a case of Re Northern Counties Fire Insurance Company, before the Master of the Rolls on the 13th inst., an application was made in the winding up of the company for leave to prove for the full amount of a fire policy. The amount of the policy was £500, and the policy was current at the date of the winding up, which occurred on the 13th of December, 1879. The fire on the applicant's premises took place on the 22nd of January, 1880, and claims were required to be sent in by the 10th of April, 1880. The applicant relied on Re Trent and Humber Company (L. R. 6 Eq. 396), and on the fact that there was nothing in the Companies Act, 1862, or in rule 25 of the Orders of November, 1862, to take away their right of proof. For the official liquidator it was submitted that under rule 25 the policy-holder could only prove for the amount due at the time of the winding up, which would be for the return of his premium or a proportionate part of it, and further that under section 10 of the Judicature Act, 1870, and section 31 of the Bankruptcy Act, 1869, the creditor could not prove for more than the amount of his debt which he could swear was bond fide due at the time of the winding up, according to rule 67 of the Bankruptcy Rules, 1870, and form 32 of the Bankruptey Forms of 1870. JESSEL, M.R., said that even if the rules in bankruptcy applied to this case, which would seem to be doubtful, having regard to the decision of the Appeal Court that day of Re Withernsea Brick Works, he did not think that the affidavit required to be sworn in support of the debt would prevent the applicant from proving his debt, as such affidavit must of course be subject to adaptation according to the circumstances of the particular case. The difficulties in the way of holding that the proof was inadmissible were extraordinary. No doubt where a claim was contingent a man might treat the bankruptcy as a breach of the contract at his election; but there had been no election in this case, and, in his opinion, the proof would be admissible under the Bankruptcy Act, 1869. If the proof depended on the Companies Act of 1862, he should come to the same conclusion. Section 158 did not deal with the proof of any ordinary debt, and rule 25 of the Orders of November, 1862, only referred to the proof of claims coming within the 158th section. Even if this was a debt not proveable under the 158th section, it was still proveable under the general law, as there was nothing in that section to take away a right of proof. Moreover, in his opinion, the case of In re Trent and Humber Company (L. R. 6 Eq. 396), strongly bore out the above view, and therefore, on every ground, he thought the applicant was entitled to prove for the full amount of the policy, and he should accordingly make a declaration to that effect. -SOLICITORS, Gateliff & Howse; Clarke, Rawlins, & Clarke.

AND

VENDOR AND PURCHASER-COMPULSORY PURCHASE BY RAILWAY COMPANY "MINES BUILDING LAND MINERALS"-RAILWAY CLAUSES ACT, 1845, s. 77.-In the case of In re The Metropolitan District Railway Company and Cotton's Trustees, before Hall, V.C., on the 11th inst., the trustees were owners in fee of certain lands at Fulham, which antil lately have been used for grazing and horticultural purposes. In 1878 and 1879, the company, acting under the powers of their special Act, served the trustees with notices to treat for some six acres of their land. By agreement the question of compensation for the land taken and damage by severance was referred to a well-known valuer as sole arbitrator. He gave his award for a sum which amounted to about £2,000 per acre, upon evidence which valued the property as being, as in fact it was, of great prospective value as building land. No mention of mines or minerals was made upon the negotiations or before the arbitrator. The company, in taking the conveyance, insisted upon their right to have the words "including mines and minerals in and under" (the property) included in the parcels, their reason being that, although there were probably no minerals strictly so called, yet there were gravel and brick-earth, and a reservation by

the vendors of the right to break or undermine the surface to obtain these would be quite incompatible with the user of the land for building purposes. The 77th section of the Railways Clauses Act, 1845, provides that "the company shall not be entitled to any minerals under any land purchased by them, except only such parts thereof as shall be necessary to be dug or carried away or used in the construction of the works, unless the same shall have been expressly purchased, and all such minerals, excepting as aforesaid, shall be deemed to be excepted out of the conveyance of such lands unless they shall have been expressly named and conveyed

thereby." The company contended that, inasmuch as the whole assessment went upon the assumption of the property being building land, and as no land the minerals whereof were reserved could be utilized for building, the vendors must be taken to have expressly included the mines and minerals in the sale, and they took out a summons under the Vendor and Purchaser Act, 1874, to obtain a declaration that they were entitled to have the words in dispute included in the conveyance. The summons was adjourned into court for argument, but HALL, V.C., dismissed it with costs, saying that, in the face of the precise language of the Act of Parliament, and the fact that the minerals were not mentioned at the arbitration, there was nothing to entitle the company to the relief claimed.-SOLICITORS, Baxter & Co.; A.

CASES BEFORE THE BANKRUPTCY
REGISTRARS.

(Before Mr. REGISTRAR HAZLITT acting as Chief Judge.) Dec. 7.-Re Kraft.

New first meeting of creditors allowed where a creditor, who has verbally undertaken to become trustee, afterwards declines to act.

This was an application for leave to convene a new first meeting of creditors under an adjudication against J. M. Kraft.

J. Gatey, in support of the application.

It appeared that after the adjudication had been made the debtor applied to G. A. Smith, one of his creditors, to ascertain if he would become trustee. He said he was quite willing to do so, and at the first meeting the creditors passed a resolution by which they appointed Smith trustee. Smith was then asked to sign the resolution in order that it might be registered, but he said that before doing so he preferred to consult his solicitor upon the subject. His solicitor subsequently advised him not to incur the risk and responsibility of becoming trustee, and he then declined to sign the resolution; and in the result registration of the resolution had been refused.

