LAW INTELLIG ENCE.

CIIANCEItY.-(THIS DAY.)

The HODSON V. BALL—JUDGMENT.
LORD CHANCELLOR in giving judgment said,
s was a motion for discharging an order of the
1.)11,ee-Chancellor, by which he directed a supplementary
ti !1 ta be taken off the file, on the ground that he con•
lered it a supplementary bill of the nature of a bill
°f review, and that it had been filled without the per-
trisicm of the Court. The original bill, as far as it
Is
related to the three defendants, called on them, as ex-
ecutors- and trustees, to account to the Court for the
Tanagement of funds committed to them, and it was
'lereed against them. The supplementary bill
Mated that after that decree was carried into the
aster's office, it was discovered for the first time,
that the trustees had been guilty of great misconduct
themselves in managing the affairs of their trust, and
that not merely as to what came through their hands,
but
se
on account of what might have come through
but for their wilful neglect. As that decree so
'prayed for was essentially different from the decree
f;nounced by the Vice-Chancellor in the original
t 4,", on this ground it was stated that it ought to be
tu"en off the file, because it had been filed without
v'e permission.of the Court. The answer to this
Ous, that this was not a supplementary bill,
t only a supplementary bill ins aid of
w
decree, and a passage in " Mitfords Treatise
Pleading" was referred to and read, which
stitted that a supplementary bill might be filed
i
aid Of the decree, when it was for the purpose of
11trying that decree more fully into effect. This
1, lew was no doubt the correct one, for the position of
the
question was, the purpose of a supplementary bill
aid of 'a decree. He apprehended that such
▪ bill could not vary the principle of that
fr;eree ; it was to carry out its principle,, and
re it more full and complete execution. He
PPrehended, therefore, that the distinction was
- one he had stated. In the present case the de-
be•
ee prayed for was quite contrary to the principle of
onginal decree; the original decree was merely for
it
Common account ; the supplementary bill prayed
for
one of quite a different character, founded on the
...41,iseanduct of the parties, calling for an account of
,7nat they might have received, but for wilful neglect
s uti their pait. It was considered, therefore, not to
.7 a supplementary bill in aid of a decree, because
s`„'t Proceeded quite on a different principle,
‘,11(1 had a different object. He thought the parties
te the bill themselves had pronounced the same °pi-
llion on the face of the bill itself, because a supple-
Illentary bill in aid of a decree did not require aver-
Illenfs that the matter in which the bill was founded
had been discovered since the original decree was pro-
tounced '; those averments were necessary to support a
till of the nature of a bill of review, and in this case
`, found those averments stated. The objection,
therefore, td' the order of the Vice-Chancellor could
riot be sustained. The next point was one of form,
whether the hill ought to have been ordered to be
taken off the file.' He would consider this both on
triaciple and authority ; if the bill was put on the
.; le improperly, what course could be more proper or
Just than to take it off? From the decision of Lord
t'ldon in Perry v. Phillips, it was evident that
e considered this the proper course. Both
In principle and authority, the taking of the bill off
It file in the present case was a proper proceeding.
4 had also been objected that this was not a supple-
mentary bill, but one of the nature of a bill of re-
/Lew, and that it could not be taken off the file, as
.art of it was there properly. The answer of the
ice-Chancellor to this was a proper one ; it was that
11, they had chosen to mix up together different ob-
rts in the bill, the Court could not.detach the parts
rom one another, and if one,portion was improperly
(In the file, the whole must follow the portion that
,*as improperly placed there. He should therefore
dismiss the motion for discharging the order of the
w lee-Chancellor with costs. Another part of the
Illation was an application for leave to file a bill of
the nature of a bill of review, and, as the affidavits
were very strong, the Court would grant permission
to file the bill as prayed. The first part of the motion
lyas then dismissed with costs, and leave given to file
„„
"* bill of review.
