The difficulty was to say what was a proper case, and he must exercise some sort of judicial discretion in the matter.

Now he considered there

CASES BEFORE THE BANKRUPTCY
REGISTRARS.

(Before Mr. REGISTRAR MURRAY, acting as Chief Judge.) Dec. 15.-Re Byrne.

Leave granted to a receiver to sell the residue of the debtor's stock-in-trade before registration of resolutions passed at the first meeting of creditors, the landlord having distrained and the auctioneer being about to proceed to a sale of sufficient property to satisfy his claim for rent.

This was an application on behalf of the receiver appointed under a petition for liquidation filed by the debtor, for leave to sell the residue of the debtor's stock-in-trade.

Proudfoot, in support of the application.

The debtor, William Byrne, a stationer and dealer in fancy goods, presented a petition for liquidation on the 10th of November, and on the 13th the landlord distrained for rent due, amounting to £147, but, in consequence of the representations which were made to him, he consented to postpone a sale until afier the first meeting of creditors. On the 7th of December the first meeting took place, but a doubt arose in reference to the result, and notice had been given of an application to register the resolutions. The landlord, however, would not wait any longer, and threatened to proceed to a sale. For the purposes of the sale a catalogue had been prepared of the whole of the stock, which was of a fancy description, but, as the auctioneer would stop when he had realized sell the residue, and thus avoid unnecessary expense. £147 and his expenses, the receiver applied that he should

were two guides for him to follow, neither of which were doubtful or obscure; the first was that under the Act the assets were to be distributed pari passu; the second was that by section 10 of the Judicature Act the Legislature had said that in the winding up of a company the Bankruptcy Rules were to be followed. But whether he looked at the rules in bankruptcy or under the Winding-up Acts, he considered the words of the section ought to be followed unless there was something inequitable in doing so. In Re Richards Fry, J., only professing to follow previous decisions, had held that a creditor who had been induced by the company to give them indulgence would not be allowed by such forbearance to lose the benefit which he would have had by active prosecution of his claim. The reason suggested was that because a company asked for indulgence they were to be in the same position as if they had got judgment. It was clear there was no such rule in bankruptcy, and he could not see why there should be more indulgence given to a corporation than in the case of a private trader. In his opinion that case was not a sufficient guide to him in his judicial discretion. As to the older cases they were well summed up in Buckley on Companies, 3rd ed., p. 185. In the case of Re Bustro & Co. (L. R. 4 Eq. 681) there was a sclvent company, and it did not appear to him to have much bearing on the case of an insolvent company. The next case was Imperial Steamship Company (16 W. R. 689). It did not appear that the company was insolvent, but Turner, L.J., was of opinion that the company had been guilty of the grossest injustice and fraud, and it was such an extracrdinary case that he was entitled to interfere. That case could be no guide to him in the present case. In the case of Relay Steel Company (L. R. 8 Ch. D. 183) the company was solvent, and the other cases did not afford him any satisfactory guide in the present case. As to the facts, he was of opinion there was no misrepresentation on the part of the compary, and that the creditors had simply been induced to hold over by the promise of the company to pay on the 7th of June. He saw no reason to deprive the petitioning creditor of the fraits of his diligence, and, looking at the state of the circumstances, he saw no ground for the exercise of his judicial discretion in direct contravention of the principles on which the administration of insolvent companies should be carried ont. As to the £100, he must treat that as paid to the agent of the creditor, after the commencement of the winding up, *rd the payment would be therefore void unless he otherwise ordered. The creditor had no notice of the winding-up, and therefore he was in the same position as a creditor in a case <tbankruptcy receiving a payment for value without notice of the bankruptcy. Under the circumstances he thought the <editors ought to return the £100 after deducting the steriif's poundage in relation thereto. There would be no order on the rest of the motion.-SOLICITORS, Layton debtor's property consisted of the lease of the premises 4 Jaques; Emmet, & Son.

