This suit was institr
led to obtain the winding-np of the
Imperial Brazilian 11'Z%
ming Asromation (established in 1825),
node.. the direction
. of the Court, the same company being
alrey'y, by resol'
,tics, II in the course of winding up volun-
tarilyer . It ant,
rare that the company were entitled to a
nun' of slr
.ves and the children of such slaves born in
Brazil. Tt A slaves were lawfully acquired, and their chil-
dren lawf telly possessed as slave. in Brazil. A doubt had,
howeve-,
been expressed as to whether the directors of the
eemV.ll7, could realise the value of the slaves without sub-
lecti'JZ themselves to punishment under the English law,
ans. tt .e op:Ilion of the Court was now sought on this point.
Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Lewis were for the plaintiff; Mr.
Bacon and Mr. Allnutt for the defendants.
Their Lordships' attention having been called to the 6th
and 7 h Vic., c. 98, sec. 6, made the order for the sale of
the slaves, and added a direction for sale applicable to the
children of the slaves in question. The wcrds of the 6th
rectioa of the act in question, being the act which was
passed in 1843 for the more effectual suppression of the
slave -rade, is as follow :—" Provided always, that nothing
in this act contained, shall be taken to subject to any for-
feiture, punishment, or penalty any person for transferring
or receiving any share in any joint-stock company esta-
blish( ti before the passing of this act in respect of any slave
or slaves in the possession of such company befo.c such
time, or for selling any slaveor slaves which were lawfully
in his possession et the time of the passing of this act, or
which such person shall or may have become possessed of or
entitled unto bond fide prior to such sale, by inheritance,
deyiec, bequest, marriage, or otherwise, by operation of
aw."

PRIPP T. THE BRIDGEWATER CANAL COMPANY.'

Their Lordships gave judgment in this appeal from a de-
cree of Vice-Chancs!llor Wood, and dismissed it with costs.
The f.tcts of the case were devoid of public interest.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Attu. 3.
()Wore Mr. Commissioner Goniburn.)
:IN RE MILLINGEN.

'll,l bankrupt was an umbrella manufacturer, of Fore-
/erect. This was the examination meeting. D 64,12,564;
assets about £5500.

Mr. Linkicter opposed and examined the bankrupt touch-
ing his ready money sales. It appeared that for some time
before his failure he had been in the habit of selling goods
for ready money, chiefly to pawnbrokers, without making
any entry in his books. He kept a horse and chaise, and
used to go ahout selling goods where he could. HOlf of his
sales were effected in this way, and the other half at his
ahop. He bad made ready money sales to the amount of
£2,400 since January, 1856. He bad been in the habit of
exchanging cheques with different persons; it was ironer-
eible for him to Give the particulars. From January, 18.56,
to O.- failure there were entries in his banker's book of
£l,OOO or ,g 4,000 of receipt and payments, which did not
appear in his cash-hook. These were in respect of the ex-
hanged cheques.
111 on being examined by Mr. Lawrence the bankrupt
depo.ed that the sales stated in the account as amounting
to £13,808 were all vouched ; the ready money sales aa ere
unyt ched, but the purchases, £14,482, were also vouched.
Mr. Linklater and Mr. Lawrence having been beard on
behalf of their respective clients,
His Honour said the only question was whether the hank-
rapt should pass. He thought no good result would ensue
Iron an adjournment. If further examination were desired
it mi,:ht be bed at the certificate meeting. He should there-
fore, followivg the principle laid down in Sellers' case, allow
theb mkrupt to pass his examination " without prejudice to
any and every question" when he asked for his certificate.
The bankrupt passed.

IN RE TROWSU.
Tb,2 'Ankrupt, A. E.Trowse, a coachsmith, Sm., Leather-
lane. appliA f,er his certificate.
Tbs bsnkruptcy occurred in 1855, but the proceedings had
been t,l ,layed by litigation in other courts.
Mr. Lawrence appeared in support of the application.
No opposition being offered, a third-class certificate was
grantee.

which Mr. ette, for Messrs. Calvert and Co., objected, en
the r,rninr.: that they should have been applied for at the
time l'ae summons was disposed of.
Mr. Phillips said the coats were necessarily incurred is
•getti,lg• the money. The summons had been taken out long
beforr, it was returnable, and on the Monday, when the time
exuixed, Messrs. Calvert and Co. signed an admission of the
debt, and tork advantage of the nine days allowed by the
law, paying the debt en the Saturday as the time expired

IN RB JAMES ABBOTT—A COLLEGE FOR IDIOTS.

had attempted to establish a college for idiots of the higher
clesses, was opposed by a Miss Newman, who had been
matron of Br. tholomew s Hospital. Mr. Reed supported.

Inteoder.t of his college at Laverstock, near Salisbury, which
was fins idiots of the higher classes, and also a college which
was rival Oxford and Camtridge. He failed in his pro-
ject, and hence the insolvency.

advarce £l5O which she had saved up, and also raising
money on her reversionary property for another £l5O.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked some of the learned
cow set to take up the case for Miss Newman, and Mr. W.
Denney corveated and opposed for her.
Miss New detailed the manner in which she had ad-
vanced Ler money to the insolvent, and the expectation he
held :nit to her from the establishment of a college which
was 4o rival the great universities.
Mr. Denney made an energetic speech, complaining that
he had been defranded of her money.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips expressed his obligation to
the learned counsel for conducting the ease. The poor
won.an had lost her money, and it was a case for the full
extent of the discretionary clause. After commenting on
