fence has been rejected by the court of common law expressly upon the ground that "it cannot be dealt with there so as to do justice between the parties." The course of decision upon this subject may be traced in the cases of Prothero v. Phelps, before the Lords Justices, 22nd Dec. 1855; Wild v. Hillas, before Vice-Chancellor Kindersley, 3rd Dec. 1858; Kingsford v. Swinford, before the same judge, 31st Jan. 1859; and Gompertz v. Pooley, before the same judge, 9th Feb. 1859. These cases seem to establish that in the present state of the law it is competent for a defendant, after allowing the action to proceed to its termination without availing himself of such a defence, to file a bill in Chancery founded upon the same matter, and after a second investigation of the case, to nullify the judgment. This may be prevented without introducing any novelty in principle, simply by requiring the defendant, upon the first opportunity to put forward all that he intends to rely upon in answer to the action. Bill for a new Trial.-The alleged jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery to entertain bills, technically called bills for a new trial, to restrain execution upon a verdict and judgment, after the time for moving for a new trial in the common law courts has elapsed, ought also to be abolished, as tending to revive and continue a litigation already brought to a close in a court of competent jurisdiction. Courts of law have abundant authority to deal with cases of fraud upon the court and abuse of their proceedings. In other cases it is considered that the time allowed to prepare for trial, and to move for a new trial gives the defeated litigant as much opportunity to bring forward the matter upon which he relies, as is consistent with a speedy and efficient administration of justice. The protraction of litigation to a length bearing a large proportion to the ordinary period of life is all but equivalent to a denial of redress, and it operates with almost equal disadvantage to both the litigants. The cases in which such a jurisdiction may be applicable were always rare, and they have become more unlikely than ever to occur since the parties to a suit may be examined for or against themselves. Bills for a new trial have, for the reasons stated, fallen into disrepute and desuetude; but, as the jurisdiction is stated to exist and is an anomaly in our jurisprudence, we think it ought to be abolished by express enact ment. We have thus recommended that many powers exercised by the Court of Chancery should be given to the common law courts, and in doing so we have selected those only which seemed to us likely to be exercised there with advantage. It has not been our object to extend, for the mere sake of extending, the field in which the courts have common jurisdiction, by giving to the common law courts powers which may be exercised with equal benefit in the Court of Chancery, but simply to prevent the necessity for a resort by either party to both courts for the purpose of obtaining complete justice where the Court of Chancery at present, in the case of common law rights, gives, on the one hand, aid by way of discovery, or a more complete remedy, as by injunction and specific performance, or, on the other hand, restrains the proceedings in common law courts because of the existence of an equitable defence. Indeed, it is obvious that our recommendations, instead of having a tendency to extend the common field of jurisdiction, suggest a contrary and more effectual mode of putting an end to the contest between courts of common law and Chancery by so distributing their jurisdiction as to render their interference with one another impossible. It is our intention and wish, that the result of what is proposed should be engrafted upon and become part of the common law, and that the distinction between common law and Chancery law should be so far abolished. If, in addition to this, the Court of Chancery is prohibited from interfering in cases where common law rights are thus rendered capable of complete vindication in the courts of common law, and in which, therefore, its interference will have become useless, the greater part, if not the whole, of the field of conflict will be done away with by confining the operation of the courts respectively to subject-matters peculiar to each. Thoroughly to effect this it is necessary to confer upon common law courts power to give, in respect of rights there recognised, all the protection and redress which at present can be obtained in any jurisdiction, and it is upon this principle that we bave acted in our suggestions. If they be carried into effect there will no longer be the spectacle of jurisdictions imperfect in themselves