WOODS V. RUSSELL.

The plaintiffs in this action were the assignees of
a bankrupt, Patten, who had been a timber-merchant
and ship-builder. The defendant had successively
paid £750 at two several payments, as part of the
expenses of a vessel building by the bankrupt, Patten,
for the defendant. The question in the present ac-
tion, which was an issue from Chancery, went to
ascertain whether the act of bankruptcy was com-
mitted on a certain day,, a Wednesday, or whether
the pretended act of bankruptcy was fraudulent. If
'the act of bankruptcy was on the Wednesday, the
rudder and cordage, to the value of £6B, which had
been provided on the Friday succeeding the Wed-
nesday in question, were the property of the assignees,
as forming part of the property of the bankrupt.
Mi. Justice BoTtay expressed an opinion in the
course of the trial, that the bankrupt was only a
trustee to the extent to which money bad been sup-
plied by the defendant.
Verdict for the plaintiff—finding the act of bank-
ruptcy committed on the Wednesday, and £6B due
to the plaintiff.

SINKING OF A- MOUSTAINe•—A high ridge of
mountains, the Moselle, called the Sieben Owen
Berg, has been observed some years past to have
in it very large clefts, which for the last five years
measured above a foot in breadth, thus exciting in
the inhabitants of the adjacent banks no unreason-
able apprehension of an approaching fall of part of
the mountaiq. This has now taken place. On the
7th of July, In the evening, earth and stones were
seen rollin4 down from the summit, which continued
increasing in quantity till four o'clock the next morn-
ing, when a whole mass of rock came loose, and fell
with such violence into the Moselle, that it forced
the water out of. its channel, overflowed the opposite
bank to some distance, and drifted away, the vessels
lying at Bruttig. The damage done is ittcalculable ;
it appears that about forty vineyards have been pre-
cipitated with the rock into the river. The moan-
taia on the opposite side, called the Kessel, likewise
threatens to fall. As this mountain is rent and torn
with frightful clefts, as. well at the top u in the mid-
dle and lower parts, and the front part had sunk
three feet on *é morning of the istb, and large
makes continually rolled down, it is to be feared
that the whole enormous body will fall into the.
Moselle, and fill up the greater part of the channel,
which would make the river overflow its banks, and
cause the most dreadful ravages.
