COUNSEL AND JUDGE.

Mr. Matins in the course of the day moved the court to
transfer an appeal cause from the list of the Lords Justices
to the paper of this court, on the ground that one of their
lordships had been interested in some respect as counsel in
the matter at issue.

The Lord Chancellor said he had already had this ques-
tion argued, and he had Betided that the reason stated by
the learned counsel was no sufficient ground fur transfer-
ring a cause from one court to the other.
Mr. Matins understood that one reason for placing all
the appeals from the court of the late Vice-Chancellor
Knight Bruce on the list of this court was to avoid the
inconvenience in question.
The Lord Chancellor said he had made the present
arrangement fur quite another reason. At all events, he
never meant to adopt the principle contended for. If,
however, the Lords Justices desired that he should hear
the cans*, he should be most happy to do en, and he would
communicate with their lordships on the subject.
