CARTER 1. ILLIDGE.
This suit was instituted to obtain the winding-up of the
Imperial Brazilian Mining Assneation (established in 1825),
under the direetion cf the Court. the same company being
already, by resolution, in the ccm•se of winding up volun-
tarily. It appears that the compt, ny were entitled to a
number of slaves and the children or such slaves born in
Brazil. The slaves were lawfully acquired, and their chil-
dren lawfully possessed as slaves in Ba azil. A doubt had,
however, been expressed as to whether the directors cf the
company could realise the value of the slaves without sub-
jecting themselves to punishment under the Enelisio law,
and the opinion of the Court was now sought on this point.
Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Lewis were for the plaintiff; Mr.
Bacon and Mr. Alluntt for the defendants.
Their Lordships' attention hating 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 words of the Cth
section of the act in question. being the act which was
passed in 1843 for the more effectual suppression of the
slave trade, is as follow :—" Provided always, that nothing
in this act contained, shall be taken to subject to any for--
feiture, punishment, or pi ntlty any person for transfzrring
or receiving any share in any joint-stock company esta-
blished before the passing of this act in respect of any slave
or slaves in the possess,on of such company before such
time, or for selling any slave or slaves which were lawfully
in his possession at the time of the passing of this act, or
which such person shall or may have become possessed of or
entitled unto bow; fide prior to such sale, by inheritance,
devise, bequest, marriage, or otherwise, by operation of
an."

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—AUQ. 3.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
:IZI RE MILLINGEN.

The bankrupt was an umbrella manufacturer, of Fore-
street. This was the examination meeting. Debts, £.2,564;
assets about £5OO.
Mr. Linklater opposed and examined the bankrupt tr.uch-
ing hie 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. lie kept a hcrse and chaise, and
used to go about selling goods where he could. Half of his
pales were effected in this way, and the other half at his
shop. He had made ready money sales to the amount of
£2,400 since January, 1856. He had been in the habit of
exchanging cheques with different persons; it was impos-
sible f‘r him to give the particulars. From January, 1856,
to the failure there were entries in his banker's book of
£3,000 or 24,000 of receipts and payments, which did not
appear in his cash-Look. These were in respect cf the ex-
banged cheques.
Upon being examined by Mr. Lavrranc3 the bankrupt
deposed that the sales seated in the account as amounting
to £13,808 were all vouched ; the ready money sales were
un vouched, but the porchrves. :9,14,482, were also vouched.
Mr. Linklater and Mr. Lawrence having been heard on
behalf of their respective clients,
His Honour said the only question was whether the' bank-
rupt should pass. He thought no good result would ensue
from an adjournment. If further examination were desired
it might he bad at the certificate meeting. He should there-
forz, followivg the principle laid down in Sellers' case, allow
the bankrupt to pa's his examination " without prejudice to
any, And every qa(StiOti" when he asked for his certificate.
Tbe bankrupt passed.
