LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

HODSON V. BALL—JUDGMENT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR in giving judgment said,
*V's Was a motion for discharging au order of the
b, diancellor, by which he directed a supplementary
z'!l to be taken off the file, on the ground that he con•
°f
f(lered it a supplementary bill of the nature of a bill
.review, and that it had been filled without the per-
,lssion of the Court. The original bill, as far as it
'u,,elated,, to the three defendants, called on them, as ex-
ecutors and trustees, to account to the Court for the
nagement of funds committed to them, and it was
Mated
against them. The supplementary bill
that after that decree was carried into the
;7aster's office, it was discovered for the first time,
that the trustees had been guilty of great misconduct
enuelves in managing the affairs of their trust, and
thatg not merely as to what came through their hands,
them
on account of what might have come through
ern, but for their wilful neglect. As that decree so
'prayed for was essentially different from the decree
Irenounced by the Vice-Chancellor in the original
, to , on this ground it was stated that it ought to be
yent off the file, because it had been filed without
permission of the Court. The answer to this
tit that this was not a supplementary bill,
4 -.
only a supplementary bill in aid of
decree, and a passage in " Mitford's Treatise
0 Pleading" was referred to and read, which
setsited that a supplementary bill might be filed
le aid of the decree, when it was for the purpose of
parry
ine that decree more fully into effect. This
tleew wa-Q.,.n0 doubt the correct one, for the position of
questiOn was, the purpose of a supplementary bill
aid of 'a decree. He apprehended that such
'` bill could not vary the principle of that
decree; it was to carry out its principle,, and
eve 3 it more • full and complete execution. He
tf.'Prehended, therefore, that the distinction was
one he had stated. In the present case the de-
the prayed for was quite contrary to the principle of
or decree; the original decree was merely for
4
common account ; the supplementary bill prayed
for one of quite a different character, founded on the
Misconduct of the parties, calling for an account of
oat they might have received, hut for wilful neglect
sin their part. It was considered, therefore, not to
a supplementary bill in aid of a decree, because
proceeded quite on a different principle,
4,11 d had a different object. He thought the parties
to the bill themselves had pronounced the same °pi-
llion on the face of the bill itself, because a supple-
Illcritary bill in aid of a decree did not require aver-
tbat 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
Lill of the nature of a bill of review, and in this case
} a found' 'those averments stated. The objection,
therefore, tCP the order of the Vice-Chancellor could
not he sustained. The next point was one of form,
Whether the bill ought to have been ordered to be
taken off the file.' He would consider this both on
rlinciple and authority ; if the bill was put on the
e improperly, what course could be more proper or
Just than to take it off? From the decision of Lord
Ic .didon in Perry v. Phillips, it was evident that
11. e considered this the proper course. Both
thprinciple and authority, the taking of the bill off
ie file in the present case was a proper proceeding.
4t had also been objected that this was not a supple-
14entary bill, but one of the nature of a bill of re-
view, and that it could not be taken off the file, as
tart of it was there properly. The answer of the
ILiee-Chancellor to this was a proper one ; it was that
if they had chosen to mix up together different ob-
-"rats in the bill, the Court could not.detach the parts
ruin one another, and if one,portion was improperly
on the file, the whole must follow the portion that
dismiss
improperly placed there. Ile should therefore
Vice-Chancellor
the motion for discharging the order of the
"cc-Chancellor with costs. Another part of the
Thotion 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
..
'0 file the bill as prayed. The first part of the motion
14As then dismissed with costs, and leave given to file
„ '-oc bill of review.
