Mr. Lewis said he was a creditor on the schedule, and applied that the defendant might attend the court on his adjourned examination, which was appointed for the 13th November. hundredweight, ton, shall no longer be ambiguous in (Novel and important application.) This was an application, made by Mr. C. Vallancy up by Stone, and was now in his possession. Goods had been received from the insolvent to the value of 241, but no more could be obtained from him. Upon Stone applying to insolvent to carry out the terms of his agreement, he had referred him to the court where the document was deposited, and stated that he had no power to act, being insolvent. Under these circumstances he (counsel) thought that it was just and right to call upon the provisional assignee either to carry out the agreement or return it to the creditor, as without it he could neither remove the insolvent, who had obtained possession of one house, nor claim the rent of the other, and the interest of the mortgage-debt not being paid, the mortgagee would foreclose, and Mr. Stone would lose his interest in the property entirely. HIS HONOUR asked under what system of insol- When he entered into the agreement with the insolvency the case was to be heard? Mr. Lewis said it was under the Protection Act. HIS HONOUR wished to know whether the court had the same powers to examine witnesses under the Protection Act as in prison cases? Mr. Lewis answered affirmatively, and produced the order of the Chief Commissioner of the court to the governor of the Holloway Gaol, which he had refused to obey, and the only remedy to get the case heard was by a writ of habeas. His HONOUR observed that the rule was settled in Mr. Cobbett's case that a defendant was not entitled to a writ of habeas to be present, but that as a witness he could attend. In the present case he thought he had power to order the defendant to be brought to the court, but not merely for his own benefit, but to be examined as a witness. Mr. Lewis said Mr. Baron Martin declined to grant the application he had made to him, as it was on behalf of the insolvent, but suggested that a creditor had a right to apply. He (Mr. Lewis) now applied in the manner pointed out, and apprehended that as creditor his Honour would grant the application, so that the case might be heard in the Insolvent Debtors' Court. His HONOUR expressed himself in favour of the application that a writ of habeas might issue for the defendant to attend the court and be examined; but before he granted it he would consider the matter, and give his opinion by simply granting or refusing the application. REPORTS OF INSOLVENCY CASES. Saturday, March 24. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) An insolvent having entered into an agreement for the Macrae moved for a rule upon the provisional as- vent, he had no idea that he was in insolvent circumstances, and it was in some sense a most dishonest transaction on the part of the insolvent. Although this application might not be within the letter of the 68th section, it was quite within its spirit and the intention of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS doubted his power to interfere. The Registrar (Mr. Ingpen) did not recollect any order of a similar nature to have been made by the Court. Caarten (amicus curia) referred to the case of Wells (suprà) before Mr. Commissioner Law, as being the same in principle. After some discussion, The COURT granted a rule upon the provisional assignee in the terms of the motion. Rule upon provisional assignee granted. March 29.-The rule was made returnable this day. The provisional assignee objected to the order prayed, upon two grounds: first, that the agreement was not in his possession, but was filed in the office of the court pursuant to the statute; and, second, that it was not an agreement for a lease nor a lease under sect. 50 of the 1 & 2 Vict. c. 110, but simply an agreement for the purchase of property; and therefore it was not within that section to call upon him to determine whether he would or would not accept such lease or agreement for a lease. Macrae, contrà, argued that the order prayed for was just and reasonable, and the principle involved in this motion had been sanctioned in the case of Wella by the Chief Commissioner Law. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS granted the application upon the authority of that case. Re EDWARD CHABERT. Arrest on mesne process-Jurisdiction to discharge prisoner-Final order. Held, that upon granting a final order, there is jurisdiction to discharge a prisoner who has been arrested and held to bail under the authority of a judge's order, and who has been again rendered by his bail to custody.

