The Imperial Court of Grenoble is at this moment occupied with an appeal case of libel, in which a lady named Madlle. de la Merliere complains of two priests having defamed her character by represent ing that she personified the Virgin Mary on the Salette mountain, and induced two shepherds to give the testimony upon which a miracle now fully accepted by the Roman Catholic church is believed. The Court of the First Instance diamissed the com plaint. Some of the most eminent counsel of the Paris bar have gone down specially to argue the appeal, bat, on the awe being called on, the court, on the requisition of the Avocat-Gencral, made an order prohibiting any report of the proceedings, on the ground that " publicity would be likely to lead to a breach of the peace." AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter of the 28th ult. says : " A depu• tation of the Protestants of Hungary has been received by the Emperor, to make known the wishes of the reformed church in Hungary. The Privy Councillor de Lonyai addressed the Emperor in the Magyar language, in the name of his co-religionists, and besought him to grant to the church of Hungary the right of convoking a general synod, to deliberate on an organic statute for the church and schools of that Greed. The Emperor replied in the same language with his usual affability, and promised the deputa tion that their request should be taken into consi deration and acceded to as much as possible. lie assured them of his constant solicitude for the wel fare of his protestant subjects, and recommended them to have confidence iu him." RUSSIA. A telegraphic despatch has been received (rein SL Petersburg, announcing that the prohibition against the export of gold has been removed. The Itussian government has just published the treaty of com merce and navigation with Japan, consisting of nine articles. The porte of Simoda, Ilakodada, and Nanganki are open to Russian commerce. SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, APRIL 23. All the four estates of the Storthing have now unanimously voted the sum demanded by govern ment for the construction of the railroads this year (3,870,000 rigsdalers). On the other hand the dis cussions have been concluded in the standing com mittee for railway affairs relative to the g ufflatiu rerata of the Great Western Trunk Railway being made on the northern or southern shores of the lake Maclar, it being decided by 22 votes against 13 to adopt the plan proposed by government of letting the railway pass through Hallsberg and Iljuki to the south of the lake. Col. Ericson, who was pre vented by illness from attending the debates, had sent in his declaration in writing to vo t e f ur the go vernment plan. The Board of Health has published a royal decree prohibiting the importation of cattle, hunts, hides, and skins from the ports of Finland and the Baltic, from llango-head to Lubeck, both included. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. (Imola ou u BUCHAREST, Mum 21. Public men must expect to have their conduct discussed, and often attacked. Our consular and diplomatic agent here has at least as many enemies or injudicious friends as any other similarly situated hnetionary. Some who really mean well towards and whose good opinion I am sure he valets', smolder that he is to blame for not communicat ing to our worthy Commissioner the character of cer tain parties, and the estimation in which they are held, who form the entwirame of Sir Henry I:ulwer, and who are delighted to appear on terms of appa rent intimacy with him. Of course, Sir Henry con not be expected to be aware of this, and may pond bly be lost in conjectures as to why many of the best of the Wallachians do not more frequently ap pear at his mansion. Others make moat sweeping assertions, and advance the most startling charm against our consular agent. I cannot believe them ; but think that he may, to a certain extent, have coquetted with his reputation by not having always taken summary means of disposing of those who deserved to be kicked out of his presence. The fact is, I presume, that the consul is not so young as he was some twenty odd years ego, at which time be would probably have allowed just indignation to take the precedence of diplo- matic reticence or official scruples. 