r LAW INTELLIGENCE. TUESDAY, J•NUARY 26. COURT OF CHANCERY, Wmmisnra, The Lotto CBANCEI.I.oR ut i, his private room. LADY EMILY VANE TEMPEST, OR AAA, and a Ward of Court, by her next friend. H. A. TAY LOR, Elq. M.P. P. LORD STEWART. the COUN- TESs ANTRisi, ORDE, rind oTHIRS. Thr Somettoß-Cee ERA'. stated, that this was the applicetion of Loorol Stew :trl, proui 1004 that Mrs. Taylor, one of the tratamentary guardieits of the infant, should forthwith lodge MI appeal in the House of Lorchragiont the decision of his Lord ship. It was not necessary for him to state the facts of the case. His Lordship would recollect, that when thus case first came before him, it was oil the petition of Lord Stewart, making a proposal fir the infont in marriage ; which was tort by the petition of Mrs. Taylor, in opposition to the mo tion. A fterearde the Countess of Antrim, the aloother, o;rod other testamentary guardians of the ii.f.srit, presented a petition, praying that the mar. ri le proposed by Lord Stewart should be con filmed. Ili. Lordship referred it to the Master to consider and report, whether it was or was not a proper marriage for the infant. TN. Master report ed that it was a proper marriage. lb. Lordship, af ter !warring counsel, confirmed the Master's report in Joie la.t, but on his brit:;; informed that Nlrs. Tailor intruded to appeal from Ilia Lordship's Judgmeet to the House of Lords, his Lordship di rected that the parties should be enjoined from insoriage mud the decision of their Lordships was known. That the petition of appeal had tint been monk to the House of Peers, and lii• Noble iCoient, as it was natural for him, was aiixions that the question should be deternioned. It was known from the multiplicity of lousiness the House of Lords hail to get through by way of appeals, that if the present petition of 'weal was not resented at the niost ark. 'opportunity, two Sessions might occur without its being heard and decided oti, and the in fant, who was then 19 years of age, would not want the note' fruiter of his Lordship or of the llou.e of Lords, as she would he of full age, and could enter Otto what marriage contract she thought proper.— The intention of the present application was, that if the appeal was not prosecuted, that so much of his Lordship's order of July might lie discharged as related to the appeal. Ills Learned I: nieuds, Sir Arthur Piggott and hl r. Horne, sere Counsel with bine but he understood it wi.s not their intention to enter further into the circumstances of the case, if not obliged by what opposition was made to his 'notion. Ile also iiroderstood Mr. Abercrutnby held a brief for Mrs. Taylor. Mr. ASERCISOMBY said, lie appeared as Counsel fir Mrs. Tajlur, but lie was at a loss to know the intailieg of the present application. The notice of motion was served on the 21st of January, and it etas wt II known to every person acquainted with p al hamentare lousiness, that the House of Lords, tier its terse sitting, ellowed fourteen days fur the presenting of petitions of appeal. Sir A winos Ptoeorr said, that the meaning of the application was, that there should be no oil necessary delay in the appeal presented—it was not an ordinary case, it %satires o f extreme de licacy, and it was the duty of Isis noble Client that there bill/11111 net be any lark if urgency on his von in forwarding it in that sl ape winch it could only he How decided on. Ile .:ould not ask for any order (hat the petition of r ppeal should be pre sented before the fourteen days, according to the re gidatiors of the House of Lords ; but his Noble Client wished for en assurance that ik should be presented iu the fourteen slays. He now trusted that his Learned Friend (Mr. Abercrumby) under stood the motive of the application. Mr. HoRNE, on the same side, said it was un necessary for him to add any thing to what had been said by his Learned Friends. Mr. lIART said he was Counsel for the Countess of Ammo, the mother, and one of the testamentary gliarthana of the infant, and his Noble Client could not see the motive of suspending the appeal over the heads of the parties. Mr. A DERCROMBY observed he had heard nothing that should change his first opinion that this appli cation was unnecessary. There was tin reason to suppose that Mrs. Taylor did not intend to present her petition of appeal within the time allowed by the (louse of Lords. But if it'W443 any satisfaction to his Learned Friends, he would assure them it was the intention of his Client to preform the appeal in the time limited, and to prosecute it with vigour. It was unnecessary for him to say any thing more than that he was sure his Lordship would dismiss the application. The LORD CHANCELLOR- 4 ' The Standing Or der of the House of Lords is, that all appeals shall be lodged within fourteen days after the com mencement of the Session, hut that time is enlarged, particularly in cases of appeals Irons Ireland and Scotland. I cannot see how ally order of mine could make Mrs. Taylor declare whether she intend ed to present her petition of Nimrod within four teen d iys or not, fur if she did not, on a pro per application to the House of Lords, their Lordships would grant her further time, but if she neglected to du this on an application to me, I trust I would make a proper order; but the pre sent applicatiou is premature, sod of coarse I dis miss it. It is well k lova to, that an appellant may :repeal to the I liouae of Lords five years after the decision of the Court below, hut it is for the party appealing to consider whether it will be of ally -avail: so with a pauper who has been well whipped by the order of the Ma g istrates, he may appeul to the Quarter Sessions afterwards against the cotivic ikon, but it is fur him to consider whether it will remove the stripes he, has received." Mr. ABERCRoSiDy— I, I hope your Lordship will diaini.s the motion' with costs." .The I.oau CH•NCEI.t.OQ—" In such a ease as this, I tlnuk the less that is said about costs the better."—Applicaison dismiued.

