Any right of common, right of way, or other easement;

And, lastly, in paying the surplus to the parties who were previously to the sale entitled to such land as owners, if such parties had an absolute interest therein, but if they had not an absolute interest, then the commissioners shall lay out the same in manner hereinafter mentioned: and for the purposes of this act the commissioners shall have power, having due regard to the laws and customs of each colony, to declare the rights and priorities of all parties inte. rested in such land, whether as owners, incumbrancers, or otherwise howsoever.

43. In cases where the commissioners appoint or direct the appointment of trustees for any of the purposes of this act, it shall be lawful for the commissioners to make or to direct to be made such provision as they think fit for the appointment of new trustees, on any event to be determined by the commissioners.

The purchase money on every sale shall be paid, as the commissioners may direct, either into the Bank of England, or into the commissariat chest of some colony named by them, and be carried to an account to be opened in the name of the commissioners to the credit in each case of the land, (describing the same by the name of the plantation or estate to which it belongs, or by any other name the commissioners think fit); and upon proof being made to the satisfaction of the commissioners, and in such manner as they may direct, of any monies so having been paid in, the chief commissioner, or such other commissioner or commissioners as the chief commissioner directs, shall indorse a certificate on the conveyance of such payment; and any purchaser who has paid any money into the Bank or into such commissariat chest as aforesaid shall be 44.

38. Every conveyance made by the commissioners in pursuance of this act shall vest in the purchaser the land so sold, subject to such rights and uncommuted payments, if any, as are hereinbefore declared not to be affected by any sale by the commissioners, but discharged from all other interests, rights, claims, and incumbrances, except such as may, in pursuance of the power hereinbefore given, be expressed in the conveyance to be subsisting on such land, and no conveyance made by the commissioners shall be set aside on the ground of their not having had jurisdiction over the subject-matter thereof.

39. The commissioners shall have power to order the delivery to the purchaser, or as he directs, of all deeds and documents of title belonging or exclusively relating to the land sold, which are in the possession or power of any of the parties to

45. In cases where it appears to the commissioners unjust or inexpedient that a valuation should be made of such interests and incumbrances as they are hereinbefore authorised to cause to be valued at a gross sum, it shall be lawful for them to set aside and invest any portion of the money arising from any sale in such manner as they think fit, to meet the claims of any such interested persons or incumbrancers, and generally the commissioners shall have power to make all such orders and give such directions, with respect to the application of the money arising from any sale, as they think best adapted to secure the just and convenient distribution thereof amongst all interested parties, according to their several rights and titles.

46. No payment under this act towards the discharge of any incumbrance, not being a payment in full, shall prejudice or affect any right or remedy of the incumbrancer in respect of the balance, otherwise than as against the land sold; and no payment under this act in respect of any incumbrance shall impair any right or equity of any persons out of whose land such payment is made to be reimbursed or indemnified by any other person or out of any other land, except so far as the commissioners order under any special circumstances.

47. The commissioners may order any purchase. money standing to their account to be invested in their name in such government or colonial stocks, funds, and securities as they think fit, with power to vary the same into or for others of a like nature; and until such stocks, funds, and securities are sold by order of the commissioners for the purposes of this act, the dividends thereof shall from time to time be applied, under the order of the commissioners, in like manner as the rents of the land from the sale of which the money invested in such stocks, funds, or securities has arisen would have been applicable.

48. In cases where any money arising from a sale under this act is not immediately distributable, or the parties entitled thereto cannot be ascertained, or where from any other cause the commissioners think it expedient for the protection of the rights and interests therein, the commissioners may order such money, or any stocks, funds, or securities in which the same may be invested, to be transferred to the account of the Accountant-General of the High Court of Chancery in England, in the matter of the parties interested in the same, to be described in such manner as the commissioners direct, in trust to attend the orders of such court, or to be transferred to the account of such officer in any colony, and be subject to the jurisdiction of such court, as the commissioners direct; and the commissioners may by their order declare the trusts affecting such money, stocks, funds, or securities, so far as they have ascertained the same, or state (for the information of any such court as aforesaid) the facts or matters found by them in relation to the rights and interests therein; and the said Court of Chancery and any such colonial court as aforesaid may make such orders with respect to any such monies, stocks, funds, or securities as aforesaid, or the application thereof, as the circumstances of the case require.

