SUPPLY.—REPORT.
_ _

On Mr. Frnaor bringing up the report of the Committee
of Supply,
Sir F. BARING called attention to tith largeness of the 6
minute for retiring allowances to Irish poor law inspectors. h
but said he did not know whom to hold responsible far tt lq
because the present Chancellor of the Exchequer bad not it
oome into office when the initiate was made, syi
and the former Chancellor of the Exchequer had in
resigned ; he hoped, however, the government would el.
Cptae
eklzirgsome information on the subjoin. Many of these p
bad served only for three or four years, and then,
although really entitled to nothing, retired with as large • g
pension as would have been gives to a pulslie servant for a U
service of 24 years; and such a practice was, he thought, m.
la
mast Irregular and unsatisfactory. (Hear, bear.)
Sir D.NORRETS thought the mane panned by the
Treasury is mating these allowances was most uojusti-
Sable, and would tend to lessen confidence both in the civil g
service and the government.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
THIS DAY.

EQUITY COURTS.

111011 Till WUXI /DMUS= Or APPIAL.
!LIZ V. APPLIIIII.

Theis lordships delivered judgment I. this appeal from •
decision of W. W. M. James, Vies-Ctianeellar of the Daeby
Court of Chancery of the County Palatine of Lancaster.
The appeal was argued on the 24th July lut, by Mr. Bally,
Q C., and Mr. Little, in support of the decree of the Vice-
Chancellor, and Mr. Cairns and Mr. Selwyn for the appeal.
It appeared that the plaintiffs were mortgagees with
power of sale of the ship Lord Riversdale, under a deed ere-
lcuted in May, 18.51, sad duly registered according to the
requirements of the Ship Registry Act. The defendants
were @stilled, as mortgagees of the equity of redemption of
the lint mortgage deed, executed in 1852, also duly
registered; after which the plaintiffs, by deed exe-
cuted in 18.54, took • further chugs upon the
ship, which, however, was
the first mortgage having been paid off, the ship, by ar-
rangement between the parties interested, was sold, and the
question in the cans* was whether the plaintiffs were en-
titled to the farther charge to their mortgage, and so he
paid the balance of such mortgage together with the amount
of the farther charge, in priority to the demand of the
defendants, the second mortgaging.
Their Lordships, ravening the decision of the Vies-Chan-
cellor, held that, as the deed of further charge purported
to affect, not merely the proceeds of any and all of the
ship which might be made under the power of sale con-
tained in the first mortgage, bat the ship itself ; end inas-
much as the sale had not bees effected under the power
of sale, but by the concurrence of all parties interested in
the proceeds, the deed of further charge was void so far as
concerned the ship and its proceeds; and that the defend-
ants were entitled to be paid their mortgage next after the
balance due to the plaintiffs upon their mortgage of May,
1861.
Mr. C. E. Hawkins appeared for the pima is wheal
hands the proceeds of the sale of the ship were.