BREACH OF TRUST-CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE-SOLICITOR.It a case of Show v. Bolton, before Fry, J., on the 17th inst., question arose as to constructive notice. The action was brought by the trustees of a marriage settlement to recover from some solicitors a sum of money subject to the trusts of the settlement, which it was alleged that the solicitors bad received with notice of the trust, and had paid to the basband. It was alleged that the solicitors had either actual or constructive notice of the trust, and it was attempted to prove constructive notice by showing that a deed of which they had notice contained a recital cf acother deed which, if it had been looked at, would Lave given them notice of the trust, inasmuch as it contained a recital of the settlement. But the settlement was nct recited in the first deed, and there was nothing in that deed to show that the other deed which was recited in it bad any bearing upon the purpose for which the solicitors were looking at the first deed. FRY, J., said that to impute constructive notice in such a case would te to carry the doctrine further than it had ever been carried before, and he declined to do this. And he held tha: the solicitors had had neither actual nor constructive Lotice of the trust, and dismissed the action against then with costs.-SOLICITORS, E. Hawkins; Bolton, Robbins, & Busk.

Mr. REGISTRAR MURRAY said this was an exceptional case, and he thought it would be for the benefit of the estate that the remaining stock should be sold. If a trustee had been appointed at the first meeting, there would be no difficulty about the matter, but the receiver, qua receiver, could not sell, and the resolution of the creditors had not yet been registered.

Application granted.

Solicitor, J. W. Proudfoot.

(Before Mr. REGISTRAR HAZLITT, acting as Chief Judge.) Dec. 17.-Re Rauhaut.

Leave granted to a receiver and manager to sell the debtor's furniture before the first meeting of creditors, a valuation having been made and an advantageous offer received for the purchase.

This was an application on behalf of the receiver and manager under a liquidation petition for leave to sell the debtor's furniture.

The debtor, a restaurant keeper in the City, recently presented a petition for liquidation, and on the 4th inst. the court appointed a receiver and manager of the property. The business had since been carried on at a loss, and a sum of about £60 was due to the landlord, and another quarter's rent would become due at Christmas. It appeared that the

where the business was carried on, fixtures, stock-in-trade and furniture. The lease and fixtures were subject to mortgage, and an advantageous offer had been made for the property, the purchaser being willing to pay the receiver £150 for the furniture. A valuer who had been called in stated upon affidavit that the furniture was of the value of £220, but that if removed from the premises it would not probably realize more than one-half that sum, and that the offer of £150 was a beneficial one to the creditors.

Brough, in support of the application, referred to a very recent case, Re Byrne (noted supra), in which Mr. Registrar Murray had granted a somewhat similar order; and to rule

county court to the London Court of Bankruptcy, it is incumbent on the solicitor to the petition to give notice of taxation of his bill of costs to the trustee; otherwise the London court will direct a review of the taxation.

This was an application on behalf of Messrs. Nevill & Atkins, of Tamworth, solicitors for the debtor, for an order that Mr. J. D. Viney, the trustee under the liquidation, should pay to the applicants the sum of £43 1s. 4d.. being the amount found by the registrar of the Birmingham County Court to be due to them for taxed costs up to and including the registration of the resolutions for liquidation. The debtor, J. C. Upton, a draper carrying on business at Warwick, recently presented a petition for liquidation to the county court of Warwickshire held at Birmingham. The applicants acted as solicitors to the debtor in the proceedings, and at the first meeting Mr. Atkins, a member of the firm, represented the debtor, and one of the principal creditors. By general consent the creditors appointed Mr. Viney trustee, and resolutions were passed for liquidation by arrangement, and for the transfer of the proceedings from the Birmingham County Court to the London Court of Bankruptcy; and the applicants were intrusted with the registration of the resolutions.

SOLICITORS' CASES.
COMMON PLEAS DIVISION.

(Sittings in Banc before GROVE and LOPES, JJ.)*
Dec. 20.-Re a Solicitor.

J. V. Austin showed cause against a rule obtained on the 29th of November, calling upon the solicitor to answer the matter contained in certain affidavits, or, in default of a satisfactory answer, to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls. It was admitted that the solicitor bad been employed by three sisters to effect a mortgage for them, and that the solicitor, one of the mortgagors, and the mortgagee, met for the purpose of carrying out the mortgage, but in his affidavits the solicitor asserted that on receiving the amount of the money, £250, less costs, from the mortgagee, he handed it to the mortgagor who deducted £5, and then handed the balance back to him [the solicitor] with instructions to keep it in his safe until she should name a bank in which to deposit it. Before the bank was named the solicitor applied for a loan of the money, which was granted, but he subsequently made certain payments on account, when he was compelled to file a petition for the liquidation of his affairs, and after his discharge he made further payments, reducing the balance due to the mortgagors to about £120, which sum he was anxious and willing to pay if time were allowed him. He also alleged that these proceedings were taken at the instigation of the mortgagee's solicitor, who was now acting for the mortgagors, and contrary to the wishes of the mortgagors.

