LAW INTELLIGENCE-(TMS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
wiLtis v.. ELACK.-

Mr. HENLD stated that this was in fact two ap-
peals` from dte decision of the present Master of the
Rolls, then Vice Chancellor. The case depended
upon the construction of a covenant in a Marriage
Settlement. The,, petition of appeal which. Mr.
Heald had to argue was presented by the plain-
tiff
.in the . cause,
.who . was the ,trustee -.under
the, marriage. settlement. The „object of the
covenant was to secure to the new-married
couple such provision ultimately as the other younger
children of the testator would have. Upon the
marriage, 1,4001. was given:to the testator's daugh-
ter down, with the covenant that he would make
further provision for her and her issue, equal to the
other younger children. The bill was filed for the
purpose of dividing the estate of the testator among
his younger children. Upon the case 'being heard
before Sir John Leach, he pronounced the following
decree :—He declared that the testator was bound
by the covenant in the settlement to make a provi-
sion for her and her husband, including the
1,4001. The parties not being satisfied with this,
presented a. petition of rehearing, and upon the
case being re-heard, he ordered that his former de-
cree should be varied, by omitting such part thereof
as declared that the testator was bound by the. co-
venant in the settlement to make provision for his

daughter, including the 1,400/.,- and that he was
only bound by the covenant to give her as full a part
of his estates as the other younger children would
become entitled to in the event of his death. Mr.
Heald then contended that the latter decree was not
correct, and that 'the only decree which ought to
stand was the first decree. ' '

Mr. ROUPEL and Mr. PRESTON followed on the
same side.

Mr. ROE appeared for some of the other younger

_______
Mr, PEPYS appeared on the other side, arid con-
tended that the last construction put on the cove-
nant by Sir John Leach was the right one.
Mr. TINNEY was on the same side, and was ad-

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
BANKRUPT PETITION.
Ex PARTE DAWSON, IN RE WENTWORTH.
This was the petition of the assignees and certain
creditors of the estate of the Messrs. Wentworth
and Co. ; and it prayed that the certificate of Thos.
Rishworth, one of the bankrupts, might be stayed
until such time as the bankrupt should give to the
Commissioners and the petitioners a full and satis-
factory explanation of various acts of misconduct on
his part, under the Commission. The petition, which
was opened by Mr. HoRNE, stated among other things,
that the banking-house of the Messrs. Wentworth
and Co. in London, stopped payment on the 9th of
December; 1825, and that several establishments at
York, Wakefield, and other parts of the country,
failed on the 10th of the same month; that an as-
signment of all their estate and effects was made to
the assignees on the 10th of February, 1826 ; that
since that period the bankrupts had undergone se-
veral examinations to the satisfaction of the Com-

missioners; and the requisite . number of the
creditors, as well as the assignees, had accord-
ingly, after the final examination, signed their certi-
ficate. The object of the present petition was,
that that certificate, so far as respected Thomas
Rishworth, might be stayed on the ground of mis-
conduct, which, with the exception •of one fact,
had come to the knowledge of the peti-
tioners, since they had affixed their signatures
to the certificate. The petitioners had proved

debts under the commission, to the extent of .
25,0001., and had, therefore, in the opinion of the
Learned Gentleman, a manifest right to the atten-
tion of the Court. They stated that they had since
discovered that Thomas Rishworth dealt largely
with the house of Hexley and Co., in London, who
were in the habit of making extensive purchases of
corn on his.account; even after the bankruptcy, a
fact which he concealed from the petitioners. Down
to October, 1826, he corresponded with Hexley and
Co., as if no bankruptcy had taken place and he
continued to treat the subject of their dealing as
his own property. The clear effect of such conduct,
the Learned gentleman submitted, was to defeat the
primary object of the commission, which was, that a
full and true discovery of the bankrupts' estate and
effects might be made in order to their proper distri-
bution. among the creditors. This object was clearly
defeated by the conduct of the bankrupt in concealing
from his assignees, concerns materially affecting the
estates of co-partners certainly effecting his separate
estate. If the Court then should find Mr. Rish-

