LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. WroxisDAT, JAN. 18.

PK-PARTE TOVNBEND, A BANKRUPT.

It may be reniembered that this case was called upon on Mon-
day, and on an objection taken by Mr. MONTAGU cuss ordered
to stand over until this morning. The bankrupt, Air... Townsend,
complained by petition of the conduct of the assignees appointed
under his commission. and prayed that they may be removed and
other RS•irlitel appointed.
The bankrupt appeared in person to support his petition.
Mr. MONTAGU objected to the petition which had been pre-
sented. Ile said it was deficient in a most material point, for that
none of the bankrupt's creditors had joined in it, and the Court bad
frequently held that no bankrupt's petition could be entertained
unless one of his creditors joined in the application. flowerer
anxious he (Mr. Montagu) was in indulge the feeling of eharhy
towards his fellow-creatures, lie could n t neglect his professional
duty on this 'venation, hut must urge the objection lie hail stated.
The principle of tile derision to which he alluded was founded in
justice, anti it was a rule of practice, which, if not strictly adhered
to, would create considerable inconvenience in this particular
branch of the Court's jurisdiction. No doubt the newspapers
would represent this case in very pathetic hernia. It would be said
that a poor old gentleman, after being engaged for above twenty
years in litigation, was turned out of Court upon a mere point of
form; but notwithstanding such animadversions the titles of the
Court could not be dispensed with without producing a paralysis
of justice. His (Mr. 31ontagies) serse of duty obliged. him to
submit his objection, which had been frequently acted upon in
other eases, and in conclusion he would only observe, aim if the
petitioner was the highest Peer of die Ilealm he would urge his
objections,' readily as if a pauper had been before the Court.
Mr. Townsend earnestly hoped the Court would not postpone
the hearing of the case because of the objection now taken. The
case was fixed for this day, and he came prepared to enter upon it.
lie could not have anticipated the objection now urged, as the
Court had already recognised his right so petition, and the Lord
Chancellor had to his know ledge acted on flee similar petitions, with.
out any such objection having been made either by the Counsel or
the Court. _ . _

MI. MONTAGU rather doubted the assertion made by Mr.
Townaentl. He had been Counsel for 11r. Townsend, and did not
think that the fart was as stated.

•
Mr. Townsend was convinced of the accurst!, of his statement.
Ile supposed Mr. Montagu had managed the case very well bet Ore
the Lord Chancellor, tirr his Lordship entertained crazy petition he
presented.
Mr. 31oxTAGU-11 esn't take assertion for proof.

........„... .
The Vice.l7nswcwt.T.Oß inquired whether Mr. Townsend had
the petitions he rrterred to in Court.
Alr. Townsend replied in the negative. Re could not antici.
pate such a vexations objection.
The VICE.CHANCTLLon did he entertained no doubt as to the
validity of the objection. His decision on this, point has been re-
ported in lit Maddox, and it was known to every member of the
profession that assignees could not be set aside upon the mete pe.
tidon of the bankrupt. A creditor must joiu itt the petition, and
the bankrupt must have on interest.
Air. Townsend—But, your Honour, 1 hare an interest in the
question.
Ale. Mot:Tann—There is no affidavit to tkat erect.

Mr. Townsend thought it most cruid that he should be a vic-
tim to his is of form when hr was unable to pay for advice,
and had asked more than twenty solicitors and as many. counsel
for their gratuitous advice, ail:hi-int effect. The objection now
urged was most vexatious, and appeared doubly so when, in fact,
an parties agreed that the petition should be heard ibis day.
Mr. Ho WE thought it his duty to say that lie was net one of
the twenty persons alluded to by flie petitioner. From his know.
ledge of the bar of the Court, he mast say he disbelieved the mom
tion ; he did not think any Gentleman coi.nected with the bar would
have acted as the petitioner insinuated.
Mr. Townsend—l applied to the present Lord Gifford, to the
Solicitor-General, Mr. Ileedd, Mr. Cullen, and Mr. Wingfield,
and I could get no assistance fkom any of them.
Ills Honotm said he felt conrinted that the persons whose
names were mentioned would not have refused their assistance hail
they thought that the petitioner bad any case demanding the later.
ference of the Court. In tact, the complaint of the bankrupt was
utterly groundless, for had he applied to the Court. staring his in.
ability to WONTe advice, the Court wotikl hire assigned litin both
counsel and solicitor.

