Sir Edward Segura sat yesterday for the tires time, in the
Court of Chancery, since his appointment as Lord High
Chancellor. There seemed to be much curiosity oo the
part of the puhae to see the learned chancellor take his
seat. Before the hour appointed for the sitting. the narrow
portage of approach to the hall pr. rented the appearance of
a theatre enttance on " hoeing night," and immediately oa
the door being opened there wtta a rush into the hall, sad
every available spot from which a view of the bench could
►e obtained was occupied by the eager crowd.
At 12 sicls,ek the Lord Chancellor took his plan as the
bench. aceonpanie4 by the Lords Justices, Lord Cranworth
and Sir J. Knight Brut!, Sir John It..milly, the Master of
the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellors Sir George Turner, Sir J.
Parker, ent: Sir 11 Kinienley, and Masters Brougham and
Ferrer.
The Clerk of the Crown then proceeded to read the
oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjureties, which were
taken in the usual torus by his lordship, the Gospels being
handed by the Master of the Rolls. The Lord Chancellor
having taken the malts, then read the declaration in d, fence
of the established church o England; and having shaken
hands with the equity judges. these learned persons retired.

Sir W. Nee %sal made a motion in this ease, but from
the wise made by the crowd of eight-seers it was made in
pantomime. Ile was supposed to Ask his lordship to hear
the ease in • full court at appeal.
Tho Lord Maserllur was understood to say that ea far as
osawerntd the h gal point, whether the inquisition was tra-
versable, he was n ugly so to hear it; bat if it was proposed
to go Ist, the merits, he could nut no why the Leeds Jus-

It is ma app al ham a decree of the Vice-Chancellor Haight
Brace, disnii-siog the plaintiff's bill. The Itev. 111 r. Lett*,
the *Maur. is rector of the perish of St. Olen, in the City,
and he sought by his bi,i to ..htsin a decree for payment of
tithes on the present value of the property occupied by the
&festinate th- London Corn Exchange. It appeared
that when the defer.dants obtained an act of incorporation
in ISM, an arrangement wasentered into between the com-
pany sad the hey. Dr. Owen, who was then rector, by
which be agreed to ac.ept a NM in respect of tithes of
2a. 9d. la the pound on the rack natal of the houses to be
palled down. It seemed from the statement offsets that it
WM esatingent on the reverend doctor's acceptance of
teems offered, whether the company would proceed to erect
an onside of the street or the other, it being thus in their
power to build out of the parish of St. °lave. The agree-
ment, however, was concluded by which Dr. Owen
tempted a plymeat of about 701. • year, which he con-
tinued to receive till the cud of his incumbency. In Do-
sombee, 1537, the present plaintiff was presented to the
reetor,T. and inducted in January following. From that
time down to the year 1117 be continued to receive the
ansuat paid to his predecessor. About that time, however,
in consequent: of a decision is this court on the subject of
London tithes, the plaintiff claimed tithes on the yearly
value of the new buildings erected, estimated at about
3.0001. • year. A correspondence took place between the
parties oa the subject; but, as they were unable to come to
any amicable arrangement, the present Lill wu filed.
Mr. Bethel] and blr. Speed, iu support of the appeal,
submitted that the mom y paid to Dr. Owen mid to the
plaintiff was not paid as composition, but wee indisputably
paid ea tithe ; and that, tiro if it was to be considered as a
composition, it was a composition and agreement personal

la this the it appeared that the corporation of Liverpool
had given notice to the plaintiff that they intended to take
certain land belonging to him ander the powers of an act of
parliament for the purpose of canal:aches waterworks to
espply the town of Liverpool with water. No farther
steps bad been taken by the corporation for purchasing the
land, but their contractor for the works had placed some
earth cuts and rails upon the ►and with the consent of the

tion was now made on behalf of the phintiff for an injunc-

The corporation, in answer, denied that they ever Rage
their contractors permission to place the carb on the land,
and contended that they were not responsible for the aete of
their workmen.

Mr. Mahn' and Mr. ()dried appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Follett and Mr. James for the corporation.

This was a suilorthitarfniiTit7trationof the estate of a
Mr. Baldwin, who died in 1848. The persons minded
under the di-tribstiun of the intestate's estate were name-
lOW. One of the next of kin of the intestate was a lady
called Green. :the and bee husband were parties to the
suit. In this suit Mrs. Green, who appeared separably
from her husband, asked for a settlement. The husband,
Mr. Green, being a lunatic, his committee vented to a
settlement of one-balf, the committee having previously
obtained the +sixteen of the nowt in the matter of Mr.
Green's Wilsey. Proposals were earned into the Master's
dice for &settlement of roe moiety upon the wife and the
children of the marriage, and were approved of by the
Master, when the husband died, before any further steps
had been taken either towards the settlement or the reduc-
tion of tee wife's share into p seession. Under too hus-
band's will, wide prior to his lunacy, his children became
entitled to his propery, in cam he died possessed of
Mil. Green's share, in most unequal proportions. After-
wards Mrs. Oren died, having made a will on the ammo.
Boa that her shore nested in herself to the exclusion of Mr.
Green, by which she equalised the proportions to be taken
by her children under the (other's will.
The ease now came on upon further directions, when
It became necessary to decide whether the proposals for the
settlement had gone so far as to bind Mrs. Green, or whe-
ther the husband's death hid set her free to claim the whole
of her share. This point was argued at great length by Mr.
Russell and Mr. lienni.tn for the representatives date wife ;
and by Mr. Bacon sod Mr. B, rkeley for the representatives
of Mr. Green ; and by Mr. Senoritas, Mr. Green, Mr.
Pig-stt, and Mr. Cotton for others interested in this
questing.
