He had filed to carry out that agreement, but that did not make him any the loss a partner. However, the case could be decided os olher grounds, taida's Lordship and these he proceeded to spumerata.

The receiving order was granted," Mr. F. X. d'Almada aiked his Lordship to certify for Counsel in the matter of costs,

Mr. Davidson objected to this: Tre-estate,

he pointed out, was a very small one, and there were already charges upon it of $500 or $ted for bailiffs' fees alens They had been com pelled to engage Counsel because the other

sida did so.

His Lordship said hs had never been asked before to make sach. A certification If It was the sale, then the sams rule as applied to cases heard in Chambers must apply here Notice that Counsel would be employed must be given, This, however, was certainly a case in which Counte) should be employed. He could not grant the application, but he did not want it to be assumed that Counsel could not be employed. He was not going to make that rule, But he had never been asked before to mɛka such a certification.
