ROUSE OF LORDS.

r..st the Lord Ehris-eielii;r, other Peers.
Baran V. BAIRD.—ENTAIL.—This appeal from the Court
of Session in Scotland was argued on Thursday (the 18th)
and Monday last. The question arose on the construction of
a deed of entail of the estate of Newbyth, slated 1739, and
was whether the appellant, the heir-of-line in possession of
the estate, had power to dispose of it away from the respond-
ents, who are the heirs substitute on failure of lame of the
appellant. The jukment of the court in Scotland was, that
the appellant had no power to dispose of the estate. The
Lord Chancellor and Lord Brougham severally expressed
their concurrence in the judgment of the court below, and
the same was accordingly affirmed, with cute.
LADY S. H. MUNE, LADY H. HASTINGS, LADY E. R.
HASTINGS V. TUB MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.—Theft three
appeals, which came on to be heard together, were brought
against • judgrxent of the Court of Session in Scotland, upon
the construction of a settlement made in the year 1720, on the
marriage of Lady Jane Boyle. daughter of the Earl of
Glasgow, with Sir James Campbell, brother of the third
Earl of Loudon. Lady Jane Boyle was descended on her
mother's side from the ancient family of blurs, to whom
the estate of Rowallen, the subject of the said settlement,
his belonged. For the purpose of keeping this estate
separate from the Loudon estates, to which Sir J. Campbell
was heir presumptive, various limitations were inserted in
the settlement, to the effect, that if on failure of heirs male,
this estate should come to females, they should take the
name of More, or marry persons:who would take that name
and the arms of Rowallen, and if in the course of descent,
the person then enjoying the title of Loudon were the heir
properly entitled, the estate should go to another member
of the family. Sir J. Campbell and his said wife had one
son, who, under the limitations, succeeded to the said estate.
That son had one daughter, the late Countess of Loudon,
and Marchioness of Hastings. She left one son—the late
and second Marquis of Hastings, father of the respondent,
the present Martinis, and several daughters, the eldest of
whom, lady Sophia, is represented by the first-named appel-
lant; and the question involved in the appeal is, whether
she or the respondent is entitled to the estate of Rowallen,
under the limitations of the deed of 1720.
The Lord Advocate and Mr. Bethell were heard for the
appellant, and the further hearing was adjourned to Monday
next.

EQUITY COURTS.
Before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce (Feb. 24).
JOHNSON O. BARI% HHISOULA HITT OF 86HVICR OF
&JIM:VA.—Mr. A. J. Lewis moved that the service of
copies of subpoena might ►e set aside for irregularity, and that
an order obtained by the plaintiff for liberty to enter an
appearance for the defendants might be discharged
with costs. The copies of sub/scene served upon
the defendants did not, u required by the 3rd of the
orders of 1833, contain an indorsement of the names of the
plaintiff's solicitors, which, however, appeared upon the ori-
gine/ writ. Mr. Fooks appeared for the plaintiff.
His Honour said, that he considered the process of the
court had been used in a manner forbidden by the court,
and granted the motion.