49. The commissioners shall have the following additional powers in respect of sales of land; that is to say, Where separate applications are made for sales under this act of different undivided shares of any land,

Where separate applications are made for sales under this act of different lands, but such lands are intermixed, or otherwise adapted to be sold together,

A power, with such consent or consents as aforesaid, to include in one sale such different lands: Where an application is made to the commissioners for the sale of any undivided share in lands, and the owner of any other undivided share or shares, whether incumbered or not, in the same land, is desirous of having the same sold at the same time,

A power, with such consent or consents as aforesaid, to include in one sale all such shares as aforesaid:

and all the provisions of this act applicable to any land subject to any incumbrance, and ordered to be sold under this act, and to the purchase money arising from the sale thereof, and to the conveyance thereof, shall, so far as circumstances admit, be applicable to any land or share in land to be so included in the sale; and in every such case as aforesaid the commissioners shall apportion the purchase money and expenses as they see fit. 50. A married woman for the time being entitled to receive the income of land for her separate use, or having a power of disposing of land either during her lifetime or by will, shall, for the purposes of this act, be deemed a feme sole; but in other cases, where any person, who (if not under disability) might have made any application, given any consent, done any act, or been party to any proceeding under this act, is a minor, idiot, lunatic, or married woman, the guardian, curator, tutor, committee of the estate, or husband respectively of such person, or, if there is none, any person appointed by the commissioners, may make such applications, give such consents, do such acts, and be party to such proceedings as such persons

respectively, if free from disability, might have made, given, done, or been party to, and shall otherwise represent such persons for the purposes of this act.

51. Proceedings under this act shall not abate or be suspended by any death or transmission or change of interest, but in any such case of death or transmission or change of interest it shall be lawful for the commissioners, where they see fit, to require notices to be given to persons becoming interested, or to make any order for discontinuing, suspending, or carrying on the proceedings, or otherwise in relation thereto, which to them appears just.

52. In every proceeding under this act the commissioners shall have full discretion as to the giving or withholding costs and expenses, and as to the persons by whom and the funds out of which the same are in the first instance or ultimately to be paid and borne; but, unless the commissioners otherwise direct, the costs of the petitioner in respect of any petition for sale presented under this act, and of the proceedings thereunder, shall not be payable out of the proceeds of the sale, otherwise than in the same order of priority in which the incumbrance of the petitioner is payable.

53. In cases where a competent Court has, in the course of any proceedings, made an order directing any land to be sold, the commissioners may sell the same, without further inquiry; but in that event, and also in any case where any competent Court has made an order in any proceedings with respect to any land, or the rights of any person interested therein, the commissioners shall, on selling such land, and in distributing the monies arising from such sale, have regard to the orders made by such Court, and to any inquiries or proof made and taken in the course of such proceedings, with power, nevertheless, for the commissioners, whenever it appears to them that there is any error in such order, or any defect in any such inquiries or proofs, to direct such person as they think fit to apply to the Court in relation thereto, and such Court may make such order concerning the matter of such application as it thinks fit; and the commissioners may, out of any monies arising from any sale under this act, where there have been any such proceedings as aforesaid, provide for the costs of such application, and may, if they think fit, order all or any part of the purchase money, after payment thereout of such costs and expenses as may be payable under the orders of the commissioners, to be paid into the court in which any such proceedings have been instituted.

54. Where the commissioners order the sale of any land in respect of which any decree for sale has been already made by a competent Court, or any proceedings are pending, they shall, by certificate under their seal, notify to such Court the order so made by them, and all proceedings for or in relation to a sale under the decree of such Court shall be suspended; and upon the completion of the sale, under such order of the commissioners, any receiver appointed by such Court shall cease to act as such receiver with respect to the land or part thereof sold; and pending any proceedings for a sale under this act, it shall not be lawful for any owner, incumbrancer, or other person interested in such land to commence any proceedings at law or in equity for redemption, foreclosure, or sale.

