there be subsequent conduct on either side making a divorce possible. For this purpose the statute 22 & 23 Vict. c. 61, s. 5, is available, which provides for the alteration of settlements, whether ante-nuptial or post-nuptial, upon the dissolution of the marriage. It was settled in Worsley v. Worsley (1 P. & D. 648) that this applies to all deeds whereby property is settled upon a woman in her character as wife, and to be paid to her while she continues a wife, and, consequently, to separation deeds in which such provision is made. Probably, however, the court has power, of its own inherent jurisdiction, to make fresh arrangements upon a dissolution of marriage. Thus, in Morrell v. Morrell (6 P. D. 98), where there was subsequent incestuous adultery by the husband, it was held that the wife was entitled to sue for dissolution, and, as incident to the suit, to ask for new maintenance. See, too, Benyon v. Benyon (1 P. D. 447). But there is no such power upon a judicial separation merely. Thus, in Gandy v. Gandy (7 P. D. 168), where, upon the husband's adultery, the wife obtained judicial separation and the custody of the children, she was refused any further alimony, since no conduct of the husband had so affected her as to entitle her to repudiate the deed. This is an authority, too, for the more general proposition that the deed is not avoided by subsequent adultery on either side, not even when it is followed by a dissolution of the marriage, unless provided by the court in the manner described above. Thus in Charlesworth v. Holt (9 Ex. 38) the husband's liability to pay an annuity continued because not expressly limited by the deed, although its terms contemplated the marriage relationship continuing, for otherwise it might be terminated through the husband's own misconduct. The point was thoroughly argued in Fearon v. Earl of Aylesford (supra) on the ground of public policy, and the preceding decisions were without hesitation confirmed. Provision is frequently made for such a case by introducing into the deed a dum casta clause, but it was decided in Hart v. Hart (18 Ch. D. 670) that this was not a usual provision, and it will only be inserted by the court in carrying out an executory agreement to contain "usual provisions," when adultery has been proved against the wife.

As the deed is made with a view to separation, it has been held that its effect is limited to such separation. Hence it will be avoided by a subsequent reconciliation and return to cohabitation. Both these points, however, are essential. Thus the deed is not avoided by a reconciliation if the parties continue to live apart, as in Frampton v. Frampton (4 Beav. 287), nor by the living under the same roof, but in a state of the highest animosity, as in Bateman v. Ross (1 Dow. 235). When, however, trusts are created which may appear to look beyond a mere separation, it is best to provide for their cessation by an express clause if it is so intended. Thus, in Ruffles v. Alston (19 Eq. 539) and Randle v. Gould (6 W. R. 108), upon consideration of the whole scope of the deeds in either case, they were held not to be avoided by subsequent reconciliation.

It appears, then, that the law of separation deeds is more firmly settled than the judical dicta which we placed at the beginning of the first article would lead us to expect. On the question of public policy there is now no doubt, and, but for the remark of Lord Selborne in Cahill v. Cahill above referred to, there would be just as little doubt as to enforcing them equally against husband and wife. The wife's power to contract to live apart and to forbear from litigation is the same as that of a feme sole, but all contracts relating to her separate property are subject to the same limitations as though they were made with a stranger. The other points relating to the nature of the contract and its subsequent variation and avoidance appear to be equally clear, and the whole subject is an example of judicial law gradually brought into harmony with public opinion and established upon a rational basis.

Tuesday's Gazette contains a return shewing the number of receiving orders in the High Court, and in the several County Courts having Bankruptcy jurisdiction in England and Wales, gazetted in the quarters and nine months ending respectively 30th September, 1885, 1886, and 1887. In the High Court the figures for the three months were-in 1887, 204; in 1886, 197; and in 1885, 192. The corresponding figures in other courts were, 1,029, 969, and 890, the totals being 1,233, 1,166, and 1,082 respectively. For the nine months the figures for the three years in the High Court were 654, 643, and 606; in other courts, 2,990, 2,946, and 2,709; and the totals were 3,644, 3,589, and 3,315 respectively.