Mon Sir J.
BATCHELOR O. MIDDLETON.—ttiIiFTION OP MORT.
CIAOE.—STATCTE OF LISITATIONS.—Tbis was a suit to
redeem various mortgages, the earliest of which commenced
in 1798. In 1816 the mortgagee entered into possession of
the property, and in 1827 the mortgages were assigned by a
deed, to which the mortgagor was no party, subject to the
existing euity of redemption. Before the statute 3 & 4
\V. 4. c. 27', this was such an acknowledgment of the mort-
gagor's right as would have entitled him to redeem, not-
withstanding twenty years had run from the time of the
mortgagee's first taking possession; and the principal qrs.
tien was whether the statute, passed since the execution of
I the last deed, requiring the acowledgment to be made to
the mortgagor himself or his agent duly authorised, had
hand the plaintiff of the right acquired by the acknow-
ledgement contained in that deed. Mr. Bolt and
Mr. Bird for the plaintiff, submitted that the
statute had no retrospective effect to bar a title ex-
isting at the time of the paring of the set ; and
that unless the words of the section were imperative, the
court would put such a construction upon them es was con-
sonant with reason and justice, and the presumed intention
of the legislature.—Mr. Romilly and Mr. Heathfield, for the
defendant, contended that the provisions of the statute were
a complete bar to the plaintiff's claim, the acknowledgement
not being such as was required by the statute ; and that,
both according to the necessary construction of the words,
and the intention of the legislature ; otherwise, no mort-
gagee in possession could ever obtain en indefeasible title by
lapse of time, wherever the mortgaged property was trans-
ferred, either by deed or by the death of the mortgagee ; and
thus the whole effect of the statute would be nullified.—A't
the conclusion of the argument, hie Honour expressed an
opinion that the statute we. a bar to the plaintdrs claim;
and that any other decision would be a forced construction oi
the words, frittering away the whole effect of the statute ;
and that he did not feel himself at liberty to deal thus with an
act of parliament, Merely to meet what might be consi-
dered the moral justice or the particular case.—Judgment
reserved.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Eon ran,. fittings In Guildhall before Er. Justice Erie snd •
Special Jury.
NEWTON V. BELCHER.—LIABTLITTEE OP AN ACTINO
CONNITTEINEN.--CNAZOES OP ADTZETISINO AGENTS.—
Na. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. Ball, and Mr. Heine, were counsel

-
for the plaintiff in this ease, who sought to recover a sum of
4281. for advertisements of the Oxford and Salisbury Rail
way Company. The plaintiff's particulars showed the exe-
cution of orders given before the 15tk of October, 1845, on
the 15th of that month, sad alter the 15th of that month.
The pejectors of the line had called on the defendant about
the middle of September, 1845, ho being then mayor of
Abingdon, and had asked his support of a company for a line'
that did not go through that borough. Subsequently they
altered the project, so as to make it one for a line through
Abingdon ; and, on his being then called on by the projec-
tors, he consented to give his assistance to them. About
the Bth of October his name appeared in the printed
prospectuses, and on the 15th of October, he attended
a meeting at which the company was definitively formed, and
be was mode a member of the acting committee. lie attended
almost all the subsequent meetings previous to the virtual
decease of the undertaking; and joined in a guarantee to a
banker for a loan of 3,0001. to the company. The evidence
in support of the fact that the orders were given,consisted of
letters, some written by the solicitors of the company, some by
one of the clerks of the company. The evidence that the work
wan done did not present any new feature ; but a discw•ion
arose as to the difference between the ansouct charged and the
amount paid, by which it was elicited that the plaintiff was
allowed a discount en their gross charges by all the news-
paper offices except the Times; that the discount ringed
between five per cent., the allowance of the .ilorning (Aron-
icle and the Morning Yost, and twenty-five per cent, the
allowance made by some of the defunct railway papers ;
and that the plaintiff charged to the company a commission
of ten per cent. on the gross charges made to him by the
newspapers. Sir F. 'fhesiger, Q.C., with whom was
Mr. Bramwell, for the defence, contended that the
defendant was not liable for work done in pursuance
of any orders given before the 18th of October, the date of
the first order after the meeting of the 15th, at which be had
been appointed a member of the acting committee : that the
plaintif was only entitled to commission on the net sum paid
by him to the newapapers ; and that with reference to tie
magnitude of the account, a commission of 10 per cent. on
the net sum was too large. 'Mr. Justice Erie told the jury
that the defendant was only liable for advertisements ordered
after he took a part in the proceedings of the company, and
therefore only for advertisements ordered after the 15th of
October; that his liability after that time was in law esta-
Wished ; and that it was for them to say, whether the plain-
tiff's mode of charge was reasonable. The jury found that
the defendant was not liable for any orders given before the
15th of October; that he was liable fur all orders given on
and after that day, and that the plaintiff was entitled to
charge 10 per cent. cominimien on the grove charges made
to him by the company. Verdict for the plaintiff.