Where an application is made for a sale under this act of an undivided share of any land, or where any such undivided share has been sold under this act, and either before or after the conveyance thereof, the commissioners, on the application of any party interested in such undivided share, or of the purchaser, as the case may be, and after causing to be given such notices to the owner or owners of the other undivided share or shares of the same land as they think fit, and hearing all such parties interested in the respective shares as may apply to them, and making such inquiries as may enable them to make a just partition, may, if they think fit, make an order for the partition of such land; and in such order, or in a map or plan annexed thereto, shall be shewn the part allotted in severalty in respect of each of the undivided shares in such land; and the part so allotted in severalty in respect of each such undivided share shall, without any conveyance or other assurance, enure to the same uses and trusts, and be subject to the same conditions, charges, and incumbrances, as the undivided share in respect of which the same is so allotted would have enured or been subject to in case such order had not been made.

56. Where an application is made for a sale under this act

of any land, or where the same has been sold under this act, if, either before or after the conveyance thereof, application is made to the commissioners by any party interested in such land, or by the purchaser, (as the case may be), for the exchange of all or any part of such land, the commissioners may make such inquiries as they think fit, for the purpose of ascertaining whether such exchange would be beneficial to the persons interested in the respective lands, and cause such notices to be given to parties interested in the respective lands as they may think fit; and if, after making such inquiries, and hearing all such parties interested in the respective lands as may apply to them, the commissioners are of opinion that such exchange would be beneficial, and that the terms therefore are just and reasonable, they may make an order for such exchange accordingly; and in such order for exchange, or in a map or plan annexed thereto, shall be shewn the lands given and taken in exchange respectively under such order; and the land taken upon such exchange under such order shall, without any conveyance or other assurance, enure to the same uses and trusts, and be subject to the same conditions, charges, and incumbrances, as the land given on such exchange would have enured or been subject to in case such order had not been made.

57.

58. It shall be lawful for the commissioners, in any colony within which this act may take effect, upon the application of the owners of lands in any of the said colonies not subject to be sold under this act, or as to which no proceedings for a sale under this act are pending, to make or cause to be made such inquiries as the commissioners may think fit, for ascertaining whether an exchange would be beneficial to the persons interested in the respective lands; and in case the commissioners are of opinion that the proposed exchange would be beneficial, and that the terms thereof are just and reasonable, they shall make an order under their seal for such exchange accordingly; and in such order for exchange, or in a map or plan annexed thereto, shall be shewn the lands given and taken in exchange respectively under such order; and the land taken upon such exchange under such order shall, without any conveyance or other assurance, enure to the same uses and trusts, and be subject to the same conditions, charges, and incumbrances, as the land given upon such exchange would have enured or been subject to in case such order had not been made.

59.

Power to alter Provisions of Act.

67. Before any such order shall be capable of confirmation, it shall for the space of thirty days be submitted to the Legislature of the colony within which the same is intended to operate; and if such Legislature, within such period as aforesaid, express by resolution their disapproval thereof, such order shall thereupon be void to all intents; but if the Legislature, within the said period, express by resolution their approval thereof, or come to no resolution in respect thereof, the same shall thereupon be presented to her Majesty for confirmation, and, if so confirmed, shall, as soon as conveniently may be, be proclaimed in the colony, and upon such proclamation being made shall have the same force within such colony as if the same had been enacted by authority of Parliament.

68. Any order so confirmed as aforesaid may from time to time be rescinded, amended, or altered, as occasion may require, by other orders, to be made by the commissioners, and to be submitted to the Legislature of the colony, and confirmed in like manner.

69.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. Mr. Wakley, one of the two official assignees of this court, has been obliged to resign his office in consequence of ill health. On his retirement a memorial was presented to him, signed by the president and officers of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Gateshead Law Society, and by fifty-six solicitors practising in those towns. The memorialists state that they "could not allow Mr. Wakley to retire from an office he had so long and so ably filled, without expressing their high sense of his official and private character." Mr. Wakley received his appointment from Lord Lyndhurst, when that distinguished nobleman was Lord High Chancellor.