Mr. REGISTRAR HAZLITT.-Is the omission to sign the only reason for refusing registration ? Gatey said that was so.

Mr. REGISTRAR HAZLITT gave leave, under the circumstances, to summon a new first meeting of creditors. Solicitors, J. & E. Scott.

OBITUARY.

MR. ELLIOTT SQUARE.

Mr. Elliott Square, solicitor, of Plymouth, died from the effects of a street accident on the 12th inst. On Saturday, the 11th inst., he was standing in conversation with a friend, when he was startled by the approach of a runaway horse and cab. He turned suddenly round, when the shaft of the vehicle penetrated his eye, causing injuries to his brain, from the effects of which he died on the following day. The deceased was the son of Mr. Joseph Square, solicitor, formerly of Plymouth, and he was born in 1841. He was articled to Messrs. Rooker, Lavers, Matthews, & Kelly, of Plymouth, and he was admitted a solicitor in 1866. He had practised at Plymouth for about twelve years, and, though comparatively a young man, had succeeded in acquiring a good business. He had a considerable practice in the Stonehouse shire and Cornwall, and was deputy-coroner for the borough of County Court. He was a perpetual commissioner for DevonPlymouth, and secretary and solicitor to the local Committee for the Protection of Public Rights of Way. He was an adherent of the Liberal party, and a leading member of the local Masonic body. Mr. Square leaves a widow and five children. His death has caused general regret at Plymouth. The Western Morning News thus speaks of the deceased;"As a professional man Mr. Square had won a high and well-deserved reputation, and death has cut short what promised to be a long career of increasing usefulness."

LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY. The weekly meeting of this society was held at the Law Institution on the 7th inst., Mr. G. H. Bower in the chair. Messrs. W. F. Beddoes and W. F. Barry were duly elected members of the society. Mr. Van Sommer brought forward a series of motions relative to the appointment of a reporter to the society, which were, after some discussion, carried, and Mr. E. G. Spiers was subsequently, by resolution,. appointed to fill that office.

The weekly meeting of this society was held on the 14th inst. at the Law Institution, in conjunction with the United Law Students' Society, Mr. E. G. Spiers in the chair. The subject for discussion was "That both economical and social reasons render requisite a change in the system of land tenure in England, and that no change can be considered satisfactory which does not embody the abolition of the law of primogeniture and of settlement." The debate was opened on behalf of the United Law Students' Society by Mr. B. T. Bartrum, who was followed by Mr. E. F. Spence in support of the motion, which was opposed on behalf of the Law Students' Debating Society by Mr. J. Nicholls and Mr. C. E. Barry. The following gentlemen also addressed the society:-Mr. Maclaren, Mr. Owen, and Mr. Robinson in favour of, and Mr. Van Sommer, Mr. Edlin, and Mr. Collyer against, the motion. Mr. Bartrum replied, and on the motion being put to the meeting it was carried by a majority of one-there being fifteen votes for and fourteen votes against the motion. There was a large attendance of members of both societies.

MANCHESTER LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY.

The fifth meeting of the society for the present session was held last night (Tuesday) at the Law Library, Crossstreet, when the chair was taken by Edwin Jones, Esq., barrister-at-law. Messrs. J. H. Payne and Rowbottom were elected ordinary members of the society. Mr. F. W. Roe Rycroft, lately articled with John Leigh, Esq., solicitor of this city, to whom has just been awarded by the Incorporated Law Society the Cliffords'-inn Prize, and a first-class certificate in connection with his final examination, received quite an ovation on entering the room, and to him and to Mr. J. C. Wilson, also lately a member of the society, who has gained a second-class honours certificate at the same examination, the congratulations of the society were voted. The subject for the evening's debate was as follows:"John Thompson, who has carried on business in Manchester as a merchant in his own name, sells the stock and good will of his business to William Smith. He recommences the same business in Manchester under the same style, and deals, though not upon his own or his servants' private or special solicitation, with certain of his old customers. Is he restrainable from so doing?" The hon. secretary (Mr. Butcher) opened in the affirmative, and was followed by Messrs. Winser and Schofield on the same side, whilst Messrs. Hislop, Read, and Cleworth supported the negative. The following gentlemen also took part in the debate: Messrs. Norton, Lowndes, Rycroft, Hardman, Rayner, and Innes. Mr. Butcher replied and the chairman summed up, leaning in favour of the affirmative, but upon a vote being taken that contention was negatived. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the meeting.

A correspondent of the City Press complains of the waste of time at the Mansion House. He says, "Professionally I have been in the court since the opening at twelve, and here we are at three o'clock waiting for something, but no one appears to know what. The alderman is not on the bench, the clerk's chair is vacant; but here we are waiting. What with the adjournments and other inconveniences, professional men will soon have to bid adieu to the Mansion House."

A correspondent of the Times says that in a recent issue of a local newspaper (the Clare Independent) he found the following:-"At a numerously attended meeting of the Clooney Branch League, Mr. J. Culligan in the chair, it was unanimously agreed by resolution that Mr. J. Molony, solicitor, be 'Boycotted,' and that the peasantry shun his office, for having lent his professional services to issue writs on tenants of Maghera."
