In the Supreme Court, yesterday, the motions by (,hc official n.y.u-nec of the Provident Institute to get rid of the injunctions, by which tlie plaintiff in the two equity suits of J)ods v. Fox ton and Others, and Dancker v. Porter and Others have stopped further proceeding in insolvency, were heard. Mr Justice Chaprann dismissed them, with costs ; but stated tba r the uttieir.l oft-i^nec, though unsuccessful, was right to make them. They were dismissed on the formal ground lhat tlie Insolvent Act tloes not, in a ease like the present; give the official a-signee the power assumed of becoming a party to the suits, and taking upon himself the defence of them, as suits " pending against the insolvent." It was intimated that a substantive application was about to be made to the Court to set aside the sequestration. To allow lime fpr thi*- the motions in the equity suite for a receivei of the property of the Institvitc, and the argument of a den-uner by the defendalils in each, suit were postponed. The demurrer is to be taken, first} i and that was fixed for next Tuesday.— Argus.