The circumstances of the case were of a novel character. The defendant, it will be remembered, was secretary of the Deposit and General Life Association, and was indicted at the Central Criminal Court by the company for embezzlement, and being convicted, was adjudged to eighteen months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in the Holloway Gaol. Before his conviction he had filed his petition and schedule in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, under the Protection Act, and obtained his interim order. When the day of hearing arrived he was in prison, under his sentence, and an application was made to the Insolvent Debtors' Court for an order to bring him up for examination, which order the Chief Commissioner granted. The governor of the gaol, however, refused to obey the order of the learned commissioner, as it was not sufficient authority to him. An application was then ground that the section only authorised the court to Reed, for insolvent, hoped that the prisoner having now obtained his final order, the court would order sion of the said agreement. Reed submitted that the court had ample power to make an order discharging the prisoner. Sect. 22 of 7 & 8 Vict. c. 96, enacted "that the final order shall he tendered would give material information. The Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS thought that section applied to the case of a protecting order granted under the 28th section. This was a final order. If an application were made to a judge at chambers he had no doubt he would order a discharge; but he thought this court had no power to liberate the insolvent. He would, however, consult Mr. Commissioner Murphy on the point. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS subsequently intimated that he had consulted Mr. Commissioner Murphy, who, being of opinion that sect. 29 was applicable to he should order a discharge to issue, this case, It was, however, intimated to the learned commissioner that an application had been made in the mean time to Alderson, B., who being clearly of opinion that a final order did apply to the case of a person detained in custody on a capias, had ordered him to be discharged. The order of the court for this purpose being there rity in all respects under the aforesaid Acts as the Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.-Yes; in matters of Nichols.-The commissioners have the same power of examining witnesses and obtaining who are believed capable of giving information respecting the property or dealings of the petitioner as the commissioners in bankruptcy, The commissioners are directed in cases of doubt to be guided by the practice in bankruptcy; and by the 245th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act 1849, the L. C., the V. C., &c., may take the whole or any part of the evidence either viva voce on oath, or by interrogatories in writing, or upon affidavit. His proposition was that in matters of insolvency this court possessed the same powers in this respect as the Courts of Bankruptcy. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.-This statute (7 & 8 Vict. c. 96, s. 5) states distinctly that we are to examine witnesses. The commissioner may compel the attendance of, and examine every person, &c.

The power is limited by the language of the section, which is "to examine every person capable of giving any information," &c.

This insolvent came up for his examination upon his interim order. Nichols appeared to oppose by affidavit on behalf of a large creditor named Mrs. Byron, residing at Lincoln. The learned counsel drew the attention of the court to the large amount of debts in the schedule without consideration, and in answer to the objection made by the court to the use of his affidavit, proceeded to con tend that it might be used in opposition. By the 5th section of the 7 & 8 Vict. c. 96, the commissioner was Affidavits rejected-Opposition disallowed. Monday, Aug. 27. (Before the Chief Commissioner Law.) Re WILLIAM WRIGHT.

He then paid the sheriff the sum of 1937. 68. 6d., the balance of the sum recovered by the insolvent, and upon an indemnity given by the de fendant in the action, the sheriff withdrew. Nichols showed cause on the part of the insolvent. He thought the rule ought to be discharged on the ground of certain irregularities; but if these points should be overruled, he asked only to reduce the sum ordered to be paid into court upon the ground that in The first the aggregate his debts were only 841. legal irregularity was to Mr. Roscoe's affidavit-first, that it was improperly entitled, namely, that it was entitled in the Insolvent Court, there being no such court, the style of the court being the Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors; and the second was, that it was sworn on a Sunday. In reference to the first objection, he apprehended that every affidavit must be properly entitled as of the court in which it was used and sworn; otherwise, perjury could not be assigned upon it, and that The court, upon the application of an assignee or creditor, security which was necessary for the truth and validity of legal proceedings would not be attained. will grant an order to hold and retain upon any perAs to the second objection, it was founded upon the son who may have in his possession any property be29 Car. 2, c. 7, s. 1, being an Act for the better longing to an insolvent which he may have acquired observance of the Lord's Day: (Evans's Collecafter his dis harge; until the court shall make further tion of Statutes.)