1)i lunacy is a hard thing for a simple-minded individual like your correspondent to understand; possibly you can give me the key to the following diplomatic tona. AU the world knows that British influence the present Caimacan upon the throne of Our consularand diplomatic agent here took unto himself the credit of the mole, thereby lasing the shoulders of our representative at Con stantinople of no small responsibility. For some time no one was louder in his eulogies of the Prince than the gentleman to whom he owed his position. Suddenly, however, it MIS discovered that there was something amiss with the governmental crew. The Prince is declared to be eo obstinate that he is kitting the country go to ruin because he will not change his ministry. On the other hand, the British Commissioner comes boldly and informs the Wallachians of what I believe them to have been profoundly ignorant, viz.: that the Sultan had given them a proof of exceeding affection in bestowing a Prince upon them who was "an honour to their annals, and whose family—' but, by the by, as he did not think it necessary to print what he said about the family, I don't consider myself entitled to do so either. Hid the British Com musioner acquire his knowledge of the super-emi nent qualities and qualifications of the illustrious ruler of Wallachia from the British Consul and diplomatic agent here ? or from one of the diplo matic agent's friends, Charles Ohika, nephew of the Caimacan, who went or was sent to meet his Excellency the Commissioner at Oiurgevo on his arrival ? It almost looks aa if Sir Henry had been kept in the dark as well regarding the political character of the Caimacan as regarding the private character of some of the Wallachians who frequent his society. The resignation of Mr. Charles Crezzalesco, the minister of public worship end instruction, and the motives of that resignation, as made known to the various commissioners, ought ere now to have enlightened Sir Henry en many points, and the Wallacbians are still hopeful (now that they have a little recovered from the effects of the small lecture which he gave to their deputation) that our Commissioner will stand by them and see fair play, as far us his instructions sad power go. The only thing that I fear is, that he may be prevented, by intrigues, from obtaining the in formation which ho requires, and be by the lease means furnished with all that is most opposed to the truth. The Wallachians, and more especially theyounger portion of them, are rather afraid of the seriousness of the English character, and will often, me I have found, construe it either into hauteur, re feree, or an unwillingness to communicate with them ; but, once convinced of their error, they will be found too happy to give the information they possess. The note addressed by Mr. C. Cres • Wawa to the Commissioners lays bare a state of .• things hardly credible—spoliation and misappro pnation in every direction, which be opposed single. handed, until the bead of the government actually took out of his hands the executive portion of his daty, and conducted it himself because his minister would not betray his trust. Too great praise cannot be bestowed on Mr. Crezzulesco fin having sacrificed his health and feelings by con tinuing to form part of a government where, as he says, he had been so grossly deceived, until lie could resign with the hope that the European powers who had resolved to re-organise the Principalities would take up the matter. '1 he three brothers Crezrulesen-- Charles, Constantine, and Nicolas—are indeed en honour toWallachia, or any country. They . are distin guished by the simplicity and unostentation of their living, the superionty of their intellect and educa tion, their unbending honesty and undeviating in tegrity. A sad pity that they should have so few peers, and thus be forced to stand out in such strong contrast to their fellow-countrymen. The Russian Commissioner is the only one of the seven actually in Bucharest at present. The others have gone to Jassy, for a week or ten days, with the exception of our British Commissioner, who has taken the opportunity of a holiday to look at the Carpa thians near Tergovist. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. EQUITY COURT. (Before the Lords Justices of Apra) LOKI, CUWO O. ODLIOTOX. Their lordship delivered their judgment epee this ease, which was an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor &uart, awarding an inmate/ me seine the trustees of a turnpike. rood leveling from ffeateich to Wheelock Wharf, Chalks, called the "Old Rued,' and of another road, celled the "New Road," loading free Wastes Mall, in Cheshire, by Stuwferd, to the railway 'Mom at Crewe, whereby they were restrained from reducing segof the tolls upon the old end new roads, or either of them, anel boas removing any ef the gates or bars upon or at th e ' aide of such old o r n ow roads, or ether of them, till further uglier. It appeared that the trustees, acting ender the powers given to them by the General Teueplke Act, and the private set under Webb the old road had been made, bur rowed, in 1849, 2,000/. from Lord Crowe, for the purpeao of constructing the n ew roa d, giving Lim • security upon the folk of their road. The new road was made, and the receipts from the tolls thereof proved insuf . ti, lent to pay the interest upon the 2,18,01. The trustees, nevertheless, regularly paid the interest till August 1813. In February 1881, they re , salved for the first time to keep • peewee •ceetust of the tolls of tho two roads, and then teased