The 'LORD CHANCE! t.Olt--•" This Petition is
great importance--dirst, on .nee•otrit of the daterent
points which it infalVes ; auirsecotolly, 1111 sternum.
of being sir Alipeat from q judgment delivered
by another branch of the Court. • The Petitioner•
proyi,los the first' Osier, that the order Whirls limit
been Made might be reheard, mid also that that
order might be reversed, and et the saute time first-
certain accounts might be ordered to stain!. That
circumstances of the case, as stated in the Petition,
and not Contradicted hi' the affidavits in rq;fwrr,
except in one small point, are these : the month
of July, 1812, Wood and others carried on a hook-
ing concern in Co otherland, under the firm of Wood.
and Co.; sit the time Iles Wall the
else, Peele sod others, carried on the trade of ship-
builder., and kept their account with the at..e.•
firm as their bankers. 1 observe, that. at the basil-.
time, Stein and Smith had a mercantile hours
Fenchurch-street, !Audi), and the Condon land
Bankers drew on them as their agents its London.
Wood and Co. were the principals, and Stein and
Smith were considered and called by them then
agents. The Cumberland Bankers were soon de-
clared bankrupts, an were Smith and Skirt at the
same time. The account of Peale and Co. con-
sisted of bills drawn by Wood and Co. on Stem
and Smith, in London. There was it balance of
11,8021 booed in Wood and Co.'s hooks against
Perk and Co. which bills came hack upon Peek
and Co. which they of course took up, and by
setting off two bills of Stein and Smith's, they
became creditors to the amount of ;ow. I under-
stand that when this question was last heard, the
matter was treated thus, that the bill-holders had sr
right to prove under both commissions ; but 1 ay-
prebend the question will appear in a very ddrereat
light, when you consider the whole of the traiwac-
Innis which took place, namely. that cash was paid
sometimes in the country, and tomttimes in Lon-
don. One affidavit states, that upon the 18th nt
April, the 700/. was debited as cash, altbong:p
the bill was not to produce cash instil the lgth
August. 1 observe also, that another bill was de-
bited as cash in Julie, although it was net to pi 0-
duce cash until the 13th of August. An atiitlavit,
however, ors the other side says, that this is not true
according to the statement in the pass-hook, the
effect of which book being that the bills were to be
charged only if paid. The whole question thin is,
if the hills are hoot paid, why should not the sum
he struck out altogether? It is only common
sense to say, if the hilts are not paid they are ;;.,al
for nothing. It seems to me. therefore, that tl e
order which has been made e: not proper, and
therefore reverse it, awl thereby give you the relief
prayed for."
