[7] (!n the house or lords.) g-abland v. carlisle. June 27, 1837. [S. C. 11 Bligh (N. S.), 421; 6 E. E. 386; 4 Cl. & F. 693; 7 E. E. 263 (with note); 3 Mee. & W. 152 ; 4 Scott, 587.] A sheriff who levies execution on the goods of a Defendant, who becomes bankrupt on an act of bankruptcy committed before the execution, is liable in trover to the assignees of the bankrupt, notwithstanding he has no notice of the act of bankruptcy. * Upon error from the Common Pleas, the judgments of that Court and of the Exchequer Chamber, in this cause (a), were affirmed by the House of Lords, after argument, in conformity with the opinions of the Judges delivered in the House : Lord Denman C. J., Bolland B., and Vaughan J., dissentientibus. The opinions of the Judges were given at great length, and would occupy more than a number of these reports; the reporter, therefore, has abstained from printing them, the point decided being in effect the same as that determined by Balme v. Hutton (9 Bingh. 471), confirming the principle established by Cooper v. Chitty (1 Burr. 20), Lazarus v. Waithman (5 B. M. 313), Price v. Helyar (4 Bingh. 597), Carlisle v. Garland (7 Bingh. 298), Potter v. Starkie (Selw. N. P. 1431. 2 M. & S. 260), WyaM v. Blades (3 Campb. 396), Lee v. Lopez (15 East, 239), and Dillon v. Langley (2 B. & Aid. 131). Sir F. Pollock and Sir W. Follett for the Plaintiff in error. Bompas Serjt. and Ball for the Defendant in error. (a) See 7 Bingh. 298, and 10 Bingh. 452. Same case, 5 M. & P. 105; 2 M. & Scott, 24 ; 2 C. & M. 31; 3 Tyr. 705.