to pay interest to the plaintiff, alleging that the 2,0001. was secured on the tolls of the New-road only. They also, without the consent of the plaintiff, began reducing the tolls on both rends, and removing toll-houses end gutea, whereby the temerity for the 2,0001. was still further diminished. The plaintiff thereupon obecined the order appealed from. Mr. Q.C., and Mr. Roweliffe, appeared on the argument in support of the appal; Mr. Craig, Q.C., and Mr. Lambert, fo i e the plaintiff; and Mr. Melina, Q.C., Mr. Bacon, Q.C., Mr. Welker, Q.C., and Mr. Ampliktt, Mr. dune, and Mr. Wiglesworth, for certain pnor umuni hemmers. Their lordships varied the ink—ldiot by confining it to the restriction of thy ndurtion of the tolls, Lord Justito Knight Bruce observing that the trustees, by the course they bad Liken in opposition to the claim of Lord Crow% • had laid telves open to the tenure tdllte mut ; and that, if attempts were made by them, indithetly, to do that which they had failed to ammo plish by &lint mean., be hoped and believed the power of the court ceuld be made effectual to defeat them. my peoposition is, that after the jurymen who were available the first time the panel waa gone through, were called over and disposed of and it full jury was not obtained, the right of the crown to challenge peremptorily ceased and that afterward, the crown must show cause when it chal lenges. At the conclusion of the learned counsel's arguments, at two o'clock, the court adjourned for ten niinutes. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commirsionez Goulburn.) THZ ROYAL HBITIAII LANK.- THA CALI. OF THE OFFICIAL NEW PASSPORT REGULATIONS AT CALMS. CALAIS, FILIDLY. The following notice has been given by the autho rities at this port : °His FaceUency the Minister of the Interior hu just ordered the suppression of the visa of passports for all travellers, without exception, coming from England through tho port of Calais, having for their destination either l'aris . , or Belgium and tiermany." PIEDMONT. 'lliePiedinontese Gazette of the 27th ult. publishes a report addressed by M. }lateral, Minister of the Interior, to the King of Sardinia, stating that, con trary to the law of 1843, which fixed at 506,4721. the aura which the city of Genoa is to pay to the royal treasury out of its entrance duties, the Com munal Connell of that city, at the commencement of this year, only voted tal,ooof., thus refusing payment of nearly the whole of its share of the public burdens. That, nevertheless, the minister, overlooking the illegality of this vote, and interpreting it simply as a desire expressed by the Communal Council, con tented himself with re-establishing the rum of 806,472 f. in the communal budget, instead of having recourse to more rigorous measures; but that this leniency, far from having the desired effett, led to a stormy debate in the sitting of the 22d of the Communal Council, in which several mem ben made motions tending to nullify the ministerial decision, whereupon the syndic and all the vice syndics resigned their offices. The report then re commends the dissolution of the Communal Council of Genoa, and is followed by a royal decree dissol ving it accordingly, and appointing Advocate //WWI to be delegate extraordinary for the provisional ad ministration of the commune until a new council be elected. A letter from Turin of the 22nd ult., in the National Gazette of Berlin, says :—" For some time past a movement has been observed on the Par mese frontier, and it is asserted at Genoa that arms and munitions ate being secretly conveyed there by the Maxxini party. Forged letters from Garibaldi, declaring that the Sardinian government favours the movement, are said to be in circulation. That government, on the contrary, is using all its media eval., to put down any agitation." HAMBURG, APRIL 29. Repeated attempts hero been made to bring the new Russian railway shares into this market, but the speculators on our Stock Exchange are decidedly opposed to them, and have no con fi dence in their stability and yielding any return. Fictitious pur chases and sales have been made by the agents of the Amsterdam and Berlin bankers, through different brokers, for the purpose of obtaining a quotation, and they have so far succeeded as to have them quoted fora few days at from I to I per cent. pre mium, though they can now be had for 1 per cent. below par. Mr. Samuel Ricker, the new United States consul general to the Haase Towns, appointed by Mr. Pre sident Buchanan, after presenting his credentials in the usual manner, has received his exequatur from the Senate. Daring the Presidency of Mr. Pierce we had here no less than three American consuls appointed in succession, in the persons of Messrs. Bromberg, Johnson, and Ames. Mr. J. H. Macdonald is the new vice-consul for the United States in this city. COPENHAGEN, Aram 28. Prince Christian of Denmark, the adopted heir apparent of the