APPENDIX.

I.

In an action of divorce at the wife's instance, on the ground of desertion, her adultery during the period when the husband is in desertion is a sufficient justification for his non-adherence, and if it be shown to have occurred, divorce will not be granted. (Auld, October 31, 1884.) In this case, observations were made by the judges of the First Division questioning the dicta in the case of Muir (supra, sec. 244).

II.

In the case of M'Kinnon (1884, 11 R. 676), the Court accepted the bond of the National Guarantee and Suretyship Association instead of a private bond of caution for a curator bonis.

III.

The Trusts (Scotland) Amendment Act, 1884 (47 and 48 Vict. c. 63), which is to be construed along with the other Trust Acts, has repealed sec. 5 of the Act of 1867 (supra, sec. 1029), and extended the area of trust investments by authorizing trustees, except where specially prohibited by the constitution of the trust, to invest trust funds,

6. Stock or annuities issued by any municipal corporation in Great Britain, which annuities, or the interest or dividend upon which stock are secured upon rates or taxes levied by such municipal corporation under the authority of any Act of Parliament:

7. East India Stock, stocks or other public funds of the

government of any colony of the United Kingdom approved by the Court of Session, and also bonds or documents of debt of any such government approved as aforesaid, provided such stocks, bonds, or others are not payable to the bearer:

9. On the security of any of the stocks, funds, or other property aforesaid:

10. On real or heritable security in Great Britain:

11. On debentures or mortgages of railway companies in Great Britain incorporated by Act of Parliament: "Trust" includes any trust constituted by any deed or other writing, or by private or local Act of Parliament, or by resolution of any corporation or public or ecclesiastical body, and the appointment of any tutor, curator, or judicial factor by deed, decree, or otherwise; and "trustee " includes tutor, curator, and judicial factor.

IV.

An undischarged bankrupt (ie. a person whose estate has been sequestrated, or in respect to whom a decree of cessio bonorum has been pronounced, and who has not received his discharge) obtaining credit from any one to the extent of £20, without informing him of the fact of his being an undischarged bankrupt, is guilty of a crime and offence as defined by the Debtors Act, 1880.

An undischarged bankrupt is incapable of sitting or voting in the House of Lords, or being elected a representative Peer, or of being elected to, or sitting or voting in, the House of Commons, or filling the office of Justice of the Peace, Provost, Bailie, Treasurer, Dean of Guild, Deacon, Councillor of Trades, or Councillor, or Commissioner, or Magistrate of Police, Member of a Parochial or School Board, Road Trustee, member of any local authority under any Act relating to local government; and any holder of any such office becoming bankrupt ipso facto vacates his office (47 and 48 Vict. c. 16, incorporating certain sections of the English Bankruptcy Act of 1883).
