It was contended a behalf of the plaintiifs that architect La not by.

his certificate found that the building was situate in the street, place, or row of houses described as the north western side of Birchini; on road. and if he had so found, he had placed the building in a street, place, or row oL opuses in wbicn tne same was not situate, ice luunty touncil contended before tho magistrate that the certificate had determined that the building was situate in Birchingtpn road, auu tuai tnat ueierininaiion was omamg on tbe magistrate. The magistrate adopted this view, oa tne autbority Lonlon County Council v. Cross (G6 L.T.j 731), and directed tbe demolition of so much of the building as was beyond the line. The questions for the Court, were (l) better tbe certibeato snowed that the house in question was situate ia the street, place, or row of houses on and for which the general ine of building was determined (2) whether it was the duty of the architect to decide and find the.

situation of tbo plaintiffs' budding, and, if so, whether his decision was binding on the magistrate. The Divisional Court answered both questions in the affirmative. The plamtuTs appealed. jlr. Cnannell, U.C, and air.

alacmorrao were for the plaintitf Mr. Mr. Daddy were for the London County Council. lbe appeal was nuartl on.r riday last, and tbis morning The COUKT delivered judgment; dismissing the appeal. Lor.n Justice Lindlhy was of ouinidn noon the construction of.

the certificate that it did decide that the laintitfs' house situate in Birchington road. The question was whether, under section 76. this point Vvas to ne ueciuea oy tne supeimienamg arcmicci or oy me magistrate. His Lordship continued The following circumstances must co exist, in order to justify ah order' lor demolition under section i v. (a; mere must be a building, structure, 'or erection of some sort.

(2) That building, structure, or erection must be erected with tbe written consent ot tbe Metropolitan Hoard of Works (or now of 'the' County Council). (3) That building, structure, or erection must be in some street. lace, or row ot bouses. 14) lbat street, place, or row of bouses must have a general line of This line of building i.e., the line of building of the street, place, or row of in which the buQdice complained of is situate must be decided bv the superintending architect appointed by the Metropolitan Board of Works (or notv by the County Council). (C) Lastly, the building, structure, or erection must be erected beyond the hue so decided.

What is left to the decision of. the architect is the existence and exact position of tho general line of budding of the street, place, or row oi nouses (ii any; in wnicu tne ouuding, ic, complained of has been erected. In case of dispute the magistrate must decide all the other matters referred to e.g., whether the budding, ic, complained of is. one to which section 75 applies, especisjjy having regard to section 4 'wbetber tbe necessary consent bas been given whether the building, kc, is in a street, or row of bouses. street being interpreted as directed in section il wnetner tne building, has been erected beyond the general Ime ot building for that street.

as decided by tne supermtenumg architect, Such is, in my opinion, the true construction of the section, and ot. tbe decision ispackman v. rlum stead Board of Works (10 A.C., 22V), which set at rest the doubt whether the magistrate could review the architect's decision as to the general line. of buddiiir. So far the mterpretatiou of the statute is reasonably nlain.

But then it is said that the question still remains. .1 it 't who is to determine wnetner tne nuuding complained ot is in the particular street, plate, or row of houses to irhirli the architect's certiheate is annlirable. This is the point ou which Lords Watson and Bra'mwell differed ia Barlow v. Vestry of St. Mary Abbotts (11 A.

25 caret ui perusal oi Lord HerscbeU's judgment Las led me to the conclusion that he agreed with Lord Watson, and that Lord took the same view. There is much to be said for this interpretation of the Act tor. the object of the Act beinir to regulate lines of building, the architect, rather than the magistrate, seems naturally to: be the' person to say to what line of building a particular house should conform. Tbe general line of building which the architect is to decide is such rensral and. by such is meant the general line tor the street, kc, in which the bouse in neat ion is.

The architect might no doubt assume, without deciding, that the building complained of. was in a Dsvrticalar stieet, place, or row of Looses. and shnply certify the general line of buildings of that strata. thlS View Of the awtinn ta huim (n Mnfnn.il decuion of the House of Lords in Barlow's Case than tbe interpretation contended for by the appellants, have come to the conclusion that this appeal ought to be dismissed. The architect's certiflcate here, Uken withtbe pUit, supplies the omission which led to tbe decision in Barlow's Case," and doe certify, with sufficient clearness, that the appeHaaU bouse is not only in Birchingtotf road.

A summons was uken by Mr.S.Ueeler, as Official lteeeiver and liquidator of the bank, against George ewman, described as of her Majesty's gaol, Worm wc scrubs (by his attorney. J. H. Newman), for the determination of the question What persons or companies were, entitled to the dividends declared or to be declared in respect ot a sum of 702 7s. for which Ueorge Newman, by his attorney, had been allowed to prove as a creditor of the bank, and in what shares and proportions The Exhibition Commissi oners gave an option to some one to take a certain building agreement of the Albert hall Estate, and this fortunate somebody was able to sell tbe option for iTG.000, according to one view of the transaction, and for 26.000 if another view was taken.

