as her representative, did not admit assets to pay what should be found due from her estate to the husband's estate. On the 28th February, 1885, V. moved for judgment. There was no evidence before the court that Mrs. Y. was indebted to her husband's estate, or that she had been guilty of wilful neglect and default. R., by his counsel, admitted that she was so indebted, and he submitted to a judgment directing an account of

Death of Appellant after Appeal set down-personal estate of the husband which she had Order of Revivor.]-A defendant, P., gave notice of appeal from a judgment, and set it down. After this he died, and his executrix obtained an order of course at the Rolls that the appeal might be carried on and prosecuted by her in like manner as it might have been carried on and prosecuted by P. if he had not died :-Held, that the order was sufficient, and that the executrix was entitled to proceed with the appeal.

Leave to Appeal to Person not Party-How Obtained.]-Leave to appeal from an order to a person interested in, but not a party to an action, may be obtained by an ex parte application to the Court of Appeal. Markham, In re, Markham v. Markham, 16 Ch. D. 1; 29 W. R. 228-C. A.

balances in her hands, and directing adminis-
information R. had received, he felt sure that
It appeared that, from
Mrs. Y. would be found a debtor to her husband's
estate, and that wilful default would be estab-
lished against her, and that it was not advisable
at the hearing. D., on the 26th of June, 1885,
to incur the expense of contesting these points
moved before Pearson, J., under Ord. XVI. r. 40,
to discharge or vary the judgment of February,
1885. This motion was refused on the ground
that D. had not been served with the judgment.
D. appealed from this refusal, and also applied
for leave to appeal from the judgment:-Held,
that leave cannot be given to a residuary legatee
to appeal from a decree made against the exe-
cutor at the suit of a creditor, as the executor
completely represents the estate for the purposes
of such a suit, and the residuary legatee could
not be made a party to the suit, and the case is
quite different from one where leave to appeal is
applied for by a person who, though not according
to the present practice a necessary party to the
suit, would have been a proper party to it.
Held, further, that the application of June, 1885,
to vary the judgment, was not supported by Ord.
XVI. r. 40, the case not falling within that rule,
which only applies to cases were service of an
order is necessary in order to make it binding,
whereas here the order was binding without ser-
vice, and D. was not a proper person to be
served. Youngs, In re, Doggett v. Revett, 30
Ch. D. 421; 53 L. T. 682; 33 W. R. 880-C. A.

Person in Contempt.]-An agent being prosecuted for contempt in disobeying an order of which he had no notice, may join in an appeal from that order, though no party to the cause in which the order was made. Stone v. Byrne, 5 Bro. P. C. 213.

party cannot, even if bound or aggrieved by the order, appeal without leave against an order sanctioning a scheme of arrangement under the Joint Stock Companies Arrangement Act, 1870.

Upon answers being returned to the first-mentioned inquiries a further inquiry was ordered. Against this order the residuary legatee appealed.

In formâ pauperis.]-Where a party who has not sued or defended as a pauper in the court below, applies for leave to appeal in forma pauperis, the court will follow by analogy Ord. XVI. rr. 22, 23, and 24, and not the old practice as to such appeals. A married woman suing without a next friend, her husband not being a party,

The trustee claimed to be indemnified by a third party whom he served with a third party notice; the defendant was held not liable, and the plaintiff appealed, but did not serve the third party with notice of the appeal :-Held, that the third party was not party directly affected by the appeal within Ord. LVIII. r. 2, and therefore it was not the duty of the plaintiff to serve the third party with notice of the appeal, but that the defendant ought before the hearing of the appeal to have applied to the Court of Appeal for leave to serve the third party with notice. Salmon, In re, Priest v. Uppleby, 42 Ch. D. 351; 61 L. T. 146; 38 W. R. 150-C. A.

Case Stated by Sessions.]—A judgment given. by the Queen's Bench Division on a case stated by quarter sessions under 12 & 13 Vict. c. 45,. s. 11, is an interlocutory and not a final order.

Order in Administration Action.]—Although an order made on a summons by a creditor in an administration action is considered as interlocutory for the purpose of determining

the time within which an appeal must be brought, for other purposes it is a final order, and therefore fresh evidence cannot be given on the appeal without the special leave of the court. Compton, In re, Norton v. Compton, 27 Ch. D. 392; 51 L. T. 277; 33 W. R. 160-C. A.

LVIII. r. 15, and that an appeal must be brought within twenty-one days. Pheysey v. Pheysey, 12 Ch. D. 305; 41 L. T. 607-C. A.

Order Depriving of Costs.]-The plaintiffs after a trial with a jury recovered 57., and the judge at the trial ordered judgment for that sum, but without costs.

Lancashire and Yorkshire Ry., 50 L. J., Q. B. 318; 7 Q. B. D. 641; 44 L. T. 239; 29 W. R. 580-C. A.

Originating Summons.]—An originating summons taken out under Ord. XV. r. 3, is a civil proceeding commenced otherwise than by writ in manner prescribed by a rule of court, and is consequently an action within the definition of that word in s. 100 of the Judicature Act, 1873. Therefore an order made upon such a summons is appealable at any time within one year from its date. Fawsitt, In re, Galland v. Burton, 54 L. J., Ch. 1131; 55 L. J., Ch. 568; 30 Ch. D. 231; 53 L. T. 271; 34 W. R. 26-C. A. An originating summons under Ord. LV. r. 3, is an action within the meaning of the Judicature Act, 1873, s. 100, and therefore it is not a "matter not being an action" within Ord. LVIII. r. 15. An appeal, therefore, can be brought from an order made on such a summons within a year from the date of the order. Vardon's Trusts, In re, 55 L. J., Ch. 259—C. A.

Order on Further Consideration and on Summons to Vary Certificate.]-Where an order was made on further consideration and another order separate in form was made the same day dismissing a summons to vary the certificate on which the order on further consideration was made, and the two orders were separately drawn up on consecutive days :-Held, that there was in substance only one order, and consequently that Ord. LVIII. r. 15 (a), applied, and that the time for appealing would be the same as the time for appealing against the order on further consideration. The object of that rule was to get rid of the anomaly of having two different periods of time for appealing where a summons to vary and further consideration were heard together. Marsland v. Hole, 40 Ch. D. 110; 59 L. T. 593; 37 W. R. 81—C. A.

Goods seized in execution were claimed by the trustees of a settlement made by the debtor.

G. claimed a lien upon those costs for his costs as L.'s solicitor in the first-mentioned action. The court made an order allowing the set-off, but as regards the costs in the secondly mentioned action subject to any lien G. could make out before the taxingmaster for his costs in the firstly mentioned action. G. appealed-Held, that as regards time for appealing, the order was interlocutory and not final, being only an order for working out the rights given by a final judgment. Blakey v. Latham, 43 Ch. D. 23; 38 W. R. 193—C. A.

Case Stated by Revenue Commissioners.]The decision of a divisional court upon a case stated by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue under s. 19 of the Stamp Act, 1870, is an "order," and not a "judgment," and an appeal from such decision to the Court of Appeal must be brought within twenty-one days.
