A BANKRUPTCY CASE. cesge MacArthur, in the case of Walter and Fendall, assignees, against Lane, delivered the opinion of the court, affirming the decision of the court below. In this case, in November, 1872, Lane conveyed Co ge of property in Georgetown to R. H. Ward, and the latter con- veyed the same to Lane’s wife for the nominal consideration of $10,000, and it is charged that these conveyances were in fraud of the credi tors of the respondent, (the bankrupt.) The there was an intention to defraud the creditors prior and subsequent. The evidence, howev: showed that certain notes had been given by Lane to bis wife over a year prior to the institu. tion of the bankruptcy proceedings, when he was In comparati afiuent circumstances, and the court decided that the notes belonged to her, but affirmed the decree below, declaring the conveyance null and void. Judge MacArthur delivered the opinion of the court f the case of Stanton agt. Haskins, af- firming the decree of the court below. Alse, announced that the decree below in the case of In re, Bradley, was afirmed by a divided court. ACTION BY AN ENDORSER OF A NOTE AGAINST THE MAKER.

The court affirmed the judgment belo MR. CORCORAN'S SUIT AGAINST THE CANAL COMPANY. duadge Wylie delivered the opinion in the case of Corcoran +t al. against the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company. [n this case Corco ran seeks by bill to recover the payment of the bonds they hold. Judge Wylie remarks that | the bill and answer having been amended and stipulations filed there is but one issue in the case, viz: Whether the holders of preferred bonds and coupons are entitled to interest on the unpaid coupons. Had the complainants brought suit w for the interest and proved the demand and bomen iy they would be itled to judgment; but the canal company being so heavily mortgaged a judgment would have been useless, and therefore they come into the chancery court. These bonds and coupons constitute a lien on the revenues of the com- pany. The bill has not ax allegation in it that there is a fund from which they can be paid, and therefore the court cannot enforce the payment. They do not allege that they have demanded payment for the coupons when the very terms of the coupons provided that they would be paid when presented in Baltimore. The canal company shows that when the coupons were presentea and when there were net revenues they were paid. The state of Maryland agrees interest is paid, not interest on interest. The court dismisses the bill without prejudice to the | complainant to sue at law.
