BROILER ON POLICY.—This ease also CAMS On upon the re-
served points, one of which aas the priority between the
conflicting claims of two sets of creditor, claiming a lien.
One set of creditors were the petitioners, mortgagees by
assignment of certain ships and the policies upon them. As
to one policy, their claims were disputed by an insurance
broker, who had effected the policy for the bankrupt, and
bed it in his possession. He was also the general agent of the
bankrupt, and the question was whether he had a lien upon
the policy for the' general balance due to him or
only for the balance due in respect of the insured property.
Mr. C. P. Cooper, Mr. Daniell. Mr. Russell, Mr. Hall, and
Mr. Lewis appeared for the different parties, and the court
directed en action of trover to be brought to try the legal
question.
Ex PARTE HERRERO, RE GEORGII. AUGUSTUS CAVED-
MIL—OFFICE FRES OF 101. AND 201.---OPINION OP TER
LORD CHANCILLOIL—Mr. R. W. E. Forster appeared in
support of this petition, which wee one of those presented so
often lately by solicitors suing out flats, under which no
assignees are chosen, and seeking to have their bills of costs
paid without any reserve being made for the office fees of
101. and 201. payable upon the choice of assignees.
The Chief Judge said he was glasl to hear that the Lord
Chancellor bad set this question at rest, by intimating his
opinion upon it. That opinion, as his Honour was informed
by Mr. Ayrton, was, that whether there was any choice or
not of assignees, the amount of the office fees ought to be
retained. His Honour had, in several cases, come to a
contrary conclusion on the ground that the subject might
not to be taxed unless by clear unequivocal expressions,
and those of the Act of Parliament did not appear to his
Honour to satisfy those conditions under the circumstances
of cases of this description. However, of course, his Honour
should for the future decide according to the opinion which
the Lord Chancellor was understood to have expressed.—Mr.
Forster hoped his Honour would deal with the petition in
such a manner as would enable the matter to come before
the Lord Chancellor in a regular way.
The Chief Judge said he could only do that by dismissing
the petition, for he could not decide in opposition to the opi-
nion of the Lord Chancellor. The petition was accordingly
dismissed.
Ex PARTS FOLLETT—SAME QUESTION.—Mr. Speed ap-
peared in support of another petition to the same effect as
the last, but asked tkat it might stand over till the matter
was finally settled. Several other petitions of the same kind
have teen ordered to stand over since the subject has been
understood to be under the consideration of the Lord Chan-
cellor.
Re GIBRS.—CHANGE or VENUR cie Fuer—The bank-
rupt's shop and dwelling were situate in the parish of Wel-
ford, near Stratford-on-Avon, part of which is in Warwick-
shire and part in Gloucestenhire, but the shop and dwelling
were in the latter county. In conformity with the order
of council, directing that all placer in the county of Glouces-
ter shall belong to the Bristol district, the fiat was directed
to the Bankruptcy Court at Bristol, which was 70 miles
from Welford. Certain creditors now petitioned for the
transfer of the flat to Birmingham, which was only 22 mires
distant. The flat had been opened, and the majority of
creditors opposed the transfer. Mr. Bagshawe supported
the petition, and Mr. Sidney Smith opposed it. The Chief
Judge thought the word place in the order, meant the situa-
tion of the bankrupt's place of business, and thought the
flat was rightly directed. His Honour thought no suffi-
cient grounds were shown for changing the venue ; and dig-
mimed the petition.

and among them the one against Dr. Lovell and Mrs. Betts,
for the manslaughter of the niece of the latter, under the
circumstances alluded to by the Recorder in his charge to the
grand jury on Mond. This bill was ignored.

