~~, ; , , COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 11. Exports NETTLETON, in the Metier Of NETTLETON. Sir S. ROMILLY stated this to be an application on the part of the Lunatic, to have his commission su perseded or followed up. The Petitioner was taken into custody in the month of June last, on the appli cation of a Mrs. Gnilyeard, his sister. After remain ing for a short time in prison under the warrant of a MAgis.y.tte, he was committed to the Asylum for Lunati, sat York, where he now remains. The com mission was taken out against the Petitioner on the sth December last, but no proceeding had yet been held under it. Mr. RUSSELL, for the sisor, plaadcd the smallness of the property of the Lunatic, consisting of three cottages, of annual value £B, and about £6OO in money, as being the cause why no steps had been taken to follow up the Commission, the sister of the Lunatic not wishing to burden his estate with an ex pence it could not support. The LORD CHANCELLOR, however, could not allow a commission to be held out in terrorem. It mast either be proceeded on in a month, or be superseded. Ex parte SCOTT, in the matter of Jultas, LANGI,EY, and deratlon for the bill ; he gave it to *Cullum for a I like valuable consideration ; and when the acceptor became bankrupt, though be, the petitioner, had lomitted to pia his name on the bill when he gave it to *Cullum, he esteemed himself equally bound to take the bill back, and repay the valuable considera tion be had received for it. In point of eqiiity there fore, as well as of law, was the present claim justly entitled to be proved under the commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that at the period of the bankruptcy the petitioner was not at all interested in the bankrupt funds. The name of the petitioner was not on the bill, so that no respbnsibility arising from it attached to him, nor could he have been compelled to pay it. He might, while *Cul -1 lum was the holder, have obliged him to claim on the bankrupt estate, and account to him for his relief pi o canto ; but it he chose to place himself ia a worse situation by paying the bill himself, the Court could not assist him. The paying away of the bill with out the petitioner's own indorsement, the Court could not regard as a negotiable transaction, but only as a transaction of sale and purchase, by which the bill was sold outright, and on account of which, therefore, no demand could afterwards be set up against the petitioner. If, however, the Learned Counsel (Mr. Cook) wished it, he should allow a case to be re , served on the subject for trial at law. Of this Mr. Conk accepted. EX-PARTE JONES—IN THE M ATTER OP JONES. This was an application on the part of an unfor tunate bankrupt of the name of Richard Jones, who had succeeded in getting the commission against him superseded with Costs, to have the bill of his attor- Iney, Mr. Richard Hill, taxed by Mr. Stanley, the master to the former proceedings in the cause. Mr. Hu.t., in a long affidavit filed by him, stated a settlement and release to have taken place, but he, by his Counsel at the same time, expressed his readi ness to have his bill taxed, and even to give up £5O besides the sun) to which the master might reduce his account, provided the petitioner would find security to pay whatever sum, more than that he had agreed to accept of, should be found due to him.—The bank rupt not being in a condition to find surety, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, here there could be no question. This was a thing quite of course. Mr. HART for the petitioner, stud, then surely his client was entitled, an affidavit consisting of 50 odd sheets having been filed in this case, which was stated by his Lordship to be quite of course to have his costs. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, this should depend on the result of the question of costs. Sir S. ROMILLY, for Mr. Hill, suggested that the taxation of the Bill should be sent to the Master in rotation. This was resisted on the part of the petitioner, on the ground that Mr. Stanley had already taxed a great part of these proceedings as between party and party. His Lordship accordingly ordered the reference to be made to Master Stanley. IRISH COURT OF CHANCERY. PERCEVAL ROCHE, ESQ. V. DENNIS O'BRIEN. . _ This cause which excited so much interest, occu pied the attention of the Court for several days, and after a re-hearing at the instance of the defendant, re ceived the final judgment of the Court. It appeared that Jordan Roche, Esq. the plain tiff's grandfather, was seized of a valuable estate, in the county of Kilkenny, for life, with remainder to Thomas Roche, Esq. the plaintiis father. Thomas was an extravagant man, devoted to pleasure and excesses, and a fit subject for imposition. The defendant claimed a relationship to him, and in November, 1770, in the life-time of his father, pro cured from him a fee-farm grant of the estate at a rent of two hundred and sixty pounds a-year, to c )m -mence from his father's death. In 1805 Thomas was thrown into the Marshalsea, where the defendant suffered him to remain until his death, entirely under the influence of the defendant, who out of his rent supplied him with a small weekly allowance. In October, 1786, Thomas died in prison, leaving a widow and two sons, the plaintiffs, Perceval and James, both then of tender years, and thereupon the defendant set up an instrument which he termed the last will and testament of Thomas, by which his two sons were left no more than twenty guineas each per annum, for life ; his wife (a gentlewoman of most tespectaSle connections) unnoticed and unnamed, and the residue of his estate and fortune given to the defendant O'Brien. This will appeared witnessed by defendant's Clerk, and defendant attempted toprove it in the Court of Prerogative, where it was condemned. In 1789, plaintiffs filed their bill, impeaching the grant of 1770 and the will, and in the year 1792, the plaintiff had scarcely attained his age, when he was obliged t 6 execute a deed, purporting to confirm the fee-tarrn grant of 1770, and to release a large arrear of rent, upon defendant's relinquishing the preten ded will. a c 1,t ;,. 