It was the Commissioners practice not to grant to companies, and accordingly the agreement was grauted to Ueorge Newman. He held the property trust for Ueorge Newman and Co. (Limited), and they mortgage! it to certain persons as trustees tor the House and Land Investment Trust (Linked), the Lauds Allotment Company (Limited), and the Liberator Budding Society, those trustees being trst kiwi a oi mo property. under the bu tiding agreement George Newman was jiersonally liable for rent and aU for tbe execution of buildings. Ueorge Newman and Co.

(Limited) having obtained the beneUt of tbi agreement, and the property having been mortgaged ai above mentioned, it was deemed desirable hi the interests of Ueorge Newman and Co. and the other three companies above mentioned that a. sum of money should be borrowed on security of the property from Messrs. l'rescott, Dimsdale, Cave, Tugwell and Co. (Limited).

This banking company was not at liberty, however, to lend money on a second mortgage, and it was therefore arranged that the first mortgagees should stand aside, and that Ueorge Newman should borrow 15,000 from Prescott and Co. on first mortgage, for the benefit of the four companies. The money was applied as follows Co. took 3,500 the House Trust toot JLM.SOO the Lands Allotment Company took 2.200 and the Liberator Socictv took 3.000 total, 13,500. The balance of 1,500 was applied as follows Ueorge Newman retained 500 and paid into his own private accoont with the London and Ueueral Bonk.

He tbea drew out about 300, and applied this sum and the 500 inpayment of interest and commissioa on the loan. The sum of 702 mentioned in the summons was the amount left in the bank after the drawing out above. mentioned. GeorgeS'ewman made an affidavit ia opposition to the summons, in which he st.itcd that after tbe stoppage of the London aud uenerai limit and the other companies he had paid out of his own moneys to Prescott and Co. 345 Is.

8d. on aecount.of interest that he had also become liable to them for costs amounting to not less than 50 and that he had been compelled to execute certain works required by the' Exhibition Commissioners, at a cost of 533 Cs. 'JJ. He claimed to be in the position of a trustee in respect of the 700, and ta be entitled to deduct, therefrom all the above sums which, he said, ho had been compelled to pay or become liable for in his capacity of trustee. In support of tho summons it was contended that the money belonged to George' Newman and Co.

(Limited), or to that company and the other companies, and that George Newman could not hold the money as security for his contingent liabilities, but must account for the money in his bauds and prove in respect of the conditional liability, if any. Mr. Justice Yaughan Williams was of opinion that George Newman held the money, as soon as be had borrowed it from l'rescott anl in trust for the four companies, and that there was no impropriety in his paying to his own account the sum which be did so pay. Bnt his Lordship held that George Newman was. entitled to deduct from the 7 02 the sums which he had been compelled to pay, or had become liable for, in his capacity of trustee, and that on this ground.

he was entitled to have the dividends in question paid to him. The Official Receiver, as liquidator of the London General Bank, appealed. Since the order of Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams was made the Court of Appeal hare decided in In re George Newmin and (The. Timet Law Reports, 11.

p. 292) that George Newman was liable to make good to that company a sum of 6,500, moneys of the company which ne bad received. Mr. A. K.

Kirby was for the liquidator Mr. Dunham was for George Newman. The Court allowed the arjoeal. the liouidator under taking to apply the dividends in question in indemnifying George "Newman against his liability to Prescott and Co. in respect of the 15,000 by paying those dividends to Prescott and Co.

Lori Jcstice LlXDLET thought that the order of Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams was right upon the materials which were before him. But something had occurred since which' had entirely altered the case. This Court had declared that George Newman was liable to cay 6,500 to George Newman and Co. (Limited), and he had not paid a penny uf this sum.

It would be contrary to the practice of the Court to pay any money to a defaulting trustee until he had made gooo his default. But Ueorge Newman said that George Newman and Co. (Limited) were bound to indemnify him against his liability to Prescott and Co. in respect of the 15,000. The liquidator, however, had undertaken to pay the dividends upon the 702 to, Prescott and ami if he did that tbe obligation to indemnify George Newman would be discharged.

He was not satisfied with that, and wanted to have the money paid to him. In his Lordship's opinion ho most be regarded as a defaulting trustee, and could not havo anything paid to htm until he had made good his default. He was entitled to the indemnity, and that be would have. Lord Jcsticz Lopes and Losd Justice Biost coneurrcd. mitted was the ease, tbe ilihW was liable to the de feodant in respect of tbe nods while in his costody, there was so doobt his aetloa would lie.

