COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 28.
(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in Banco.)
WRIGHT V. HUTCHINSON.
Mr. Sergeant MANNING appeared to move for judg-
ment in this case, which was an action brought by the
plaintiff against the defendant, who had been declared a
bankrupt, and had set up a plea that the deht accrued
before the bankruptcy. The plea was held to be bad by
the counsel for the plaintiff, inasmuch as it did not state
the defence in the precise form of the statute, sth and 6th
IT;Ctoria, c. 26, section 10, which directed that such a
plea ought to state that the goods of the bankrupt had
been vested in the official assignee for distribution as
W(11 as posQussion.

Mr. UNTHANK, who appeared for Mr. Sergeant Brit's,
cited several cases, in order to show that if the substance
of the section was taken in the plea, the precise words
were not absolutely necessary.
It appeared, however, that there were some contra-
,:lictory decisions by the Court, and leave was given to
amend the plea within a w, ek. i

TREE.
This is a question respecting the validity of the will
of the late Mr. Richard Reed dTarry, who died at a
lunatic asylum, near Coventry, on the 27th of July,
1846, leaving freehold property valued at 6001.. and per-
sonal property amounting to 8:0001. By his will, dated
June 7.1846. he devised the freehold to Dr. Seaton, th,
keeper of the its3lum. The will is opposed by Mis.
Grimani, the sister and only next of kin to the deceased.
An allegation was now tendered, pleading that the testa-
tor had recovered the use of his faculties at the time he
executed the will.
12r. Addams and Dr. Robertson opposed the admissi-
bility of the allegation; the Queen's Advocate acd Dr.
Harding sustained it.
The Learned Judge having directed a trifling altera-
tion to be made in some of the articles, admitted the al-
legation to proof.
