Judgment by:
LORD REID.

My Lords, I agree with the speech of my noble and learned friend, Lord Wilberforce. I would only add that I am by no means satisfied that this House would be precluded from holding, in such circumstances as exist in this case, that notice of the trust received by the bank after they had received the money could be effective.

I would dismiss this appeal.