and clashing with one another, but each court will be armed in itself with exclusive jurisdiction over the subject-matter within its cognisance, and with full power to give all the protection and redress which the law at present affords by means of a plurality of suits: the conflict of jurisdiction will be done away with, because the occasion for it will no longer exist. We have only to add, that we have given our best attention to the question whether it is necessary to adopt the procedure of the Court of Chancery in cases where it is proposed to borrow from its remedies; and we have arrived at the conclusion, strengthened by an experience of the working of the C. L. P. A. of 1854, that the desired object can be attained as effectually, and with less expense, by means of the ordinary proceedings of the common law courts. We have thus finished our task; and we submit this, our final report, to your Majesty's Royal consideration. A. E. COCKBurn. SAMUEL MARTIN. JAS. S. WILLES. G. BRAMWELL. W. H. WATSON. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Wednesday, March 21. (L.S.) (L.S.) (L S.) (L.S.) (L.S.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) Re GEORGE MONTAGU EVANS. The bankrupt was a solicitor of Farnham. This was an adjourned certificate meeting. Kays, for the assignees, did not oppose; Lawrance opposed for several creditors. Lawrance said, at the original certificate meeting the court had ordered an adjournment, with directions that the bankrupt should be duly served with notice of the present sitting, and be thus left without any ground of excuse for absence. Due notice had been given. The bankrupt was, however, again absent. It would appear from a letter of his solicitor (produced), that the bankrupt, knowing the animus of several creditors, was purposely absent. Bugley said he was instructed by a solicitor, who had received his instructions from the bankrupt's wife, to appear for the bankrupt. The COURT having overruled an objection to Bagley's appearance under such circumstances, Lawrance said he appeared for Mrs. Caroline Payne, a creditor for 16,000%, and five other creditors, to complain of the bankrupt having committed as gross a series of frauds as were ever brought before this court. The bankrupt, without having any capital of his own, had speculated in building to the extent of 20,000l. by means of using the moneys of his clients and obtaining for it only very doubtful security. In thus acting the bankrupt had been guilty of gross breaches of trust. Having absconded in March 1858, his affairs were left in a most unsatisfactory position. His debts, practically unsecured, now exceded 33,000l., the assets being 1500l., nine Chancery suits, seven of which were still undecided, and leaving, of course, after payment of costs, not a shilling for the creditors. Mr. Lawrance proceeded to state the circumstances under which the bankrupt had exercised influence over Mrs. Payne and got himself appointed trustee over property of the value of about 20,000l., and then sold out Consols and left the estate damaged to about that amount. A suit before the M.R., in which the bankrupt was decreed to pay a sum of 18,000l., was decisive as to this breach of trust having been committed. Altogether, Mrs. Payne had been a sufferer to the extent of 22,000l. by the bankrupt's grave misconduct, and not the least of her wrongs was the obligation to appear in no less than nine or ten Chancery suits. There had been the grossest possible malversation of trusts on the part of the bankrupt in other cases. He might cite the case of Mr. Pither. The bankrupt had acknowledged that there was no such person as Mr. Truman, to whom he had purported to advance 3007. on mortgage security for Mr. Pither. In fact, he admitted that he (the bankrupt) was himself Mr. Truman. The bankrupt had similarly wronged Mrs. Merriott of 1507. by an alleged advance to Truman. Next he had defrauded Mr. Varndell of 2751.; next Mr. Boxell, a labouring man, who had sold a small bit of land, all that he possessed in the world. It produced 1987. The bankrupt got possession of this money, professed to advance it on security, and Boxell was now left without a shilling in the world. Another labouring man, Robert Lawrence, had been similarly cheated out of 2404. In another transaction the bankrupt had actually cut the seal off a deed, the effect of which act was to commit a gross fraud to the amount of 7001., by making himself the first instead of the second mortgagee. Mr. Lawrance concluded by asking the court, both for the sake of the creditors and the public, to refuse the certificate. Thomas Boxell, examined, said he was a labouring man. Had a little property, which had been in his family for a century. Sold the property for 1902, and left the amount with Mr. Evans to place it out on mortgage. Evans said he would make a good use of it. Ilad not received any interest. Could not get at him. The 1904. was all that he had in the world. Was now dependent on his daily labour. Evans said he would lay the amount out on property. The COMMISSIONER.