LAW INTELLIGEN CL'.—('Phis Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Btfore the Lords Justices.)

NINE CAUSES-LODGE V. PRICHARD, AND OTHER CAUSES.
These were administration suits under the will of the late
Adam Lodge, Esq., rope maker, Liverpool, who died in
1837. The testator by his will devised all his real estate in
Carmarthenshire and Liverpool to his first and second
sons, subject to payment of certain mortgages, and be-
queathed his personal estate and business to trustees for
payment of his debts. His personal estate was found not
sufficient to pay his debts, and several questions were
raised between his sons, widow, and trustees, whether
his real estate was, liable to pay his debts. Lord Justice
Knight Bruce, and Lord Justice Turner, after referring very
minutely to the claims of the several parties in these respec-
tive suits, and objections urged by them against being en-
cumbered with the payment of the testator's debts, came to
the conclusion that the testator's real estate was primarilly
liable for payment of his debts, and that his personal
estate was secondarily liable, and declared accord-
ingly. Their lordships directed the executors to take an
account of the debts, assets, and interest of the testator,
and suggested that the real property might be sold first to
pay off the mortgages and debts.

Their lordships discharged the order of Vice-Chancellor
Sir John Stuart, and substituted one order to that effect in
all these causes. Costs of the appeal to be costs in the
cause.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Roinilly.)
STURGIS T. MOORE.-JUDGMENT.

The contention in this suit was whether the plaintiff, as
official assignee of the bankrupt, became entitled to one-
fourth, or one-twelfth part of an estate tail to which the
bankrupt succeeded after his bankruptcy in 1820. His
Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that under
the Bankrupt Act, 1814, an estate tail would have vested in
the assignees, but in the Bankrupt Act of Ist George IV. that
Act was repealed, and the words " tail estate " was omitted,
and therefore the estate tail succeeded to by the bankrupt
did not vest in the official assignee under the bankruptcy.
His Honour said ho would make a declaration in favour of
Mr. Prichard, to whom the bankrupt had made an assigna-
tion of his interest in the estate tail before his death. His
Honour allowed costs of the motion, and Will mention the
case on minutes on Monday.