REVIEWS.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH ACT.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH ACT, 1875, ANNOTATED, WITH AN APPENDIX CONTAINING THE VARIOUS INCORPORATED STATUTES, &c. By W. G. LUMLEY, Esq., LL.M., Q.C., Counsel to the Local Government Board, and EDMUND LUMLEY, B.A., Barrister-at-Law. THIRD EDITION. By W. PATCHETT, Esq., Q.C., and ALEXANDER MACMORRAN, M.A., Barrister-at-Law. Shaw & Sons.

The last edition of this work appears to have met with the success which it deserved. Less than three years is a short period for the exhaustion of an edition of a work of this magnitude, and it is stated that the second edition has been out of print for some time. In the present edition the principal additions in the way of legislation are the Public Health (Members and Officers) Act, 1885; the Diseases (Animals) Act, 1886. These Acts are inserted in the text, and Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1885; and the Contagicus are fully annotated, with exemplary care to place before the reader everything illustrating the operation of the different sections. Thus in section 12 of the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1885, which, in the case of houses let to "persons of the working classes," alters the rule of law and implies a condition that an unfurnished house is reasonably fit for human habitation, there is a most exhaustive collection of cases shewing the effect of such an implication in the case of furnished houses. The appendix has had added to it several statutes, including many of the last session, which are all shortly, but usefully, annotated. The recent decisions we have looked for we have found very satisfactorily stated or noticed, and we are glad to be able to repeat our commendation of the care which the editors have bestowed on the book.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE COPYHOLD ACT, 1887.

[To the Editor of the Solicitors' Journal.]

Sir, The Copyhold Act, 1887, s. 6, to which you refer in your issue of to-day, appears to mean this: (1) That the lord shall not hereafter (without the approval of the Land Commissioners) grant any part of the waste lands of the manor, which prior to the Act he might (with the consent of the homage) have done; thus making not only the consent of the homage but also the consent of the Commissioners necessary to any future grant. And (2) that any part of the waste so granted with such double consent as aforesaid (i.e., any grant "lawfully made") shall not, as heretofore, be of copyhold tenure, but shall eo instanti be or become AS of freehold tenure (i.e., held As in free and common socage). As you are aware, by the Commons Act, 1876 (39 & 40 Vict. c. 56), s. 31, the lord's right to approve under the Statute of Merton was entitled by requiring the consent of the Commissioners; and so, by section 6 of the Copyhold Act, 1887, the lord's right to grant the waste with the sanction of the homage is entitled in like manner. After much consideration of the section, this is the only interpretation of it I can satisfactorily October 8, 1887.

arrive at.

THE DEEDS OF ARRANGEMENT ACT, 1887.

To the Editor of the Solicitors' Journal.] Sir,-Perhaps you or some of your correspondents could throw some light on the following point in connection with the above Act -that is to say, whether, where a debtor enters into a separate composition deed with each of his creditors, there is any necessity for the benefit of his creditors generfor registration? The words ally in section 4 (2) would seem to shew that this is a correct interpretation of the Act. If this is the case the adoption of separate deeds would be an easy method of evading its provisions. 8, Old Jewry, Oct. 12. ARTHUR E. ABRAHAMS.

CASES BEFORE THE VACATION JUDGE.

PETITION-TRUSTEES-REMOVAL-COSTS-BANKRUPTCY ACT, 1883 (46 & 47 VICT. c. 52), s. 147. In the case of Re Firth, Firth v. Clarke, before Charles, J., on the 7th nst., a question arose under the Bankruptcy Act, 1883, as to the removal of trustees against whom a receiving order had been made. The case came on on petition on behalf of beneficiaries under the will of Joseph Firth, asking that two trustees might be removed and others appointed. The deed appointing the trustees was dated the 16th of December, 1864, and it was alleged that about £2,200 of the trust funds had been removed. An originating summors was then taken out. On the 9th of September, 1887, a receiving order was made against the trustees. Section 147 of the Bankruptcy Act, 1883, provides that where a bankrupt is a trustee within the Trustee Act, 1859, section 32 of that Act shall have effect so as to authorize the appointment of a new trustee in substitution for the bankrupt (whether voluntarily resigning or not), if it appears expedient to do so, and all provisions of that Act, aud of any other Act relative thereto, shall have effect accordingly. On behalf of the petitioners reference was made to Re Adams's Trusts (12 Ch. D. 634) and Re Lawson's Trusts (29 SOLICITORS' JOURNAL, 115), where Kay, J. considered the Bankruptcy Act, 1883. Two beneficiaries were made respondents, and asked for their costs. The trustees did not appear.

