LAW INTALLIGENCE.

COiali OF CHANCERY. SATVIDATi Fss. 23.

ROWE/ V. STRATHMORE.
Mr. SMAiDIFILL stated that this was a fine in which money, be.
longing to Lady Mary Isabella Howe% had been, as was alleged,
improperly taken oat of Court by her tru.tesit and guardians w:ole
an infant. -1111 r. Willis, who had married Lady Mary, presenttd a
petition to lb, Master of the Rolla, praying for an order, calling
upon the_partiee to pay the money back ; that petition. Lord Gifford
dismissed with costs. A petition of appeal was brought here, yid
his boedshipset aside the order made at the Rolls, snit directed the
money to be returned. The day appointed for the payment of the
money basil had expired some time ago, and a fortnight ago Mr.
Hoene obuliaed another order for the payment to be made on a
short given-day. Mr. Horne was necessarily absent to-day (at-
tending the Privy Council), but he (Mr. Shadieelll previously in.
formed Me. Home that he would have to mention it to the Court
to-day, fur 'the purpose of obtaining an order to suspend the pro.
ceedings Muter the order for the payment. until an appeal to the
House of Lords could be heard. Mr. Whitton, the solicitor for
Mt. Willis, With an activity which the Learned Counsel did not
mean to Warne him for, had served air. Fertile with a writ of exe-
cution, and unless the proceedings were now stayed, consequences
the most serious might be expected. It certainly was the niie 0,
the Ceuta, that in ordinary cases, when an older fat the payment of
money intotOurt Was made, the proceedings could not be stapes
merely because there was an appeal to the House of Lords ; but in
the present awe, as there had been the varying judgment of two
Pasts, it Will supposed that it would not be thought unreasonable
that the proceedings should be stayed until the decision of all the
Pets of the realm could be obtained. Mr. Fertile was prepared to
give the mast unqueitionable security for whatever the House of
Lords might decide he ought to pay, and as it was not at all im-
probable-the ordtr calling on him to pay this 6,0001. might be
nullified, he hoped the Court would suspe.id the proceedings.
The Loan Citancti.coa desired to be informed on Tuesday
what the nature of the security ready to he given was; and then
he would be better'able than he was to-day to say whether the
proceedings ought to be stayed tiU the appeal could be heard. A
writ of execution having been served, his Lordship desired that
no further- step should be taken without the leave of the Court.
As to say peculiarity attending the hearing of the appeal in the
House of Lords, from the circumstance of two Members in that
Noise having ditTered in opinion, his Lordship will take care
that no difficulty shall arise on that ground. Probably he will
be able to state by Tuesday when the appeal can be heard.

ROSE V. MANNISO.
Mr. HART said this was a cue relating to West India estates,
lb which considerable discussion had already taken place, as to
the paymett of 4.0001. into Court, which his Lordship at one
time ilewed to be paid, and subsequently received. There were
two petition* now to be heard in the cause; the one set down
here, stet the other before the Muter of the Rolls, and under
the peculiar circumatancus of this case, the present application was,
that both the petitions might be set down here, snd that the parties
•hould not' be at liberty to bring on one of their petitions before
the Master next week, as was proposed.—Order made.
POINT OF PRACTICE.

IN THE NATTSR OF DU A BANKRUPT.
Mei-Ime mentioned this cue again, with a view of knowing
when it might come on to be heard.
Mr. ROMILLY was prepared to state some additional preliminary
ot..L'actions to those stated on a former day.
Mr. HART opposed this, unless Mr. Romilly was ready to go
into the merits.
Mr. HOMILLT thought his objections would be found to be
fatal, and wished to know whether the Court would hear him.
The Loan CnauceLLOß said it would be better that all obser-
vations should be reserved until the cue was brought on finally. lle
would take this opportunity of saying, in consequence of many in-
conveniences having arisen from a change: of practice with the offi-
cers of the Court, he now desired the Registrar to take this down as
a standing order, " that every Sixty Clerk shill return to the Six
Clerk the Record obtained from the Si: Clerk, to be copied within
the time mentioned in the established order of the Court, and that
the same stall not longer be detained int the hands of the Sixty
Clerk."

LK TRt MATTER OF THOMAS THORPE, A BANKRUPT.
Mr. Hops produced an affidavit, stating that the three assignees
had given every Information they poasesaed to the persona employed
to NU the bankrupt's books, as to their value, and the manner in
which they ought to be brought to market; that they intended to
continue doing so ; that they did not consider the value of the books
more than the already estimated turn, namely, 18,000/. and a frac.
tow ; and that they did not mean anything unfair in wishing leave
to bid at this sale.
The LonoCitamcgt ton thought upon this affidavit the partners
of the itlsignees might be at liberty to bid at this sale. His Lordship
istiraated, that in consequence of having received a summons to at-
tend the Privy Council he was under the necessity of leaving the
Court at balf-past mot:o'clock.
