IN RE DELL AND BAINIRIDGE.

Mr. Bagley, instructed by Mr. Warrand, applied to
the Court under the following circumstances :—The
choice of assignees took place in August last when Dell
surrendered, but Bainbridge had absconded. An appli-
cation was then made to Mr. Commissioner Fane for an
order to prosecute Dell, but that learned commissioner
declined to interfere, but gave leave to Mr. Turner, the
solicitor to the assignees, to apply to his Honour
(Evans), He, Mr. Bagley, had now to apply for an
order that the bankrupt or his solicitor, Mr. Warrand,
should have notice of any application, so that the case
might not be heard ex parte.
His Honour said that he could not make any such
order.

The application was therefore refused.
IN RE CIAMINADA.

This bankrupt was described as of Bread-street-build-
ings, merchant, and to-day was appointed for his last
examination, which had been adjourned to enable the
bankrupt to file his accounts.

Mr. Chidley appeared for creditors, but as no ac-
counts had been yet filed the examination was now
adjourned sine die.

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
EXPARTE •-••••••-•

An application was made by the plaintiff in a case
tried a short time since in this court, in which the,plain-
tiff recovered a verdict. He now complained that the
attorney whom he had engaged detained the plaint
note, and he therefore applied to the Court to grant a
certificate of judgment having been obtained, so as to
enable bim to take out execution in another district,

His Honour—Why does he keep the plaint note ?

The applicant said that he had agreed with him to
conduct the case for 2/., but he afterwards required
another it., which was paid, and on the case being
heard his Honour granted 1/. as the attorney's fee,
which he (the attorney) claimedin addition to the money
paid, and refused to give up any of the papers unless
allowed to draw it, or it was paid by applicant. He
(applicant) refused, and contended that he had then paid
more than the attorney was entitled to, as he (applicant)
could have engaged a barrister for less money.
His Honour—Then you would have had to have paid
a barrister and an attorney.

Applicant—No ; I need not have employed an attor•
ney in this court.

His Honour—l know you must under the General
County Court Act. (On reference to the City Act it
was found that there was no proviso to that effect.)

His Honour—U der the circumstances we will direct
a certificate to issue, but I think you will be in some
difficulty without the plaint note ; and I must say that
I do not think you act very generously, for your attor•
ney conducted the case with very great skill, and bad to
attend on two or three OCCABiOIIS.
The certificate was then granted.
