LAW INTELLIGENCE. •••wl..p••m••• tOURT OP CHANCERY, Livcours-122, Tiousewar, Jinx 23. •Mi..•• &DIMWITS and OTHER. V. PEAK. S,r S. Hoist BAY moved, on the part of the Plain tiff., that the Defendant should be ordered to pay the sum of 1,3001. into Court. It appeared that the Plaintiffs and the Defendant were in partnership es calico-printers. The partnership was intended to hive lasted for seven yeses. The Defendant had the management of the business, and on ac count of his skill was admitted • partner, although leis capital was small compared to that of the Plain tiffs. l's the year 1817 an account of the stock was taken, when they found that their losses had amounted to 4.000/. The Plaintiffs thea had a manager put in to carry on the business at Man chester, and he was sending goods up to the Plain tiff's' house in London, to the amount of 4.0001. when the Defendant intercepted and pledged them to the house of Events for 1 , 3001 . The - Plaintiffs had sloe given the Defendant three bills of ex climge for 3001. for a specific purpose, which he had applied to his own use. He (Sir S. Romilly) applied some time beck to his Lordship for an in junction to restrain the Defendant from interfering In the business, which was granted. He was aware that it was not usual for the Court to order money to* be paid in before the Defendant bad put in his answer; but he, the Defendant, had, nowever, filed an affidavit, in which he did not deny hut he had put the money to Isis own use, and the Plaintiffs understood that he was about to enter into another partnership. Under those considerations he, the Learned Counsel, trusted that his Lordship would grant the motion. Stoasorwou followed on the same side, and contended. that the case of Jervis and White, re ported in 6th Vag, was in point. There • young officer was enticed by the appearance of an adver tisement in • public newspaper, to enter into part nership with the Defendant. as • liquor-merchant, but lie soon found out that the pretended trade was a bubble, and the Lord Chancellor ordered the Defendant to pay into Court the money he had received from the Plaintiff before his (the Defen dant's) answer was pot in. The Souctreon-Ogestat., Counsel for the De resident, contended, that the Court would never order money to be paid in before an answer was filed, except in the case of • gross fraud, which was not the case here, as the parties were partners as printers, and the Plaintiffs were also partners as merchant,, boils in London and at Manchester, and the close of the loss in the printing concern wu, that the Plaintiffs, as merchants. charged too high • price for the printed calicoes, which prevented their selling them. The Defendant did not deny that he stopped the goods coming from Mooches ter, bat says, they were not going to a third per son hut to the Plaintiffs' house in London, nor did he deny that lie had applied the bilk to his owu use, but imisted that he was entitled to do so, as the partnership concern was indebted to him in a much larger um. He (the Solicitor-General) con tended, th.it this ease was not similar to that of Jervis and White, quoted by his Learned Friend (Mr. Sidehottom), as it wu merely a dispute he- %wren partners. He, therefore, had no doubt but be/ Lordships would refuse the motion. The Loan CSAIICELLOR—" Where are the goods now ?" The SoucaOlt-GtuERSI.--" In the bands of the patent." Tile LORD CNANCILLOII...." In the ease of 'facia and White. the Court thought that the partneisliip itself was a fraud." Sir Samoa& Rintataar replied. The Loa. CuairLata.oa.—.4 That case of Jervis and White certainly does not bear on this ; I do not think if a partner gets into his hands the money of a partnership, without fraud, before an injunction is granted. I cannot order him to pay it into Court before he has put his answer in. What I have to de termine is, how did he get it auto his hands. Give me the papers and I will read them to see bow that tact 1.." Judgment postponed. STALE. MILL, and OMER., g. TNg MARQUIS OF HASTINGS, EVANS, CANNAGE, end OTHERS. Sir S. HOMILLY stated, this was an application of the Plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and the other judgment creditors of the Marquis of Hustings, praying that the Defendants. Evans and Can age, the trustees of the Marquis to carry into effect So Act of Parliament for the sale of certain estates which belonged to the Marchioness of Hastings, as Giantess nf Loudon, and which she had given up for the payment of the Noble Marquis's bond and judgment debts, might be ordered to pay into Court the sum of 8,43 W. which they had received as part of the proceeds of the sale. There was an upplicatiou made some time back to the Court, when the Defendants, the trustees, were ordered to go before the Master and account. sad a schedule was made out, and there only appeared a balance of SOO/. as being in the hands of the trustees. The Plaintiffs, however, objected to several items of the account, which the Defendant. Evans, had t hinged a. bills of costs due to himself, and many Of them after the present bill was filed in the year 1813, which he was not authorised to do, as it a. s the intention of the Act of Parliament. and of the iltrd of trust, that only the bond and judg. went ctedttors should be paid out of the proceeds of the mates. Therefore the trusters were bound to p.ey tutu Court all sums of money they had re. Istivrd .nice the filing the bill, which outuutited to 5,4001. The LORD CHANCELLOR..-."

