SUPREME COURT.
IN BANKRUPTCY. This Day. (Before Edward Francis Ward, Esq., Registrar. ) MOTIONS. Re A. CLArrERTON.—This was a motion to set aside a deed of arrangement. V r Macassey appeared to support the application, and Mr Stout contra. Mr Ward, after hearing argument, said he had no doubt, upon the face of the deed, that it bad been filed for the purpose of delay. It was not to take effect till August 1 ; and in the meantime who was to have the control of the property ? Mr Stout was understood to interject the remark that it was usual in such cases for the bankrupt to retain charge of the estate. Mr Ward: But on the face of the deed there is no assignment of the property. Mr Roberts merely said he would pay 1 Os in the £. There was ample evidence in the affidavits filed to show that the deed could never be fully executed unless some of the creditors altered their minds; while they swore positively that they would not accept 10s in the .£. He considered he had jurisdiction, and had no hesitation in declaring that the filing of the deed was an act of bankruptcy. Mr Stout gave notice that an application for adjudication would be opposed. Re E. N. Legge.— Mr John Hollick was appointed trustee, vice G. McLean.