11r. Honer: said that if 31r. Townsend would intrust him with
his east he should hare his best assistance.

The VICE•CHANCIELLOR said the cue could not be in better
hands. sad requested Dlr. Home to 'ask the assistance of sotne re-
spectable solicitor.
Mr. MONTAGU suggested that HIP course recommended by the
Court was only to be adlptett in rises where there wire real }rounds
for interference, which he was of opinion there were not in the pre-
sent case.
The Vice-Crtargrt.r.on was quite certain thitt Mr. Horne
would not lend himself to any vexatious proceeding. He should
therefore direct the case to stand over until Mr. Burps bad looked
into it.
THE CORPOUATION OF nur,-rcx-roov-rn-EED THE
XING'S ATTOIIEY.GENEHAL.

Is this case a hill had been tiled by the A ttorney-Oeneral against
the Corporation of Berwick-upon-I'am'. to obtain pOssesmon of
the funds of a certain Charity, of width that Corporation had
possessed Itself. The case now came to he heard ou demurrer.
Mr. TINN EY read the pleliegs. •
The Sot.terrost-Ge ERA L, tor the Corporation, objected that
the Court had no jurisdiction in this case, as by charter tient King
James the Pint, confirmed by Act of Parliament, there existed
a Court of Equity within the borough of lierwick.upon-Tweed,
and in that Conrt, he contended, the application should have been
made. It was true there was a ease, the King v. Cowle, t'al Bur.
twitch, page 731, where Lord Mansfield held that a case may be
removed from the Law Court of the Borough by eutioroni to the
Court of King's Bench; but the application for that certiorari was
rounded upon affidavits, stating that the party could not obtain
justice in the local Court, for reasons then stated. It was clear
that an application to his Honour ought to have been founded on a
similar averment. that justice could not be obtained in the local
Court of Equity. No such averment had been made, and there-
fore he submitted the party must hare recourse to the local Court
of Equity.
The Vic F.-CHANCELLOR VIM it appeared to him that the ex-
istence of a local Court of Equity had not been satisfactorily
proved, either by origin or prescription.
The SOLICITOR-6r NERAL then applied for leave to amend the
plea, which the Court granted, upon an understanding that the
party amending shouid pay all costs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, JAN. IS.

Sittings Wore Lord Mkt' Justicc ABBOTT and a Special Jl:rv,

BRETT v. BEALE:3.
Thin Ins an action brought by the lessee of the Corporation of
Cambridge, to recover certain tolls which the Corporation claimed
to be retitled to trout immemorial cilium. The defendant was
car gentleman living near 'Cambridge., who disputed the right
of the Corporation, and had therefore determined to bring the
tpievioh before a Jury, by refusing to pay the tolls demanded of
him. .
111 r. Mawa,yAT (with whom Mr. TINDAL and Mr.--),
opened.the plaintiff's case, yesterday (Tuesday), and stated, that
the tolls which were the stittject of dispute consired of two, the
first being a toll of Iwo.pence on every cart, wagon, &c. passing
over certain bridges near the town and borough cat Cattiblidge, and
which was levied and raised by the Corporation for the purpose of
keeping the bridges in repair. The other toll was also one of two.
pence on all cans. which entered into, or went out of the
Borough, and which was levied and raised fur the purpose of keep.
ing the streets in good repair.
After •great deal of oral am! documentary evidence had been ad-
duced in support of the right of the Corporation, the cause was ad.
jaunted to this morning, when the plaintiff's cave having dosed,
Mr. SCAILLETB, on behalf of the defendant, contended thatthi
Corporation. or Cambridge were entitled to certain tolls lesied ou
market and ter days only, and that the tolls now claimed were
usurpations which had been set up in modern times. The Learned
Comm! then conuatented at great length on the evidence that had
been offered on the part of the plaintiff, and afterwards detaiied the
nature of the various docurnewary evidence %Inch he should pro.
duce, and which lie contended would satisfactorily show that co
such tolls as were now sought to be sustained hail ever existed
before the time of legal tremors., and therefore, as no grant of
them had been proved since that'petiod, (viz. the reign of Richard
the First), the Jury must come to the conclusion that they were
mere usurpations, and that the Corporation had no right whatever
to receive them.
Several aucient charters, grants, anti Acts of Parliament were
then put in mid read.
The Lola) eft Er .IrlTicE havingsurnined up the evidence,
The Jury, after a short consultation. returned a verdict for the
defendant.
