MR. PONSONBY PEACOCKE'S BANKRUPTCY.

bk- sittiiiL' of the Supremo Court AT tho this 14 morning, tl.o Official in BaskrX Q ifcd to Mr Justice Gillies for Assignee »PP^ Board of Educ , tlon an order requ»ng f £m , being the W P»y b' B a „,, paid by thorn to Mr Ton »'T r n hn Rilofcli i*cacocke subsequent rti/baukrupcty and in defiance of tho Af "C(\V CCaveappeared for tho Assignee, jf'jfr Edwin Vwketh for tho Board of Ef "Sing his argument in support of uln n Ption Mr Cavo gave the following th°, nft tion of th. fact* of theauet-Oii l Pi7tlo" January last, Mr Poacocke filed * ♦'tinn in bankruptcy, and was duly »/ S d At that time the bankrupt S«ld the position of urirtont inspector of h l l Tnntler tho Board of Education, und schools unu somQ months afterwards. JfaSSSiry 16th, the Assignee gave 0 .notice to the Education Board ffthe cUimed on behalf of tho tblL' an y moneys that were owing f^ he bankrupt. 'On February 25tR 10 ,wd ths Board witU a further notice bV?d over Peacocke's salary for tho cur -00 finnth until it had been decided what CeDi-?n of itshould bo sot aside for tho f°»fii of his creditor.. On March 20th the £ tlrv o the Education Board intimated KXcocVs salary for February had ' n«Mto him in full. In consequence nS of creditor, was held on April S°andT Solution passed thereat euv Snrofog «» Afflignw *° *a>° Proceedill^ P w tho Bankruptcy Act for the purpose Sttringan order & tho tort to have n .in nrooortion of tho bankrupt's aalary ftff creditors' bonctit While . /mattor was pending tho Education Poard passed a resolution relieving Mr; p *nrke of his appointinont, and authona- SS«to' .C2OO to him in lieu of ntire This resolution was passed on n Friday, and on the Assignee seoing a record nf it in the daily press, ho wrote on batur -5 liminc payment of the amount ta M,LI TheP Secretary of the Board E'en the Monday following that tho Mr iUocke. Tho Assignoo'a present » ion was founded upon Sept on Jo of the Bankruptcy Act, which i" te d in him the insolvent ostate from tho to o of tho bankruptcy. The learned »i nmn n went on to cite authorities in JESS h?s contention that the Board', SSwtof wtary to the bankrupt in lieu Unotice was illegal. Ho submitted chat h wm strengthened in thw view by Section 73 which took away from a bankrupt all Mirer to give a discharge or roloaeo in of moneys received by him after his in roply, said that co far as thfiUtote provided for this matter the i« In reference to it was laid down in Soc £ 7 ffl ?l and in Section 10 of tho Amendment Act of 1884. Section 71 pro creditors, and Section 72 viated in tho Seal! property belonging to the estate horn the period of the bankruptcy up till flTtime of the discharge. Section 10 aewly contemplated tho acquisition of property, and authorised the Court to Lot him to aake some paymonts out of it if it wereeatjsßcd that ho was able to do so. Tbta laction did net go so far as Section 90 of the Imperial Act of 1569, s/hich provided for payments from time to timo fr.oifl tho bankrupt's income or earnings. Hi, Honor; This motion has nothing to dp with Section 10. It is based upon eMr°H«s'keth said that he was quito aw»re of this. He then went on to discuss thequ«atioa whether tho trustee had any nower to give notice (assuming that givon jn this case was effectual) to tho Board to p»y over to him any monoys coining to tho pankmpt. fljs Honor; No notico was necessary. AU property of ths bankrupt is voatod in the trustee. Mr H&sketh submitted thai tho iaonoy voted by the Education Board to tho bank rupt was not property in tho sense of tho Act. It was money paid in respect of tho bankrupt's personal skill. HU Honor: Not so, it was money paid v compensation for a broach of contract or datj on the part of tho Board. Mr Heeketh : But that contract was for bankrupt's personal skill a3 an Inspector of Schools.

