LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, FRIDAY, Arlin. 22.

IRREGULAR MOTION.

111 r. LOVATT applied for leave to make a motion in the course of
the day, under the circumstances that the Vice• Chancellor had
over-ruled a demurrer in consequence an attachment had been
issued, and the immediate object of :he motion was, for an order
to stay all proceedings until the appeal could be heard in this Court.
This was not his HODOIH'S motion day, and therefore the Learned
Gentleman had taken the liberty of applying here.
Ilia LORDSHIP said, this was not the regular motion day here,
and if his Honour in the Court below could not be interrupted to
hear a pressing motion, hie Lordship would just like to hear the
ingenuity of any Gentleman at the Her state, shy it was to be rea-
sorably expected that proceeding with this regular business here
was to be less attended to ? He had no objection to take part of
the inconvenience orbs ing interrupted ; but he should really desire
that that incorvenience should be a little more equally distributed
than it had been.

Mr. LO WATT considered it but due to the Vice-Chancellor to
say, that in this case he had not applied in the other Court to have
the mo.ion heard there. Knoring the little chance of succeeding
in the application below, he had conic here at once.
His LulitllSHir Padded, it was impossible to lay down any rule to
be positively attended to, without sometimes having to be broken in
upon ; justice required it. There were motions that would not ad-
mit of delay, and therefore no rule of form could bar the hearing
of them. His Lordship had no doubt that his Honour would hear
this motion ; but certainly, if his business did rot admit of being
iliaturoed., it was not to be expected that the business here was of
less importance. Upon looking into a list of what had been done
in the Court for the last twelve menthe, his Lordship found that
he had hardly heard anything at all but motions.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FainAT, Aram 22.

In Banco.
ac PENNY.

Mr. PLATT moved for a rule, calling upon Mrs Penry to show
cause why an attachment should not issue against her for making a
fa:se and evasive return to a writ of Habeas Corpus, which had
been diteetetl to her. The circumstances were shortly these. Airs.
Penny resided at the city of Oloucestes with her husband, who was
a straw bottom maker. Her daughter, blary Ann Penny, lately
came to London to pay a visit to some friends, and during her stay
in town she became acquainted with a gentleman of the name of
Forster. After a short courtship, the banns of marriage were pub-
lished, and the parties were married. About six days after their
marriage, the mother of bliss Peony came to London and took
away her daughter by force, The writ of Habeas Corpus had been
subsequently served upon her to bring her daughter into this Court,
in order to ascertain whether she was detained from her husband
against her own sill. To this writ the mother had returned an
evasive answer, denyirg that she had the custody of her daughter.
It appeared, however, that she certainly had left Mrs. Forster in
the custody of some person in London, but the mother did not in
her return mention where she was, although it was quite clear that
she was within the mother's control. The return was in these
words--" That she had left lire daughter in the house of a friend,
that she had since left that house, and that she did not know where
she was gone to." But the return did not give the name of that
friend.

The LORD CurEr Jt-sr ter—The return is certainly stint.
cious. Take your rule, and perhaps that will produce her.
