ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

MEUX'S BREWERY.--.LATIIASI V. BARNETT.
Mr. PEMBER'TON stated, on this cause being called on,
that the Court would recollect it stood over for the pur-
pose of giving the parties an opportunity of canting to
compromise ; all hopes, however, of any arrangement be-
ing at an end, the cause must now come on for hearing,
unless the Court thought the objection he was about to
take was conclusive. The bill was files by Mr. Latham,
who was a partner in the brewery of Meux acid Co., for
the purpose of having the accounts of the partnership
taken, and a valuation made of the property of the part-
nership, which consisted of public-houses and other ar-
ticles, to the value of between three and four Ifilndred
thousand pounds. Among the partners of the firm of
Meux and Co. was a gentleman named Prior, who, at the
time of filing the bill was solvent, and was therefore made
a defendant, together with the other partners in the
concern, but since the original bill was filled, and the an-
swer put in, Prior bad become bankrupt, and the articles
of partnership provided, if a partner during the time of the
partnership became a bankrupt or insolvent, then the other
partners should be at libertyto purchase his share in the con-
cern upon certain terms: those terms were, that the share
should be taken on the last • Valuatiita, and upon pay- •
meat of that sum by instalments, the other partners,
if they should think fit, should be at liberty to purChase
his share. Upon the bankruptcy of Prior, Latham filed
a supplemental bill, stating that bankruptcy, and praying
that the share of Prior might he purchased upon the terms
mentioned in the deed of partnership. During the pen-
dency of that suit the assignees of Prior became desirous
of selling his share to the partners upon terms which
varied a little from the partnership deed. By the part-
nership deed it was to be taken at the last valuation,
and the sums were to be paid by instalments, but the as-
signees were desirous to have immediate payment on
making a compensation. Unfortunately, Mr. Latham
and his partners were on such terms that Mr. Latham
could not be induced, either to assent or dissent,
from that agreement ; and Mr. Latham's share in the part-
nership being considerable in comparison with the other
partners, Sir Henry Meux, Mr. Barnett, and Mr.
Bennett, agreed to purchase from Prior's assignees his
share, upon tel which they considered beneficial
to the concern. A deed was prepared for that pur-
pose, to which the parties were unable to procure
either the assent or dissent of Mr. Latham ; and under
!inch a state of circumstances, the Learned Counsel con-
sidered it absolutely necessary that Mr. Latham should
either elect to take under the deed, or file a bill to set it
aside. Mr. Latham bad pursued neither of those courses,
nor had he Sled any supplemental bill to bring the new
state of facts before the Court, under such circum-
stances it was impossible the cause could now be pro-
ceeded with. The Learned Counsel was more anxious to
insist on his objection, because, supposing a decree to be
made directing the account, they would have to be taken
at an enormous expense, the present partnership expiring
in July twelvemonths, at which period it would be ne-
cessary to have the account taken over again. It was to
the interest of all parties the cause should be postponed.
Mr. BECKERSTETII considered the proposition of Mr.
Pemberton a very reasonable one, and assented to the cause
standing over, his client, in the m.antime filing a supple-
mental bill, for the purpose of bringing the matter before
the Court.