King, is on the point of going to Berlin on a mission of the greatest delicacy to the King of Prussia. It is understood that in the same way as the Emperor Ferdinand not only abdicated the throne of Austria, but induced his next brother to do so in order to make room for the present Em peror Francis Joseph, so the King of Denmark, dis gusted as be is with public affairs and the incessant abatis and coaster-intrigues of the court and his cabinet, and himself lacking the talent and capacity for making himself master of the situation, has not may neolved to become one of the "monarchs retired from boeinses," hat bas persuaded his uncle and next hair, the Primo Ferdinand, to relinquish his claim to the mom—ion, so that Prince Christian may be able to meant the Vanish throne at once. But before such • step be publicly and of course irretrievably taken, it is of the utmost consequence to look well to the future, so as to secure the position of the new sovereign. There is little doubt of the policy Prince Christian would follow with regard to the duchies when seated on the throne. As a scion of the house of Schleswig-Holstein Gliicksburg, he would, it is confidently assumed, throw overboard the whole monarchy system, and restore to the duchies their original rights and privileges; nor is I it at all to be expected that his wife, who is a' Prussian princess, would oppose such a course. At the same time it is highly desirable that the rela tions between Denmark on the one hand, atal Prussia and Austria on the other, should be placed on a more stable and satisfactory footing than is at present the case, and nothing would afford a better rtee for this than an early understanding with ui ru si s a, and perhaps the promise of a treaty of alli ance and amity. From the above your readers will gather the Ceimport of the negotiations that are now on t r a el pis, and as soon as anything more on the sub ject transpires, I shall not fail to communicate it to you.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sitt'lgs i• &MM.— Before Lard Campbell sad Justices Wightmaa, Erie, and Cramptun.) MANCELL V. TSB QCLE.Y IY IMIIOII. According to the srmsgement of the court, Thomas Mansell, the convict under sentence of death for the murder of Lance-Corporal Burney, of the 49th Regiment, was brought up this morning from Rewrite by habeas corp., fur the purpose of being present during the arguments of counsel upon the points of law which bed been raised to the manner in which the jury who tried him had been challenged on the part of the crown. The prisoner set in the centre of the first row of the outer bar, end was in the charge of Mr. Weatherheed, one of the gaolers of Newleste. There was nothing in hie appearance or manner to indicate that he was folly sensible of the serious position which ho occupied, but he conducted himself with gravity and &Tome, and listened with attention to the argu ments of counsel. Mr. We'shy and Mr. Ribton appeared far the crown; and Mr. F. Rumell and lion. IL Denman for the prieoner. There was a large attendance of the bar, and the coast woo emwded with speetistors. Mr. F. Russell mid this was a proceeding by way of writ of error to reverse the judgment of death which had been passed upon Thomas Mansell, the plaintiff in error, now me , sent at their lordships bar. Themes Mansell wise tried at the last winter arises at Maidstone, before Mr. Baron liminwell, for the murder of Alemnder Berney. He was tried on an indi c tment a nd also on the coroner 's and the records, with regard to both, were in subetanee almost identically the mine. The learned coun sel then read tho record of the indictment, which set out that at tho trial a certain number of jurors, whom names appaired on the panel, wee called ; that sumo presented them selves and others did not ; that of the former some were ordered to stand by, and the rest were elected to form the jury, and were duly sworn for that purpme. Among those who were ordered to stand by was William ironmonger. When he came up, the counsel for the crown prayed that he be dineted to stand by ; the prisoner'• remnant objected, but the court ordered him to stand by, and be accordingly did so. The entire panel was gone through, with the exception of twelve jurymen whose names were omitted, they Loring been engaged in trying • case of felony and being abeent at this time from the court considering their verdict, and only nine jurymen had been elected to form the jury for the trial of the prisoner. It then became necessary to go through the panel • second time, end the name of William Ironm o nger wee again called. He also presented himself on this occasion, and the crown again registered him to stand by, the prisoner's counsel as before, objecting, and before any decision was come to by the court open the point, the 12 jurymen, who bad been out, came into min, and were discharged from the custody of the sheriff. The counsel for the crown