LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OP CHANCERY, VEDKESDAY, Arm S.

Sir Giffin Wilson and ____ Eden, Etsg. took their seats by thn'
Me of the Chancellor, for the first thin ...ince their appointment ore
.Masten of the Court.
IRREGULAR COM MITNICATUINS TO TUE LORD
Mr. MONTAOU sais(l:lVNhaCdEtirfr'sla'altke an application, under
rather odd cirsuoistances. A bankrupt's clerk bappened to hart
been appointed one of the assignee* under the btokruptey ; thas
assignee had since considered that nothing in the world was so right
as for him to collect in all the outstanding debts possible, Rod paw
them over to his old mastef, which he has been doing, whidt ),fits
'doing, and which he has said lie is deermined to cuptinue to
,00.
The present application therefore was, for an ordertd restrain hini
in the meantime from further doing so, and for leave to have a pe-
tition heard on Monday next for his repioval from being env
longer an assignee. The parry complained of had thought el:is
complaint one of the most unjust possible, and stated that he had
written a letter to the Lord Chancellor, and to all the Judges in
England on the subject.
His LORDSHIP granted the iitmlication, adding fhat he had w
great many correspondents„whose letters he did not read • but he
could not help reading one he received yesterday, staling that It ap-
peared by the Chancery Report, that the funds in Court arida'
wards of thirty-nine millions; and the writer pig it to hirri (the
Chancellor) and to all the Coansel at the her, witethir it wee fir
that they should be enjoying these thirty-nine million" at m tar
belonging to the suitors ? Thin certainly was an opinion d'st
to *hat the world had formerly seemed to entertain.: for Illbl 7 r
understood it had always been represented tke money is the Ac.
ifyi
countant-General's hands had been so locked up as that no pe4a.nr
could get hold of a farthing of it. .The precast, impression, llow-
ever, was of a very Cfferent cast ; for the commulcation &Hulked to
attributed to the Chancellor, the Counsel, and ofheas of the Cow,:
the enjoyment of the whole of this immense sum, raid for whiCft
they would have to answer bath here ankhereafter. lip, Losdiroir
considered the report in this part, as ghowing the &Nevem* be-
tween the state of business now and whAt It was in Lord Hard
wicke's time. In his time the funds of the nanny* in Court. ern.;
highest, never amounted to more than seven millions, but nu* tile
funds certainly were thirtv-nine millions.
IWARD IN CHANCERY.
Mr. Wirt TM/alai' was instructed to make the following 'pp&
cation :—A ward of this Co€vt., a boy, had a Ickaey of 4001. tett
to him a short time ago. lie was apprenticed toe kentleman in the
Botottgh. He was exceedingly wild, and had often nut away held
his muter. His master was, so much disnleased with him as :o
have determined never to receive him back again, but to app) to
the Quarter Sessions to htie the ankles of apprenticeship conceit's!.
Thin, together with the boy's general conduct, had given extrema
grid to his mother and family. Mr. Rawlinson, a Megiattate.
had undertaken to act as an arbitrator between all parties, and
therefore the present application w 25, plat the mother, who was the
guardian of the boy, might be at liberty to assent to whatever Mr.
Rswlinson might, after his consideration of all the circumstances,
think ought to be done.
His L.:moans is though: heooght first to be informed what Mr.
Rawlinson's views of the ease 'night be. Whatever respect this
Court had for Mr. Rawlinson, it never could consent to give up ire
jurisdiction to him, unless it was first satisfied that what he meant
to do would be in consonance with what the Court itself would do.
Mr. WHIT3IARSII observed, that, with the ,Court's permission.
31r. Rawlinson's proposals should be laid before it.

