CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE MERCHANT ADVENTURERS OF

BRISTOL.

This was an appeal from the decision of the Master of the
Rolls. The facts are as follow :—Edward Coniston left cer-
tain estates in trust with the Corporation of the Merchant
Adventurers of Bristol in 1705, to be devoted to the erection
of an hospital or almshouses in that city, for the reception of
100 boys, who were to be supported, educated, and provided
with trades. The question at issue was, whether or not the
trustees were entitled to any beneficial interest in the trusts,
and turned upon the technical construction of the deed vest
ing the trusts in the defendants, who laid claim to the sur-
plus that had accrued since the foundation of the charity, to
indemnify them against certain sums which they had ad-
vanced, but which on the other side it was contended were
provided for from casual sources specified in the deed.
The Attorney-General opened the case, and was followed
by Mr. Twiss on the same side.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Air. Commissioner Goni.noisx.)
IN RI RAINEY.
examThi inatios day
n, having been appointed for the bankrupt's last
Mr. Faamt:Tos, solicitor for the bankrupt, requested that
the matter might be postponed, as, although they had been
busily engaged with the accountant (Mr. Wright) for some
days
past, they had been unable to make a statement of
accounts in such a complete state as would warrant
them in producing it in Court. They requested, therefore,
that his Honour would grant them a postponement for two
months. This would give the bankrupt an opportunity of
bringing his account s up satisfactorily, and enable them to send
them in to the official assignee at the end of six weeks, giv-
ing him thereby a fortnight to examine into their correct-
ness. He might inform his Honour that they had already
progressed in some degree, fur they had delivered in accounts
to the amount of 4,000/.; but there still remained about
eighty to examine_ Mr. Payne (the trade assignee) had a
claim to prefer relative to one of these accounts, in connexion
with some property lodged with Coutta and Co.; and, until
that question was decided, it would be folly for them to make
up the statement in a hasty and imperfect manner.
The official assignee (Mr. Green) concurred in the applica-
tion. He conceived that time was necessary to furnish a
satisfactory statement.
After some further conversation, the final examination was
adjourned to the 14th of May.
The solicitor for one of the creditors (Dr. Ogle) wished to
put a few questions to the bankrupt.
Mr. Coox said that he was retained for Mr. Rainey. lie
had no objection to urge against that gentleman's examining
the bankrupt, and therefore he wished it understood that he

did not interfere with his right of doing s ut as

The Solicitor proceeded to put another question, wben,,oeet
His IloNoua said that it was quite plain what the
evn:a
of the examination was, that these questions preins7,, to
asked should be the means of holding Mr. Rameyao
reprobation. lie (the Commissioner) considered thal'ong,
creditor had in that stage any right to put such questions'
The law did indeed give the creditor power to aa'"scate,
questions, when the bankrupt came up for his certni,j
but it never contemplated that the bankrupt should be ali-e
a series of questions not with the view of bettering 00
estate, but of holding him up to scorn and centunielf• n.
