—COLONIAL Law.— CONFLICT OP JUILISHICTION.—The
plaintiffs in this cue, merchants in Liverpool, became con-
signees, many years ago, of the proceeds of plantations and
estates in Demerara, of which the defendants, Colonels in
the Guards, but of Dutch origin, are part owners. For the
large estrum made by the plaintiffs for the cultivation of
the plantations, they obtained a mortgage on the property,
in the forms used in Demerara, in which—having been a
Dutch colony—the Dutch laws still prevail. Upon the dis-
tribution of the 20,000,0001. among slave proprietors in the
colonies in 1837, a sum of 14,0004 fell to the owners of these
estates, and that sum being received by the plaintiffs re-
duced their debt from 30,0001. to 18,0001. For payment of
that sum, and more in respect of advances afterwards
made, the plaintiffsfiled their bill, praying a sale of the estates.
Vice-Chancellor Wigram made a decree formic, and referred
it to the muter to take accounts between the parties in the
mean time. The defendants appealed from that decree, and
the ease has been before this court the better part of three
days,—Mr. Cooper, Mr. J. Parker, and Mr. Bailey, in sup-
port of the appeal, submitted several objections to the decree,
as that the a le ought not to be decreed till the accounts were
first taken ; that de sale was to be made at all, it should be
made in the colony, where the estates would fetch a much
better price than they would here ; that the plaintiffs' form
of mortgage did not give them a title to call fora sale ; and
that the question arising on that point was matter of Dutch
law and fit only for the colonial courts, where justice would
be competently and completely administered to all the par-
ties in the estates, whereas the result of the proceedings in
the courts in this country might be found to lead to a con-
flict of jurisdictions.—Mr.' W. P. Wood and Mr. Lewis
for the plsintiffs, the respondents In the appeal, supported
the decree.—Mr. Cooper replied.—Judgment was postponed.

ship.
The Muter of the Rolls recapitulated the facts of the case,
but reserved his decision on the questions argued.
JODiILL e. BLANST.—PLUADINO.—Thu bill was filed
by the eldest son of Sir Richard Jodrell against Mr. Blaney,
who was a trustee under a family arrangement by which an
allowance was secured to the plaintiff for an account. There
was an allegation that the defendant received a sum of 3001.
from Sir Richard Jodrell for the use of the plaintiff; and the
interrogatory founded upon it was, whether the defendant
did not receive, on behalf of the plaintiff, this sum, or some
other, and what sum, from Sir Richard Jodrell, or some
other, and what, person, at the particular time mentioned
in the bill, or some other, and what, time, or on whose
behalf he did receive the same.
The defendant in his answer denied that he received the
sum in question for the plaintiff without negativing the fact
whether he received it at all. Exceptions were taken to
the answer for insufficiency on the ground that he ought
to have denied this fact, which were allowed by the Muter ;
and the sue now came on upon exceptions to the Master's
report. The question was whether the interrogatory was
sufficiently answered. Maus. Temple and Spurner were
for the exceptions to the Matter's report. Mean. Kin-

IN RI SPINCII.-BURSTITUTID SIRTICR FOR • WRIT
OT HABIAS CORPIIII.—In this case it appeared that the pe-
titioner, Mr. Spence, had lately seceded m the established
religion and had biome a Boman Catholic. Upon this his
wife left his house, and took away her two children. The
petitioner had not sham been able to discover her retreat,
and had consequently applied to the wart for a writ of habeas
corpus to obtain ponession of his children, and asked
leave to substitute service upon the brother of
his wife, who was supposed to know her residence. The
court directed the sabstitnted service accordingly. An all.
davit had fines been made by the brother, in which he
stated that he was linable to obey the writ, the wife and
children not being under his power. Mr. Bethell and Mr.
Martindale now applied for an order that the children might
be delivered up forthwith, and contended that the affidavit
was evasive, as it did not deny that the brother knew where
the lady and children resided. Mr Torriano, on the other
hand, submitted that the court could not make this order,
and that the affidavit was satisfactory to show that the
brother was unable to make a return to the writ.
The Vice-Chancellor thought that it was clear upon the
affidavit that the brother did know the residence of his sister,
and he should, therefore, make the order.

COMPANT.-INIONCTION TO 11/STRAIN A COMPANY FROM
TARING LAND.-Mr. Bethell and Mr. Adams moved for an
injunction az pane, to restrain the North Staffordshire Rail-
way Company from procreding to arms by means of a jury
the value of certain land belonging to the plaintiff, and pro-
poeed to be taken by the railway company. The plaintiff
complained that the land was wrongly designated in the
notice served upon him, and did not correspond with the
plan, and that it was impassible to ascertain which were
the lands intended to be taken.

Bacon sopporiSd this petition, which was presented by credi-
tors, to have the Hat annulled on the ground that there had
been certain dealings between the bankrupt and other par-
ties which ought to be set aside, but could not be impeached
under the present flat, it having been sued out by the bank-
rupt himself.
The Chief Judge doubted whether this wee not rather an
objection to the legislative provision, under which such fiats
issued, tbsn to this porneutcr flat; but, upon Mr. Freeing
appearing on behalf both of the assignees and the bankrupt,
and consenting, the flat was ordered to be annulled, and the
petitioners were to be et liberty to .'e out another fl►t them-

ADMIRALTY coral*.
Tax WAVE.—CoLLtscoN.—This cue involves a question
of nautical skill ; and the learned judge, Dr. Lushingtoo, was
assisted by two of the Trinity masters. The parties proceed-
ing are the owners of the John, which was run down, when
sixteen miles off Dungeness, on the 11th of December last,
by the Wave. One vessel was on the larboard, and the
other on the starboard tack.
Dr. Lushington, having asked the opinion of the Trinity
masters, decided in favour of the John, with 00.14.
Tax ANN.--13ALVA08.—The Ann grounded on the bar of
Shields harbour, and wu got off by several steam-tugs. She
was valued at 6,5001. to 7,0001. Drs. Addams and Cartels,
fa the salvors, submitted that this valuable ship was,
by the aid of the six steam-tuge, raved from inevitable de-
struction. There was an ample fund to relieve the salvors
from, and the court ought te be liberal in its reward, so
that the utmost energy should be exhibited in giving aid to
vessels in distress on future rearms. The services were
not of long duration, but the sea was high, ad the tugs
ware in danger of collision and low. The value of the tugs
wu about 4,6001., and they were unterred.
Dr. Lushington referred to the hrs. The Ann was pro-
ceeding with a cargo of coals from Tynawouth to Aden.
She drew sixteen feet of water. She got on the bar at *sigh
water, and was in a very critical positioa.
The court considered that 4401. was the amount to which
the velvets were entitled.
