Thames :(i.) C. A.-Conservators-Bed of the River--Rights of Ouner of Shore as to Raising Sand or Gravel--Thames Conservancy Act, 1894, ss. 87, 238. — The expression “ bed of the Thames " in sect. 87 of the Thames Conservancy Act, 1894, includes the soil between ordinary high water mark on one side of the river where it is tidal and ordinary high water mark on the other.

D.--Registration-Concurrent Applications by Former Partners to Register separately Trade Marks of Old Firm-Special CircumstancesPatents, Designs, and Trades Marks Act, 1883, s. 72.-The comptroller may refuse registration of a trade mark identical with or bearing a deceptive resemblance to a mark already on the register, not merely in the interest of the registered owner but for the protection of the public. Where concurrent applications are made to register identical or similar trade marks such registration ought not to be permitted unless the Court is satisfied that there is no reasonable probability that harm is likely to arise. The facts that applicants were formerly partners and used for the partnership business marks identical with those now sought to be registered, and that they concur in their applications, are not “special circumstances" entitling them to an exercise in their favour of such discretion as may be vested in the Court under sect. 72 of the Patents, &c., Act, 1883.-In re Ehrmann's Trade Marks, L.R.

Ginnever, L.R. (1897] 2 Ch. 503; 77 L.T. 302. (ii.) C, D.-Breach of Trust-Relief under Judicial Trustee Act, 1896– Time for applying.–Where under an order made in 1893 a trustee had been found by the Chief Clerk's certificate liable in respect of a breach of trust, it was held that he was not too late in applying, on further consideration, for relief under sect. 3 of the Judicial Trustee Act, 1896, and that he ought to be allowed the opportunity at that stage of shewing that his case was a proper one for relief under that Act. In re Stuart ; Smith v. Stuart, L.R. (1897] 2 Ch. 583; 77 L.T. 128. (iii.) C. D,- Breach' of Trust-Executor Guilty of Derastavit-Relief Judicial Trustees Act, 1896, s. 3.-An executor was guilty of undue delay in issuing the usual advertisements for claims, and meanwhile paid a legacy and allowed the testator's widow to receive the income of the estate for the support of herself and family. Afterwards large claims, exceeding the value of the estate as ascertained at testator's death, were substantiated against the executor. Held, that although there had been undue delay the executor had not, under the circumstances, acted unreasonably, and might be relieved under the Judicial Trustees Act, 1896, from the consequences of his derasturit.-In re Kay; Mosley v. Kay, L.R. [1897] 2 Ch. 518. Will:(iv.) H. L.-Construction-Rule in Shelley's Case-Equitable Estate Tail Insanity-Subsequent Evidence of.--The rule in Shelley's case is not a mere rule of construction designed to carry out the intentions of the testator, but is a strict rule of law, which applies wherever there is a gift over including the whole line of heirs, general or special. Where the trusts of a will require that during minority of the testator's child, the legal estate should be in the trustees and be in them again after the child's death, the legal estate remains in the trustees throughout, and the child takes an equitable estate tail and the estate limited to his heirs special being equitable also, the rule in Shelley's case applies. Harton v. Harton, 7 T.R. 652, and Jesson v. Wright, 2 Bli. 1, approved. Montgomery v. Montgomery, 3 J. and L. 47, disapproved. A deed executed by a married woman certified at the time to be of competent understanding will not be set aside merely because several years afterwards she is found by a jury to be insane, and to have begun to be insane at a period prior to the execution of the deed.–Van Grutten v.
