GREEN v. GREEN.

This case was set down as a motion by order. It referred
to the marriage settlement of 1,200/. upon trust, to Thomas
Green, for-life, and for his wife afterwards, with remainder to
children. Thomas Burton and Thomas Green, who were
partners, had become insolvent; certain friends of the fazily
had since come forward, offering to pay 350/. upon the trus-
tees releasing the 1,200/. for the benefit of the cestuique trusts,
and the object of the present suit was to obtain a reference
to the Master, to ascertain whether it would be for their
benefit that this arrangement should be made.

it would be for the benefit of the parties interested under the'
settlement that the proposed arrangement should be made.

INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.

IN RE WM. ANDREWS.

The COURT gave judgment in this matter. The insolvent
bad formerly been a solicitor carrying on business at Man-
chester, in partnership with another person named Hulme.
The insolvent having been arrested, applied to the Court for
the relief of insolvent debtors at Lancaster, when he was
opposed by Mr. Hulme, on the grounds of having contracted
debts by means of a breach of trust, when he was remanded
fur twelve months. ; He then moved for a rule nisi from this
Court, in order that he might be reheard. The grounds
upon which he moved for a rehearing' were—first, that there
was no debt; secondly, that there had been no 'breach of
trust ;'and, lastly, that if there had been, it had been waived
by'a subsequent arrangement of the matter.
'Mr. Commissioner POLLOCK said, that after the Court had
carefully considered all the bearings of the case, they felt
bound to discharge the rule upon all the grounds. •
Mr. COOKE inquired whether the Court had the power of
giving costs?
The CIIIEF COMMISSIONER said he regretted to say they
had not.
