LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(TI•IIS DAY.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
COOK AND OTHERS V. CALDICOI7.

This was an action brought by the assignees of a person
of the name of Downe, who, for a abort time, carried on
business as a warehouseman, in Church-passage, Old
Jewry, to recover several sums of money front the defen-
dant, under the following circum►tances. It appeared
from Mr. CAMPBELL'S statement, that Downes commenced
business in the latter end of the year 1828, and that, be-
fore the expiration of three months, he was Gazetted as
a bankrupt ; previously to which, however, he had pur-
chased in January goods of Messrs. Nicholls and Co. to
the amount of 4081, which he, on the 12th of February,
sold to the defendant for 2721., being a sacrifice of nearly
331 per cent. Subsequently to this, on the 19th of
the same month, lie also sold a considerable quantity of
goods which he bad bought of Mr. Butler, and for
which he agreed to pay really money, at the rate of
48a. Oil. per piece, to tie defendants for 38s. tid. Of
course neither of these debts were psi I, but immediately
afterwards Downe became bankrupt. The Learned Coun-
sel said that the only question was, whether the assignees
were not entitled to recover of the defendants the limns
thus sacrificed by the bankrupt for the benefit of the cre-
ditors severally. He acknowledged that Downe,i himself
would not have been competent to have upset the trans-
action, but the Learned Judge on the Bench had ruled that
the assignees stood in a very different situation, and that
they hsd the right, lie should be able to prove an act of
bankruptcy eommitted previously to the 12th of February,
and having done so, be submitted that he was entitled to
a verdict.

'I he commission was then put in, and the act of bank-
ruptcy proved, as were also the facts of the transactions
in question.
The plaintiff's case had not closed when our reporter left.
