2. The proceeds of sale of mortgaged premises, sold under the power of sale in a mortgage deed by the trustees of the mortgagee, were paid into Court in a suit for the administration of the mortgagee's estate; and there being nearly twenty years' arrears of interest due on the mortgage, exceeding in amount the fund in Court, the trustees petitioned for payment out of the fund to satisfy such arrears, and the assignee of the mortgagor was served with the Petition:

Held, that the Petition was not a suit to recover arrears of interest within the 42nd section of the statute, 3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 27; and, therefore, that the mortgagee's trustees were entitled to more than six years' arrears of interest, and the fund was ordered to be paid

over to them.

STOPPAGE IN TRANSITU.

Goods were shipped by the vendor on board of a general ship, belonging to a firm of which the purchaser was a member, and registered in the purchaser's name.

Three parts of the bill of lading (by which the goods were deliverable at Goole to the purchaser or assigns) were handed to the vendor, and the fourth part retained by the master:

Held, that the delivery on board was not delivery to the purchaser, so as to preclude stoppage in transitu before the delivery of the goods at Goole.

SUCCESSION DUTY ACT (16 & 17 VICT. c. 51, ss. 8, 51). Where trustees for sale under a will, who have entered into a contract with a purchaser, and paid legacy duty on the amount of the purchase-money, afterwards vest the estate in the person to whom (subject to the trust), the land is devised, whereby he becomes the proper party to convey, such legacy duty is properly paid, and no new contract is created whereby succession duty becomes payable.

A certificate from the Inland Revenue Office, that the duty is paid in respect of the land contracted to be sold, discharges a purchaser, and no particular form of certificate can be required by a purchaser under the Succession Duty Act, 1853, c. 51 s. 51. Earl Howe v. Earl of Lichfield. 641

On a case submitted to the Court by trustees as to certain questions arising between the equitable tenant for life and the remainderman in the management of the estate :

TRADE MARK.

The Plaintiff being a thread manufacturer of repute, the Defendant bought in the market thread, wound on spools, not made by the Plaintiff, of inferior quality, and cheaper than his, and not bearing his name, but marked with the name of a firm of winders of thread who were known to be accustomed to purchase of the Plaintiff thread in the hank for the purpose of winding, and selling it when wound. Defendant sold the goods to a wholesale customer, with the assurance (given, as he said, without knowledge of any misrepresentation) that they were of the Plaintiff's make, and invoiced them to the customer under the description of certain numbers, which the Plaintiff had adopted and exclusively used in order to designate his particular manufacture. The customer attached the Plaintiff's name and numbers to the spools of thread, and retailed it to the public as of the Plaintiff's make :

:

Held, that there was not such a degree of wilful misrepresentation on the part of the Defendant as would justify the Court in granting an injunction, and bill dismissed, but without costs.

The name of a manufacturer, or a system of numbers adopted and used by him in order to designate goods of his make, may be the subject of the same protection in equity as an ordinary trade-mark. Ainsworth v. Walmsley. 518

A debtor made a conveyance of all his property in trust for his creditors, by a deed in the form in schedule D to the Bankruptcy Act, 1861. The deed was executed by the debtor and the trustees and duly registered, but was not assented to by the proportion of creditors required by section 192. The trustees got in and converted the estate, and deposited the proceeds in their joint names in a bank. Four months after the date of the deed the debtor was adjudicated bankrupt on a judgment-debtor summons for nonpayment of a judgment debt due before the date of the deed :

A company was incorporated in the first place for "the working, preparation, and sale of porcelain clay," with power, if it should be deemed expedient, after the original business had become developed, to combine " mining operations" with the original business.

By the company's deed it was provided that it should be competent for any extraordinary general meeting, by a majority of two-thirds in number of the shareholders, to empower and require the directors to bind the company and every shareholder thereof, to any act, deed, matter, or thing whatsoever, which the company, by virtue of its corporate capacity, or otherwise, or all the shareholders together, would be enabled to make, do, or execute, if the consent of every shareholder were given thereto. Also, that the directors should have power to make contracts, and in case it should be doubtful whether it was in the competence of the directors to conclude any contract, the same might be submitted to an extraordinary general meeting, and if sanctioned, should be binding upon every shareholder, whether under incapacity or not, in like manner as if every shareholder were sui juris and had consented.

The company obtained leases of land for ninety-nine years, commenced business in 1852, and paid one dividend, and no other, the undertaking not turning out successful:—

Held, that, after a period of nine