The CHIEF COMMISSIONER.-If he forgets to swear the affidavit on a Saturday, and he has to come here on the Monday, there must be a degree of necessity. After some further argument, Dowse replied. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER intimated that he was not disposed to give weight to the second objection.. Dowse.-Then, as to the first objection, it was the common and popular form of speaking of the court.

Costs Petition-Description-Signature. A man must petition in his right name, or the petition will be dismissed. This insolvent came up for his first examination and was opposed by Nichols, who directed the attention of the court to the description of the petitioner at the head of the petition, in which his name was written differently from his signature at the foot of the petition. His right name, it appeared, was "Ditfort” according to the signature, but his name was written "Ditford" in the description. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS. -The difference is, that the letter "t" at the end of the name is turned into the letter "d" in the description; but is not the name idem sonans? Va Nichols apprehended that the petition would not at present convey the property of Mr. Ditford to the court. The petitioner's name would be taken from his description. The Registrar (Mr. Ingpen) was afraid the protection granted would be no protection at all. Surgood, for the petitioner, feared the petition would convey no title to the official assignee.

Might Mr. Abraham suggest will then be much less heard in the houses; as his that, if the dog be moved into the back garden, he noise will then be shot towards the fields? Mr. A hopes Mr. Minty will not regard this note as an unneighbourly interference." As the nuisance was not abated, he (plaintiff) wrote another letter, the copy of which he had lost. Mr. Minty in his reply, said: "If you will inform me which cock it is annove you, whether the deep note of the Cochin, or the shrill pipe of the bantam (which, poor little fellow, when he trespassed on you, was nearly killed by your cock, whose note I really do not dislike), I will get rid of it. But with regard to the dog, as I procured him parposely for a guard, and, from my observation, be never barks excepting when there is a noise (either at I am, my dear sir, yours faithfully, W. H. MINTY" your gate or mine) I must decline parting with him. On this letter he had to remark that the dog had not ceased to bark; it had that bloodhound disagreeable "howl" which might be heard for miles off. It was a very loud barking dog; and the bantam had a shrieking noise. It came into his garden on one occa. sion, and was very nearly killed by his cock; but the noise of these birds did not depend upon the size (laughter) and this one, though small, gave a shrill, a shrieking crow. And it was always crowing. The day before yesterday he (Mr. Abraham) watched it twice for two minutes each time, and it crowed in each two minutes 13 times-(laughter)-and his servant had counted it crow 150 times in 25 minutes(laughter.) He would be bound to say it would do the same to-day. Now a bird like that was an in credible nuisance. Turner (defendant's solicitor): Are you sane? Mr. Abraham said they might think he was insane, but at times the noise of that animal was incrediblefew people would believe it. The plaintiff then read further letters, which he had written to Mr. Minty, complaining of his "roaring Cochin China," and of his very "loud-voiced dog," and suggesting that the latter might at least be placed so that it might "bark over the fields, or behind some wall." No notice being taken of these letters, he wrote another, which, however, he did not send. It was as follows: "July 29. Mr. Abraham (as he assures Mr. Minty) by the incessant crowing of Mr. Minty's cock. If is made ill, and incapable of continuing to write Mr. Minty persists in keeping the bird where its noise so completely overwhelms Mr. Abraham's house, the latter must quit it, however inconvenient. Even sitting in his room, with his fingers in his ears, does not secure him from the noise." His HONOUR gave judgment in this cause, adjourned from the last court for that purpose, as follows:The general manager and clerk of a colliery, who paid the men employed their wages, kept a provision shop, served the men with goods, and then stopped their wages in payment for such goods, with the consent of the men. He, after a lapse of some years subsequently to his being such clerk and subsequently to his keeping such shop, brings this action for a small balance due from one of such workmen, and the question is, whether such a course of furnishing workmen with goods comes under the probibition of the Truck Act; by section three of which it is "enacted that the entire amount of the wages earned by or payable to any artificer or workman in the trades or businesses enumerated (a colliery being one), in respect to any labour by him done in any such trade, shall be actually paid to such artificer in the current coin of the realm, and not otherwise; and every payment made to such artificer by his employer, of or in respect of any such wages, by the delivery to him of goods or otherwise than in the current coin of the realm aforesaid, shall be and is hereby declared illegal, null, and void." Now, were the goods delivered to the workman as payment of or in respect of wages? The plaintiff was the agent of the employer to pay such wages, and therefore stood in his place as regards such man with the understanding and upon the footing that the wages should be stopped in respect to them. That was clearly a mode of paying wages not actually in the current coin of the realm, and by this Act His HONOUR asked him to point to a local Act prodeclared to be illegal; and although it turns out that the goods were so delivered beyond the amount of hibiting the nuisance. If a local Act came in to pro wages, yet these goods having been at the time deli-hibit the nuisance, it was strong evidence that the vered in respect of such wages, and upon such illegal common law did not reach it. agreement, and for which wages would have been of such goods under such circumstances, in respect of stopped if earned to that amount, I think the delivery wages, is tainted with the illegality of the course of proceeding, and is declared null and void by the statute, and therefore cannot be recovered for as a legal debt. There must be judgment for the defendant. At this time, he could not make calculations for the noise. He was generally pretty accurate at calculations. Mr. Abraham concluded by saying, that as defendant paid no attention to his letters, he which he alleged showed the direction of the common cases decided in the County Courts of the Metropolis, law upon the subject, This was the day appointed by the court to hear payment, and these goods were furnished to the work- brought the case to that court, and he cited various The CHIEF COMMISSIONER having examined the documents filed, and being satisfied with the proposed sureties, dispensed with the attendance of the insolvent.