then requested that the jurors to whom he bad objected should stand by inn.' the nmiles of them twelve had bees called over. Lewd tlempheU—The 12 jurymen who were in tba panel but had not been railed ? Mr. Kmacll—Yee ; and the pfieellee• mewl objected to that courier. The court, havieg over-ruled his objection, Williamm Ironmonger wee direr ted to eland by a wend time, and theme 12 jurors were called and cleated to form the jury. The record also mated that one of those who had been thud elected, said he had conscientious enures against capital punishment. The counsel for the crown rayed the court to order him to Mend by. The prisoner's counsel ob jected, and the judge mid that if the j di Fest hit he could not do his duty, he was quite right in ea so, and that he had better withdlaw. He thenspre withdraw from the bee, and was mimed to stand by. Ihe prisoner's mused iv:Wended that when he hod been once elected he ought not to have been allowed to withdraw, but his objection was overruled, and When other jurors were ' on the application of the crown, ordered to Wad by.

The re joinder on the part of the crown, to these ameignmente was that there was no error in the record. With regard to the record of the coroner's inquisition, the learned counsel said it did not appeal . , from it that the prisoner had been tried on tiny legal inquisition, as it did not state that the inquisition was held on the body of the deceased lying within the district over which the mower had jurisdiction. Their lordships would have gathered from the of the records that the principle grievance complained of y the primmer, was that a certain number of jurymen who were celled and appeared, and whom ho was willing to have upon tbejury, had been, as alleged, improperly met aside, and pre vented being sworn; and if he (Mr. linemen) made out this team satisfaction of the Court there would clearly be an error in the record, In the ems of King e. Edward. 4, Barn. and Md, rags 431, It wee laid down byJ Lord Tenterien that the improper granting or refusing a chaltmge was, alike, a foundation for a writ of error, and in his elabonste judgment he referred to two or three cues in which that wen held to be law. In the ease of Grey a. the Queen, the Irish judges held that the crown had a peremptory right of challenge, without alleging the cause of challenge ; but upon a writ of error being brought, it was decided by the Home of Lords that they were wrong, and the whole proceedings at the trial were void by reason of the course which was taken in that care with regard to the constitution of the jury. There was error in the record, if all, or or any, of the jurors had been improperly prevented serving on the jury. Lord Campbell—l suppose you do not say there was any irregularity until William Ironmonger was caned • second time. Russell—l do not feel myastr, at present, in a situation I to admit that there wee no Irregularity on the first °marquis. ' Lord Campbell—We find in sll the hooka that there i e power in the crown either to challenge without seat cause until the panel is gone through, or, in other yr order the juryman to stand aside until the panel i ‘tu b ' eee called over.

This seas an adjourned dividend sitting in the matter of John Peter M'ldurland Greig, cabinet-maker, of Bartletee buildings, llolburn, who we* the holder of sixteen shares in the Royal Britirla Bank. A proof ram tendered against the estate, of Mr. Harding, the manager of ' the bank, for a sum of 1,2001., beteg the amount of the all of 75/. per share made on the 10th January hat, on the shares held by the bankrupt, whose name had Leen placed on the hat of contributories. Mr. W. D. Lewis (of the Chancery bar), instructed by Messrs. Amory, Travers, and Smith, appeared in support of the proof; which was resisted by Mr. Aspland and Mr. Weal, tor iho uoigneus of Greig, un the ground that tho hst of contributories had not been legally settkJ, nor the cull legally made. His Honour now gave judgment. The ease, he observed, had been very folly and ably discussed, as it deserved, for it involved a question of the utmost importance —namely, whether °relent might be made, and judiciel acts dune by the chief clerks of the citoehancellors, in the absence of the judger themselves, and whether the subsequent assent of tho vice-chancellors, not even signified by their signature was sufficient to give validity to such orders. Should this doctrine be upheld, extremely cuischiesons consequences would ensue. Two attempts had been made to prove this claim ageing the elate, and two affidavits had been put for ward. Tho knit disclosed the real feet. of the cape; the bitter was of • very different character. The first stated that the bankrupt had Leer placed on the Hat of contributories " by Clarks l'ugh, Erb the chief clerk to his Honour the Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Tories Kindersley." To this the objection was taken !het the chief