4 If ••,‘ ti r. 3 beal. , and dim. ed khich avin t h still lettei RIP ni it. heat, taloa ly at. ipany vbich Tani with Lady sand itl of and Inty), Sir J. tke ten. JUKES: In this case, the parties carrying on business in London, and as Bankers at Gosport, two different commissions had been taken out against them in dif ferent ch aracters, so that the whole of four persons interested were twice made bankrupt. To prevent the unnecessary expence of such proceedings, this petition was presented, for the purpose of setting aside the commission at Gosport, and that all the praceed ings should take place under the commission in Lon don. By a separate petition, however, a commission for proving debts at Gosport was prayed, so as to prevent the holders of £1 notes at Gosport from being under the necessity of coming up to London to prove their debts. For those peculiarly interested under the Gosport commission, it was argued by Mr. HART, that it would be advisable, even though that commis sion should go no farther, that, for the satisfaction of the numerous creditors at Gosport, an examination of the Bankrupts should take place there. Sir S. Rosni.ts, for the Assignees, under the com mission in town, contended that all that could be de sired as essential to the interests of the Creditors in the country was, that they should have liberty to prove their debts at Gosport, as had lately been granted in the case of the Exeter Bank. _ . The LORD CHANCELLOR was of this opinion. It was necessary that a proof of All notes should be al lowed in the place where issued, that Country Bank ers might not suppose, in the event of their failure * that they were subject to no demand on account of their Al notes. But, as to examination of the Bank ipts, under a Commission which could not carry along with it the legal penalties attached to an exami nation under a valid commission, that was not to be countenanced. Here, if, as was desired, the bankrupts should be examined both at London and Gosport, for their examination in London they were liable ; for that at Gosport they were not ; and, in this way might they commit at Gosport as many falsehoods as they choose, without being at all accountable. This might be remedied by reserving to the Creditors at Gosport, who could easily instruct an agent to attend for them in town at any examination of the bankrupts —if such examination should be refused them—to ap ply to the Court for that purpose. His Lordship also thought, as the Cotrhnission in Gosport was only auxiliary to that in town, that the conduct of the commission should now devolve on the town Solicitors—the costs of these proceedings to be paid out of the funds peculiarly belonging to the Gos port concern. AUGUST 13.—BANKRUPT PETITIONS. RX•FARTS ISLUSTER, IN THE MATTER OF ASHLEY. This was an application for liberty to prove a debt of £4OO, under the commission. It appeared that the bankrupt was the acceptor of a bill of exchange for £4OO, drawn on him by a person of the name of Bell, by whom it was indorsed to the petitioner, Is luster, who again, but without indorsing it, paid it to a person of the name of M'Cullum, in whose posses sion it was at the time the commission was sued out. The petitioner, after this, repaid the money to Mac- Cullum, and received back from him the bill, on which he claimed to be allowed to prove under the commission; but the proof was refused, on the ground that, at the date of the commission, the petitioner was not a creditor of the bankrupt. Sir S. RosIILLY and Mr. AGAR ) in support of the decision of the commissioners, argued upon the num berless evils which must result from the countenan cing of the doctrine now contended for by the peti tioner. If the claims on the estate of a bankrupt were allowed to get into other bands after the bank ruptcy, from those in which they had been at the date of the commission, the administration of the affairs of the bankrupt estates would be thrown open to every species of fraud and inconvenience. Let it be suppos ed, for instance, that any one person, at the period of the failure of any of the country bankers, of whom, unfortunately, they at present heard so much, held to I the amount of 41000, of their sel notes, would it be permitted to such person, for the purpose of depriving the country banker of his certificate, by rendering it impossible that he should have the requisite number of concurring creditors, to parcel out his £lOOO among fifty different persons, all of whom would have an equal right to object to the certificate, and to be counted in the number of creditors under the com mission, although at the time of the bankruptcy they were not at all interested in it, and were only intro. duced from some unworthy or malignant motive ? Again, if this rule of proceeding were to be adopted, would it not be in the power of any holder of a bill, who knew that his claim against the bankrupt estate could be met by a counter demand, to put an end to this' plea of set-off on the part of the estate of the bankrupt, by making over his debt to some friend or other third party, in whose hands it would not be subject to any such claim ? In this way, every set. off, and indeed every objection to any claim made *against a bankrupt estate might easily be guarded against. Mr. Coax, for the petitioner, contended that a claim on a bill of exchange arose to the person ulti mately holding it against any of the other parties ;lia ble in the payment of the bill, and who might become bankrupt from the period of the currency of the HI.