SOUTHWARK.—Ahheozo Itoensee.— Wm. Burife/;/,
night porter at the Catherine Wheel Inn, Borough, sur-
rendered in discharge of bail, to answer the charge of steal-
ing a pocket-hook containing 3001. is Bank of Ergland
notes, the property of Mr. Francis Skipper, as detailed in
our police report of Thursday lest—The complainant
having described the circumstances attending the loos of his
pocket-hook and its contents, at the Catherine Wheel, •
they hare already appeared, then proceeded to narrate tat
when he gave the priming Into custody, they proceeded
from the tun to the station-house at the rear of this court.
That on leering the inn they turned to the right up the
Borough, and pared the end of Adam's-place, which is on
the tight hand aide of High-street (close to which the

pocketbook and its contents were found the same morning).
The parties that went to the station-house were complain
ant, his friend and relation Mr. West, two policemen, and
the prisoner. Mr. Gander, the landlord of the Catherine
Wheel, did not accompany them. The prisoner, and a
policeman by his vide, walked before complainant: and
Mr. West on passing the end of Adam's-place.—
Policeman, 101 M, who took the prisoner from the Catherine
Wheelto the station house, stated that on going there he
walked on the prisonec's left side, and that hie right hand
was at liberty; that on the way the prisoner talked of being
thirsty, and expressed a wish to go into a coffee shop to have
some coffee. Prisoner's right band was next to Adam's-
place. lie added that be was present at the Catherine
Wheel when the landlord expressed hie confidence in
I the prisoner's honesty, and sold that he was certain
he had nQt taken the pocket bards and its contents.
Much evidence was gone into similar to that already pub-
lished. Mr. Cottingham recapitulated all the circumstances
attending the case. and remarked that, under all the circum-
stances, be should send the PM before another tribunal for
investigation ; and in committing the prisoner for trial,
should accept of bail, himself in 2001., and two sureties of
1001. each, to appear at the next sessions. The magistrate
added that the depositions should be now taken, but the
prisoner would be brought up again on Monday.
THAMES.—A Derma. Sox.—On Monday afternoon
Lieut. Campbell, R.N. whose disputes with his family have
been iso frequeLtly before this court, attended to prefer a
complaint against his two sons for ill-using him. Mr.
Yardley ordered the summoning officer to require the at-
tendanee of the eldest son, Archibald Campbell, who accord-
ingly presented himself at an early hour yesterday morning.
—Tree worthy magistrate reasoned with the young man at
considerable length in a low tone of voles, observing that
his father appeared to have a tendency to insanity, and
under those circumstances, instead of treating him in the
harsh manner they had, it was their duty to use every means
in their power to soothe and quiet him.—The magistrate's
remarks appeared to he entirely thrown away on the young
man, who, in a flippant tone of voice, exclaimed,
" Oh, he isn't insane, it is only his villainy !"
Mr. Yardley, then raising his voice, said. " I
sent for you here, sir, to endeavour to avoid any
more of these disgraceful family exposures, and hoping that I
persuasion would have a more beneficial effect on you than I
punishment, but it is quite clear to me, from your behaviour
before this court, that the allegations of your father against
you are perfectly correct. When your father was here the
other day and made the long statement of wrongs he had
sustained and injuries inflicted on his person by his own'
children, I regarded it merely as an unfortunate delusion of
a man not perfectly sane, and I never was more shocked in
my life than to find that such circumstances as binding your
father with ropes and placing him in a coal-hole, also
placing an iron mask on his face were not Beton.—
the mere wanderings of a disordered brain—but startling
facts." The worthy magistrate then turned to Lieutenant
Campbell, who was present, and said, If you have any com-
plaint to prefer against your son, I will now hear you.
Lieutenant Campbell thanked the magistrate, but said he
did not wish to prefer any complaint ; his only object was
to seek protection, and not to injure his family. Mr. Yardley
observed that his foxholes did him honour ; but if any act of
violence were offered him, and he came here again, he would
punish the party offending severely. He would recommend
the young man to follow his profession, and not remain at
home to annoy his father. Lieutenant Campbell thanked the
magistrate, and the parties then left the court.
