proceeds of the mortgaged property, deducting the de-

the action, which would await the further order of the
court.

The Trinidad Spectator severely comments on the
conduct of the Marshal in this case, in retaining the
money in his own hands for five months, in place of pay-
ing it into the Treasury ; and calls upon their Honours,
