EQUITY COURTS.-MAY 31.
(Before the Lord ClLDOtakt.)
II HZ TIC BIWA 00AL COItEIIIT. _

This was an a motion which came on on Wednesday
last before the Lords Justices from an order made by the
Master of the Rolls in the matter of the winding-up of the
above company. On the appeal being opened by Mr. J. N. ;
Higgins as counsel for the appellant, Mr. De
Gas, foe the official liquidator, objected that
the notice of appeal was served more than three
weeks slier the order was made, which was against
the provisions of the Winding-op Act, 1849, which
governs appeals, although the winding-up in the
present ease took place under the Winding-up Acta '
of 1866, 1867, and 1868. After a lengthened argu-
ment the matter resolved itself into the point, when
an order of the Court at Chancery qu ' made."
The appellant contended that an order IS not Made for the
purpose of an appeal within the SWUM in question until it
and entered" at the registrar's office. It was con-
tended,however, on the other side, that an order is " mode"
when it is " pronounced "by the judge. The Lads Juetioell
differed in opinion on the point, and it being one of impor-
tance in the practice of the court, they desired the senior
regions, to submit the question to the Lord Chancellor for
his lordship's decision.
The matter accordingly cams on this morning, and was
=by Mr. Selwyn, with whom was Mr. De Oes, for the
liquidator, who relied very much on the uniform
prietice at the registrar's-once of always dating decrees and
orders an of the date when pronounced, although they were
not passed or entered or even drawn up for a considerable
time afterwards.
Mr. Chase sad Mr. J. N. Higgins, for the appellant, con-
tended that for the purposes of appeal an order was not
" made" until it was paned and entered, Manuel as fre-
quently an appellant could not know the terms of the order
from which he appealed until he saw it in due form. Other-
wise it might happen that an appeal was proceeding at the
lame time that the cause wu before the judge whose order
was appealed from, upon minutes discus/wig what the order
really was.
The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that for the sake doer-
tainty, which was convenience, it was necessary thattheorder
should always be treated as being " made " for the li
of appeal upon the day when it was pronounced. APstC:
was nothing to compel the pieties to pass the order within
a particular time, any other rule would produce great un-
certainty in proceedings. The notice of appeal required by
the practiced the court was not rsquired to be of a very
formal character, and he refrained in this case from miter-
ing on the question whether notice alleged to be given in
this case pnor to the formal notice was sufficient
The ease was then remitted to the Lords Justices, with
this intimation of his lordship's opinion.
