HOUSE OF LORDS.

APPEAL-EWING V. CRAWFORD (OR EWING) ET AL.

The further hearing of this appeal was resumed this
morning. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., was retained for the ap-
pellant.
This was an administration suit under the will of the late
Jas. Ewing, Esq., of Levenside, merchant, Glasgow.
The testator, by his will, directed his trustees, in the
event of his not leaving a child, to pay a legacy of £20,000
to his nephew, John Humphrey Ewing Crum, mer-
chant, Glasgow, the appellant, if he did not suc-
ceed to the estates of Levenside on the death of his
widow ; and if he did succeed to that estate, to pay
him the interest of £lO,OOO until he got possession of that
estate. The widow is now in possession as life-renter;
and a question arises whether the testator intended succes-
sion or enjoyment of the estate before payment of the lega-
ales. The testator died on 29th November, 1853, leaving a
widow, but no children.
The First Division of the Court of Session in Scotland
unanimously held that the events contemplated by the
testator in the 6 and 7 purposes or articles of the trust, viz.,
the apellants succession to the estate of Levenside had not
yet happened, and that he was not yet entitled to take the
legacy in question. At the conclusion of the arguments of
emnsel, the Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the
Court of Session, and dismissed the appeal with costs. The
other learned and noble lords entirely concurred.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evens.)
IN RE DURALL-CERTIFICATE MEETING.

solicitor. I have no personal feeling in the matter. I hope
it will be arranged as soon as possible.
Mr. Bovill said Mr. Ingram was quite as anxious as Mr.
Scully that the subject should be closed. A gentleman at
the bar had been named, and the inquiry would be taken
immediately.

The Lord Chief Justice said he was pleased at the ter-
mination of the case. It was entirely of a pecuniary na-
ture, which he trusted would be settled to the satisfaction
of both parties, who were gentlemen who must frequently
come iu contact ; and he hoped that in the end they would
think no worse of each other than they had done before
this unhappy difference arose.
The jury was then discharged.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
GYE V. HUGHES.
This case was resumed this morning. It is not expected
to conclude to-day.

This was the certificate meeting in ~he matter of the
bankrupt who was described as of Bond-street, milliner and
dressmaker.

Mr. Lawrence opposed, and examined the bankrupt at
some length upon various matters, more particularly in re-
ference to some goods which had been pawned.
After hearing the bankrupt's explanations, the learned
Commissioner said this was a crass in which he could award
an immediate certificate of the, second class.

The debts in the balance-sheet commencing January 1,
1858, and ending November 17, 1859, are—To creditors un-
secured, £685 ; creditors holding security, £116; creditors
to be paid in full, £llO. The assignees have in hand £125.
