of the judgment of North, J., was this, that, though he held that the receiving order did not deprive the court of jurisdiction to issue the attachment, yet, whenever there was a receiving order in existence, the court must decline to issue it. The decision was inconsistent with itself, and there had really been no exercise of discretion. THE COURT OF APPEAL (COTTON, BOWEN, and FRY, L.JJ.) dismissed the appeal without hearing the respondent's counsel. COTTON, L.J., said that, if the judge had held that the existence of the receiving order had deprived him of jurisdiction, or that on some other ground there was no case for sending the solicitor to prison, the court would have entertained the appeal. But the judge, assuming that he had jurisdiction, had said that, taking into consideration all the circumstances of the case and the fact that a receiving order had been made, the issue of an attachment would produce no good result, and that, in the exercise of his discretion, he would decline to allow it to be issued. His lordship would give no opinion as to what he should himself have done, but he thought it would be wrong for the Court of Appeal to interfere. It was like a case in which, upon a motion to commit a person for contempt, the judge, in the exercise of his discretion, declined to make an order of committal, but ordered the respondent to pay the costs of the motion. In such a case it would, as a general rule, be wrong for the Court of Appeal to interfere. He would not say that the court would not interfere in a very gross case. But in the present case he thought it would be wrong for the Court of Appeal to interfere by imposing on the solicitor a heavier penalty than the judge had thought fit to inflict. BOWEN and FRY, L.JJ., concurred. THE COURT ordered the costs of the appeal to be set off against the costs which the solicitor had been ordered to pay in the court below. -COUNSEL, Warrington; Bunting.

Re CURTIS & BETTS-C. A. No. 2, 22nd June. SOLICITOR-COSTS-TAXATION-DEATH OF SOLICITOR AFTER ORDER TO TAX -APPOINTMENT OF PERSON TO REPRESENT ESTATE-R. S. C. 1883, XVI., 46.

Two solicitors, C. and B., having carried on business in partnership, and C. being dead, an order for the taxation of costs was, on the application of a client of the firm, made on the 22nd of January against B. and the executors of C. A summons was afterwards taken out by C.'s executors to stay all proceedings under the order until a legal personal representative should be appointed to B. It was alleged that B. was dead. His death was not strictly proved, but an English newspaper, published at Buenos Ayres, where he was living, was produced, and it contained a statement that B. had died on the 21st of January, the day before the order was made. Kay, J., refused to stay the proceedings, but he appointed the executors of C. to represent the estate of B. for the purposes of the taxation. C.'s executors objected to be appointed to represent B.'s estate, and they appealed from the order.

THE COURT OF APPEAL (COTTON, BOWEN, and FRY, L.JJ.) held that an order staying the proceedings ought to have been made, and they discharged the order of Kay, J., and stayed the proceedings until further order, with liberty to apply. COTTON, L.J., said that there had been a series of blunders. Under the Solicitors Act an order for taxation could only be made against B., the surviving partner. The representatives of the deceased partner were willing to be present on the taxation against B., the supposed survivor, but the order was made in a wrong form. The object was that the representatives of C. should be present, that they might see that the taxation was properly conducted. The order ought to have directed a taxation only as against B., and liberty should have been given to C.'s representatives to attend on the taxation, upon their undertaking to be bound by it. It was afterwards alleged that B. was dead. If he was dead at the date of the order, the order was a nullity. But, if he died afterwards, an order ought to have been made to stay the proceedings, he being the only person against whom the taxation could proceed. The judge was probably misled by the form of the order which directed a taxation against the representatives of C. It was a mistake to appoint them to represent B.'s estate. It was wrong under rule 46 of order 16 to appoint anyone but the real personal representative to represent the estate of the person who alone was legally liable; moreover, it was wrong to appoint persons to represent the estate who were unwilling to be appointed. BowEN and FRY, L.JJ., concurred.-COUNSEL, Dunham; Eastwick. SOLICITORS, J. J. Chapman; Wright & Pilley.

COUNTY COURT PRACTICE.

Ex parte WATKINSON, Re WILSON-Q. B. Div., 9th June. BANKRUPTCY-VIVA VOCE EVIDENCE-PRACTICE IN COUNTY COURT. In this case a question arose as to how far the practice in the county courts was affected by the decision given in the case of Ex parte Kearsley & Co., Re Genese (34 W. R. 474, 17 Q. B. D. 1), by which it was held that an application to be allowed to give viva voce evidence ought to be made beforehand, and not at the same time with the motion upon the hearing of which it is desired to use such evidence. The case was an appeal from the Bradford County Court, and turned upon a question of fact whether a certain agreement was a demise of a shed with steam power, or whether the steam formed the subject of a separate contract. THE COURT (MATHEW and CAVE, JJ.) dismissed the appeal, holding that there was one agreement for steam and power, but in the course of his

judgment CAVE, J., said that it was necessary he should say one word with regard to what had occurred in the county court. The application in the county court was supported by an affidavit of the landlord, in answer to which there was an affidavit of the bankrupt. That being so, the landlord asked leave to adduce viva voce evidence, but the trustee in the bankruptcy objected on the ground that there was a decision of his lordship's (Ex parte Kearsley & Co., Re Genese) in which he had held that such an application ought to be made beforehand, and not upon the hearing of the motion. His lordship wished to say at once that that decision was not intended to affect the course of business in the county courts. The practice was convenient in the High Court, where he was sitting continuously, and where application could be made to him at any time. That was not so in a county court. Of course, if parties were taken by surprise, the county court judge would exercise his discretion and act as he thought fit. But the decision given was not intended to apply to courts other than the High Court, and the county court judge was quite right in the present case to allow the viva voce evidence to be heard.-COUNSEL, West; Forbes, Q.C., and Longstaffe.

On the 16th inst. Grand Night of Trinity Term was celebrated at Gray's-inn by a dinner in the old hall. The Duke of Connaught, the treasurer of the inn, presided, and among those present were the Marquis of Salisbury, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Herschell, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Macnaghten, Lord Bramwell, Lord Cross, Lord Romilly, the French Ambassador, the United States Minister, Cardinal Manning, and Lord Alcester.

"I do not expect you to believe it," says a correspondent, "but it is nevertheless the fact, that Mr. Justice Kay has signalized this Jubilee week by cracking a joke in court, or, at least, has uttered something which is considered to have been intended as a joke. In an action for the infringement of a patent for a spring mattress a model of a four-post bedstead of the old pattern was produced. The learned judge, addressing counsel, said, 'That bedstead is not new; Adam slept on one like that, or, at least, Noah did.'"
