  BANKRUPTCY — Annulling Adjudication on Bankrupts' Petition — Delay.
  SIR G. J. TURNER, L.J.:— With the greatest respect for the judgment of the learned Commissioner, I am unable to agree with him in this case. Two points are taken in opposition to this order - 1st. That there is no jurisdiction to annul the adjudication without the bankrupts' consent; 2nd. That if there be such jurisdiction, there has, in the present case, been such delay on the part of the creditor as to bar his right of applying to the Court for that purpose. On the first question, I do not intend to give any opinion. I rather think

  July 31. SIR JOHN ROLT, L.J.:— In this case the Commissioner, in exercise of the powers given by the 159th section of the Act of 1861, has suspended the bankrupt's order of discharge for twelve months, without protection for six months of that period. The appeal is by the bankrupt against that order. The ground of the Commissioner's decision was, that the bankrupt's insolvency was attributable to rash and hazardous speculation. The opposing creditors insist, also, that the bankrupt had carried on trade by means of fictitious capital, and that some of his debts were contracted without any reasonable ground

  INTEREST — Agent — Account.
  LORD CHELMSFORD, L.C., dismissed the Defendant's appeal with costs, and then delivered judgment in the Plaintiff's appeal, to the following effect:— With regard to the appeal on the part of the Plaintiff against the certificate of the Chief Clerk, I must observe a little upon the extraordinary relations between the parties, which were of a most unusual character and description. The Plaintiff, a clergyman, reposed such entire confidence in the Defendant, who was a farmer's son in the neighbourhood, as to entrust him with the uncontrolled management of all his pecuniary affairs. The course seems to have been — though