The facts the more recent ease of daridge v. Booth. Staffordshire Tramway Company (187, 1 Q.B.D., ATI) wvre distinguishable. On these grounds be asked bis Lordship to give effect to the verdict of tbe jury and eater judgment for tbe plaintiff for the 100 awarded. On the second point be cited Greenland v.

Chaplin (5 23). Bmeed v. Foord (1 Ellis and Bills, 602), and Wilson v. Lancashire aad Yorkshire Railway Company 19 C.B., N.S., 632). Tbe defendants in letting were told of the purpose to which the room was to be put, aad were, consequently, liable to make good to the plaintiff the injury he bad sustained through the negligence of their servants, by being deprived of his samples during tbe remainder of tbe season following the accident.

Mr. BccxxiLL, for the defendants, said that the dscisioa ia daridge v. South Staffordshire Tramway Company clearly applied. It was not shown that the plaintiff was under any responsibility to the true owner of the goods, and bene be could not recover in this action. As to the 10 in respect of loss of profits, be submitted that Smeed v.

Foord and Wilson v. Lancashire and Yorkshire Bail way Company dealt, not 'with loss of profits, hot diminution in value. The case of Simpson v. London and Northwestern Kadway Company (L.B. 1, Q.B.D., 274) was against him, but he submitted it wa distinguishable.

The plaintiff could not recover for loss of profits, ss they were too remote, neither for. diminution in value, the stock not being his own. The learned JpiaK. in giving judgment, said that the only agreement the plaintiff was able to produce between himself and his principal in Germany was one dated April It, 1831, from which it appeared that he was appointed sole London agent to effect sales upon commission, while tbe 'agreement was quite silent about any liability attaching: to the plaintiff in respect of the safe custody of the goods or samples. The jury had found that the injury was done by the wilful acts of the defendants or their servants.

The action was brought both on the case and for breach of covenant for quiet enjoyment. There was nothing in the plaintiff's evidence or in the documents to show that be was liable for the price of tbe goods consigned to him. He (Mr. Justice Kennedy)' was bound by the case of Claridge v. South Staffordshire Tramway Company," which clearly held that where a bailee was uader no liability to his bailor for injury 'to tbe goods intrusted to him he could not recover damages for injuries arising from the negligence of a third party.

Here the plaintiff had no sufficient right of ownership in the goods to enable him to recover either in tort or contract; The fury had found that tbe plaintiff would have received 10 if the samples had not been damaged. The evidence showed that the defendants knew the object for which the room was taken, and the character of the business carried oa by the plaintiff and the nature of the goods, stored. There was evidence of damage to the interest of the plaintiff in the goods.

In 1871 Robert Fauntleroy and Sons filed a petition for liquidation, with liabilities amounting to 23,513, on which dividends amounting to Js. in the pound were paid, and Saunders obtained his discharge. In 1882 he recommenced business as a foreign hardwood merchant in Fench arch street, removing in 1835 to New London street, where he continued to trade until November 22 last, when the re ceiving order was made. He was joined in January, looo, by tbe debtor Leadam.

In lisaCJ and subsequently the firm suffered severe losses, but they did not convene meeting of their, creditors until October last, when a reiolitioa was passed under which the business was con inoed until the following mouth under supervision. The trustee sow stated tbe liabilities to be 48,230. with probable assets 7,450, and the debtors attributed their failure to losses ia trade and to various other causes. The Official Receiver opposed the application by reason of the insufficiency of the assets to yield 10s. in the pound, and on other statutory grounds and creditors to the 'amount of about 12.000.

also, by their counsel, opposed. In giving judgment, the learned Reoistsab said it was reported that the bankrupts had continued to trade and had contracted the whole of their indebtedness. which amounted to' about 48,000. with knowledge of insolvencv. Although the bankruDt Saunders had pre viously failed, he had not profited by that experience, but had.

now failed again. The charge of trading with knowledge of insolvency had been substantiated, and be regarded it as a serious offence. A charge of misconduct in relation to certain trust moneys had also been made out in the case of Saunders, but displaced as to Lead am.

The order appeared to have been made 13 months before the date of the conviction, in which tbe damages were assessed at 1 a day from the date of tbe order.

The first above mentioned order was made on December 15, 1893, on a summons taken out on behalf of the countv council, and it adjudged that the tramways company should forfeit and pay 5, and also ordered them to pay a penalty of 1 for every day on which thev should 1 ail to maintain and keep the said rails in rood condition and repair. The company after this expended about 1,200 on repairing their line, and in consequence of this no further steps were then taken. On February 8, 1895, however, another hearing before the petty sessions took place, and on the evidence of the county surveyor, who deposed that the line was still in a bad condition of repair, and that the order of December 15. 1893. had not been complied with, tho Justices convicted the company and made an order np.iii.tt.