worth not fully disclosing in his examination affairs
of so much consequence to his creditors, could
it be said that he had so conducted himself
under his 'Commission' as that his certificate
ought to pass the Great seal ? The affidavit of Mr.
Patrick, an accountant, employed in winding up
the affairs of the bankrupts, stated in his affidavit,
that Mr. Pjshworth kept a ledger, in which there
was an account'opened under the head of " John Hex-
ley's account." In this ledger there were various
erasures and obliterations made in.the handwriting of
Rishworth ; among others there was an erasure in
Hexley's account of 4,0001. to the debit side, and of
8,0001. at ,the credit sde. The bankrupt had, up
to July, 1826, free access to the bank at Wc.kefield,
in which the accounts of the effects of the petitioners
were kept. He 'had a general superintendence of
the affairs of the bankrupts, and affected to assist the
assignees in winding up , the accounts, until he was
desired by them to desist from further interfe-
' rence with them. One of the affidavits in support
of the petition stated, that a. sum of money to the
amount of 1,8811. 13s. 3d. had been received on be-
half of the bankrupts in Bank. of England paper and
other good 'money; it was after Wards discovered
that Rishworth had abstracted this money from 'the
coffers, and substituted for it cash notes and other liabi-
lities of the bankrupts. If this were made out against
him, it furnished such an instance of misconduct
during the pendency of the commission, as must in
his, Mr. Horn's opinion, justify the Court in saying
that the certificate of the bankrupt ought to be stayed.
The affidavit added, that the sum thus taken away
was partially restored to the petitioners. The notes
and liabilities of the bankrupts were :taken
from him at the rate of ten shillings in the
pound, that being the rate allowed to other
debtors of the estate,- who held such securities
of the bankrupts, the other half he paid in
lgood money; thus there is a clear acknowledge-
ment of the fact, and' a partial restitution of the
money. But ought the petitioners to be satisfied
with that, had they not a right to know whence this
good money, to the amount of over 9001., came from ?
The same affidavit went on to say, that it having
been communicated to the assignees that Rishworth
kept a private cash-book, they sent for him, and
desired him to produce it ; • between his leaving the
assignees for that.purpose and his subsequently re-
turning with the book, it was mutilated; several leaves
had been cut out in two places; the leaves cut out from
one part were subsequently restored; but the other ho.
had not as yet given. It appeared, however, that
this book had been previously exhibited to the com-
missioners. The petition, after setting forth that
the bankrupt had received several sums of money
far which he had not satisfactorily accounted,
stated, that about the date of the commission he
caused bank notes of the bankrupts to .be burn-
ed, to the amount of many. thousand pounds,
and the petitioners were Still ignorant whether
part of these notes .supposed to be burned
had Lot afterwards been re-issued ; that it
wasimpossible that they could be sufficiently
informed on that subject until the winding
up of the affairs ;* and therefore it was, that
they prayed that the certificate of this bankrupt
might be stayed, until he should undergo another
declaredsed
examination. The petitioners admitted their know-
ledgeu
fbaeeftosreththeyey
ga of the bankrupt's having ordered the notes to
be brn
certificate;tshattbey
.butNvere
a to

call on the Court to 'say, that Mr. Rishworth had
wholly disentitled himself to his certificate ; be
merety wished that_it might be stayed until it should
be ascertained whether he had done any thing in
juriOns to the estate of the bankrupts.
• Mr. GIi.DERT then proceeded to read severahaffi-
davits, those in behalf of Mr. Rishworth, denied
some .of the charges, and gave explanations of the
others—all guilty intention was most explicitly and
solemnly denied.
Mr. RosE appeared for the bankrupt, and con-
tended that even if all the allegations in the peti-
tion were true; the Court ought not at 'this late
stage, to interfere to stay a certificate signed un-
der circumstances so honourable .to the. bank-
rupt. The petition was to be traced to the bad
feeling of the assignees,and had Mr. Rishworth been
little more.cap in hand—
Mr. HORNE.—Cash in hand.
Mr. RoSE.----His Learned Friend was quite
right ; for if Mr. Rishworth had been a little more
cash in hand, to his assignees, these gentlemen would
never have troubled his Honour with their petition.
The arguments had not concluded when our 'Re-
porter left the court.
