THE ARCHBISHOP. OF CANTERBURY.

The English Churchman has very good authority for
stating that the Archbishop of Canterbury is so unwell
that little hopes are entertained of his Grace being able to
minister in public again. Our contemporary says it is
not unlikely he will resign his See, and, if so, the Bishop
of Winchester, it is reported, will succeed him, and the
Bishop of Chester be translated to 'Winchester. The Patl
Mall Gazette is in a position to say that this report need
excite no alarm among the Archbishop's friends.

THE NEW BANKRUPTCY LAW.—A question under the
new Bankruptcy Act was raised before Lord Justice
Giffard in the Court of Appeal. The point at issue was
whether the new act gives power to a judge controlling a
bankruptcy proceeding instituted under the Act of 1861,
to grant an injunction preventing the sale of property
belonging to the bankrupt, and alleged to have been frau-
dulently disposed of, until the right of the assignees to
such property had been determined. In the case
in question Mr. Anderson, a wine and pic-
ture dealer, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, had, it
was alleged, disposed of his property fraudulently
preliminary to his petition as a bankrupt last December,
having among other transactions, sold his books
and pictures, valued at £20,000, to his nephew,
for £5,700. The county court granted an
injunction restraining the nephew from disposing of the
property until the right of the assignees had been tried,
and ordered that the bankrupt should be prosecuted.
The Lord Justice held that the county court judge, had
Jurisdiction to grant the injunction.
