We regret to announce the death of Mr. William

year.—pagy Aiwa.

Mr. Palmer contended that the vendor had only been
about 20 years in possession, having a beneficial interest
without a legal title.
Mr. Speed followed on the same side. Ho asked for a
title of 30 years' possession to bar disabilities, 40 years to
bar objections, and 50 years' possession to give a good title
(Douglas v. the Northern Railway Company, 1; Keay v.
Johnstone, page 153 ; and 108th section of the Railway
Act) ; and therefore that the Court could not decree specific
performance of the contract of sale.
At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel his Honour
delivered judgment.
His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, considered that as it
appeared from the evidence of an old man named
Tomlinson, that in 1813 Thomas Pearson the elder pur-
chased the property in question—Pentrich Mains—and let
,itto a person of the name of Taylor. Thomas Pearson the
elder, by a general devise, devised all his lands to his son,
John Pearson, so that he has had possession of the land
from 1813 down to the date of the purchase by the com-
pany. His Honour thought that forty-six years' undis-
turbed possession of the lands by the vendor was
sufficient to enable him to give a good conveyance to the
company. His Honour made a declaration to the effect
that the title given to the company was a good title to the
lands, and directed Mr. Pearson's sister, the co-heiress, to
concur in the conveyance, and in the event of her refusal
to appoint a person to concur for her in terms of the Act r
and order the dividends and purchase money to be paid
over, on completing the title, to Mr. Pearson.
Mr. Emslie, Q.C., for Mr. Pearson, asked costs underthe 6
50th, and 215th sections of the Act.

His Honour had difficulty in giving costs in rectifying a
title which appeared to be bad. He knew that in some of
the superior courts law costs were given in an unsuccess-
ful defence, but he could not give full costs in this case.
Mr. Elmslie—With respect to Storey Pore the opinion of
the counsel of the company was obtained in 1837, and it
appeared that only two-thirds of that property was con-
veyed to John Pearson.
His Honour remitted the bill of costs to the taxing
master to consider what was necessary and proper to be
allowed as costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

IMPORTANT APPLICATION.-PROTECTION AFTER REFUSAL

OF CERTIFICATE.-IN RE JAMES FOLDEN.

Mr. Bagley applied on behalf of this bankrupt, under the
following circumstances :—The bankrupt had carried on
business with his son, as fishing-tackle makers, but the
transactions became irregular, and bankruptcy was the
result. Upon the application for certificate, his Honour
granted an immediate certificate of the second class
to the son, but wholly refused that of the ap-
plicant on the ground that he had given a bond on
behalf of a friend to Hanaway's Charity, by which
the Charity were considerable losers. The bankrupt had
the usual protection to give him an opportunity of appeal-
ing against his Honour's decision, but had endeavoured to
effect an arrangement with the trustees and the other cre-
ditors, and on affidavits his Honour granted protection for
one month, Mr. Warrand, the solicitor for the assignees
not objecting.