TURNER IP. BATES AND OTHERS.—PRIVILEGES OF THE
UNITEktITY OF CAMBRIDOR. -T his was a case in which
the defendants had prayed CognitanCe of an action of ties.
bass for the Vice-Chancellor's Court of the University of
Cambridge, under a statute of Elizabeth. It was stated that
the Vice Chancellor's Court was a Court of Record, which
had cognisance of all trespasses and misprisions, as regarded all
masters, scholars, and servants of the university. The action
was brought against Bates, a master of Christ Church, and
one of the pro-proctors, and Bush, and Woods, two of the
common servants of the university. It was certified that
Bates was a pro-proctor, and there was also a certificate of the
Vice-Chancellor, that he was a master of the university. There
were other affidavits which showed that theact for which these
parties were sued was done in the characters of pro-proctor
and servants of the university. The defendants Bush and
Woods were constahles of the university, and acted under a
statute of 6 Geo. IV. c. 97, for the better ordering of the
university, and which enabled the Vice. Chancellor to ap-
point constables to act in the precincts of the university, and
four miles beyond it, subjecting them to the power of the
justices of the peace, and gi,ing them the privileges of ordi-
nary constables, and also making them liable to be sued in
courts of common law, notwithstanding their being servants
of the university, or any claim of ongnisance. It had been
argued that the claim of cognisance on the record was tanta-
mount to a plea in abatement, and ought to be disputed
on the record and not by affidavit; but where • claim
of cognisance was made on the terms of the charter of
the university the parties should be allowed to show
by affidavit that they had been deprived of it. The
fact that Bush and Woods were constables under the
statute of Geo. IV. was clear, and it would he too much
taonr luaitreoleirreyponeprto discriminate between ;:..itchea-cctaracoetleorr,
I by appointing the proctor's men constables, had voided the
nght in them to claim cognisance. This, however, did not
apply to the other defendant, Bates, and if counsel wished
to be heard on that point, the case would be postponed.
THE QUERN V. JUSTICES or CHERRIRE.—MANDAMI.II
TO COMPEL JUSTICES TO HEAR EVIDENCE IN BASTARDT
WHEN THE SUMMONS HAD HEIN WITHDRAWN.—This
was an application for a mandamus, addressed to Mr. Hindi-
cliffs and Mr. Baker, magistrates for Cheshire, calling on
them to hear evidence in a case of bastardy. The mother of
the child bad applied for an order at the petty sessions on
4th April, when Mr. Hinchcliffe and Mr. Baker were pre-
sent, but the case was adjourned to the neat seations, when
Mr. Baker was absent. The attorney for the putative father
required that the woman should be re-sworn, which was
objected to by her attorney, and the case was with-
drawn on payment of a sum of money for costs by
the putative father. Another application was subsequently
made to re-hear the case, but the justices refused to go into
the evidence. The court was of opinion that the justices could
not be required to hoar the evidence, and the rule was die- I
charged with costs.
Tna QUEEN e. Till MAYOR AND CORFORATION OF LON-
' DON.—RIGHT OP AN ATTORNEY TO PRACTISE IN THE Loan
MAYOR'S COURT.—This was • use of a mandamus issued at
the instance of Mr. Ashte-st, an attorney of the superior
courts at Westminster, calling on the Lord Mayor ef the
City of London to show cause wby he should not be ad-
mitted to practise as an attorney in the Lord Mayor's Ceurt
on signing the roll. A return had been made to
the mandamus, which 'tat- d that the court in
question was an immemorial court, having privi-
leges different from those of the courts at West-
minster ; that only four attorneys were allowed to practise
there, whose duties were peculiar; that there was no roll
which the applicont could sign, and therefore he could not
be admitted. The court was therefore of opinion that there
was no sufficient return to the mandamus, and that judgment
must be for the crown.

TB6 QQBBN V. INHABITANTS OF BIHICINOHABL—Lutt-
LITT OP A BOROVOR WHICH HAS A Q Bzsezons or
ITS OWN, BUT NO GAOL, TO PAT THS EXPENSES OP PRI-
SONERS IN THE COUNTY PRISON.—This we a mandamus
calling on the inhabitants of the borough of Birmingham to
p•y • certain sum to the justices of Warwickshire.
It was contended that the borough ought not to
pay these expenses of prisoners, and by the provisions
of the statute they were not compelled to do so, unless in the
case of prisoners committed to the county gaol for the assizes.
The court, however, was of opinion that the distinction
slammed by the borough ought not to be allowed, but that
the actual expenses should be borne by it.