clerk had no such authority ; and the rare turned entirely upon the ques tion whether the bankrupt's name was legally and rightly put upon the lint of contributories. The prof was rejected. Now It wee renewed; and a fresh affidavit had bean from to merit the difficulty of We case. It now stood, after venous alterations ,—" 'that the list of contributories of the said Royal British Stank has been, from time to time, steeled to pursuance of the provisions of the said acts." list the. left the queetion where it wee, namely, whether the bankrupt's Mole had been propoely placed on the lint; and though it purported to have been impected and allowed by the VionChaneeller, it appeared that ha never's', it till long suer the order f u r the cull was made. The affidavit recited two orders of the Court of Cheneery, one of the 10th Jan uary directing the call of 7.1 f. per Ware to be made,—the other of the 16th April hot, authorising Mr. Hurling to prove against this estate; but on reference to the original orders on the file of the Court of Chancery ; it eppeereci that they wen both signed by Mr. l'ugh, the chief clerk, and that they had undergone various alterations such see the substitution of "It is orderced," for " I do order." These orders had not the signature of the Vice-Chancellor, nor even his initials. Another document had b e en produced, whiclewes as follows " I have inspected and allowed the foregoing hat of con tributories, as settled up to the lith day of Ikeember,lB46. Rieherd Turin deindersley. 20th day of December, 1856." But it tuned out that this wee not mgned on the day on which it bore date, and, indeed, Lot until long letter. Re ference had been made in the argument to the Winding-up Acts, the first of which (11 and 12 Vie., cap. 45) very dis tinctly prescribed the manner in which these lists of coot el butones were to be settled. The list was to be made out by the official manager, and settled by the muter, after pre vious amine en the London Grcette and otherwise; nod throughout thew clause, everything wee carefully recputed to be dune by the mesterei, who had original jurisdiction piece them for the perveee. The legislature keel strictly pointed out the mode in which this moat inipertmet judicial act was to be performed; for nothing could Le I.llore am iota than placing a nan on a list of contributories, whereby ho was subjected to the heaviest liabilities, and hundreds had been plunged into poverty and ruin. Surely such an act ought to be done by a competent authority, and one that could exercise a judicial discretion. But since the Winding-up Acts peered, the legislatum had thought tit to aboliab the office of masters in chancery, and to transfer their dative to the Master of the Rolle and the Vice-Chancellum, which it wee thought would be to the public advantage. The act making the change, known as "The Master. Abolition AM," WIN the 15 and 16 Victoria, e. 80. This act empowered the Master of the Rolle and the Vice-Chaneellors to ait at chef...here, and directed that the order." made" by them should be en dinardy "dawn up" by their respective Merks—the one invoicing the exercise of a judicial soled, the other being a mere matter of fowl. Then power ssegiven to the Mater of the Roth. mid the V ice-Chan cellom to appoint two chief clerks each "fur the purpose of assisting in the general business of each court, and the causes and matters belonging thereto!' These were very general words, but it weld not be held that they extended to the exercise of the judicial authority ; fur that would be to give to the chief clerim—penons without position or rank in the profession —an authority beyond what hod been exercised by the uneaten. The object clearly was, that these chief elerka should be put he the place of the Oaks at the masters, as the wire-chancellors were substitute's fur the !nesters. The question inuuediately arise, could the minter, before the paring of the 15th end 16th Vic., have devolved the pee formence of judicial duties, upon his clerk l' Was there any Menne° of a master being &Meet from the melding of a het of contributories, devolving the duty °DIM clerk, and eati.fying binned( with signing it after ' and sign ing it with a wrong date, as had been done in thin case Nu suth insfunee could be found; and had such a ' practice prevailed, it would have increased the out cry against those functionaries very much. Then the ' eumtion returned, whether, in a ease of them descrip tion, where the list had been settled by the chief clerk, it could be said to bo legally and properly and rightly settled ; for if this bankrupt's 11111110 was not legally put upon the list ref centributories, of wens his estate would not be liable for this cult. The court thought that it had not been legally put there, and that the original defect could not be cured by the subsespient alteration. an erasures in the documents that had been put on tho tile. Thom were but attempts