11ANSON V. rICKWRINd AND onlins.
Mr. Lovare moved er parte for an injunction against the de-
fendants. The plaintiff was a lady desirous of henefitting a ne-
phew and niece, one of whom was one of the defendants, and the
other the wife of another of them. She assigned over to the
defendants three stuns of stock, atnounting, together, to about
three thousand pounds, the annual produce arising from
which was to be paid to her for her life, and then the amount was
to go to the two individuals named. The plaintiff had ascertained
that the defendants had sold, or were about to sell, out the stock,
and going to apply the produce improperly. She had elan found,
that one of them was insolvent, had offered a composition to his
creditors, and that a commission of bankrupt had issued against
another. Under these circumstances the injunction was asked, to
restrain the sale of the stock, or the defendants from further re-
reiving any more money on account of it.
His Loansuir directed the injunction to go to prevent their
receiving the money, if they had got the stock transferred,
but he wished a short affidavit stating the actual fact.
If this had been done, he should consider it as rascally
an act as any man Could be guilty of.
BANKRUPTCIES AND JUDGMENTS.
This LoßDsHip has over and over again stated, that he hats
more reasons than one for feeling most anxious to get through all
the bankrupt petitions now before him, and cases in which he
has yet to pronounce judgment, when the Court meets again._
Sane of the bankrupt petitions are in matters of extreme hardship,
and of vital importance, not only to the parties concerned, but to
the public generally, as his Lordship has intimated. One of the
heaviest matters is that of " Ex-parte Kemp, in the matter of
Kemp and Batchelor," which was expected to have been argued
this week, but in consequence of the Bar having been broken up
earlier than a short time ago was anticipated, it has been thrown
over till November. The affidavits, and other documentary evi-
dence, in support of this petition, are so -voluminous, that the
briefs of the Solicitor-General, Messrs. Horne, Montague, and
Whittnarsh, who are retained for. Mr. Kemp, are extrem*ly

ItIAWMAN V. TICC:G.

Hig Lc:apalm thought the order to be made in this case ought
to be something of this sort—that the plaintiffs should bring their
action or actions immediately against the defendant, for the
publication of his book ; that they should be put to
prove their title at law ; that the defendant should be
at liberty to dispute it if he should be so advised, as to parts
of the book, which are alleged to be only themselves copies or
coloured parts from other books; that the plaintiffs should elect
whether they go before the Muter to enquire into what parts
were coloured.or copies; or deliver to the defendant, written one
month before he had to plead, a statement or affidavit of those
puts; that the defendant should keep an account of the profits of
the books he sold, that an account of those profits should be deli-
vered every two months, sealed up and verified by affidavit ; that
the sealed paper should only be opened under an order of the
Court; and that the consideration of all costs should be reserved
till after the trial.
