This was an appeal from a decree of tba Muter of the
Rolls, miracles the husband, Mr. Swift, by a perpetual
blowgun, from beterfaing with his ohilsboo. The sipped
was heard by their los-debits in private.
The Lord Justice Knight Brow said that he agreed with
the Master of the Rolla that the deed of separation most
'married fete effect. He agreed olio that more credit
must be gives to the 'wideness ow the part of the wife than
to that on the part of the husband, but the decree went too
far in granting a perpetual injunctioa.
The Lord Jute* 'Turner said that this was a suit by the
wife for se annuity seder a deed of neuritic's', and also to
restrain the husband from interfering with the children in
violation of hie cosecant in that deed. The cause of sepa-
ration was alleged to be the indecent conduct of the hus-
band towards one of his daughters. The husband denied this,
and charged the wife with intamperanos and adultery. The
Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the charge of
proper comlnet to the daughter was established, and that
the charges of intemperances/id adultery were disproved, and
made &decree in favour of the wife. Than was no aufecieet
mrii!or impeaching the sabstamse of that decree, and his
agreed with the Master of the Rolla u to the effect
of the evidence. and that there was no miscooduct on the port
of the wife which would affect the deed. Ash the question
whether it was against public policy to enforce a covenant
by a father not to iota:fere with his children, on facia este.
bWhod as is this or.. the pond would have deprived him
of their custody, and be had, therefore, merely doom by his
revenant what the court would have ordered. The hijune.

variation in the dares was very slight aad formal, and the
husband masa pay the oasts of the appeal.

COURT OF BANIERUFTOY.—MAT IL
(Wore Mr. Commiesioner Holroyd.)
U JONATHAN KATHZWEL
The bankrupt was the welt kw's' cabman who weal
instrnmeutel in obtaining the conviction of Muller, for the
murder of Mr. Briggs on the North Leedom Railway. At
the lan 'Mies a resolution was passed by the requisite
majority of erediton for taking the ease out of court,
under the 110th sec., and the bankrupt now applied for his
order of discharge, in compliant* with the latter claws of
that section.
Mr. Breath (instructed by Mr. Beard) opposed for the
assignese. He stated that of the rewards of 1001. offered for
the discovery of the molder, only 2001. had came into the
heeds of the 'salaries', the bankrupt having put a stop on
the payment of 1001. whit* but been offered by
the North London Railway Company. He now proposed
that the bankrupt's application should be adjourned until he
withdrew the estoppel placed on the 1001. He hoped that
the bankrupt would we the asosesity of allowing all the
mow to be paid into the hands of the trade assignee ; and
as soon as this was done steps would be takes to settle the
matter. Hitherto the bankrupt bad done all in his power
to obstruct his creditor', and the proper course would be to
adjourn the caw Rise die.
The bankrupt craved the attention of the court. He had
been taken out of this country 10 mouths ago* and had ever
saws been out of employment. All these adjournments
were vary bard apes him, and were only got up for the pur-
pose of swelling the wets. The creditors ought to be mu-
tant with the WO/., and let him keep the 1001. now is the
hands of the railway company. He 000sidered that in had
been treated cruelly by Mr. Beard and the German League,
and be hoped that the court would DOW grant his die-

charge.
Mr. Brough asked the bankrupt if be was willing to sign
an authority to the railway company to pay over the mosey
in their hands to the enigma.
The bankrupt declined to do so. but said be would con-
gest to no being placed is the bands of the official assignee.
He had now been eight months out of employment.
Ultimately an adjournment was ordered.

Mr. &snood, for the assignees, asked for au adjourn.
meet of six weeks, to give time for the examination of the
very voluminous said intricate accounts which had been
filed by the bankrupt. Though the ease bad been before
the court Men months, and the bankrupt bad recently bad
the eminence of an accountant, the accounts had only been
filed about a month ' • and the court had since ordered that
the assignees should have the assistance of an accountant in
examining the accounts, sad he was of opinion that six
weeks longer would be necessary for this purpose. The
coconuts embraced not only. the bankrupt's trading trans-
actions, but his dealings in shares, pictures, and other
things. He alleged in his accounts that certain pictures
had cost him 2,0001.; those pictures had sold foe 1701. and
It was said that they were well mold, they not biles
as alleged by the bankrupt, but merely copies.
His Honour, after consulting the official assiauee, said
that, inasmuch as the bankrupt had refused the offer of the
assignees to have his scoot:iota prepared by the acoountant
appointed by them, be could not refuse the application of
the sad/geese for time to examine them.
Mr. E. Reed, for the bankrupt, complained of the animo-
sity shown by the assignee.