Re FANNY HAMMOND. Description-Order for hearing. Held that the description of an insolvent in the order for hearing must follow the schedule, and if not, that the order must be dismissed. This insolvent came up for hearing, and in the course of the examination it was discovered that there was a variance between the insolvent's description in the schedule and in the order for hearing. It appeared upon further inquiry that the insolvent's attorneys Messrs. Lewis and Lewis had filled up the order in the office, omitting an addition to the description which had been inserted. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, that the description in the order for bearing must follow the description in the schedule, and as it was not a correct transcript in the order it must be dismissed, and there must be a fresh service of the creditors for another hearing. He should, for the future, make it an CURIOSITIES. (From the Western Times.) A CURIOUS and amusing case was heard last week in the Exeter County Court. The plaintiff, Mr. Abraham, attorney of Heavitree, claimed nominal damages of Mr. Minty, inspector of taxes, whose house adjoined plaintiff's, inasmuch as during four months past and upwards he has kept a very noisy cock and dog in his courtyard, so close adjoining plaintiff's dwelling-house that their noises annoy and hinder plaintiff while engaged in his private sitting-room, in his lawful and usual avocations; and defendant, though requested to remove the animals to other parts of his premises, has persisted his claim for damages, Mr. Abraham, in stating the in refusing.

This closed the cross-examination, and Mr. Abr ham then called his servant-girl, who testified to having counted 150 crows by the cock in 25 minutes, and Mr. Tanner, who stated that in consequence of cock-crowing (not Mr. Minty's) he had lost two tenants.

They had also offered to refund to the plaintiff the full amount that he had in the transaction. Mr. Blackwell argued that the company had not fulfilled all the contract.

