been done, and that there is nothing to hope for from
the Government of Morocco towards preventing the
tribes of the frontier making armed incursions into our
territories, and committing acts of brigandage. The
Moorish authorities appear to be no less unable to pre-
vent Abel -el-Kader from sojourning on their territory,
and from organising his bands at some leagues from our
territory. In a word, the authority of th Emperor is
an empty word, and the governors named by him cannot
make themselves obeyed. The Caids, notwithstanding
their protestations, which they renew every time our
bayonets appear, make common cause with the ex-Emir,
and receive part of the booty taken from the tribes who
have submitted to us. It is doubtful whether such a state
of things can be much longer tolerated; a decision must
be taken to bring the Moors on the frontier to reason,
and to drive Abd-el-Kador from their country."

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY).
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN RE COOPER.

IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO THE LIABILITY OF
TRUSTEES.—In this case the bankrupt came up for his
certificate, and was opposed by Mr. Parry, on the
ground of improvidency and breach of trust, as trustee
under the will of his brother.
His HONOUR at once said that he did not sit there to
punish a man for being improvident, and the case must
depend on any breach of trust which could be established.
Mr. DUNCAN, who appeared for the bankrupt, in a
very energetic speech succeeded in impressing the
Learned Commissioner that his client was not quite so
black as painted. The facts were remarkable. It ap-
pears that there were four brothers; one died, and left
his other brothers trustees. The bankrupt, however,
did not at the time act under the will, but his brothers
becoming embarrassed, and one actually bank-
rupt, to relieve them 'from the serious con-
sequences which it was conjectured they might
fall into. He, in 1833, debited himself in his accounts
with the whole amount of the debt, about 1,320/.;
he received the rents of certain leasehold pro-
perty and applied portions of it in reduction of the debt;
but it was contended he could not do so without pre-
judicing the cestui qui, trust who had a right to oppose.
The Learned Counsel urged that the bankrupt had,
throughout the whole affair, acted as banker for the
family, and he could not clear off the liabilities of his
co trustees acting up to the time he took the responsi-
bility on himself; he had paid interest according to the
price of the funds, he therefore ought not to be charged
with any misappropriation of money merely taking
the reduction of the debt be had incurred; in truth the
bankrupt had gone beyond honesty—he had acted with
honour, adopting debts and liabilities which he was not
bound to do. The Learned Commissioner Holroyd had
insisted:that the proof of the cestui qui trusts should only
be on the bills of exchange given, and therefore they had
no right to oppose for a breach of trust. Mr. Duncan
submitted that by the words of the will, no one trustee
was to be answerable fur the acts, defaults, &c., of the
other.

The Learned CO3IMISSIONER said that the usual clause
was better left out than inserted, and had no bearing on
the present case. The bankrupt had admitted a debt as
a trustee, and had misapplied the property by paying his
own debt, which he was not justified in doing, although
a residuary legatee.
The certificate was suspended for nine months, with-
out protection.
