COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL.-BARTLET V. WOOD.-JUDGMENT.
This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Sir John Stuart directing common accounts to be taken
with general inquiries, and ordering the appellant to pay
two-thirds of four class of costs incurred on seven objections
in the administrative suit under the will of the late H.
Hasley. The plaintiff objected to the sale of several houses
in Plymouth by the trustees, and contended, instead of a
decree for a common account, there should have been a de-
cree for wilful neglect and default.
The Vice-Chancellor held, on inquiry, that there wa.sl3°,
foundation whatever for the original complaints, but allowed
the plaintiff his costs of inquiry.
Mr. Malins, Q.C., was heard for the:appellant, and I\ll-'
Craig, Q.C., for the respondent.
The Lord Chancellor disallowed the costs of inquiry oc-
casioned by the eleventh and twelfth paragraphs in the
plaintiff's bill, imputing fraudulent conduct to the defew
dant in the sale of the houses in question, and directed hi
the twelfth paragraph in the decree to be paid by th°
defendant to the plaintiff ; the rest of the plaintiff'
costs in the suit to be taxed as between party and party,
on
stead of solicitor and client, and re versei so touch Of+t i,llig'
order, on further consideration as is inconsistent with `5

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
%
IN RE BARKER-ANOTHER FAILURE IN THE

TRADE.
This bankrupt was described as of Gravesend,
Grays, Essex, and Enfield, Middlesex, currier, and to-dap
was appointed for proof of debts and choice of assignees.
In consequence of the business having been carried °n
d,
places so far apart, Messrs. Wilkinson, Stevenson, 811
Wilkinson, of Nicholas-lane, and Mr. Shurland, of Gras.es-.
end, represented the creditors ; Messrs. Hart Brothel-1
and Hayles, Basinghall-street, being the accountail°.
From their preliminary statement it appears that the e,btS
due to creditors are about £2,150 ; to ditto holding secusiti°
£2,530. Creditors, by good debts, £298; property II
hands of assignees, 510 ; ditto, in the hands of creditorS,
£2,000. The complication of affairs resulting from t 11:
heavy failures in the leather trade appears to have been 0 ',—
cause of the bankruptcy.

Assignees wore chosen and will be duly gazetted.
IN RE PEFFANI.
This bankrupt was described as a sail maker in ag°
Minories, and came up for his certificate. The accoun tb!,
Mr. Thomas Gresham shows debtors £584. To cre(:ti,,t°i
holding security, £2BB. By good debts £66, doubtful ill'
property £270, but as the assets in hand bear a fair prop?t„
tion to the debts, it may be calculated that a large addit,l°,
will be made in consequence of the assignees dispilOP
claims to the extent of £1,102.

A second class certificate was granted.
IN RE PHEBEY.
This bankrupt had carried on business, as dealer in by
in Bridewell-place, New North-road, and came up f°rmaj,