Sir A RTIWIL PIGGOTT, at the runiK of the Court, regoested that his Loill.hip would hear the further obter►ationa or Counsel i►► this motion on Thursday n►orniug. Ile had intimated this appli cation to his Learned Friend, Mr. Wingfield, who dill not object. The Loap CHANcELLog--" Let it be so." COURT OF KIND'S BENCH, WrATMINSTER, TURADAY, JANUARY 26. TIERNEY r. RING. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 5421. Is. tid. drawn by Messrs. Eggleso and power, upholsterers, of Dublin, on Mr. John King (the husband of Lady Lanesboronah), accepted by him, endorsed over to the Plaintiff, by the drawers, and made payable in Dublin. A verdict was re turned for the Plaintiff of 500/. 7s. 91. English currency, being equal to !Lig/ r 8-l. I I currency. In the course of last Term, Mr. Tomtit% moved for and' obtained a rule to skew cause why the yer diet should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered —on the ground, that, by the declaration, it ap peared, the Plaintiff claimed 542/. Is. /Id. English currency, whereas, the bill purported to be drawn for 5421. Is. Bd. Irish, being 1-20th less than the sum declared iiiton. Mr. 51ARRYATT shewed cause. lie contended that. the lirclar;altoll was correct, ivarnwch as, through the whole course of the limo -tiling, the bill having been drawn in Ireland, made piyahle there, sod the verdict returned tor a sent, lent to what was claimed in Irish coriency, it wds clear that Irish money was well understood to be that which the Plarittiff claimed. The declaration did not purport to be on a bill drawn in England. It was true that it was not described to have been drawn in Ireland, specifically—but it was stated that the bill was made in Dublin, and, undoubt edly it could only have been issued with reference to the money of the place where it purported to have been drawn. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—" How does it appear, on the declaration, that this bill was drawn at 1)ullne, iu Ireland There may be a Dublin iu America, or even in this country." Mr. MARRYATT—" Looking to the evidence, there can be no doubt on that point." Mr. Justice BAYI,LY—" We cannot refrr to the evidence. We must confine ourselves to the declaration." The Cuffs JUSTICE —" Every one who hook. at the declaration mum suppose that the Plaintiff is proceeding for English money. whereas, it ap pears that the bill is drawn for Irish currency. The difficulty you have to encounter is, to ►haw that the declaration is properly ►et out for the re covery of 54-2/. Irish currency." Mr. MbititYATT reiterated his argument. that the bill, being drawn in Dublin and made parable there, and haviiir , been properly set forth, the decla ration asifecient to enable the Plaintiff to recover a aunt of Irish money. Mr. LITTLEDALE followed ou the same aide. The CIIIEF JUSTICE said, the question was, whether an English Judge, sitting iii an English Court of Justice, and reading a declaration, con taining the words 542/. Is. ed. without the intro duction of any express►on to skew that they did nut meals English money, could consider them as allu ding to any other species of currency? He thought that he could not. Was there any reason to sup pose, that 5421. of Irish and not of English money Was meant ? If so, it could only be found in the words.—" drew his bill in Dublin, to wit, at 11'e•t tninster.' Dot there might be other places called Dublin, not iu Ireland—und, us the Plaintiff did not choose to state " Dublin, in Ireland,"—the Learned Judge could see no reason for summon.. that any other than English money was referred to in the declaration. The othir Judges concurred iii this opiniou— and the rule fora monsmit was made absolute. CAMERON and OTHERS, Assignees V GEORGE LANG, V. SMITH. This was an action of trover and conversion. The Defendant was petitioning creditor under a com mission of bankruptcy sued ou: against Lang. It appeared that he had held a bill of exchange for 9G!. 7s. 10d. accepted by the bankrupt. which be- I came slue oo the 18:1i of January, 1810. It was not honoured, and the commission issued oil the 8111 of October, 1815, the interest accruing on the hill up to that time, making, together With the priori pal, a stun of more than 100/. which the Defendant proved, and received his dividend. At the trial a