CHARLES, J., made the order as prayed by the petition, adding that the new trustees, when appointed, should raise and pay out of the trust funds the costs of the petitioner and of the two respondents who appeared, as between solicitor and client.-COUNSEL, Brett and Gazdar.

PARTNERSHIP-RECEIVER-DISPUTE-PRACTICE.

In the case of Tucker v. Prior, before Charles, J., on the 7th inst., the question arose as to appointing a receiver where the existence of a partnership is in dispute. The action was brought by John E. Tucker, and asked for a declaration that certain documents and letters created a partnership between the plaintiff and the defendants, R. C. Prior and his wife, William Pyke, and Thomas J. Wickham. This was a motion on behalf of the plaintiff asking that John Groves Cooper, of Bideford, in the county of Devon, land agent, or some other fit and proper person, on giving security, might be appointed receiver of the Raleigh Estate, near Bideford, in the county of Devon, and the rents and profits thereof, and all other the assets of the partnership mentioned in the endorsement on the writ in the action. The property was purchased for building purposes. For the plaintiff it was said that the defendants excluded the plaintiff from the property, and had mortgaged it without his consent; the property was in danger, and he was entitled to a receiver: Lindley on Partnership, 4th ed., vol. 2, p. 1012: "The court will appoint a receiver if the defendant wrongfully excludes his co-partner from the management of the partnership affairs." That the partnership was in dispute was no bar to the appointment of a receiver where there had been misconduct. Section 25, sub-section 8, of the Judicature Act, 1873, provided that: "A receiver may be appointed by an interlocutory order of the court in all cases in which it shall appear to the court to be just or convenient that such order should be made." The plaintiff here had been excluded from his property, and the property had been dealt with and was in jeopardy. The defendants denied that there was auy partnership at all. It was an executory contract, and the condition precedent to the formation of the partnership was the completion of the purchase. This had not been completed because the plaintiff had not got the purchase-money ready. The mortgagees were in possession of the property and a receiver was appointed. Where the fact of the partnership was denied it was not the practice to appoint a receiver. The question of the existence of a partnership was the question to be tried at the hearing. Reference was made to Fairburn v. Pearson (2 Mac. & G. 144) and Chapman v. Beach (1 Jac. & W. 594). Here three persons in possession alleged that they were sole owners, and the plaintiff came and said that he was a joint owner with them. There was no ground for the appointment of a receiver; the joint ownership was in dispute, and there was no allegation of misconduct. Seton on Decrees, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 434: "If the existence of the partnership is questioned a receiver will not usually be appointed": Walker v. Hirsch (27 Ch. D. 460). In Lindley on Partnership, 4th ed., p. 1012, it was stated that where a partnership was alleged on the one side and denied on the other it was not the practice to appoint a receiver: Peacock v. Peacock (16 Ves. 49).

CHARLES, J., said that he did not see his way to appoint a receiver. A partnership was alleged on the one side and denied on the other; that was the very question to be tried at the hearing. There was a substantial controversy to be settled, and, in his opinion, no special danger was to be apprehended to the property. He should follow the practice as stated in Lindley on Partnership (supra), where a partnership was alleged on one side and denied on the other, and should refuse to appoint a receiver. The motion would be refused; no order as to costs.-COUNSEL, T. L. Wilkinson; Marten, Q.C., and Lemon. SOLICITORS, Indermaur & Brown, or Charles Smale, Bideford; Hepburn, Son, & Cutliffe. ATTACHMENT - ORDER - DISOBEDIENCE