This was an inquiry as to the stranding of tbe steam ship Tuskar, Ulohging to the Port of London, oa the Three Foot Rooks in the Red Sea, shortly before midnight on May 20 last. On the morning of May 25 the vessel was abandoned by all hands, but togs and other assistance afterwards came from Ferim, aad she was ultimately got off the reef acid taken into port. Mr.

wynne James appeared for the Solicitor to tbe Board ef Trade (Mr. W. Morton) i Mr. IL W. Nelson for the master aad Mr.

Davidson for tbe second officer. The Tuskar was a steel screw steamer of about 3,000 tons, built at Middlesbrough in 1892, and owned Ly Mr. Edmund Farrar, of 147, Leadenhall street, il.C, and others. She cost when new 32,089, and at the time of the' casualty she was insured at Lloyd's for 28,000 on bull and machinery. There was also an insurance for 3,750 on freight and disbursements, aad another for 2,200 on insurance premiums.

On May 11 last the vessel left Kurracbee for Marseilles, having oa board a general cargo of about 4,500 ton and a crew of 25 bands all told. All went well until May 20, when the steamer 'was in the Straits of Bab el Mandeb, at the entrance to the Red Sea. At about 4 20 p.m. on the 20th she was abreast of Ferim Island, at a distance, estimated by the master, of one mile. From 'this position the master set course north north west, which was continued until 7 45 p.m., when it was altered to northwest.

At about 11 15 p.m. the master and the second officer, who were together ou the bridge, noticed a dark object on the. port bow. The engines wera at once stopped, and almost immediately afterwards the ship struck and remained fast. When daylight broke it was ascertained that she was on the Three Foot Rocks, off Suyul UanUh Island, at the southern end of the Red Sea.

On the 22nd two native craft came off to the ship, and, by direction of the master, the second officer and another. hand went in one of these' boats to l'eriua for the purpose of obtaining assistance. On the 24th the win! and sea bad increased, and the position of the ship was considered so critical that the captain. alter consultation with the other officers, decided to abandon her. Early on the morain; of the 25th all bands got into the steamer's lifeboats, and were ultimately picked up by the City of Dublin and taken to Fort Said.

It brought by Mr. William Harrison, a solicitor, 'practising at Plymouth, to obtain probate of tbe wOl and codicil of the late Susanna Nicholas Hext, who died on October 6. 1893.. the said will bearing date tbe 26th dav of December, 1892, and tbe codicil bearing date tbe 26th day of September, 1893. The defendant.

Clara Granville rowe, opposed the grant oa the ground that the wtu and codicu vera not duly executed according to the pro visions of tbe statute 1 c. 26, and that at the tunes when the will and codicu purported to have been executed the deceased was not of sound mind. The plaintiff had for 14 years been the legal adviser and friend of the testatrix, who died at the age of 82, leaving croDertv to the value of about 11.000. The will and codicil disposed of 3.150 in various legacies. leaving the whole ot the residue ot the estate to the defendant, a granddaughter of tbe testatrix, sole next ef kin and heiress at law.

Mr; Harrison, the plaintiff, took nothing under the; will or codicu, but was appointed sole executor, in which easectty be propounded the will and codicil. The! case for the defendant was that at the time the wOl and codicil were made, and for some three years previous, the testatrix was of rmsrmnd tnfnd and subject to delusions, and bad been treated for some six mouths the rumnton Asvlum. A number ot were called, one of whom stated that deceased was dirty in her habits, continually called out in the night, shouting Murder and; Police," complained that people were walking about with lights, although she waa nearly blind, said the devil wax under tbe aad made various other assertions of horrible things happening to her, and was gsxTally uncontrollable, and not of such a condition of mind as to be able to make a valid wilL On tbe other hand, it was shown on behalf of the nlain tiff that whatever delusions tbe testatrix might have offered from, up to the last she waa vexy shrewd in all matters relating to bar well, Captain Henderson, the master, who accented the whole responsibility for' the navigation, attributed tho stranding to a strong north north east current, of the existence of which be was unaware. The sailing directions, he said, did not suggest or indicate any such current as probable. This current did not show itself until after the ship struck the rocks.

They af terwards saw the water over the reef like a mill stream. After the stranding he sounded round the vessel, when he found 18 of water aft aad 10 fathoms right close up to the rocks, sbe bad run up. on to the reef about 70ft. When they abandoned the Tuskar they had to use oil on the water in order to get the boats round. When the vessel struck she was from six to seven miles but of ber course.

He shaped her course so as to pass to the westward of the Banish Islands, and, although the course to the eastward was marked on the chart as the track usually followed." witness considered the westcrnmostT track the safest and most prudent in the circumstances. Thomas Hansen, tbe chief officer, said be quite approved of the abandonment of the vessel on the morning of the 25th of May, and Robert Malcolm, econd officer, corroborated the evidence previously given by the master.
