ASSIGNMENT of Lease from the Assignees of Bankrupt, and the Bankrupt, (by direction of Persons who have a Lien on, and an equita. ble and beneficial Interest in the said Lease and Premises,) to a Purchaser.

Note, The Lease had been deposited by the Bankrupt, previous to his Bankruptcy, as a collateral security, with a Bond for replacing Stock ;-with an Agreement to execute a Mortgage of the same whenever called upon; and by a sub. sequent Agreement he authorized them to sell. No Mortgage or Sale took place before the Bankruptcy, but they afterwards sold with the concurrence of the Assignees, who received a part of the Purchase Money in consideration of joining. The Remainder was paid in discharge of the Bond and Agreement which were delivered up to be cancelled.

Where this has been omitted I have seen questions put by Conveyancers, on abstracts, to the following purport-why did not the Bankrupt join?—was he dead or out of the Kingdom? &c. I concieve therefore that the Bankrupt may be deemed a necessary party; and that it is incumbent on the Assignees to procure his execution, if the same can be done without an unreasonable expence."
