LAW INTELLIGENCE.

TICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT—DEC. 22,
(Before Sir George Turner.)
MONEYPENNY V. BAKER.

Mr. Cairns was further heard on this motion

Mr. Southgate was heard in reply, and insisted on his
tight to the injunction mentioned in our impression of
yesterday.
His Honour said the motion sought to restrain the
defendant Baker from taking any proceedings to compel
the Union Bank of London to pay over to him the sum
of 1,7481. His Honour, after narrating the facts which
Were long and complicated, said the case made by the
plaintiff was that the amount belonged to him, under a
deed dated in 185'0, but the Court ought to be satisfied
that the plaintiff's claim would be in danger if the money
were not stopped. There might be no excuse for the
Don-payment, but the Court• ought not to interpose in
,favour of a party who did not appear himself to have
carried out the provisions of the deed relied on. No
claim had been lodged in time in the Encumbered
Zstates Court when the proceeds claimed had been
realised, nor was the present demand made until January
inst. It was also very doubtful whether the transaction
was wholly valid at law, but he gave no opinion as to
whether the deed relied upon was usurious at law. He
Juust refuse the injunction.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY2—DEC. 2.
Maize M. Commissioner Foublanque.)

IN RE WINCH.

' This was the certificate meeting in the case of Wm.
Winch, described as a licensed victualler and ivory-
(atter, of the Coal-hole Tavern, Strand, and of North-
Wows, Gray's-inn-lane. His accounts extended over 41
7411. v prior to the bankruptcy in July last, and showed
an amount of 2,0311. due to unsecured creditors ; the
assets may realise about 4s. or ss. in the pound. The
profits were stated at 8331. on the ivory business ; 1,1241.
on the tavern business at the Coal-hole ; and 7551. on the
Judge and Jury Club ; the aggregate expenses had been
AO9O/.

Mr. Lawranee, for the assignees, did not oppose. He
'dated that the bankrupt had been for some years in
business as an ivory-cutter ; he subsequently took the
Coal-hole Tavern, paying a large sum for going in, but
it had resulted in a loss. The books had been well kept,
and the bankrupt had done his beat to assist the as-
signees.
His Honour said this case illustrated the evil conse-
4quences of a man quitting his own business for one that
le did not understand. It seemed to be a popular delu-
sion that any one was competent to keep a tavern. He

voluminous nature, the accountants had not been able