-Mind that the expenses of this witness are paid. Robert Lawrence, examined, said he was a jobbing carpenter. The bankrupt was his solicitor. Witness had a little property left him by his father, some five or six acres. Sold it and received 240%. Intrusted the amount to Evans to lay out on mortgage. Was to receive 5 per cent. Subsequently Evans said he had laid out the money. Witness asked him where. Evans said he was busy; he would tell him another day. Had lost the 2407. It was nearly all that he possessed. Robert Varndell, one of the executors of Mr. Egan, deposed to Evans having retained 4907. to pay probate duties. The duties had not been paid, and a robbery had been perpetrated. Mr. Pither, hackney carriage proprietor of Paddington, deposed to the bankrupt having been intrusted with money to let out, and which he said had been lent out to a Mr. Truman. The bankrupt had since admitted that there was no such person as Truman, and that he (the bankrupt) had appropriated the money. His HONOUR said the question arose whether the case was not one for the Crown Court. It could not, however, be finished to-day, and there would be an adjournment to Friday, at twelve o'clock. Adjournment accordingly. On Friday the 23rd inst. the further hearing of this case was proceeded with. A widow lady named Frances Merryett deposed to the bankrupt having advanced 270% for her on security, as she supposed, to Mr. Truman. The bankrupt had since said he was Mr. Truman, and that he would endeavour to find ber security. She was a creditor for the amount without security. Mrs. Paine, widow of Mr. J. M. Paine, deposed to the bankrupt having been her husband's solicitor and a co-trustee with him for other parties. Her husband, when ill, had been called upon by the bankrupt, who wished to see him alone. She reluctantly left the room. From that time she always thought something was going on wrong. When the bankrupt was in the room with her husband, who was very ill, one of the bankrupt's clerks was inquired for. A witness was wanted. She believed that it was at that time, when her husband was incapable of knowing what he was doing, that he signed a power of attorney in favour of the bankrupt acting for him as trustee. Her husband was at the time so ill that he would have signed anything; he was incapable of exercising his faculties. She had had to pay 18,000l. on account of this trust. By Bagley. She had paid the money, but it was very much the same thing as if she had paid the money on her husband's account. She came forward to oppose because she thought it a duty to do so, not less on her own account than on account of others who might be similarly situated-that they might not be cheated. Her husband was a man greatly averse to law. If he bad known a little more about it probably he would not have been deceived by Evans so much as he was. Mr. Potter, solicitor of Farnham, deposed to having acted as solicitor for Mrs. Paine in various Chancery and other proceedings, and to decrees in her favour to the amount of upwards of 18,000l., and which amount was unpaid. Mr. Potter proceeded to describe the manner in which the bankrupt had cancelled a deed, by which Mrs. Paine had been wronged to the amount of 2500%. His HONOUR said it was right the public should know of frauds of this kind, that they might be put on their guard. He would look through the evidence and give his judgment on Friday. Friday, March 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) Re THE CORPORATION RESTAURANT COMPANY. This was a sitting to decide upon a petition for an order to wind-up the above-mentioned company. It would appear that the offices of the company were at 73, Cheapside, and that the company was, according to its prospectus, to have a capital of 50,0007., divided into 25,000 shares of 21. each. By the articles the capital was to be 10,000l. in 5000 shares of 21. each. 1200 shares had been subscribed for, and 6007. bad been paid. Of these shares the petitioner held 100. The company purchased the lease of the premises the furniture and fixtures, for 4000, the company where they now carried on business, together with giving bills of exchange in payment of such purchase. These bills remained unpaid. There were also debts to the amount of 7001. Three-fourths of the capital of the company was lost, and a windingup order was prayed. Bagley, for the company, consented.

