EQUITY COURTS.

Yesterday being the fleet day terM, his lordship re-
ceived the Judges, and Queen's counsel, at breakfast, at his
private house, according to ancient usage. He did not,
therefore, take his seat in court until half-past one o'clock.
GROOM O. STINTON.—PRACTICE.—ENROLMENT OF Da-
cases.—This was a motion to vacate an enrolment of a
decree, in order to have the cause re-heard. The decree we,
pronounced last February. The order for enrolling it was
left by the plaintiff with the registrar on the 7th of July; a
caveat was then entered by the defendant, and be proceeded
to prepare his petition of re-hearing, and had prepared it,
and paid the usual deposit of 201., and did all other formal
acts except obtaining the Lord hancellor's signature to h;1
petition by the 4th of August, having previously given the
plaintiff notice that he had presented his petition of
appeal ; but he was not in a condition to serve the
plaintiff with the petition until the sth of August,
because the Chancellor's signature was not obtained
till that day. He then found that the decree bad been ac-
tually enrolled on the preceding day—the very day after the
expiration of the 28 days which the orders of the court re-
quire to pass between entry of caveat and enrolment.
Mr. Rolt and Mr. Terrell, in support of the motion, sub-
mitted that under these circumstances the enrolment ought
to be vacated, and they cited " Robinson v. Neudivick' (3
Merivale, 13), in which Lord Eldon held that a petition of
appeal not being answered until the day after it was pre-
sented for the Chancellor's signature, ought not to prejudice
a party, he being strictly entitled to have it answered imme-
diately, So in this case, it was not the defendant's fault that
his petition had not been considered in time, for he did all he
could by leaving it with the Lord Chancellor's secretary.
They also cited " Daniell's Practice in Chvncery," vol. 2, p. 682.
Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Amphlett opposed the motion. No
imputation of taking improper advantage or of surprise lay
upon the plaintiff. The defendant had himself to blame in
not preparing his petitioa of re-hearing in the long interval
that elapsed from the entry of his caveat. The ease cited for
the motion had no application to this, as in that case the 28
days after caveat had not expired before the decree was en-
rolled. It was not enough to have given the plaintiff notice
of the petition of appeal; that notice had no effect; the peti-
tion itself and the order for setting it down for hearing must
be served on the party to stop hint from enrolling his de-
cree after the 28 days from the entry of the caveat; and so
the rule was laid down by his lordship in the case of " Den-
man r„ Wych "(4 Mylne and Crag, 5.50). The court does
not extend its indulgence in these cases to mistakes of
the practice, " Vardle v. Carter" (1 Mylne and Craig, 283).
The Lord Chancellor postponed his judgment until he
could examine the cases referred to.

and 1201. within a limited time, in consequence of their nonj
compliance with an order for payment made by his lordship
in July last, and which it was alleged had been improperly
evaded.—Mr. Roupell and Mr. Rogers appeared for the de-
fendants.—The Master of the Rolls made an order for pay-
ment of the sums into court on or before the 15th instant.

Before the Vice-Chancellor of England.
rEOLIIR V. ALOTON.—DffnIoCTIoN To ann3TItATN ree
SALE OP ♦ CAROO or CORK.—Mr. Bothell and Mr. Gold-
smith moved to dissolve an injunction which had been
granted by the Vice-Chancellor to restrain the defendants
from receiving, selling, or disposing of a cargo of cork wood
that had been assigned to them by M. Guinart, of Seville, in
the kingdom of Spain.—The arguments were not concluded
at the rising of the oonrt.

without requiring the sanction of the court, and that Lord
Hardwicke had refused to make an order upon a similar
application.