Before the resolutions were filed the costs of the applicants were taxed by the registrar at Birmingham, and allowed at the sum of £43 1s. 4d. No notice of the taxation was given to the trustee. After the registration of the resolutions, Messrs. Nevill & Atkins applied to the trustee for payment of the amount of the allocatur, but the trustee objected to pay, on the ground that he had never received any notice of the appointment for taxation, and he also stated that he was advised and believed the taxation was irregular. At the same time he expressed his willingness to pay the amount of the bill, when ascertained by this court, upon notice to him, there being several items to which he objected. There was some evidence that an arrangement had been come to at the meeting that the registrar at Birmingham should tax the bill, but the trustee and the clerk to his solicitors denied being parties to it. Finlay Knight, for the applicants.-The objection of the trustee was that the bill had not been taxed by the taxing master in London, but by the registrar at Birmingham, The answer to this was that the costs ought to be taxed where the business had been done.

Mr. REGISTRAR PEPYS.-Ought not notice to be given to the trustee of the taxation?

Murray, in support of the rule.-These proceedings are taken by the mortgagors, and not by the Incorporated Law Society, who have, however, been served with notice. The money was not lent, but intercepted by the solicitor. It is true that certain sums have been paid both before and after the liquidation.

Knight. If items in the bill had been improperly passed by reason of the want of notice, that might be a reason for a taxation in London. Ex parte Davis, Re Davis (20 W. R. 622, 791, L. R. 7 Ch. App. 526), showed that the proceedings should be completed in the court of origin and not of transfer. The applicants were clearly entitled to their costs: rule 291. They had a right, before the proceedings were transferred to this court, to have the amount of their costs ascertained by the registrar who had cognizance of the facts, and it would be much more convenient that the bill should be taxed at Birmingham than in London. Section 80, sub-section 6, provided that, subject to the provisions of the Act, every court having original jurisdiction in bankruptcy should be deemed to be the same court and to have jurisdiction throughout England.

GROVE, J.-In this case the affidavits on each side depose to a different set of facts. The case must go before a master, who will report to the court in due course. LOPES, J., concurred. Solicitore, Walker & Field.

H. Reed, as amicus curice, mentioned an unreported case (Re Cullen) in which Mr. Registrar Murray, in May last, held, under similar circumstances, that the proper person to tax the costs was the registrar of the court where the petition for liquidation had been filed.

Knight.-No. 5 of the Rules of 1871 provided that all bills and charges should be taxed by the proper officer of the The fair construction of that rule would be, notwithstanding the transfer, that the proper officer of the court was the officer of the court where the business was done.

OBITUARY.

SIR WILLIAM MARTIN.

Sir WILLIAM MARTIN, knight, many years Chief Justice of New Zealand, died at Torquay, on the 18th ult., in his seventy-fourth year. The deceased was the son of Mr. Henry Martin, of Birmingham, and was born in 1807. He was educated at the Birmingham Grammar School, and was formerly fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1829 as a wrangler and in the first class of the classical tripos, and also as Chancellor's Medallist. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's-inn in Hilary Term, 1836, and he practised for several years in the Court of Chancery. He was appointed Chief Justice of New Zealand in 1841, and he held that office till 1855, when he resigned the office on account of ill-health. He introduced several improvements in the law of the colony. He drafted a new code of procedure which afterwards became law, and he improved the system of conveyancing. He also aided Bishop Selwyn in framing a constitution for the Colonial Church. He received the honour of knighthood in 1860, and, after the recovery of his health, he again took his residence in New Zealand. Sir W. Martin took a warm interest in the welfare of the native tribes, and he had acquired an accurate knowledge of the Maori language. He also co-operated zealously and liberally in all the missionary undertakings of Bishops Selwyn and Patreson. He was married to a daughter of the Rev. William Parker, Prebendary of St. Paul's.

C. E. Jones, for the trustee, was not called upon. Mr. REGISTRAR PEPYS, without deciding whether the taxing master in London had alone authority to tax the bill, held that it was incumbent on the applicants to have given notice of taxation to the trustee, and that in either case the bill must be reviewed. He said the only question was whether the bill was to be sent down to Birmingham again, or whether the taxation should take place here.

Knight said the applicants would obtain an appointment for a taxation in this court.

The application was dismissed, with costs.
