ROL

iLS' COUR.T.-(THIS DAY.)

This being Coe first day after Term, the Master cf the
Rolls sat at his Court in Chancery-lane, when 24 town,
and 70 country solicitors, were sworn before his Lordship
and Masters Farrer and Wilson.
His Lordship afterwards gave judgment in the following
case

DAY V. CROFT—RECEIVERS' ALLOWANCES.
This case came before the Court upon petition, praying
for a reference to the Master to review his report as to the
allowance to be made to the receiver appointed to col-
lect and receive the personal estate of the testator,
the late Mr. Day, the noted blacking manufacturer,
with directions that he should pass his acounts half-yearly.
By the first half year's accounts it appeared that ho had
received more than 20,0001., consisting as to a large part
of principal money paid in discharge of mortgage debts,
and for the redemption of annuities, and as to other large
parts of money paid for interest on mortgages, and for the
rent of the leasehold estates. On passing his accounts he
• was allowed for his trouble the sum of 1,014/. 25.,
being at the rate of five per cent. on the
total amount of al! his receipts ; viz., 20,281/. 19s. 9d.,
His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, stated that va-
rious representations having been made at the bar, as
to the principles of the pr,..ctiee in the Master',
offices as to Receiver's allowances, he had thought
it right to make inquiries of the Master on the sub-
ject, and all of them had been good enough to send him
certificates. He found there was no general rule. Most
frequently where there were rents of freehold or leasehold
estates to be received, a sum of s per cent. on the amount
of the receipts was allowed. If there was any special
difficulty on account of the tenements being extremely
small, and the payments frequent—weekly payments and
so on—an addition to the 5 per ce.nt, was allowed ; but if
there was very great facility in receiving the rents, less
than 5 per cent. commission was allowed. One of the
Masters had certified to him a ease in which he had allowed
only 4 per cent. for the receipt of the rents
and profits of freehold and leasehold estates ; another
had mentioned a case where there was only a single
rent of 3001. a year to be received, and in which, for the
first year the receiver was allowed 150/., but subsequently
for a succession of years he had not been allowed more than
501. a year. So that there was no general and universal
rule that 5 per cent. should be allowed for the receipt of
the rents and profits—the allowance in cases of extraordi-
nary difficulty being immense, and in cases of extraordinary
facility diminished. Generally speaking, in the greater
number of instances they were allowed 24- per cent.
for receiving gross sums; but on many occasions
that was reduced to 1 per cent. It therefore
appeared that the Masters, as indeed they ought, consi-
dered what was fit and proper to be allowed, having re-
gard to the trouble and the degree of responsibility of the
receiver. In this case the particular circumstances and
nature of the items were not brought to the Master's at-
tention, and there being nothing to induce him to deviate
from the general rule, he allowed five per cent. Under
All the circumstances, his Lordship thought he ought
to refer it back to the Master to review his
report. A gloat many parties had appeared oa the
petition to defend the Master's Report ; and, gene-
rally speaking, they must have their costs ; but some of
the parties had thought fit to file affidavits of an extraor-
dinary length, and which were wholly irrelevant. The
costs of these affidavits his Lordship would Lot allow.

KINDER V. FORBES.
In this ca;e a motion had been made to discharge for
;riegularity an order that service of a subi.cela to appear and
answer on Messrs. hall, Boss, and Austin might be deemed
good service on the defendant, Forbes carrying on business
in partnership with them. Mr. Forbes wss in Italy, and had
no dwelling house in England where service could be made
according to the ordinary rule. The question in the cause
related to the validity of a mortgage, the interest of which
was payable to Mr. Forbes. Under an order of the Court,
Ind during the absence of Mr. Forbes, the interest was re-
ceived for his use by his partners. The transaction in ques.
tier, was not a partnership transaction, but for this purpose
they were acting as his agents. The order was that service
of the subpte.in on the partners who were his agents, or
one of them, might be deemed good service.
His Lonnsuw refused the motion with costs.
The Court, having heard the short causes, proceeded to
hear motion.

DEATH OF GIULETTA GRISI.--A singular
fatality would appear to attend the great performers at her Ma-
jesty's Theatre. We are sorry to have to announce the news
of •he decease of Julia Grisi's sister, which will deprive the
public of La Diva's presence for some (lays. Giuletta Grisi is
too well known in the world of art to require her history at our
hands. She triumphed in vocal art on all the great theatres
of Europe, and her Majesty's Theatre, as we believe, possessed
her more than once; but when she last came to England her
talent uas not at its zenith. Her voice:was distinguished for re•
workable control over those contralto notes which moved so
much the feelings, although its essential quality lay in the so-
prano. having amassed a certain fortune, and married an Ita-
lian nobleman of considerable affluence, she had retired from
the stage, when one of the most cruel diseases to which flesh is
heir gradually brought her to the grave.—ln consequence of
the temporary retirement of Madame Grisi, Signor Lablache has
ros'poned his benefit, which was fixed for this evening.--Morn-
ing Post.

festival of the Literary Fund Society was celebrated yesterday

falfourd and other gentlemen addressed the company, and ex-
patiated on the claims which the Society had upon the iublic.
