LAW REPORT.
COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST it.
GORDON V. GORDON.
The continuation of the argument in this case took
up the greater part of the day. The panics are sons of
General Gordon, who died abroad, leaving four sons,
who were supposed to be illegitimate. Provision was
made in the will for the eldest, who died before he could
come into possession, but for no other of the children.
A distant relation claimed the estates, which lay chiefly.,
in North America and the West Indies, while the Crown
claimed them as escheats. The defendant sheaved to
the plaintiff a certificate of the marriage of the parents,
dated subsequent to the plaiutiffs birth. Convinced of
the fact of his own illegitimacy, the plaintiff entered into
an agreement, which left him some advantages in point
of present possession, but secured the proper interests of
the defendant, as the legitimate heir in point of nieces.
sion. The plaintiff afterwards discovered a certificate
of a private marriage of his parents, which was dated
prior to his own birth. Proceedings were instituted at
law and in equity, which, after years of litigation, re-
stilted in a verdict which established the legitimacy of
the plaintiff; and a decree, which annulled the agree.
merit, and required the defendant to refund all the
money which he had received under it. The defendant
discovered another certificate of his parents' marriage,
which seemed to make it clear to the defendant, that
the marriage was after the birth of his elde-, blather.
Upon this he brought a bill of review, which formed the
subject of the ;.resent argument.—Judgment postponed.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, AUGUST it.
Francis Workmen was opposed by Mr. Minn' for
Mr. Whitmore, the !newer. It appeared that the insol-
vent had need Mr. Whitmore's collecting.clerk, and hip.
came a defaulter to the amount of 381. 7s. in conse-
quence, as the insolvent stated, of having lost the sum
40 whilst in a state of intoxication. He paid Mr.
Whitmore 81. 7s. in cash, and gave him his promissory
note for the remaining 301. out of which he afterwards
paid 51 moil; but he was ultimately arrested for the
balance. When questioned as to the time he received
certain payments on behalf of his employer, the insol-
vent pulled out a pocket-book to refresh hi: memory.
Mr. HIATH asked to see it; the insolvent with some re-
luctance gave it to him open at the place he was reading,
but protested against Counsel's examining it beyond
that. Mr. HEATH disregarded the protest, and drew
from the pocket-book about thirty duplicates, and seve-
ral memorandums relating to articles of property
pawned, none of which were entered in the schedule.
The insolvent at first stated that the memorandum-lists
related to property belonging to another person; but
on being pressed, he admitted that part of them related
to articles of his own.—Petition dismissed.
The following insolvents ,were discharged without opposidoe,
viz.—Dankl Dean, late of Fetter•lsee, printer (except as t con.
tempt) ; Francis Wilifeen "Heady, late of Brighton,tavern-keeper ;
