COURT OP CHANCERY,. JOUST 9.
THE OPERA HOUSE.
WATERS V. TAYLOR.
The Lotto CHANCELLOR had, according th his re.
quest, been furnished with the papers in this case,
whieli, as we have already stated, arose out of an ap.
plication of the plaintiff for an assignment of the pro-
perty of the King's Theatre, on his paying the ba-
lance of the purchase-money: On the se.opening of
the biddings, the property had sold for £70,150, of
which the plaintiff, as purchaser, had paid into Court
47,015, as a deposit: he had besides claims as a mort•
gagee allowed in the report made by the Master, to the
amount of £34,162; and he now prayed to have an
assignment executed on his paying, on or before the
Ist of November next, the balance, viz. £28,979.—
But the Matter's report was excepted to on the pars
of the defendant, chiefly on the ;rosins' that it had
been drawn up on insufficient evidence ; mid it was
prayed that the plaintiff should be ordered to pay the
whole balance of the purchate•money, in addition to
the deposit. His Lordship said he had now read
over all the papers with which he had been supplied,
and from which it appeared that there were two mo-
tions in this case. The object of the one was to compel
Mr. Waters to pay up the whole of the purchase.
money..—that of the other to procure the plaintiff the
assignment on his paying only £28,073. This last
motion wv, however, decidedly opposed on the part
of Mr..T.aylor ; and on that account, especially as
the parties were much involved in litigation on this
subject, he had thought it his duty to look narrowly
into the papers ; and he should hope that some final
arrangethent Might still be come to for the interest
of both parties. With regard to the subsisting con-
test respecting the specific amount of Mr. Waters's
mortgage, hastill wished further information, and he
e:iould be glad if any of the parties would furnish him
with explanations of the particulars of that sum. If
:rtny further information could be given On the extent
and applicability of the Innis referred to in both mo-
tions, with respect to which there were considerable
differences in the statements, be should also like to
1,-.upplied with it. Were there any further expla-
al ions to be made on these points ? [The Counsel
iminiated, by a bow, that they had no further iafor-
iiiation to give.]—As be was then in full possession
(it all the information to be given in the case, he
ould give judgment on Monday next. •

JUDGMENT..
DIXON AND OTHERS V. EY/AIST AND OVER'S.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this ease,
iiich was relative to a ship at sea.-44 There were
7cral poims of law involved in it, for which reason
f i.ave taken the opinion of some of the Law Judges.
I wrote to Mr. Justice Abbott; wbo was on the Os-
hrd Circuit with the Chief Justice of the Court of
Cummon Pleas, requesting his bpinioa. •which he
i,r,s sent me, and the Chiet Justice confirms it. 1

dee, especially when a bill of sale was effected. With respect to
the hill of sale itself, at the time such bill was executed, the pro-
perty being vested in the vender, became divested on the s►ip
having been it) port ten days, there having been an endorsement
on the certifica•. register There became, therefore. no interest
in the lia,,kropt from th- time of sale, and th.• commission of
baahr:tp•,y is,Lore; then the inte.rests, as a matt, r of course,
reol.O:1 its !he velblee; for the making such endorsement
was neither more nor less than an act of duty which th.• bank-
rupt was bound to perform. He therefore might discharge such
dory hanArlf previous to the expiration 01 ten days, or lie was at
liberty to do so by his attorney, constituted to act as such before
the bankruptcy; but :he prop, rty revests in case that ditty is not
discharged by a person so constituted as before, within ten days.'
'4 Such is the opinion with which I have been fur-
nished by the Learned Judge, and I must take it as
the law of the case ; but it any of the parties wish a
case to he made nut for the consideration of the twelve
Judges, I cannot object; otherwise I shall decide ac-
cording to the opinion I have received from the Lear-I
ned Judges."
