LAW REPORTS.

COURT OF Cll.lNelinr, LINCOLCS•INN HALL, JAN. 12.
P icr Ensu P DI TS.
Th^ Court was occupied nearly the whole day in discussing
Bankrupt Petitious. The mily question of any public interest
was, whether joint creditors can prove their debts against th•
separate estate of a joist debtor 1--A fter hearing Sir Samuel
Romilly and Mr. Cook, the Chancellor observed, that ques-
tions between joint and separate Creditors had been frequently
litigated during the last century, and various opinions and rules
had been obtained. Lord Hardwick thought that.joint creditors
could out prove against the separate estate of a joint debtor :
Lord Thurlowi, however, deeply considered the subject, and
ruled the coutrary opinion. Lord Rosslyn inclined to the for-
suer dictum, and said if there was any thing like a joint fund,
were It only ss. the joint creditors could not prove against the
separate estate of a solvent partner. Such (his Lordship said)
be hail found to he the prevailing rule when he came into office,
and though he might entertain doubts with respect to the prin-
ciple, earrled to its full extent, yet he thought it better to con-
tinue the rule, and decide according to circumstances when the
question should be agitated, rather than to weaken the precedent
by introducing modifications that might ultimately lead to liti-
gation and confusion. In the ease before him, he thought the
joint creditors could not prove under the separate estate of the
joint debtor.
The case of Purcell v. Marnamara, as far as certain excep-
tions taken to the llaster's report are involved, was decided,
and the order made by Lord Erskine and his Honour the Master
of the Rolls confirmed, with some trifling deviation. The case,
in its present stage, embraces no public interest. It is merely a
matter of account.
