In this case the Court of Queen's Beech bad bawd e
mandamus to compel the Great Western Railway Cam
piny to make a certain line of railway, for which the
Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway Company had
originally received powers which it wee alleged were now
vested ;it the Great Western. The line contemplated was
provided for in the second section of the former company's
act, what'll said it was expedient to improve the communi-
cation by a branch from Bradford to Bathampton, where it
would join the Great Western line.
Mr. Butt, on the Dart of the company, contended that
the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench should be pet
arida on the ground that the provisions of the act by which
the company took the powers of the Wilts, Somerset, and
Weymouth Railway Company were permissive and not
obligatory.
The court (without calling on Mr. Crowder, who was on
the other side), held that the act must be construed as
obligatory, and affirmed the judgment.
Judgment affirmed accordingly.

IN VIZ ISATTRa OF SIR HI:OU ZULU, BART.

Mr. Cooke applied to the court, on the part of Mr. Burley,
a solicitor, f aaoln'e•inn, for an order on the provisional
assignee of the court (Mr. Sturgis) to ray over to him all
moneys, unclaimed dividends and otherwise, which he bad
to the credit of this *state. The circumstances were of •

novel character. Sir Hugh Evelyn was committed to prison
in 1826, and did not file hit schedule till 1843. Hiscreditors
had been paid three dividends, amounting to Bs. in the
pound, and there was now s sum in court unclaimed which,
it was submitted, belonged to Mr. Burley. Sir Hugh
Evelyn had been is the receipt of the interest of some
8.6001. in the Three per Cent Consols from a relation named
Evelyn, who made his will in the course of last century.
The Court of Chancery bad declared the will void from re-
moteness of the distribution, and Mr. Barley bad been de-
clared entitled to the principal. The assignee of Sir Hugh
Evelyn, a Mr. Thomas Barton, had been ordered to pay the
balance in his hands into the Court of Chanctry, as Sir
Hugh Evelyn was not entitled to receive the dividends, and
it was now sought to obtain the unclaimed money in this
court for Mr. Barley. The creditors of Sir Hugh Evelyn
before the goal decree in Chancery had been paid (thee,
who had proved their debts) about Bs. in the pound, and
some others had not claimed the dividends which remained
in court.
The Chief Commissioner granted a rule nisi en the provi-
sional assignee for him to show cause why the fund standing
to the credit of this estate should not be paid over to Mr
Burley. Hie Honour thought that the only fund would be
the unclaimed dividends.
Rule nisi accordingly.