The committee beg to submit, for the consideration The rule of law with respect to the appointment of solicitors to the magistracy in England and Wales, will be found in the statute 6 & 7 Vict. c. 73. By the 33rd section of this Act it is enacted, that no attorney or solicitor shall be capable to continue or be a justice of the peace for any county within that part of Great Britain called England, or the principality of Wales, during such time as he shall continue in the business of an attorney or solicitor. And by the 34th section, it is provided that the prohibition last thereinbefore contained, shall not extend to any city or town being a county of itself, or to any city or town having justices of the peace within their respective limits aud precincts, by charter, commission or otherwise; but that in every such city or town attorneys or solicitors may be capable of being justices of the peace. THE Exeter magistrates have just made a regulation The County Court system is a great boon, but it is not without its drawbacks. The fees are generally complained of as excessive, and we do not see why that class of expenses which, in the Superior Courts, is paid by the State, should not be so paid in these inferior, but not less useful courts.-Woolmer's Gazette. LIABILITY OF ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANIES -At the Co. C. of Northumberland, held at Newcastle, a fortnight ago, before James Losh, Esq., judge' The eligibility, therefore, of attorneys and solicitors to be appointed to the magistracy in cities and towns, is distinctly recognised by the Legislature, whilst they are excluded in the counties; but your committee have been unable to discover any reason why, if they be qualified in the one case, they should not be in the other. The committee have lately directed circulars to be Under these circumstances, it is difficult to under stand what just ground there can be for the rule adopted by the Lord Chancellor to exclude the entire Profession from the office of magistrate in cities and boroughs, for which he certainly has not any legis lative sanction. It may, however, be conceded that an attorney appointed to the office of magistrate, ought not, either directly or indirectly, to practise in any general or petty sessions' business arising within the jurisdiction for which he is appointed, and it is well known that many solicitors of respectability undertake very little, if any, business of that description, and would very readily relinquish it altogether. in The committee, therefore, think that the Profession ought to seek for a legislative enactment, rendering the members of it generally eligible for the office of magistrate, not only in cities and boroughs, but also counties-accompanied by an express prohibition against their acting professionally in general or petty sessions' business in the districts for which they act as magistrates. This course would meet with every objection that could be justly made, on public grounds, to the appointment of solicitors, and would make the rule of law, with respect to them, very similar to what is now the case in Scotland. In Scotland, advocates, writers to the signet, and solicitors in the supreme courts (who do not practice before justices of the peace), may be appointed provosts and magistrates, and are frequently so appointed; and as such are justices of the peace by virtue of their offices, they may also be appointed, individually, justices of the peace, and are so appointed frequently; the only general disqualification is introduced in the Small Debts Act, 6 Geo. 4, c. 48, s. 27, by which it is declared that no solicitor or procurator in any inferior court in Scotland, shall act as justice of the peace in any county in Scotland, during such time as such solicitor or procurator shall practice as such in any inferior court. The disqualification extends, there fore, only to practitioners in the inferior courts. With respect to Ireland, the committee find that there is no disqualification of solicitors to act as magistrates in counties similar to that contained in the & 7 Vict. c. 73. In several instances they have been appointed mayors or chief officers of cities and boroughs, and in such capacity have acted as magistrates. It has, however, been the practice to exclude them from commissions of the peace, although there is no legislative sanction whatever for such exclusion. It is well known that in appointing the magistrates addressed to the town-clerks of all the cities and for the cities and boroughs of England and Wales, boroughs in England and Wales, for the purpose of the Lord Chancellor so far pays a deference to public ascertaining the particulars relating to the magistracy opinion, as to call upon the town councils to recomin those places, which they were instructed by the mend the proper parties to be inserted in the comresolution of the general meeting to obtain, and they mission of the peace, yet in the case of solicitors, he have received the desired information from the greater treats such recommendation with disregard; and part of them, which has been furnished with great your committee cannot conclude their report without readiness and courtesy. They regret, however, that expressing the belief that this exclusion arises more from 35 places they have not received replies. from a jealousy, on the part of official persons, of the In the 148 cities and boroughs from which informa-influence of solicitors, than from considerations of the tion has been received, the committee find the follow-public good, and the same feeling has been evinced in the exclusion of their Profession, from bankruptcy, ing result:and lunacy commissionerships, County Court judgeships, &c., which offices many of its members are as competent to fill as the parties who have been ap pointed.
