CLERKSHIP OP THE PLEAS.

This office, which long has engaged general at.
tention, was finally disposed of on Wednesday
last ; Letters Patent having passed the Great Seal,
nominating Joseph Ferran, Esq. to the situation,
uho for many years filled the office of Deputy.
\Valuta our recollection no act of Government has
twee more perfectly consonant to the feelings of
the ptureuion interested, and certainly no appoint-
ment was ever more justly merited, or reflected
greater credit upon the Irish Administration.—

strrrostrrrious CHILD.
SERGENSON v. 811OUDION. •
[The circuse/tames of this case we have already
reported].
The Loaf, tHANCELLOII-4. I am afraid, Mr.
Wingfield and Mr. Hart, that the issue I directed
in this case, is hot proper in its terms, for it ought
not to be pot 4h the infant to prove her legitimacy.
therefore Mr. Sergesson ought to be the Plaintiff,
for him if he can to prove her illegitimacy."
Mr. HAITI counsel for Mr. Sergerson, the Plain.
tiff, said it was ititosaterial to his client whether he
was placed in the issue directed as Plaintiff or De-
(evident. His Lordship would recollect that in al(
cases sent to a jury, the general contention be-
tween the parties was for the right to reply ; his
client, however, was not even anxious for that pri-
viletrr. . .
Mr. WiNuetetit, counsel for the Defendant,
Mrs. Sergessor,tl4..suppotted mother of the infant.
said that it was his inteutlon to have applied to the
Cotirt, on the kround that Mrs. Serge's** lad ho
funds to bring the\issue to trial.
The Luau CitatitelfLon." The trustees might
be made Plaintlffs,"
Mr. Winatetittt said, if they were, they would
be destitute of funds for the purpose without there
were some appropriated by the Court.
. The LOAD CIAIICILLOIL—a• I can direct the
costs to be paid out of the fund in Court."
Mr. WIDGIPIALD stated, that if his Lordship
made such an order, it might give a weight and
credit to the proieeding that it did not deserve;
for if a Jury *it to he told that the coats were to
be paid out of the fond in Court, they might think
his Lordship had so little doubt on the subject,
that the funds a the infant, let their verdict he
what it might, ought nnt to be exempt from the
costs; and this he was sure was not the impression
on the mind of the Court.

Mr. HART said, Mrs. Sergemon could not be a
party, u she had no interest in the question t she
could not be benefited by aay verdict a Jury could
give. The trustees certainly Vette interested. as it
was necessary for their own security to pay the
trust money only to the person entitled. Perhaps
his Lordship would allow the further consideration
of the subject to stand over for a few day%
The LORD CHAmcat.r.oa—•" I conceive I should
he doing the infant an injury by making her begin
to prove that she was not what she has been hitherto
supposed to be. I wish to 6x it in some wry the
least prejudicial to her. Let it stand over until
Thursday, and on that olay I expect to hear the
suggestions of the Counsel on both sides."
Further consideration postponed.
