         LOCAL LAW CASE
         Palliser v Earp
         In the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division,
         yesterday, before Mr. Justice Fry (vacation judge).
         Mr. Turner said this was a motion for the appointment
         of a receiver and manager of the estate of the late Mrs.
         Sarah Earp, of Manchester. Mrs. Earp died on the
         27th of June, 1877, and on the 1st September a meeting
         of the creditors was called by Messrs. Sale and
         Company, solicitors, of Manchester. A statement of
         accounts was laid before that meeting by Mr. J. Fowler,
         accountant, of Manchester, from which it appeared
         there was enough to pay about 8s. 6d. in the pound,
         thereby showing that the defendant, Mr. Thomas Earp,
         could have no interest whatever in the estate. The
         executors proved the will; and he now applied for the
         appointment of a receiver. - His lordship: On what
         ground? - Mr. Turner: On the ground of insolvency.
         His lordship: That is no ground, because the legal
         personal representative is responsible. - Mr. Turner said
         the estate was absolutely insolvent. From the state-
         ment of accounts which was put befoe the meeting it
         appeared that the assets were £1,004, and the debts
         £2,070. - His lordship said he could not grant the application.