EX-PAILTE GRIHSTF.AO—IN RE HOWARD ARV GIBBS.
This case was called on, mirsuant to appointment on a former
day, when Mr. hergeantSPAxKli addressee his Lordship, con•
fining himself solely to such arguments as trete explanatory of the
account book whicit he sta.eti to have been contemporaneous wins

M which the transactions between the parties werd
recorded. Ile was followed on the some side by hlr. Montagu.
Mr MDR se end Mr. iiHrSLOVE anintteeed tire eneervations.
avl Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE having replied.,
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed he had once read all the
evidence in this case, but in deciding a question so very important
to the parties, and so very important as a prescient, he should con-
ceive he was not acting fairly, if he omitted to look over the wbo4
of the examinations. It was imrssible to do that hi such a mut,-
net es the nature of the case requrred, without the interval of a law
days ; but he would give the but jade:tent he could form, whet,
he came into Court on Tuesday morning nest. It might woe br
improper to say, that if this depended on die evidence et Mc.
Gibbs, he could not give credit. to him. •

VICE.CRANCEELOWS COURT.

rxrAatt SOLARTE ANTI OTHERS, IN THE MATTER VS-
JAMES DAKIELL, A BANKRUPT.
This was a petition by Jose Ventura de A guvire Solute, Thomas
Abell, and Anulnio de Arroyave, assignees of Joaquin Rutz de
Alzedn, a bankrupt, to he allowed to prove a debt of 55,3161. Ills.
upon the esta:e of James Daniell, a bankrupt.
The facts of the cue appeared to .be, that the bankrupt Allied.,
had, between the years 1823 and discounted bill. for various
persons, through the agency of one Hollingworth Bromley, to the
amount of nearly a million sterling, and among others for the
bankrupt Daniell to a very large amount, from whoa there was
claimed to be due to the assignees of Mr. Alzedo the sum they now
sought by their petition to be at liberty to prove. The subject
was stated to hive been anxiously discussed before the Cooarats-
sionere by Counsel on both sides, and the Commissioners, after ex-
amining Mr. Alzedo and Mr. Brantley at fourteen private meet-
ings. rejected the proof. rn answer to the petition, it was stated by
the Counsel for the assignees of Daniell's estate, that it was evident
from the depositions to a hich they referred ip confirmation, that his
honor must confirm the Commissioners' decision, for that it had
been proved before the Commissioners, that in order to induce Mr.
Alzedo to discount (among others) all the bills comprised in the
above amount of 55,316/. lea, Burnley and Alzedo had entered
into an agreement, woereby the latter was, in addition to the legal
interest of 5 per cent., to retain upon all occasions a further sum
equivalent to 2 or 3 per cent. for the nominal purpose of discharging
• certain rery large debt due upon certain Bills of Exchange from one
John Hill Wagstaff, deceased, to him (A Inch)), to which, however,
he (Bramley) was in nowise liable, and the amount whereof he did
not even know. This, it was contended by the Counsel for Daniell's
estate, was a mete color for usury, and that therefore the Commis-
eioners were right in erecting the claims.
His Hofroit, after hearing at great length Counsel on both
sides, observed, the present was a inomentou case, and one which
clearly came within the province of 5 jury of merchants, and there-
fore ordered that the matter should be tried by an issue at law, in
which the assignees of Alzedo should be plaintiMi and the assignees
of Daniel's. defendants. The question to be triel should be, whe-
ther, at the time of Daniell's bankruptcy, there was any, and what,
debt due to the estate of Alzedo fern Mr. Daniell.

LONDON SESSTONS, 19pm.trapAy, Anti!. 3.

This mn-ning three Sevions commented before the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor, the Shea's, the Reeorder, and a full Bench of
Aldermen.
The Recount', in his address to the Grand Jtiry, lamented
that he ronid not hold out any expectations that their 'shows would
be speedily te•mmatrd, fm the calendar contained 73 prisoners on
the London side, which was neariy •iouble the number which ap-
peared on the last calendar, and it far exceeded any thing he ever
remembered. There was one circumstance connected with the ca-
talogue of crime before him whizii deserved remark. namely, the
stale of the streets in the metropolis, and the prevalence of aim,:
ifr that department. Notwithstanding the nnrnnitting attention of
the Magistrates, and the vigilance attic olli:ers they employed, it
was melan?liiily to observe, that nearly one-litth of the prisoners
were charge,' with street robberies. The Court would do all in
th-ir power to suppress this growing evil, by the it.flictinn act se-
one punishment. After remarking upon the evicts generally, the
Recorder expressed his conviction that the Gentlemen would do
their duty in a manner which would be satisfactory to themselves
and tht ir teilow-citizens. _ _ _