Bis Honor: That does not matter. Ui ffeakath: The point cannot ba en- Urged beyond this: that the f'-iOO repre- Mnted six monthly payments of salary. flis Honor; No. It i 3 paid in lieu of notice of dismissal. If it wore as you say, then it would have bofin optional for tho bankrupt to go on working—he would havo bad liberty ol work. But this money is paid as compensation for a breach of con tract,

After some further discussion His Honor definitely ruled that no notico from tho Assignee to t)ie Board waß necessary, as the bankrupt's property up to the period of bia discbarge was .absolutely vested in the trustee by virtue of the Act. Mr Heeketh then proceeded to deal with the other point raised by the affidavit, viz., the liberty of the contract. Ho contended that a corporation could only contract tinder its common seal, apart from certain exceptions in common law.

His Honour (with surprise): Then I understand you, Mr Hesketh, to say that Jhe Education Board is prepared to set up jucJi a defence ac that, even assuming that it is a good defenco in law. Mr Hesketh: That is so, Your Honor. His Honor; Than I am sorry for tho Board.

After quoting authorities, Mr Hoskoth went on to point out that the bankrupt's contract with the Board was not mado under its common seal; consequently thero was no valid contract with him, that boing so there could be no legal action against the Board for an alleged breach of it. If the Board thought fit to grant the bankrupt £200 in dismissing him, still thero was no right in law or in equity to that money, be cause the Board could not bo made t° .pay it. H tho Inspector or tho Assignee had sued for damages for dis missal, the Bofij'd .could have answered that there was no contract under its common seal.

Mr Cave made some observations upon the cases which had been cited by his learned friend, and then proceeded to dis cuss the terms of the Education Act »o far at It affected tho points at WSDB, _ The cases quoted to enow the JttMsity for contracts with corporate "Mies being under their common seals 1" dealt with special statutes. The Act, however, Btated that boards need not use the common seal for tho making of •jOntracta for the incidental performance of uuties. The Boards were the agents of the Corporation, and as such they had power to <»Rage officers, pay them salaries, and to determine contracts with them. Pollard, ?n" Contracts," was quoted in support of '1118 contention, and a Victorian case, which ws stated to be on all fours with the Present one, was also cited, viz., Regina v. Municipality of East Collingworth (page 1 of Supreme Court cases). Thero it was held mat the appointment of the Town Clerk ?eed not be under seal. Mr Cave there lowi snbmittod that Baliont cases woro so MnHicting that the contract need not havo »oen under tho eeal. Hie Honor Baid he had littlo doubt him- JM on the subject, but ho would take time woolc over tho cases, and deliver a written judgment.

INQUEST AT HOSPITAL

An inquest wnß held this afternoon at the District Hospital before tho Coronor, Dr. Philson, and a jury of twelve, on tho body of tho unfortunate man John Whiteman, who was lost for six weeks in tho bush near Kotorua, and waa sent down to Auckland in a critical condition from fatiguo and starvation. It was expected that the in quest, which is proceeding as wo go to press, would diseloso blame on tho part of those responsible for sending the ex hausted man along and difficult journey instead of caring for him on tho spot. Thoro were no witnesses in ottondnnco excepting Dr. Bond, who merely deposed to tho man's emaciated condition, and cause of death,

A written report from Conatablo Abrams, stationed at Rotorua, was rend to the effect that deceased stated that ho had been lost for sovoral dayß on tho Galatea Plains. The con- Btable convoyed him to a boarding-house but admittance waH rofusod, tho owner believing; him to bo of unsound mind. Dr. Gindors, who waa called to attend him, said a few days nursing would make him all right. Tho constable placed him in tho harness rooms of tho stablos of tho polico-station, and procured him a strctclior to lie upon. Ho becamo much worse Dr. Gindors who fdd there was no room in the Hospital at Sulphur i/oint, ordered his romova'i to tho Auckland Hospital, which waß accordingly dono. '• ' '
