IN RE WADE, A BANKRUPT.

The LORD CHAN CELLoR gave judgnient in this cast The
act of bankruptcy was committed by the execution of strtist-
deed, whereby Mr. Wade conveyed to trustees (ofwhich
Messrs. Rabett and Mayhew were two) a large oropertyto pay
his creditors. The deed had been acted upon for som time,
until the property was found insufficient to discharge 11 the
debts, and the trustees found their situation awkwal. In
order to disembarrass themselves, as well as the bankrup, they
seemed to have made an attempt which it was fortunat had
not been carried into execution—namely, to get into thiunds
the portion of three out of the five daughters of Mr. Wae. It
was probable, if these ladies had consented to strip thertelves
of their fortune, that nothing would have been heard A( this
commission. They were, however, better advised. 1 com-
mission. was taken out by Messrs. Rabett and Mayhfor it
was shown to be a joint act by the bill of costs. Ptbill
amounted to 2121. for costs up to the choice of assimes—a
charge greater than his Lordship's experience furnisht/ an ex-
ample of. It was a singular circumstance that Mesrs. lia-
bett and Mayhew were trustees under the very deed viich was
represented by them as an act of bankruptcy. Oter indi-
viduals are applied to by these persons ; but under the tzablanee
of the werk of others, the commission must really be,onsider-
ed that of Messrs..Rabett and Mayhew. If no conequences
would result to others, his Lordship would sun%ede the
commission directly; but he could not look at all th circum.
stances of this matter, without desiring all persons anceined
to reconsider whether it might not be arranged. IVii respect
to Mr. Wade, if the commission were supersedeAto-night,
other creditors might take out another to-morrow lit would
therefore do him no good, but perhaps harm, to suptsede the
present. The trustees were in a situation which nade an
arrangement very important to them, for they. wercresponsi-
ble for all the operations under the trust-deed. The prchasers
under that instrument were ;JO liable to those to torn they
might have sold. All must be undone ; every shillirt must be
refunded to the estate; all assignments and purchasesmust fall
to the ground, if the commission were superseded., Al parties
were therefore imperiously called upon to consider, wether the
matter could not be adjusted out of Court ; if °theme, every
act of the assignees must be reviewed; the bill of cots would,
perhaps, be examined, whether the commission werempersed.
ed or not. The choice of assignees could not stand. A meet-
ing of creditors had been called to sanction nets suheqttent to
the act of bankruptcy, and before the commission ; ht looking
at the persons present at that meeting, and all othr circum-
stances, it was impossible that the Court could permi its object
to be carried into effect. His Lordship concluded ty stating,
that he had made ruphis mind what was to be done if the de-
cision was left to the Court. He was anxious, bwever, to
make an experiment, whether the. matter could at he other-
wise disposed of to the interest of all parties. Afters fortnight
or three weeks, the inability to agree might be intineted to his
Lordship, who would give an order forthwith.

BLACKBURN V. LORD MANSFIELD.
His LORDSHIP would not give finaltidgment in ifs case till
Wednesday, when Mr. Hart would be in court, as i was a case
of trespass attended with peculiar and alarming cirmstances.
He would merely mention that be thought the deiurrer to the
motion would not hold, and was inclined, thereto:, to think
that an injunction must be. granted.

Mr. KNIGHT said he would take an order to that effect.
