BANKRUPTS AND PREFEREN TIAL CREDITORS.

A LKfiAL question cminoctcrt with bank ruptcy matters, and having n very prognant interest for tradespeople, was decided by Mr .Justice OillicH on Thursday. ilrCavo.on behalf of the Ollicial As?si<;iieo, claimed that nil monetary transactions made by a bankrupt within the three months preceding his adjudication should, in the language of the Act, be "void and fraudulent" as against the Assignee. Ilia Honor remarked that the point .sought to be enforced must be hedged by consider able limitation, as otherwise any trader who received payment of a lawful debt at any period within three months of a bankruptcy would be obliged to refund. That seemed to him very hard. Mr Cave admitted that in this way a groat deal of hardship might be indicted, but maintained the law went in that direction. It was the effect of action taken by tho Chambers of Commerce thronghouttho colony. His Honor remarked that the result . would be startling if the law wero as had been stated. \fr Theo. Cooper, who appeared for the creditor who was directly affected by the application (viz., (iolding), disputed his learned friend's exposition of the law, and also proposed tocallevidonceinordorto show that hia clionthadacted in porfectgoodfaith. Hi-i Honor considered it unnecessary, as tlioro was abundant evidence to support the contention that Gokling's transaction with tho debtor (T. 11. Wilson) had been &ona file. So far as Section 78 _of tho Act was concerned, he was satisfutl that it could not have been the intention 01 the Legialatu.ro to ronder every transaction throo mouths prior to bankruptcy void. Its object was merely to avoid the confusion which previously existed under the old Act consequent upon the difficulty of proving what W.19 a preferential payment, Here, in tho new measure, it shifted the omia ol proof upon tho person affected, to show fiat the transaction was in good laith and for valuablo consideration. No doubt tho Act rendered persons liable to bo broui'ht up in thio way in respect of any transaction of which the Official Assignee was suspicious. He was quite entitled to call upon them, and it was for the creditor in question, or tho debtor, to prove that the challenged transaction had been mado 111 <'ood faith and for valuablo consideration, Ho though that that was the true interpreta tion of the Act

Wo have now tiefcrc us a series of lettora written to Uio •• Poliej-^Udor " by an ''Associate of the Instituto of Actuaries," on the lontmo System, and Es.imates of the ¥«* Tf«*^'« Ineurance Company and tlie Eo.Htable Jjite As surance Society of tho United States. It seams that both these oflicea have been, and are, issuing with pro/It endowment fsuranco: nnd limited premium policies m the toMowj^fS fashion :-If death ocnura before thoendovraor.t matures, or before url premiums on tho policy httVß been paid up, only tho sum assured is handed to Uie noW-liolder's represuotativc, CVB3I although tho into of premium )>aa uoeu "with prollte." And in tho event of a txAicy ■ holder from uny cartfa railing to «uy J;is premium, he gsis m mirrender vatae-tlie wholo reserve is confiscated. iiy these n>sana it is hoped, by the tiS'o offlces in question, that policies which have not fcoasod to Bjist by doatli or lapse will, on nittturity, roap-oxcoptjojially large prollts. mo system seemß to ua, ia Jtsolf, an exceedingly objectionable one. and nothing more or lt-ss thiui RambUnif.

Tho - •°i!OC!, aIf ll Y; tho Institute of Actuaries" has provfiu im» mort completely. In fact, his statements are mathematically unanswerable, und we h/ivo no doubt thoro will bo no attempt made to answer them. The only thine: that causes U3 to trjiat Bcriously such estimates is the fact that there la one element in their calculation of wnmii diffocent people may tako difforent vlows, uaniely, tho number of lapses that will occur. Wo do not hlHiuo the actuaries who calculat/sd these eotimwea for taking an optimist view or tlie number cf euch lapses; but the line must ho drawn Bomftwhero, and an " Associate of the In3;ituto of Actuaries " hus eonclusivolj shown that tho line in this case has been very elastic Indeed, and that, in fact, these estimates might also bodescribed as works of imagination. Besides, wo ana no escapo from this ceaclusion that, since a lapse involves so much loss, tltere ■will bo strenuous efforts made to keep the as- Buranco going, and so tho lapse among Tontino pjlieiea will be £ewar than among ordinary policies. ;Vo regret to have to write so severely on this W.attor, but a series of estimates thct jyjll never he realised will mako every Tontiiifl Dolicy-holdor, when lio Jinds himeelf dis appointed, an agc:>t n9t for but against lito as surance, and thus legitimate life business will in tlie end have to pay tor such " enterprise " as we arc denouncipg.—lnuurssoe Agent News paper, London, ist July, 18«, HE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY Oli1 TIIE UNITED STATES.
