter stood over for the
of remedying the defect in the proceedings.
PW.lake Russell, for the plaintiff, now stated that all
the parties concerned were now before the court, and asked
for a day to be fixed for the hearing.
The Lmd Chancellor said that be desired to give the
parties as long • time as possible before the hearing in the
hope that they might come to a better understanding with
one another. He, however, eventually appointed the first
day on which he should sit after the present term.

(Before the Muter of the Rolls.)
TOPIIAII V. HART6HORNIL
In this case, in which the court had the assistance of a
special jury, the question was as to the validity of a patent
taken out by the plaintiff. The object of the patent was to
produce a peculiar deacriptiou of imitation lace, and that
not by new machinery, but by applying a certain number of
threads to produce a pressure upou a hole in the fabric, and
thereby, by inducing various species of irregularity in the
shape of the holes, to bring the manufactured article nearer
to hand lace. The use was opened on Monday morning, and
the examination of witnesses on both sides occupied the
court till this evening.
Hie Honour then summed up very carefully, leaving
three points to the jury ; first, whether the invention
patented was new ; secondly, if new, whether it was suffi-
ciently described in the specification ; and, thirdly, whether
there hail been an infringement by the defendant.
The jury, without leaving the court, returned a verdict
for the plaintiff on all the issues.
Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., Mr. Fooks, and
Mr. Aston were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Follett, Q.C.,
Mr. Grove, QT., Mr. Rindouirsh, and Mr. Osborne
were for the defendant.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.—MAY 28.
BITTIIIOB IN ERROR.
Lord Chief Baron Pollock said the court would sit in
error in eases from the Court of Queen's Bench on the 18th
and l'Jth June ; Common Pleas, the 20th and 21st
June a

The court, however, would sit should the business of the
respective courts not be completed on those days from day
to day until it was completed.
COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
3i.r.r 28.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
THORNCROFT AND CLARK V. LAMINAR.
Dr. Phillimore. Q.C., and Dr. Wainbey, appeared for the
plaiutiffs ; Dr. Middleton and Mr. Fitzhugh for the de-
fendant.
The testator was Mr. Samuel Weller, late of Selby-villa,
near Brighton. He possessed • good deal of house pro-
perty in that town, and had • large number of weekly
tenants. He left some grandchildren, and an only daughter,
the wits of the defendant. By • will and codicil pro-
pounded by the executors (the plaintiffs), the testator be-
queathed legacies to hie descendants, and gave the residue
to his daughter for her own and separate use. Her husband
was employed by the testator to collect his rents, for which
he received • salary of three guineas a week ; and
he propounded a paper executed in the presence
of two witnesses, and containing the following words ;
"To Mr. George Lashmar-1 hereby offer you the situation
of collector and overseer of my property at a salary of
3f. 3s. per week, with house rent to the amount of Tit. per
year, with all rates and taxes clear ; and 1 hereby further
wish that the said George Lashmar may continue in the
aforesaid office at the aforesaid salary, and with the same
salary after my decease."
Dr. Philliniore denied that the testator had bad the in-
tent of executing a testamentary paper.
The court reserved its decision.
BUTLER V. WOODHEAD.
Mr. O'Mallev, Q.C., and Dr. Bwabey appeared for the
plaintiff ; Dr. gpiuks and Mr. Searle for the defendant.
The defendant, Daniel Butler, • farmer at Marlpool,
in Derbyshire, died in the year 1&58, leaving • will to
which the defendant was appointed executor. The instru-
ment was a very illiterate and confused document ; and
after probate had been taken out in common form, an
agreement was entered into between the plaintiff (Win.
Butler), his three brothers, and the exeoutor, by p
laintiff, o
which dm property was sold and distributed. The p
however, having received his share, had called in the
probate, and be now alleged that the document was not the
will of his deceased brother, that it had not been duly
executed, and that his brother was not of testamentary

capacity.
Mr. O'Malley, having croarezamined the defendant (who
bwl drawn the will) And one of the attesting "Atomises,
admitted that he could not further contest the case in favour
of the instrument.
The Court pronounced for the will, and condemned the
plaintiff in the costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—MAT 28.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goalbani.)
in an COOK AND GREENWOOD.
The bankmpta were wive merchants of Mark-lane. This

bankruptcy having taken place 12 months ago. The aertill-
eate sitting was origirmaly appointed fur January last, but
bee been adjourned from time to time to await the result of
some legal proceedings which had been instituted by the
assignees. Upon debts proved of 14,8521. • dividend of
la. 6d. in the pound has been paid, and it is stated that the
limaiita will probably yield another dividend of 2d. The ofli.

_which bad ex-
tended over two years and four months, had resulted very
diesstroudy. On return of 122,751/. there bad been loans
of 5,4931., and the bankrupts had drawn oat 3,4571.
Mr. Hollams appeared for the aseigases ; Mr. Sergood and
Mr. Linklater for opposing creditors ; Mr. Lawrence cep-
peered for Cook ; and Mr. C. E. Lewis for Greenwood.

Mr. C. E. Lewis said that Greenwood had not been beak-
rapt before.
James Cook, one of the bankrupt.. examined by Mr.
Linidater, stated that their trading had been nannies& i
from the first. They lost several hundred pounds by a bed
debt in the first mix months. He kid been accustomed b
the wine trade all his life. Had been bankrupt in 1857 as
a boarding•house keeper in Qin...street. The bankrupt
was further examined at great length as to goods which they
bad ordered from Yarn. Monkey and Co. and Messrs.
Ballot and Co. very shortly before their failure, inquiry
having been made as to their solvency. Having obtained
the warrants for those goods, they bad pledged them with
other creditor. Greeewood was also examined, and several
of the opposing creditors.
The case was not concluded at the rising of the court.
His Honour, in the course of the proceedings, twice or
thrice expressed the opinion that the bankrupts had been
kept sufficiently long without their certificate.
