paid in part out of the proceeds of real estate. For several reasons there could be no right of retainer as to the proceeds of real estate. In the first place, the Act made real estate assets in equity, and in equity there never was any right of retainer. Again, the right applied, ex necessitate, only to what came into the hands of the executor, and real assets did not come into his hands. Further, the right arose out of the executor's incapacity to sue for his debt by reason of his being executor, and he never could have sued, if he had not been executor, in respect of the real assets under the Act. The mere accident of the payment of the specialty debts partly out of the real assets could not alter the rights of the parties, and the executor was bound, more than anyone else, by the rule that legal assets ought first to be applied in the payment of debts. The order of August, 1876, proceeded upon the right of the specialty creditors to be paid out of any assets which were available, and could not have been intended to enlarge the executor's right of retainer. The specialty debts having exhausted the legal assets, and the executor having no right of retainer against the equitable assets, there was no fund against which his right existed, and the claim must be disallowed.

CASES BEFORE THE BANKRUPTCY

REGISTRARS.

(Before Mr. REGISTRAR MURRAY, acting as Chief Judge.) April 9; May 7.-Ex parte The Trustee, Re Clarke. A company granted a lease of certain premises to H. H. assigned the lease to C., and C. mortgaged the lease by way of underlease to T., H., & Co.

C. having presented a petition for liquidation, H. gave notice to the trustee under liquidation, pursuant to section 24 of the Bankruptcy Act, requiring him to decide whether he would disclaim or not.

Held, upon an application being made for the purpose, that C.'s trustee was entitled to leave to disclaim the premises.

This was an application by the trustee under the liquidation of Richard Clarke, jun., for leave to disclaim the debtor's interest in certain leasehold property, under the Rules of 1871.

The original lease, dated the 2nd of December, 1875, was granted by the East and West India Dock Company to one Hill, for twenty-one years, at a rent of £300 a year. On the same day Hill assigned the lease to the debtor by a deed containing the usual covenants of indemnity by the debtor.

On the following day, December 3, the debtor mortgaged the lease by way of underlease to Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, & Co. for the whole term, wanting three days. The original lessee, Hill, having given notice to disclaim, under the 24th section of the Bankruptcy Act, the trustee made the present application.

66

Clarkson (solicitor), in support of the application. Latham, for the lessors, opposed the application, on the ground that, looking at the words of the 23rd section, that where the property was a lease," it should be deemed to have been surrendered at the date of the "order of adjudication," they would be deprived of their remedies against the original lessee, Hill. We are willing to give an undertaking not to sue the trustee, or make any claim against the debtor's estate.

Whitting (solicitor), for the mortgagees, also opposed, on the ground that, by the disclaimer, their sub-lease would be destroyed.

McSweeney, for Hill. Clarkson, in reply.

The following authorities were cited:-Smyth v. North, 20 W. R. 242, L. R. 7 Ex. 242; Re Wilson, 20 W. R. 363, L. R. 13 Eq. 126; Keed v. Harvey, 28 W. R. 423; Smalley v. Hardinge, 29 W. R. 554; Ex parte Buxton, Re Muller, 29 W. R. 28, L. R. 15 Ch. D. 289; Ex parte Brook, L. R. 10 Ch. 100.

A portion of the article, "The Effect of Disclaimer upon an Underlease," 25 SOLICITORS' JOURNAL, 423, was also read to the court. Cur. adv. vult.

May 7.-Mr. REGISTRAR MURRAY :-Before disposing of this case I was hoping that the recent case of Smalley v. Hardinge, before the Court of Appeal, might have been