verdict was given for the Defendant, with. liberty to the 11. , intiffs' Counsel to move for a new trial. on two points—let. Whether the depositions of a per son named Com)Ily, now deceased, were admissible in evidence, they bring " I lepositions taken in the matter of James, instead of George Lang, a bankrupt ;" and, grl, Whether interest due on a bill of exchange could be added to the principal, au as to constitute a valid iteritioning creditor's debt? In the course of last Term, Mr. MARRY ATT obtained a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granteri. Mr. SCARLETT now sliewed cause. Willi respect to the first point, he considered that it was of very little importance. The deposition could not be supposed to have been taken under a commissiou is• sued against James Lang, since it was not pretend ed that there waa any such con iiii istion in existence —and the general head to the whole body of docu ments, of which this deposition formed a part, was perfectly correct. The question was, whether a mere clerical error, should he suffered to deprive a party of Ins defence. Surely it was not a matter of so solemn and important a nature, as a writ of right, to which an aiiirodmesit could be allowed. With. respect to the petitioning creditor's debt, lie ar gued,that it might be formed of the principal, tom blued with the interest, due on a hill of exchange. A case, he miderstood, was recently tiled iii the Court of Common Pleas, in which it was decided, that interest ought not to be allowed out of the bankrupt's rotate. Thee was true, after the act of bankruptcy had been cominitted—but, he believed, it could not be doubted, that interest was allowable up to that period. A bill of exchange and the in terest.due on it would form a just ground, not only for an actitor of assarapsit, but for an action of debt —and it was an identical proposition, that, if it would sustain an action fur debt, it might with propriety be proved under a to 111 l lesion of batik tuptry. Mr. GunN Er also supported this propos& . Mr. Justice BAY I.EY—" When U.S action of debt is brought on a bill of exchange, it is fur the prin cipal only. The intereq i. given by the Jury, as damages for the injury the sustained by the detention of the principal." Mr. M AIRYATT, in support of the rote, coo tendril, that interest was not allowed, iu cases of bankruptcy, unless the on which it was claimed, stipulated spetitically, that it was to be paid. A bill of exchange was nut an iostrullieur of that description. lit some itc.tatices, a Jury would not give any interest on a bill of exchange. Sup pose a bill became payable, moil the acceptor was ready to take it up, but that it not presented for a tadvemotith, a Jury wool, , not, tit t h at case, give interest, since the delay on with the Plaintiff. The general proposition, therefore, that interest was always recoverable, was not coriect.— The question, was, however, set at rest by a decision of Lord Ilardwicke, who held that interest on a bill of exchange could not be claimed out of a bank rupt's estate. This principle has, ever since, been acted on. The COURT held, that, except where the terms of the iostrumeut, expressed distinctly that it was payable with naterest, the proof of debt, under a COMIIII%SIOII, must be confined solely to the prin cipal. The opinion of Lord liaidwicke, which was mince supported by a case in the Court of Common Pleas, was drelSiVt• 0111111 s point. When an action was brought on a bill of exchange, interest was not claimed as part of the debt, but was recovered in the shape of daniages , , and of damages onh•.— Where thfere was a penalty, as in the case of a •botl, the interest might he added to the principal, bec.ubie it was so much of the penalty that was taken from the party. Though the custom of trade hail superinduced a practice of giving interest, yet it could not he received as putt of the del e, but as damages—and, whether the action weir of debt, sir of assumpsit, the Jury were not ['amid to give 5 per cent. interest. During a very consitlesaisle period of time, it was 16 invariable practice to l ose 4 per cent. only—because, looking to the value of money at that time, it was considered that a 'mill was Hot datilliified to a weater nntouut than 4 per cent. by not having the principal in his pocket.
