IN RE NASH EXPARTE GURNEY.—JUDGMENT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, which came before his Lordship upon appeal, from
the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, refus-
ing to supercede a fiat in bankruptcy, that had been
issued against Nash. The facts under which the fiat
had been sued out, were embodied in a special case, and
appeared to be the following:—Previous to the year 1840
John Nash had carried on the business of a farmer and
hop grower, at Reeds Farm, in the county of Kent. In
that year a deed of partnership was entered into between
him and Henry Gurney,a son of William Brodie Gurney,
of Denmark-hill, to carry on the business together
for a term of fourteen years. Some time in the year
1841 Thomas Gurney, a brother, advanced a sum of
538/. 12s. 6d. for the purposes of the partnership, and
W. B. Gurney, the father, lent a further sum of 2,0001.
for the like purpose. Both these advances were secured
by the promissory notes of the firm. Another faro,
called Butchers, in the same county, was subsequently
added to the business, which was carried on by the
parties amicably until tho year 1846. At that period an
interruption of friendly intercourse took place, and it
was proposed to wind up the partnership concern. The
debts of the firm at this time amounted to a little more
than 17,0001, of which 8,000/., subsequently reduced to
5,0001., was due to Messrs. Hankey, the bankers. In
March, 1847, a deed of dissolution was executed,
whereby it was arranged to wind up the affairs under
inspectors; and liberty was therein reserved to Nash
to purchase the interest in the two farms at a valuation.
Accordingly, in the month of September following Nash
gave no:ice of his intention to avail himself of such yight.
of pre-emption, and the interest was assessed to him at
3,229/. To this valuation Nash objected on the score
that the rents of the farms, which he alleged were noto-
riously too high, had not been taken into the account,
and also that certain hop- poles, which were his own pri-
vete property, had been improperly included in the .
aution. The inspectors then intialatral that they 111)10,
