INCONVENIENCE OF THE COURTS AT Mr. Justice Erle, on 13th January, inquired of the Bar if it would be convenient to them to remove the business of this Court to the Court of Chancery, which was a much larger Court, and as he thought better fitted for conducting business at nisi prius? Mr. Chambers and Mr. James expressed their opinion that this would be an improvement, and that the Bar would be much obliged to his lordship for suggesting the change. The nisi prius business of this Court will therefore, in future, be conducted in the Court of Chancery. EXECUTION IN UNDEFENDED CAUSES. At the sitting of the Court, on 13th January, Mr. Justice Erle stated, that, in future, in all undefended causes, where the parties applied for execution in four days, it would be issued; but if immediate execution were required, the application must be made on affidavit.

Vice-Chancellor Kindersley. Hammond v. Ward. Jan. 20, 1855. INJUNCTION TO RESTRAIN ACTION AT LAW. -DIRECTOR OF JOINT-STOCK COMPANY. Upon an assurance company being wound-up, under the Winding-up Acts, the defendant, a provincial agent, sued the company for 1001., and obtained judgment and execution, to which there was a return of nulla bona. The plaintiff, who was a director, gave the defendant a promissory note for the amount, upon which the defendant sued the plaintiff : A motion for an injunction to restrain such action was refused, with costs, although it was suggested that the defeudant might, upon the winding up, be a debtor to the company. Mr. Commissioner Ayrton had suspended the certificate of a bankrupt for two years and then to be of the third-class and not to protect him against the holders of certain accommodation bills of which he was a party to a large amount. On appeal, the Court being of opiniou that there. was no trace of fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment in the bankrupt's transactions in regard to the bills, but only a certain degree of imprudence, suspended the certificate for Ir appeared that upon the Amazon Assurtwo years, with protection and uncon- ance Company being wound up, under the ditional, and then to be of the second-class.

It appeared that the bankrupt was a not being paid, the defendant sued the plaintiff flaxspinner, and that he had purchased pictures to recover the same, whereupon this motion to the amount of nearly 18,000l., upon which was made for an injunction to restrain such he had lost nearly 6,000l., and that he had ex-action, upon the suggestion that when the compended 14,000l. on his mills which were pany was wound up, the defendant might be a stopped by the explosion of a boiler.

Pocock, 5 Taunt. 197; Exparte Wilson, 11 Ves. 410; Exparte Manico, 3 De G. M'N. & G. 502. The Lords Justices said, that the bankrupt had purchased the pictures for the purpose of selling again when an opportunity occurred. As to the accommodation bills, all the names were genuine and at the time good, and there was no trace of fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment in his transactions. This was not, however, to be construed into anything in favour of accommodation bills, as, on the contrary, when a bankrupt was found to have engaged in such transactions, his dealings would be subjected to the most rigid investigation, and he must give satisfactory explanations of them. There was in this case no ground of imputing to the bankrupt more than a certain degree of imprudence, and justice would be satisfied by a suspension of the certificate for one year with protection and unconditional, and then to be of the second-class. No costs to the Glasse and Haig in support; Swanston and Hallett, contrà; Roxburgh for the official manager. The Vice-Chancellor said, that the plaintiff, whose liability was unquestionable, could not be allowed to speculate on the result of the winding up, and the motion must therefore be refused, with costs.
