[Before his Honor Mr. Justice Bicumond]. In re assigned estate of Fleming and Murray, Mr. Pitt, on behalf of Mr. James Watkins, a trustee in the assigned estate of John Mclntosh, applied for an order directing the name of Peter Mclntosh to be removed from Fleming and Murray's schedule, and all future dividends on the sum of £1101 Is. 4d., for which they, appfar as creditors in the schedule, to be paid to the trustees in the estate of John Mclntosh. Mr. Fell appeared for Mr. Mclntjsh nnd for Peter Mclntosh & Sons, to oppose. Witnesses -were summoned and, evidence taken at great length. His Honor delivered judgment this morning, and snid that a telegram from Mclntosh to Fleming, directing Fleming and Murray to insert the names of Peter Mclntosh and Sons in the schedule instead of that of John Mclntosh, and tlie, fact of Mclntosh's having assented to the arrangement as their attorney had operated as an equitable assignment, from J'.hn Mclntosh to Peter McEntosh and Sons, of the debt due from Fleming and Murray. He would, therefore, dismiss the application with costs. Mr. Watkins was allowed his costs out of the estate, as his Uonor considered it a fair matter for investigation.
