IMPORTANT DECISION.—In the matter of H. C. Watkins ,a
bankrupt.—A question of importance to sporting gentlemen Cas
lately been decided by the Curia of Review in Bankruptcy.—
The facts are these. Mr. Henry Charles Watkins, late of this
town, was the secretary of the Chatsworth Coursing Club,which
met at the house of M r. King, the Bush Inn, who was treasurer.
Watkins was in the habit of receiving subscriptions, and other
monies belonging to the club, which he should have paid over
to Mr. King. He subsequently became a bankrupt, aril .at the
time of his bankruptcy, he bad about £2OO in his hands belong-
ing to the club. Mr. W. C. Chew, of this,town, an attorney
for the club, attended on their behalf to prove on Watkin's
estate, in the name of Mr. King, as treasurer; but the commis-
sioners under the fiat refused to allow the club to prove, stating
that it was a gambling transaction. A petition was then pre-
sented by Mr. Chew, on behalf of Mr. King, to the Court of
Review, praying to be allowed to prove for himself and the
other members of the club, which petition was opposed by
Messrs. Temple and Parker, as counsel for the assignees under
Watkin's estate. and they contended that this was not a club
under any act of parliaMent, but that the transaction with
Watkins was illegal, on the ground of gaming ; they also denied
the agency of the bankrupt. The court, however, after bearing
Mr. Sturgeon, as counsel for the petitioner, made an order for
the petitioner to be allowed to prove on behalf of himself and
the other members of the club, and the claim was not to be re-
sisted .on the,ground of gaming. The order was produced before
the commissioners, .and by the directions of the court they al-
lowed the .club ,to prove for £l6B 55., observing that the club
might consider themselves as incorporated, being allowed to
prove in the name of their treasurer.—Manchester Chronicle.