The race for the Plate was nobly contered, each of the three heats won with considerable dim. cu'ty, particularly the two List, which were gained in only a head, by the Hambletonian colt. Snailovhich entered at the post, was the favourite, and having laid by the first heat, which was won by Chryseis, cintinued sc f r some time. At starting for the secoid, Chryseis was hete t ] aga'nst the Fieldbut the H.imbletoni.m colt 1 a, ni pu h?cl him hard, and gaining the he:tt, became 1.4 favourite—S: ail having broke down in running it. Only Chryseis and the colt started for the $d he a r, which, as before observed, was won with th e utmost difficulty by the latter. The ground was numerously, but not genteel) , at. tended, as the more fashionable parr of the company wzre employed in dressing for the Race Ball, which proved a very brilliant one. Amongst the csmtpany there we noticed the Duchess of M 'nchester, with her lovely daughter; Lady Jane Montagu, Lady Hinchinbrook, Lady Olivia Sparrow, Lady Cotton, Mrs. Fellowes, and most of the families of this and the adjoining counties. Amongst the Gentlemen we noticed the Eat! of Sandwich, Lord Hinchinbrook, Mr. Fellowes and Mr. Farmer (Members for the Town and County), Sir Alured Clarke, KB. Sir Charles Banbury, Sir'. Arundel, and a long train of La :ionables. I.ONDOh MARKLTi Manifold and curious (and too tedious to detail) were the devices adopted by the defen&nt to evade the payment of the rent reserved under the fee-farm grant, until at length, in 1799, plaintiff brought to trial an action, instituted in the Common Pleas, for recovery of the arrears, and obtained a verdict for 41550, upon which defendant having taken a bill of exceptions, which were ruled against him, filed a bill in the Court of Excheqtter for an injunction to re strain plaintiff from his benefit of the verdict ; and i in the year 1801, the plaintiff, harrassed and borne down by litigation, while defendant withheld his rent from him, and finding himself no longer able to en counter such an adversary, was obliged to execute l'another deed to the defendant, by which he released Ihim froin the verdict, and all arrears of rent, and the costs of several suits, and also reduced the fee-farm rent by £4O a-year for ever, in consideration of 8300, £250 of which was secured by defendant's bond, and defendant shortly afterwards procured the reduced fee ' farm rent to be sold for payment of an incumbrance I affecting the estate. The plaintiff's case was most ably sustained by Messrs. Plunkett, Burston, and E. Penefather, and *very argument the defendant's case could admit of, i strongly urged by the Attorney and Solicitor Gene. t rals, Messrs. Burne and O'Driscoll. The Chancellor I was pleased to confirm his former decree, by which ' all the dealings between defendant and Thomas and 1 Pcrceval Roche are decreed fraudulent and void.— The plaintiff decreed to the possession of his estate, land the defendant to pay him the mesne rates since the year 1792, and costs of tlee suit.

Saturday se'nnight, the Silver Arrow given by the Town et Musselburgh, was shot for upon the Links there, by the Royal, Company of Archers, and gained by JOHN LEVEN, Esq. W.S. This ancient Arrow was first gained by the Earl of HADDI Nurox, but the records of the burgh do not mention the year. The first year upon record is 1601 ; since then it has been, with a few exceptions, regularly contended far down to the present time, and was delivered over to Mr. LKVEN, having appended to it 125 medals of silver and five of gold. From the records, it appears that the number of archers having greatly dimini hed: the Town, in 1679, to order to obtain a fuller attendance, agreed to present the successful competitor with a Silver Bowl, in the form of a mussel-shell. On the present occasion, the company, after their retarn, sat down to an entertainment in the house of Mr. Mon which was prepared in a style that would have done credit to one of the first taverns in the metropolis ; and the day was spent with the utmost conviviality. By the old use and custom of the burgh of Musselburgh, observed for upwards of two centuries, the Magis trates presented the company with as much claret as could be carried on a coal sieve.
