DEAD STOCKBROKER.

i

PARTY TO CASE IN THE HIGH COURT.

London, Nov. 2

The case of Mr. W. H. Butler, the stockbroker who committed mentioned suicide recently, was

in connexion with an application made to Mr. Justice McCardle in the King's Bench Division yester-i day in an action which was in the List for hearing.

Mr.. Schiller, K.C., appearing for the Belglan Breeding Stock! Farm Company, Ltd., in their ne tion against the Tidal Power Syndicate, Ltd., and others, sald that the claim was for money due under a covenant in a mort- gage, and there was a counter- claim by the defendant company and Mr. Butler, who was one of the other defendants, charging the plaintiffs with fraud.

"Mr. Butler," Mr. Schiller In-: formed the Court, "has committed suicide, and is not now represent- ed, understand, in this action. As no one apparently appears for the defendant company, so far aa they are concerned, I should be entitled to judgment on the coven- ant in the mortgage deed. The matter has been postponed time! after time on affidavits, stating: that Mr. Butler was an absolutely necessary witness to prove these charges.

Dead Man's Kelntives.

Sir Henry Maddocks, K.C., who appeared for Mr. A. A. Henley, secretary of the plaintiff company, said that in this counterclaim Mr. Butler made charges of fraud against his client.

Mr. Justice McCardie said that It was clear that the case could not be disposed of until it was known if Mr. Butler's representa- tives-If there were any-chase to! appear, as his estate might be in- volved.

Mr. Schiller-It is peculiarly unfortunate. This estate is going| to rack and ruin, as nothing is being done ar has been done for in long time, and our security is

really wasting. »

Sir Henry Maddocks, suggested that the Judge should fix a day for the hearing of the action, as the charges that the defendants had mude would otherwise be held up indefinitely. In the meantime the widow and son of Mr. Builer could! be communicated with.

Replying to the Judge, Alr. Schiller said that the charges of fraud 'were denied by the plaintiff's and Mr. Henley...

im

Mr. Justice McCardie-] afraid that owing to this un- been fortunate episode that has mentioned the case must stand, over, and there will be liberty to restore it.