to make that emcee, to be right which was in its origin and substance clearly wrong. He was glad that his upineen was eubject to a much higher authority—to the best poesible authority on entailer of thie kind. The present Lord J eerie e Turner ',WOW of the parties who framed the chews of the Musters' Abolition Act; therefore he was better able to decide than any one whet powers were in tended to be given these chief clerks—what was meant by the words "msisting in the general Molinass of each court, end in the muss and matterabrionging thereto." Thin could not mean that the clerk was to sit for the judge, and determine all mat ken judicial or otherwise, sultieet only to the right of either party to call fee the presents of the judge, if he thought fit. But it was said the practice of the Court of Chancery had sanctioned this. If this were a practice of any long !standing, he could comprehend the argtunent ; but it had sprung up within a few yaws ; the act had only been passed in 1852; and five yeses wee hardly long enough to give auction to a practice which gainmiel and contradicted the express enact ments of the statute. But no length of practice could just* such a course. It Ins a principle of our law that the judi cial authority could not be delegated. It would be idie to cite came for this; he had known of hundred@ in hie experienee. A few years up, it was necessary to obtain a !paced art of priliament tet en wee the appointment of assistant judge., en the event of the di me. of the judge ' the principle being that the i e dt e l a l amp°. city could not be delegated without capreme statutory provi sion. In this one judicial authority ww; ',lac t ated to an in dividual who we. not appointed by 0`. 4 act, thee getting rid, in a matter of meth vial importance to the suitor an the settling of a ;t a t of contributories, of that check and contrek which the law meant to give to the suitor- -eamuly, the judicial mind of a person to the first re'ae of the profession, with all the experience and learninr which belonged to those eminent persons who reseeded . ste -.. the Courts of Equity. A parallel Cairn might be euPP Aced in that court. The registrars were eulenre . .ed, by a Weise in the Bankruptcy Corneli a...ion ' ly tete '.e.t for the comminionere, where necessary, i • e n, re•ei .. ..tempt to decide on a disputed adjudication, or on Royal •••• •e' cetitheate. Suppose that in the case of the etriterth Bank, 'where the adjudication was "'P ut. .el, Mr. Lewis being engaged as counsel, it, and which was heard by Mr. Commissioner Aroyd sad himeelf, they had thought fit not to attend, rad to devolve the duty on the regiatrar, and he had given , hit judgment on the care,—could that have been set right afterwards by drawing up an order as if made by the court ? Mr. Lewis would have been the first to say that ouch an adjuditstion was worth nothing, because the registrar had no power to make it ; and the act 15 and 16 Viet., gave • no power to the chief clerks of the vice-chancellors to make such orders as the,* referred M in this nee. Then it was said that the seal of the court, with the initials of the entering clerk, was nineteen's; but no authority had been produced to show this. In the Bankruptcy Act there were clauses directing that a seal of the court should be previded that it ehould be put on all proceedings , and that judicial notice should be Wien of it. No such authority had been shown in favour of the end of the Court of Chancery. Had these orders had the signature, or even the initials of the Vice• Chancellor, it would Lave made all the difference; but they wen only signed by Mr. Pugh, the chief clerk, whichwonld not suffice to authenticate them. Therefore, the party elaimieg to prove had not established his title to do so he had failed at the root ; he had failed because the ban krupt was never legally put uyin the list of toetribeffories. The court strongly held that opinion; but Mr. hewn took a very different view, and he would have the opportunity of urgthg bd. two judges, perhaps mere competent than any _ other persona to deride a matter of this kind. Another objection to the proof, rather anticipated by Mr. Lewis thia urged by Mr. Aspland was, that this was sot • proofed& debt at all. Bat that had bean determined by experts Nimbi:du, (2 Doom, 22, nig" 271.) Bs Val Weld Ida Lads-Judas Bruce and Cranworth, that nothing could be more unjoet ; but the 30th section of the 2n4 Winding up Act (12 and 13 Vsc.. es p. 10S) was etpress hi its enactment; end thoh Mr. Roundell Buttner did th e beet he could w ith the word" is" in the clause (which rev, " that whore say contributory of the company W • bankrupt or ineolccut," the official innuagi r may prove Reaille. his estate, and reeeive dividends " rateably with the other wilerate avditors"), coetending that it could not have reference to subsequent procceelinge, yet the court could not get rat of then express words.