There was a post-office prosecution at these assizes, and Mr. Phillips, a gentleman who has been for many years connected with the solicitor's department of the post-office, and who has been in the h..bit of conducting those prosecutions on this circuit, was in the indictment-otlice, handing in his indictment to the clerk of indictments, when, to the consternation of those about him, he suddenly dropped to the ground. A medical man was at once sent for, but the unfortunate gentleman almost immediately expired. In the course of the day a coroner's jury was summoned, and an inquest held by Mr. Norris, the coroner, when a verdict of "Death from apoplexy" was returned.

The calendar contains the names of 27 prisoners, 1 charged with manslaughter, 3 with burglary, 3 with highway robbery, 2 with forgery, 3 with arson, and 1 with rape, and the remainder with offences of a trivial nature. OXFORD CIRCUIT. Hereford.-The cause-list contains an entry of three causes only. The calendar for the county contains the names of only 4 prisoners; 1 is charged with child murder, 1 with an unnatural offence, and 2 with larceny. The city calendar contains the names of 10 prisoners. Of these, 1 is charged with forgery and 9 with larceny. It appears the Recorder for the city of Hereford has fixed his sessions for Monday next; but, as the judges of assize are bound to deliver the gaol, the consequence is, that their Lordships will be obliged to try the 9 prisoners who ought to have been tried by the Recorder. Mr. Baron Bramwell, in his address to the grand jury, complained of this arrangement, which threw upon the county grand and petty juries the duties of the city juries, and required the judges of assize to discharge the duties of the recorder. town partially, and on the morning of the funeral WILL.--The testamentary law of domicil at the ried woman made in execution of a power: (In the Goods of Alexander, 36 L.

The plaintiff set forth in her petition that she was on the 29th of April last, and now is, the wife of one Reed Brush; that the said Reed Brush was, and for a long time hitherto had been, in the habit of getting intoxicated and drunk, which was well known to the defendant; that said 'defendant, well knowing the premises, did, on the 29th of April 1859, in violation of law, sell and deliver to the said Brush one pint of whisky, which the said Brush then and there drank, and with which the said Brush was made intoxicated and frenzied; that, in consequence of said sale, and by means of said drunkenness, and while in a state of intoxication, said Brush did furiously seize an axe, and, without provocation upon the part of the plaintiff, with force and violence cut off her left foot, whereby the plaintiff is now crippled. defendant alleged that the maiming, &c., of the plaintiff was the result of a domestic quarrel brought about by her unchaste conduct, &c.

The jury, after a consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing her damages at 5000 dollars. The The law Taunton, 26th March 1860. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES' LAW JOURNAL. NOTES OF NEW DECISIONS. WINDING-UP-CONTRIBUTORY.-B., resident in Scotland, and an original shareholder in an English joint-stock company, died in 1844, the shares still standing in his name. The company was wound-up in 1850. The name of B.'s executor was placed on the list of contributories, and a call made on him, which not being paid, the official manager applied (under sect. 89 of the Winding-up Act 1848) for an adjudication of bankruptcy in Scotland against B.'s estate. But it was held by the H. of L. that, as the relation of debtor and creditor never existed between the inconsistent: (Wryghte v. Lindsay, 36 L. T. Rep. 63.)

