Hums ArrEaui.

In this case, Tonrusei,an;;ipelian!,had kept an hotel in
Dublin, which was assigned to trustees for the benefit of his
creditors, with a power of sale at three months' notice.
White was one of the trustees, and the) took possession of
the hotel, and serious proceedings took plies In the Court
of Chancery in Ireland, in the course of which a decree was
made ecnfi-miog the sale of the hotel by the trustees. Ap-
peal petitions were presented to this house, and it was said
that a decree of 30th January, 1835, hid never been made
the subject ul appeal because no appeal had been presented
against it within the time required by law. In 1850, how-
ever, Tommey was hoard by counsel on au appeal, which,
by leave of the appeal committee, included that decree, and
judgment was given in his favour. White and others
petitioned for a re-hearing of the case itself; but
were told by the house that a case once
derided by the home could never be reheard. They then
applied to be heard against the allowance of Tominey's pe
taloa, to be heard on this extended appeal, and in this
form the ease was argued; and it was urged for the peti-
tieners that they had received notice of the extension
of the appeal to the decree of the 30th of January, 1835,
and that the appeal committee had heed deceived into al-
lowing Tommey to extend his appeal to that decree.
The Lard Chancellor, under the circumstances, proposed
that the orders giving leave to appeal and the order made
in that house in 1950 should be discharged.
Orders discharged accordingly.
The appellant asked for costs to be allowed, but the Lord
Chancellor said he sould make no order in the matter.

IN an WILLIAM BIL•MATIR ELM6.—PITITION DIIIMISSID.
This insolvent, described u a carman, applied under tho
Protection Act. Mr. Cooke opposed for a creditor, and
raised an objection to the petition. The insolvent was
tolled a "carman," but on elimination he admitted that
he had been a eontreetor for repairing roads, but bad not
mentioned it in his deseription.
Mr. Cooke submitted that the petition weld not be sus-
tained, as it was obviously incorrect, and the act did not
allow any amendment to the petition.
The insolvent's attorney thought that the word "carman"
would include a contractor of roads.
The Chief Commissioner held the petition to be invalid,
and as there was no power to allow an amendment, it meat
be dismissed. He wished attorneys would be particular in
the petitions and other proceedings.
The petition was dismissed.
