and Martin.)

MACDONALD V. HOLLISTER.
Mr. Pautin moved for an attachment of a legacy an.
der the Common Law Procedure Act 1854.7:The tega,;.-.
the learned coufisel said, was for 501., and the exeout,,r
were ready and willing, and, in fact, had promisedt3 it over. He put it to the Court whether; under -
circumstances, an action would not be ?
The Court was of opinion that the executors must
►
bound by their promise ; and, besides, a legacy could not
be attached. The application must therefore be refused.
Refused accordingly.

BAIL COURT.
(Before Mr. Jiistice Wightman.)
IN RE AN ATTORNEY.
Mr. IVlaeristy moved for a rule calling on an attorney
of the Court to show cause why his name should not be
struck off the rolls. The application was made on be-
half of a person named Dodd, tenant to a Mr. Lamb.
On the Ist of May he received an application from his
landlord's solicitors for compensation or an alleged
damage on the farm, on which he went and consulted
the attorney in question, paying him 10s.e o'c his advice.
The attorney advised him to raise 201., britvg it to him,
and authorise him to compromise the matter for a sum
not exceeding that amount. Dodd obtained the money,
handed it over to the attorney. and shortly after called
on him to know the result, when the attorney informed
him he had compromised it by the payment of 171., and
that he was to call in a day or two, by which time he
would have the receipt signed by the landlord.
and hand it over to him. He accordingly called,
but was put off with an excuse on that and sub-
sequent occasions. Ho afterwards called on
on the landlord's attorneys and found' nothing had been
paid. The attorney in question bad been called on to
explain his conduct, which had been unsatisfactory.
Mr. Justice Wightman thought it *ould be better, in
the present instance, for a rule to issue calling on the
attorney to explain why he had not paid the.money, and
answer the question in the affidavits.
Rule issued accordingly.
