A curious feature in the Cooper insolvency case presents itself in the fact that the title of Messrs. Coleman and Clarke to assu .ie the right of action, has not been questioned. We believe that while Mr. W. Maude lives and moves and has his being, neither Messrs. W. Coleman nor James Friar Clarke have the slightest legal right to take such action. Curious in all its presentment, this case ■will doubtless be quoted as a precedent in the future, and apart from the local interest excited, is thoroughly worth watching. Who in all the annals of legal blunders ever heard of such an anomaly as a Judge reversing his own decision ? Who ever heard before of a case where a firm claiming £40,000 from a man, have to go outside and purchase a debt of £5OO for less than half its value to adjudicate the man a bankrupt ? We are curious to know what the little game is. Knowing Mr, Robert Cooper we are of opinion that he has a trump card in his sleeve.
