the reverend gentleman was placed in a position of pecu-
liar hardship, and unius th,) Court would interpose its
snthority for his pro!eLtion there was no remedy what-
ever open to him.
Mr. Justice ERLE wished the Learned Counsel to road
the provision of the Act of Parliament which authorised
insolvent Commissioner to annul vesting orders.
Mr. JAMES did so. The Act atiFolutely annulled
nesting orders in certain cases, and invested the Commis-
lioner with discretionary power to deal with cases like
the present.
Mr. Justice EaLE was afraid under there eircum-
atances he could not interfere. The Act gave the Com-
missioner authority to quash the order, I,upposing he
should think such a step ju-t and meet, and this Court
hr
'd laid it down as a rule never to interfere with the
exerci,,o of
a discretionary power which the Legislature
ill'ght confer on a lower tribunal. In this case it was
gotta clear the Insolvent Commissioner had refused to
„a,stu 1 the order in the exercise of his discretionary
and this
tinu Court could not interfere without viola-
ls wholesome rule. This was, however, a peeu-
r,ease, and it would, perhaps, be es well to mention it