The other offences are of an ordinary description. WESTERN CIRCUIT. Devizes, March 26.-The calendar, though containing the names of forty-seven prisoners, is very light, there being, with the exception of a murder, no case of any consequence in it. The civil list contained one cause only. Mr. Baron Martin charged the grand jury, and congratulated them on the state of crime in the county. He said that he had never met with such light calendars as he had on these assizes at Cornwall, Somerset, and this county; for, with the exception of a charge of murder by a foreigner, who was a wandering beggar, and which might have happened in any county, there was He nothing of any importance in the calendar. attributed the great diminution in crime to the widespread system of education among the lower classes, and he hoped the gentlemen of the county would persist in that course of education among the class alluded to, which appeared to have so beneficial an effect. Bristol, March 29.—Mr. Baron Martin arrived CONVEYANCER. NOTES OF NEW DECISIONS. BOROUGH QUARTER SESSIONS. THE Profession having at present no means of ascertaining the days appointed for holding the various Quarter Sessions for Cities and Boroughs, which are held at uncertain times, we purpose to publish the list of appointments, in future, if the Town Clerks will favour us with the necessary information. The following is a continuation of the list commenced last week : SINGULAR AGREEMENT RESPECTING AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD.-At the New Town-hall, Dudley, before S. H. Blackwell, and J. E. Swindell, Esqrs., an affiliation case came on for hearing, in which John Hyslop was the defendant, and Catherine O'Neal the applicant. Mr. Lowe appeared for the latter, and Mr. Coldicott for the defendant. The girl made an application for a summons about a fortnight ago to call upon Hyslop to show cause why he should not contribute towards the support of an illegitimate child of which she alleged he was the father. Accordingly he appeared latey to answer the summons; but it was contended by Mr. Coldicott that the magistrates had no power to make a compulsory order upon the defendant, seeing that an agreement had been entered into between himself and the girl with respect to the maintenance of the child. The agreement in question was read, and the articles of it run as follows:-" Eve Hill, Dudley, Sept. 20, 1859. An agreement between Catherine O'Neal, spinster, of Albert-street, Dudley, and on the other part of John Hyslop, widower, maltster, of Eve-hill, Dudley, in the county of Worcester, made this 28th day of Sept. A.D. one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, I Catherine O'Neal do hereby agree to take of the aforesaid John Hyslop the sum of twenty-five pounds, in discharge of the payment and claim made in support of an alleged illegitimate child, born on the 26th May 1859; and I do hereby agree to withdraw the summons issued on the 5th September 1859, at the New Town-hall, Dudley; and I further agree not to bring an action on any account on behalf of myself or the said illegitimate child. I, John Hyslop, do agree to pay down 10%. on the above condition, and the remaining 15. in three calendar months from the above date, viz. Dec. 20, 1859.-(Signed) John Hyslop; Catherine O'Neal. Signed in the presence of Joseph Thompson, bookseller and stationer, Dudley." When the agreement was made the girl was not twenty years of age, and consequently Mr. Lowe contended that she was an infant, and quoted from Stephen's Commentaries passages in support of the argument that, being an infant, she could not enter into a binding contract nor do any legal act except it could be pronounced to be for her benefit, which fact should appear upon the face of the agreement. Mr. Lowe further contended that the agreement in question did not upon the face of it show incontestably that it was for the girl's benefit, as there were certain contingencies connected with it, such as the marriage of the mother, or the death of the child; and therefore it was one of those agreements voidable at the election of the infant who made it. The girl had elected to make the agreement void, because she had taken out a fresh summons, and therefore the agreement must be set aside. It was also stated that the defendant had broken his part of the contract, inasmuch as he had not paid up the whole of the money-51. now remaining due. On the other hand, Mr. Coldicott contended, on behalf of the defendant, that the agreement being made in good faith and for the benefit of the mother, considering the contingencies of her marriage or the child's death, and the parents having a knowledge of the agreement, the contract must be held binding. After consulting with their clerk, the magistrates adopted the latter view of the case, and dismissed the application for a new summons. CONTRACT EVIDENCE.-B. contracted with C. to build him a schooner, and have it ready for launching in Jan. 1857. The price was paid by instalments during the progress of the work, but it was not completed till the 28th March. In an action for damages for the delay, the defendant sought to prove by parol evidence that plaintiff had sanctioned the delay. But the Court held that time was of the essence of this contract, and being in writing, its terms could only be varied by writing. It was held also that the acceptance of the vessel when launched did not bar the plaintiff from his action, for the contract being for a special vessel, to be paid for by instalments, it differed from an ordinary sale of goods. The purchaser was in such a case entitled to have the subject delivered to him, and to get damages also: (Sutherland v. The Montrose Shipbuilding Company, 36 L. T. Rep. 61.)
