though for a long time holding a different opinion, bad at length
consented to the practice.
It was contended, on the other side, that if this course was par-
sued, it would be full of inconvenience and danger to Solicitors, and
the measure wn net adopted in the Court of Chancery.
The VIC g-CH ASICZLLOR thought that, after the decision of
the Chancellor in the case or fluted and Lane, nothing was left to
his discretion. The payment of a bill of asses by a Solicitor was
not conclusive against the client, more especially when that client
resided at Hamburg'', and his advice was not taken upon the occa-
sion. There was certainly another question to be considered, with
respect to the executors of the Solicitor t but the King's Bench had
always held that a bill mrty be taxed against the Executors, and
the Common Pleas had at last assented to the same principle ; and
though special circumstances might occur in which such a princi-
ple might be departed troni, he saw nothing in the case before the
Court to warrant that departure, and he would therefore assent to
the prayer of the petition.
1W THE MATTER or SMITH.
Mr. HART asked his Honour if a motion respecting the striking
an attorney of 'the Rolls might not be restored to the paper ?
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, he had no authority, without
the special order of the Lord Chancellor.
Mr. HART thought that, by granting the permission, the Court
would be only supporting its own orders.
The Vits-Cwascxxxon said, the Court would of course act'
as fear as that was concerned.
Mr. HART thought the proceedings of the other Courts in this
matter ought not to conclude this Court.
The Vics-Cnascaxxoa thought it would be an important de-
cision if that Court declared a person to be fit to act se • Solicitor,
wham the Courts of Ring's Bench and Common Pleat declared in-
e t to be an Antoine?.
ltree.trlaar said the Lord Chancellor thought the proceeeings
against this Solicitor were not satisfu, and he would pause
before he deprived an individual of tiops his only means of
uniting.
The VICEXHASCELLOR said, that by hearing this ease he
would be passing a discordant judgment, and it was the policy of
the whole judicature to avoid judgments of such a nature. He
would therefore not hear the case.

POOR Law CASES.Mr.C:RW:OIW-----erthit overseers of the pa-
rish of St. Andrew's, Holborn, appeared before the Magistsatel_to
answer the complaint of Mary Norman, under the saisur
teasing circumstances:—She stated that she and b
though of Irish nativity, had been resident in London tines
infancy. They have been married 14 years, and resident In this
parish but toll never efilcted a legal settlement; that during the
lest six years, her husband, owing to Mans, has been unable to
earn a shilling, and that by her own exertions she bad endeavoured
to maintain him and five children ; that latterly their distress was
so extreme, that she applied to the overseer on behalf of the chil-
dren, conaidering they had a claim, as born in England ; which
claim, however, was not acknowledged by Mr. Can, who refused to
give any relief, milers they all consented to be passed to Ireland.
Mr. SE LLow, the Presiding Magistrate, on hearing the caise,eit-
Lairgreat indignation. He observed to Mr. Carr, that Ms con-
ireflected disgrace upon the pariah, and that UM& 11=
rteldestelknotring those theta) be even refuse te koy
He then added, that he considered the children's eialinTlW-W
perfectly just, and insisted on its being attended to.
Mr. Carr peremptorily refused, stating, that the case had been
ruled otherwise at the sessions, and that he would appeal from the
Magistrate's decision.
After the above case was disposed of, a feeble, elderly man,
named Bryan, applied to the Magistrate for his interference. He
stated that Mr. Carr acknowledged him to be entitled to relief, as
he had been for some time in the workhouse ; that during the
last eight months he was in the country, getting occasional om.
ployment, and that on returning to town, he was exhausted ; that
he slept the last night at Islington, and, on applying in the morn-
ing to Mr. Carr for relief, he refused It.
Mx Carr, in defence, stated, that the complainant had absconded
from the workhous; and that having been guilty of such an injury
to the interests of the parish, he would give him no relief until the
etiquette of his being passed from Islington parish was complied
with.

The Magistrate, aware that by the pauper's sleeping one night
is his own parish, he would be entitled to relief. regretted that un-
til that was done, he could not prevent its being delayed under
such frivolous pretences.
John Jerkins, who was remanded until this day, charged with
having stolen a great coat and eleven umbrellas, the property of
John Adams, umbrella-manufacturer, 76, Barbican, was brought
up for second examination.
1 John Adams, the complainant, stepped forward to be sworn,
with a solemnity of manner which excited observation • and. after
being sworn, not looking directly to the Magistrate, but around,
as if he were addressing his congregation, proceeded to state that he
belonged to the religious community, entitled " Revivalists ;" that
on the evening of New Year's Day he was called away from his
temporal concerns to administer spiritual comfort to his brethren,
in Ebenezer Chapel, and that while officiating, his attention was
attracted by the penitent and (*write demeanour of the pnsooea,
who was not content with rending his heart, but was setts y rend-
ing his garments. Sctiek with his conduct, he afterwards ad-
dressed the prisoner, who stated that be was awakened to a sense of
his sinful state by the powers of his (Adams's) preaching. Thinking
he might one day become an ornament to the Society of "
Revival-
ists," lie took the prisoner under his protection ; and the first roof
he gave of his regenerate mind was, to rob hint of the move
articles. _ _ _

The prisoner was remanded for the production of an important
witness.
