The trustee was appointed, and, unfortunately, although the property in question was of small value, the lease had only one year to run. The trustee having been appointed, found the trade fixtures upon the premises, and he did what he had a perfect right to do-he disannexed the fixtures. It was not only a lawful act, but it was an act which it was his duty to do, because it was his duty to do the best for the estate, and to make the fixtures available for the purposes of the estate. In a case like the present, the debtor, before he filed his petition for liquidation, could remove the fixtures. After he had filed his petition, if an execution had been issued against him under which the fixtures had been seized by the sheriff, they could have been sold to a purchaser, and the purchaser would have had a right to disannex them. The landlord could not interfere, because it was a right which the tenant had. In Ex parte Brooke this state of things arose. The trustee having disannexed disclaimed, and the court held that according to legal logic, the logic upon which Ex parte Stephens was founded, and the trustee relied, whether the trade fixtures were removed before or after the appointment, made no difference. Living as he (the learned judge) did in a district where he could not fail judicially to know that an enormous amount of valuable trade assets to which creditors had a right to look existed in the form of trade fixtures, which merely became fixtures by a legal technicality, which it was difficult for men of business to comprehend, namely, by having a pin stuck in to steady them in working, his decision would amount to the confiscation of tens of thousands of pounds worth of property, clearly divisible among creditors, and in which the landlords had no shadow of a pretence for claiming any interest. They did not supply the machinery; they had done nothing towards giving themselves an interest in the machinery; they got it by legal logic. It seemed to him that if legal logic would protect trade, the courts-at least the inferior courts-were justified in resorting to legal logic for the purpose of protecting the interests of trade creditors. The Court of Appeal was most valuable, but even there there must be some delay in decisions. He observed that when the case of Ex parte Brooke was brought before the Chief Judge he seemed to think that it was too clear for argument. The trustee in that case was right. The decision of the Chief Judge was pronounced on the 29th of July. The judgment of the Court of Appeal was not pronounced till the 12th of December. If any unfortunate trustee had had to deal with those fixtures between the 29th of July and the 12th of December, it would have been his duty to have followed the decision of the Chief Judge. He would have been guilty of neglect if he had not done so. He would have been bound to have disannexed the machinery; to have made the best for the estate. He would not have been justified in following the decision of the county court judge at Halifax. His guide would have been the decision of the Chief Judge on appeal. If any unfortunate trustee between the 29th of July and the 12th of December had done his duty, mark what the consequences would have been. He would have been personally liable for all the consequences which resulted from obeying the law in the only form in which he could ascertain the law which it was his duty to obey. Considering that those consequences so unjust to creditors, SO unreasonably unjust towards landlords would be the consequences of allowing the decision in Brooke v. Roberts to operate, it seemed to him that he was justified in taking a course which according to his view was according to law, and would prevent the injustice which would result from allowing the fixtures to remain so as to be operated upon by that decision. He was the more inclined to do so because he could not help thinking that some doubt crossed the judicial mind when the judgment in that case was prepared. Landlords built their mills; they had there their shafting; their room and power were costly. How were they to make all applicable but by inviting people to bring machinery into the mills? For the law to say that that machinery was to be the subject of confiscation in the event of insolvency seemed to him to be a result which the court ought to be careful to avoid. Therefore, as far as that court had any authority in the matter, he gave power to the receiver to act in concurrence with the debtor in disannexing such trade machinery as be, according to his contract with the landlord, would be entitled to disannex; he undertaking not to remove it until after the meeting of creditors had been held. It was

Both civil and criminal business will be tried at these assizes.

In a case of Re the Will of the late Thomas Vurdon, before the Probate Division on Tuesday, it was stated by counsel that the testator called on a firm of solicitors in Liverpool with his will, and made certain alterations. The will was left, the deceased given a memorandum concerning it, and it was handed to the clerk in charge of the safe, and placed by him in that receptacle. It could not now be found, and the theory advanced by one of the firm is that it was destroyed with the wills of a person whose name was very like that of the testator. That gentleman made several wills, and when a new one was executed the old one was destroyed. Sir James Hannen considered that a probable theory, and as it was shown that the deceased was sane, that he did not take the will away with him, and that the copy before the court expressed its contents, he found for the script, which leaves the property to the widow and children in question.