Previous thereto, Dr. Crichton bad been imprisoned in the gaol of Dumfries by some of his creditors, where he remained cosifilied, and could not, in consequence, attend the Diets of Presbytery in person. In this dilemma, the Pres bytery applied by Petition to the Court of Session, proposing that they, as well as the Sy I, should hold their sittings in the Court-house of Dumfries, and craving that Dr. Crichton should be brought by a proper warrant front the prism's to the Court house, to attend the different meetings. The Court appointed the Petition to be intimated to Dr. Crichton, and to his incarcerating creditors, and therefore remitted to the Clerk of Process to search for precedents. The Clerk having reported that there were two cases very much Itt point, and one of them bearing a strong analogy to the present ap plication, the Court prououuced the following in terlocutor 7th Jai,, ISIS—The Lords having resumed considera tion of this retitle., with the Report by the Clerk in terse of the last iaterkientor of Court, they appoiot thefacie trate, of Dosafries to allow the Presbytery and Synod of Dumfries to meet is the Court-hush there, from time to time, fur the purpose vacationed in the Petition; and grunt warrant to authorise sad ordain the Magistrates of Dom fries and their giolet to bring the person of the Rey.

Three Special Jurors. however, only attended, and a tales was therefore prayed on the part of the The pleadings having been opened, by which st appear.. ed that the Plaintiff's claim amounted to the sum o f 3.00 et. of which 2,0004 had beets paid tow Court, Mr. Serjeunt POLL stated the general cira cumataiires of the case. The Plaintiff was • person engaged in a very ex. tensive Imo of husinese in the city of Bath, where the late Lord Peterborough had for some time be. fore his death generally resided. He died, how. ever, in Jour, 1814, at his test at Mulvey, distant from Bath about 26 miles. Upon this occasion sp. plication was made to Mr. Dore to undertake the superintendence of the funeral on a svide of un usual magnificence. It was natural that he should accept this offer, as it not only involved a very con siderable profit, but furnished the opportunity of displaying his skill in a very peculiar branch of business. He was sure the minds of the Jure would not be unfavourably prepossessed towards that claim of his client, merely on account of the extent or apparent enormity of his demand. The question depended on the torture of the contract, and on the fact of the work undertaken having been performed. The payment of a large portion of the debt into Court excluded from comideration every poi n t ex cept the hare reasonableness of the various items of which the Plaintiff's demand was composed. Tim sum now disputed amounted to 900/. and us all infernos at so amicable adjustment of this differ. euce had unfortuusitely failed, his client lied !wen driven to his action against the executors. It would appear in evidence, that Mr. Dore received his first instructions on this subject. from MI itelittiste friend of the late Lord Peterborough, Mr. Smith, who informed him that the funeral was to be con. ducted iu uo ordinary way, and that he must exercise his own judgment in the preparation ad, on a 'iolsei of adequate splendour. In addition to this. it *mild be proved. that Mr. Coatis Trotter, one of the exe cutor,. persoually attended the funeral, and must have been aware of its nature, and the expen-e which it necessarily involved. He might remark also, that although the bill was scoot in immediately after the funeral, no objection was made to the charges it contained for a period of six mouths. The Defendants had not, tlwrrfore, been very suddenly .track with the excess cf the demand made upon them. He would state, also, with. out fear of contradiction. that the cerennoly hail been crinducied in every respect with the up.ot perfrct order, and . .to strict conformity to the gene. ► u
