COURT OF CHANCERY, Lurcoue's
FaIDAY. A vivirr 3.

PRACTICE.
DUPRER V. LORD RENDLESHAM, THELLUSO• N,
AND OTHERS. ,
. Mr. SHADwELL stated, this was an application
On the behalf of the Defendants, culling on Li;
Lordship to discharge an order of his Honour the
Vice•Chsncellor. It was a bill filed by the Plain-
tiff, a native of France, against Thelluson,
;hers, and Co. bookers, in this country, to account
for three millions of dollars, sent by the Plinisliff to
them from Paris in the year 1803, to dispose of, 11,;"
rutintry being at that time at war with France. ft
was admitted that in the year 1804. Lord Reiiille-
shain was a partner in the house of Thelluson,
Brothers. and Co. hut that he ceased to be so in
illecember 1804. It appeared that the Pleinliff
hail sent a quantity of dollars in the year Pio/ ,n
Thelluson's house, but it was a specuiatioli
did not torts out to the odiadtage of either of tist•
pieties ; however, it war continued in the year
1805. , The cause came en to be heard be-
fore the Vice-Chancellor, ■nd he made a de-
cree, and directed a reference to the Master, to
inquire and report whether Lord Rendlesham was
a partner of the firm of Thelluson; Brother., and
Co. after the year 1804. the effect of winclp was to
vie
try to make Lord Renelleshani7s estate aineneble
for the debt due by the house of Thelluson to the
Plaintiff. The Defendants appealed from that de-
cree to his Lordship, after which the Plaintiff Went
before the Master, and insisted that the Master was
hound by the decree of his Honour to inquire, 1.
though Lord Rendlesham might have ceased to
have been a partner in the house of Thelluson, Bro-
thers, and Co. at the end of 1804 to the worlit, yet
whether he did not continue a partner for the pur-
poses of this t►ansai:tion. The Master was of
nion that he could riot enter into that inquiry under
the decree as it wai drawn up. A pithrinton was
then made by the Plaintiff to the Vice-Chancellor
to alter the decree. His Honour thought lie could
not alter it on motion, sod directed a short petition
to be presented far the purpose of re-hearing tb!t
cause, which Was accordingly done, and his Hoiiour
altered the decree, letting in the inquiry as yokel
fin by the Plaintiff. He, the Learned Coulocl,
contended that his Honour had uo jurisdiction
alter his original decree, when an appeal was mad
from it to his Lordship; fur when that step
once taken, his Honour ceased to have any power
over the caws. Under these circumstances, he had
no doubt but his Lordship mini(' discharge the
amended order of the Vice-Chancellor.

r

Mr. ILturnar, Catmeel for the Plaintiff, con-
tended that the amendment of his Honour was a
mere verbal one, and could not interfere with the
settled practice of the Court, us it did not go to
alter the tenour of the decree. Tlw directions
given by the house of Thehasn't in the year 1805,
were precisely the same as iii 1804, when it was ad-
mitted that Lord Rtndlesham was a partner; it we*
signed for The Huron, Brothers, and Co. ; therefore
the inquiry before the Master was nece►sary, and
there could be no doubt but his Honour had the
jurisdiction to make the alteration. 'There had
been a trial at law, and a verdict obtained.
The LORD CHANCRLLOR" What became of
the traitoious correspondence when it was beforertLe
Court hi low ?" • •
Mr. SHADWELL said lie did not know, hut the
fact was, that there had been a trial in the Court of
King's Bench, and a verdict given for the Plaintiff;
a new trial had heen moved fur on the ground of
the mirdirectioto of the Judge to the Jury. The
Chief Justice, whom it was tried before, had the
candour to tell the Court that be found he had
been mistaken in the law of the case, and a hew
trial was granted, which had not since been brought
to issue.

' ~~1

The LORD CHANCELLOR•-..`• it is impossible, ac-
cording to the practice of this Court, that tl.e
Judge 4811 inferior branch of it can alter his iir-
cree after an appeal is lodged from it to the Judge
at the head of the Court. For instance, the Vice-
Chancellor, according to the Act of listlittineia,
can only hear such things as he is directed by the
Lord Chancellor. The Master of the Hulls rm,
hear any thing without that direction, but he
not alter an order of the Lord Chancellor or his
own decree after an appeal from it. See what in
parable mischief would occur if eit her Judge kut t
jurisdiction; every alteration of theirs would try 11111•
a new appeal. The suitors of this Court are etAitled •
to three hearings ; perhaps it is one too much, but
such is the practice of the Court—a hearing bufore
one of the inferior Judges in situation, but pen_
ha ps superior as to judicial knowledge, theft an ,
appeal to me, and a rehearing ; then by his Honour
having reheard this case it will prevent a rehearing
here if the parties should not he satisfied with my
1
judgment on hearing the appeal. It is the duty of
the Judge .it the head of the Court, not. to allow
the practice of it to suffer any innovation. At the •
same time I am of opinion that the alteration made
by hits Honour in the decree ea the rehearing was
unnecessary, as his order was sufficiently large
before for the Master to have made the sinfully
asked for under it. If it had come before me 1 would •
have told the Master so. Therefore the alter.atiou ft;
.
made in the decree by the Vice-Chancellor must trir
go for nothing, alit neverouglit to have been made:'
Motion granted.

Some of the Treasury Prints are not aslemenul
to confess their ignorance on the subject of the I.
trenchments in the military establishments announced
in THE BRITISH Passs. Perhaps they are not sits
ignorant as they seem to be. They do not like re-
trenchant'', and can feel no pleasure in dwelling
upon an ungrateful subject.
Private letters from Holland state, that the law
for the reduction of the transit duties has passed
the two Chambers, and that it is to take place she
' Ist of January, 1844. They are to be only i per
cent. instead of the former duty of 4 per cent.
which it is supposed will draw a great part of the
trade of Hamburghand Bremen to the ports of
Holland.
Thuiaday the East India Company's regiment.
consisting of upwards of 700 mere, under the com-
mand of Colonel AITELL, had a grand held day in
the London Fields, Hackney, in the presence of
several military officers, who expressed great plea-
sure at their military appearance and the exactness
of their evolutions.
