Having thus cleared the way, be proceeded mere immedi-
ately to refer to she Gni lot, which was thea shemly described
in the catalogue.

" A capital sad very valuable freelmeld estate, situate In
the perishes of Weyheidge sail Waltoomipse.Thsaies, Is the

CONYENIFT OF COVItT.
STRETCH N. WATKINS.
Mr. SHADWiLL presented a petition from a pet-
son of the name of Saunders, a clerk to a Proctor
hi Doctors' Commons, who had incurred the Am.
pleasure of the Court by marrying a ward Of it;
but at the time the marriage took place he was ig-
ooraot of that fact. It appeared that his brother
had married the elder sister OT the ward in 1819,
from which time the petitioner was acquainted with
the ward, and married her in the month of June
last, by banns. The petitioner had a salary of 5100/.
• year, and the fortune of the ward, on coming of
age, would be 4,0001. The petition prayed that it
Might be referred to the Master to inquire and re-
port what settlement ought to be made on the
ward.
Mr. StmPetasoK, Counsel for the mother of the
bard, said hie client 'has ready to albeit to any Or-
der his Lordship might please to make.
The LORD CHANCELLOR —.I Had the petitioner
la disPatiunity of knowing that the infant was a
iparil lit Court
. 114 SIMPKINSON said, he must have known it,
fee Ma had filled a bill for the purpose of getting
Ilsotopinion of the Court as to the constructioo of
the will under which the ward took the property.
Mr. SNADWRI.I. said, the petitioner knew of the
bill being filed, but he did not know that filing of
it constituted the young lady a ward of Court.
Ile trusted that his Lordship would look at this
ease with as lenient an eye as his duty would per-
mit, for if he was committed he would lose the
tuation he held, and it might cause his rein.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" I do not know how
to deal with this cure, as I am kept entirely in the
dark by the mother of the ward, us to the circum-
stances under which the marriage took place. It is
a settled rule of the Court when a bill is filed in the
name of an infant, he or she becomes from that
moment a ward of the Court, and is entitled to its
protection; any person marrytug him or her without
first obtaining the consent of the Court, becomes lia-
ble to all the penalties and inconveniences attending
such an act. It is one thing to present • petition,
expressing contrition fur having violated a fixed
order of the Coors, and 'lowlier thing to grant the
prayer of the petition. I sin not inclined to create
new precedent by deviating in this case from the
general rule; I will not, however, decide hastily.
I think the mother of the ward ought to make an
affidavit informing me of the general circuntsta•ces
of the case, when that is done the petition easy be
mentioned to me again."
Further consideration postponed.
JUDGMENT.—THE SHIP WILLIAM FREDERICK.

eoaatson D• 110011111611.
The Solicitor for she Defendant requested that
his Lordship would postpone giving his judgment
until he had an opportunity of filing affidavits to
contradict the ammo/tut of Mr. Knight.
The LORD CR•liceLLOll--M It is not necessary
that I should suspend my judgment, because the
principle on which I shall deliver it will avoid that
matter. Upon the most careful consideration of
the circumstances of this case, it does appear to me
that this Court hes the jurisdiction to interpose its
authority. .Tbe rounds on which I come to that
conclusion are these, that if the law fiulds the per-
son in possession of the ship chartered for Toulon,
and also of her cargo, bound to deliver them oa his
arrival at the port of destination in the one case, end
io another, if in consequence of distress of weather he
was driven into any other port, the law also holds,
that such person is bound to deliver it at the inter.
mediate port, on the payment of freight for the whole
voyage. If it were a matter of contract in the one
case and the other. I conceive this Court can by
injunction restrain the party intrusted with the
ca•go from dealing with it in any manner, and even
enforce the delivery of it. In one branch in which
this case divides—l allude to the actual sale—his
Honour the Vice-Chancellor has granted hie injunc-
tion, restraining Moormau, the master of the ship,
from disposing of the cargo in this way, bat not
from hypothecating it. Now it does appear to
me, from the statements at the bar (taking it for
granted that those statements are founded on affi•
davits), that on the same principle on which it
was thought advisable to restrain the sale, the
hypothecution of the cargo ought also to have
been prohibited. Being extremely tenacious of
breaking through any fixed rule of this Court,
I deemed it advisable carefully to look into all the
authorities I could find bearing on the case, on
that of the Grotirodies. I have had a communica-
tion on the subject with the Learned Judge at the
bead of the Court of Admiralty, who decided that
case. His opinion coincides with mine in taking a
distinction between that and this case. Tbe master
of the vessel, in that case, had been allowed to
hypothecate pert of the cargo, iu order that by such a
sacrifice the remainder might be preserved for the
benefit of the owner; therefore, to insure that
benefit, I shall determine this case by the converse
of the former, as it is clear, by the hypothecation,
no part of the cargo could here be saved, hut on
the contrary, such a measure would insole the de-
struction of the whole. I think, therefore, that such
hypothecation ought to be restrained; thus, in both
instances, taking care of the interests of the owner
of the cargo. The order, however, will be subject
to this, as this case is so extensioo of an injunction:
I consider it will be advisable to preface it with a
declaration, which I will myself pen, in order that
the principle on which it is founded may be per-
fectly understood. If the circumstances of the
ease are not such es I have supposed them to be,
then, in order to chew that fact, the case may again
be brought before me; tor' unless the circumstances
stated at the Bar are borne out by the affidavits,
both the statements and my view of the case must
fall to the ground, as I have proceeded entirely on
the assumption of their being filets; troy affidavits
relative to this point, which either party may think
proper to make, ought to be filed before Tuesday
morning next."