reported, so that I might have seen how their lordships had dealt with it in their judgments. But, as it cannot now be reported for another month, I will no longer delay my decision. I am of opinion that neither of the objections is sufficient to induce the court to refuse the leave asked for by the trustee. As regards the lessors I intimated, during the argument, that in view of the decision of the Court of Exchequer in the case of Smyth v. North, I should find considerable difficulty in giving weight to the objec tion. I remain of the same opinion. If the point had been res integra, and unaffected by authority, it would have been my duty to have given it the fullest consideration, and to have propounded my own views in my own way upon the construction which ought reasonably to be put upon the section. But I am absolved from any such necessity, because I entirely concur in the construction given to that section in the case of Smyth v. North by the two learned judges, Barons Martin and Pigott. In expressing this concurrence I do so in all humility, having regard to the dissent and opinion in that case of Lord Justice Bramwell, and to the very strong terms in which that opinion was couched. But, it is to be observed, that that case was decided nine years ago, and that, while numerous cases have since arisen in this court in which the court has given leave to trustees to disclaim under similar circumstances-some of them to my own knowledge cases in which Lord Justice Bramwell's remarks in Smyth v. North have been strongly urged against leave to disclaim being given-the point, so far as I know, has never come before the Court of Appeal, and not a single authority has been produced by Mr. Latham which in any way militates against that decision. I do not forget that the dock company offered by their counsel to give an undertaking not to sue the trustee, or make any claim against the debtor's estate, as a mode of meeting the alleged difficulty. But, unless the difficulty is one which would lead to manifest injustice, would the court be justified in refusing leave to the trustee to exercise a right given to him by the Act, and in forcing upon him an undertaking which he is not inclined to accept ? He desires to have all the benefit of a disclaimer, and none the less because notice has been served on him by his assignor. I am of opinion that the exercise of such a discretion by the court would be inconvenient and improper. The same observation applies to the objection of the under-lessees, who desire that the court will only give leave to the trustee to disclaim the equity of redemption, and they refer me to a case of Re Wilson, in which the learned Chief Judge made such an order under what is said to have been precisely similar circumstances. That case is very short and I will refer to it. [The case and judgment were read.] It is quite clear that the particular form of order was in that case so framed, not at the instance of Pound, the mortgagee, who was quite willing that the trustee should disclaim generally, but at the instance of Simmons, the lessor, for whom Mr. Montagu appeared, and who probably was seized with the same kind of alarm which has operated upon the dock company in this case. What Mr. Montagu's arguments were the reporter does not tell us, but looking to the undertaking by which the order is prefaced they were most probably of a similar kind. Be that as it may, I only regard this case as an authority for the proposition laid down in the head-note. [The head-note was read]. There is nothing in the observations of the Chief Judge to guide me as to the grounds of his decision. observations are very short, and I will read them. [His Honour read them]. At that time, moreover, the case of Smyth v. North had not been heard, or the Chief Judge might have decided differently. I pass from this case to Smalley v. Hardinge. No doubt, if the law laid down by Mr. Justice Mathew had been affirmed on appeal, it would have afforded good ground for the sub-lessees endeavouring to intercept the disclaimer, and for their urging upon the some mode of assisting them out of the difficulty. But that decision having been overruled, and the Court of Appeal having, as I understand, decided that the under-lessee's right under such circumstances remains intact, notwithstanding disclaimer by the trustee, any difficulty of that sort is removed. I see no ground for refusing the application of the trustee.

court

His

In regard to the question as to how far the court would be justified in limiting or interfering with the trustee's statutory right to disclaim under the discretion purported to be given by the Rule of 1871, I would refer to the case of Reed v. Harvey, and to the observations of Lord Justice

Lush in his judgment as to whether that rule could operate to control the Act, or whether, to that extent, it would not be held to be ultrà vires. The rule is, as his lordship says, a rule as between the trustee and the court, and one might add also the creditors and the bankrupt's estate. Upon the whole, the order I propose to make is this. It is in the form which was very carefully settled some years ago, and it has not only been acted on by myself, but as I understand universally by all the registrars. The form of the order will be this. It will recite the lease; it will recite the assignment to Hill; it will recite the under-lease made by the debtor to the mortgagees, and it will recite the resolution, and the appointment of trustee, and, following the words of the statute, it will recite that, whereas part of the property of the debtor acquired by the trustee consists of the hereditaments comprised in the said indenture of lease, subject nevertheless to the indenture of under-lease and mortgage hereinbefore recited, and whereas the trustee has applied for leave to disclaim such property: Now upon hearing, &c., it will be ordered that the trustee have leave to disclaim such property.

Application granted.

SOLICITORS' CASES.

CITY OF LONDON COURT.

(Before Mr. COMMISSIONER KERR.)
May 17.-Gilbert v. Terry.

Terry, solicitor, applied for an order for a new trial in this case. He said it was an action brought against himself by Mr. Gilbert, surveyor, of Old Jewry-chambers, and tried before his Honour and a jury, in which the plaintiff claimed compensation for attending a trial at Westminster, and giving evidence as a surveyor on behalf of his (Mr. Terry's) client. The jury found a verdict for Mr. Gilbert, and gave him three guineas; but he (Mr. Terry) submitted that the verdict was against the weight of evidence, that it was perverse, and contrary to the direction of his Honour. There was nothing said by the plaintiff to make him (Mr. Terry) personally liable, and it was held that a solicitor could not be held liable for the costs of a witness unless it could be shown he went out of his way to secure attendAssuming that he was liable, he submitted the damages were excessive. A guinea was the utmost sum allowed to a surveyor gving evidence at a trial, and he contended that Mr. Gilbert would not be allowed three guineas in any court. He (Mr. Terry) had been forty years in business, and never had an application like the present before, but he considered there important professional principle involved, and upon these grounds he hoped his Honour would grant a new trial.

was an

His HONOUR said the plaintiff swore that the defendant went to him and told him he (Mr. Terry) wanted him to give evidence on behalf of his client, and the jury believed that the defendant was unwise enough to say a word on his own responsibility, and so found against him. If the two parties were agreed upon the evidence, he (the learned commissioner) would grant a new trial. He could not say that he agreed with the amount awarded, but he would not disturb the verdict for that.

Application refused, with costs.-City Press.
