LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. I.
FARQUHARSON V. BALFOUR.
The LORD CHANCELLOR directed this matter in which he
had intended to proceed to.day, to stand over until Monday
this day). He wishedthein to be informed whether the de-
endant
intended to submit to the process of the Court. It
would be afterwards for him to.consider of the circumstances of
the case, and the appointment of a receiver.
THE HOPE INSURANCE COMPANY V. MULLINS.
This was an appeal from an order of the Vice Chancellor
who had appointed a receiver of the defendant's estate.—
The defendant, upon quitting' England, left his title-deeds
in the possession of Ins wife, *hom he had authorized to
raise money for the payment 'of certain debts. He had also
given her a power of attorney to act for him generally, and
had directed her to consult his son-in-law, a Mr. Burley,
and a Mr. Ireland. Mrs. Mullins, with the assistance of the
last-named gentlemen, succeeded in negociating the loan of
a sum of 12,000/, with the Hope Insurance Company.—
Bonds, as a collateral security, had also been given by certain
mercantile men, the friends of Mr. Mnllins. The money
had not been repaid, and the confirmation of the transac-
tion was now refused by Mr. Mullins, who had filed a bill to
recover possession of his title deeds. The ground upon
which he relied was that the authority delegated to his wife
was not sufficient to authorise the deposit or the deeds. The
llope Insurance Company had recovered 3,5001. of the securt.
.ties, and they now contended that they had an equitable mort-
gage on the deeds for the whole amount, upon payment of
which they would return the sum paid by the sureties to each
of them. When this cause came on before the Vice-Chancel-
lor, he made lAD order so far in favour of the Hope Insurance
Company as to appoint a Receiver. From this order the pre-
sent appeal was made.
Counsel were heard at great length, but not having finished
at the rising of the Court, it was postponed until Monday.