TIME · COSTS-R. S. C. 1883,

XLI., 5. In the case of Dove v. Swindon, before Charles, J., on the 7th inst., the question arose as to whether a defendant, who, on motion for attachment, for disobedience to an order, raised the technical objection that no time was specified within which he must comply with the order, was entitled to the costs of the motion. On the 8th of July, 1877, an order was made

directing the defendant to deliver to the receiver in the action all promissory notes, securities, and documents. This order had not been complied with. This was a motion for leave to issue a writ of attachment against the defendant for non-compliance with the order. A preliminary objection was raised on behalf of the defendant that no time was mentioned in the order within which the defendant was to comply with it. The plaintiff should get a four-day order. Rule 5 of order 41 provides that, " Every judgment or order made in any cause or matter time, or the time after service of the judgment or order, within which the requiring any person to do an act thereby ordered shall state the act is to be done." Reference was made to Gilbert v. Endean (9 Ch. D. 266). In cases which involved the liberty of the subject the utmost strictness should be observed, and the motion should be refused with costs. On behalf of the plaintiff, it was contended that the defendant bad allowed an enormous mass of affidavits to be filed, and then raised a purely technical objection. CHARLES, J., refused the motion, without costs.-COUNSEL, Kenyon Parker; Archibald Brown. SOLICITORS, Geare, Son, & Peace, for Wake &

Two petitions were company might be wound up. On behalf of the first petitioner it was second petition should be dismissed, with costs, on the ground that the said that a compulsory order should be made on his petition, and the second petitioner must be taken to have had notice of the presentation of the first petition, the same clerk entering both petitions in the same office. The company and creditors supported the first petition. On behalf of the second petitioner it was submitted that he was a bond fide creditor, and the proper course would be to make the order on both petitions: Buckley on Companies, 4th ed., p. 225.

CHARLES, J., made a compulsory order on the first petition, with the usual order as to costs, and dismissed the second petition, without costs.COUNSEL, Marten, Q.C., and A. Chitty; Seward Brice, Q.Ó., Eustace Smith, Hilbery, and R. Woodfall; Kenyon Parker.

COMPANY-PETITION-CREDITOR-VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION-ORDER.

[ocr errors]

In the case of the Equestrian and Public Buildings Co. (Limited), before Charles, J., on the 12th inst., the question arose whether, where a creditor had presented a petition, and a voluntary liquidation had subsequently to the presentation of the petition been decided upon, compulsory or a supervision order should be made. This was a petition presented by C. A. Wilkes, a creditor for £1,000, and a shareholder holding ten out of thirty-seven shares issued, asking that the company might be wound up. There was also a motion to appoint an official liquidator. The object of the company was to give equestrian and dramatic entertainments at the North London Coliseum and Theatre, Dalston. For the petitioner is was said that the petitioner was a creditor for £1,000, he had made the statutory demand for the money, and the company had not paid him. Since the petition was presented a resolution to wind up the company voluntarily had been passed and confirmed, and a provisional liquidator had been appointed; but that was too late, the petitioner was entitled ex debito justitia to a compulsory order. A creditor for £65 5s., and one for £40, supported the petition. For the company, it was contended that neither as a shareholder, nor as a creditor, was the petitioner entitled to an order. Reference was made to the Companies Act, 1862, s. 91, and to the Rica Gold- Washing Co. (11 Ch. D. 36). The company wished for a supervision order, and asked that Wilkes's nominee should not be appointed liquidator. Reference was also made to sections 51 and 149 of the Companies Act, 1862, and the Horbury Bridge Co. (11 Ch. D. 109), the Great Western Forest of Dean Coal Consumers Co. (21 Ch. D. 769). A creditor for £100, and another for £64, also asked for a supervision order. A mortgagee asked for leave to continue his foreclosure action; reference was made to Buckley on Companies (4th ed.). P. 202, and Campbell v. The Compagnie Generale de Bellegarde (2 Ch. D. 181); the mortgagee's rights should be protected.

CHARLES, J., said he thought it was a case where he ought to make a winding-up order. He was satisfied with the position of Wilkes, as a creditor, supported as he was by two creditors. Two creditors opposed, but he had no evidence that the majority of the creditors opposed the petition, or that the majority of the creditors were desirous of having the voluntary winding up continued under the supervision of the court. Two creditors were in favour of a supervision order being made, but he did not see any reason why he should make such an order. He made the usual compulsory order, and the usual order as to costs. He made no order as to the mortgagee, except that he might add his costs to his security. He allowed the costs of another petition presented prior to this one, on which no costs had been incurred since the presentation of the second petition.-COUNSEL, Latham, Q.C., and Lemon; Oswald; Job Bradford; Millar, Q.C., and Baker; A. Wedderburn and Ryland. SOLICITORS, Curtis & Co.; W. R. Helmore; Vanderpump & Son; Thomson, Son, & Brooks.
