COCK PHEASANT.

For the Eglinton Biennial Stakes I shall select Corse•
bus. In his default, Benharns will perhaps pull throagh•
If sound and well Morgan La Faye may win the Pro-
duce Stakes. Should she, however, be an absentee
ilattcraiok may bo capable of getting his bead
first past the winning-post. So little is at present known
respecting the probable starters for the Licensed 'Vic-
tuallers' Plate that I can only indicate a lot " well in,"
and must leave the reader to belect the winner when he
sees the numbers on the telegraph board. Casting ref
eye over the Handicap, my attention is arrested by the
following names :—Vindex, 5 yrs, Bst 21b ; Early Bird,
4 yrs, (including 101 b extra) Bst 21b; Dervish, 4 yrs,
Bst ; Orson, 4 yrs, 7st 41b ; Octavio', 6 yrs, 7st 21b ;
Ellermire, 3 yrs, Est ; Maid of Cadiz, 3 yrs, (including
51b extra) sst 81b.

The Liverpool St. Leger will doubtless be placed is
Corcebus's list of winnings.—Nuf ced.

A FRESH MAN.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
ABSENCE OF COUNSEL.

The Lord Chancellor took his seat in his court in the
Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn, to-day, at half-past 10 o'clock,
the hour specially appointed. At this time not a single
counsel in any of the cases on the paper were present.
His lordship ordered the cases to be called on in order,f
but no counsel appearing in any of them, after he had
patiently waited upwards of a quarter of an hour, his
lordship ordered all of them to be struck out of the
paper, observing, with some warmth, that that was the
only course left in consequence of the neglect of counsel
in their attendance. His lordship then left the hall, and

it was generally supposed the court had risen for the
day ; but Mr. Roundell Palmer and Mr. Lloyd having
found time to come from the other courts in which they
were engaged into the court of the Lord Chancellor, it
was intimated to his lordship that such was the case,
and he, with a consideration that would never have been
adopted by his great predecessors, and with an anxiety
that the public time should not be wasted in consequence
of the multifarious occupations of counsel, returned into
court, and the part-heard appeal from the judgment of
the Master of the Rolls, of Rogers v. Rogers, was pro-
ceeded with, and occupied his lordship to his rising.
This being the fourth seal the other equity courts took
appeal motions and motions, but nothing of interest
occurred in any of them.

The Master of the Rolls gave judgment in the camel
of 0 vrett v. Corser and Bourne v. Shaw, the points in
whioh were of value only to the parties concerned.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL.
(Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN V. HANDCOCK.

This action, which came on for hearing on Saturday,
was brought to a close yesterday afternoon. The ques-
tion in dispute was an alleged infringement of a paten'
for the manufacture of india-rubber, the invention being
what was termed "cold resistance," which gives to the
article that solidity to fit it for purposes of ornament and
use. The point was of the utmost importance to the
defendant, who belongs to the well-known firm of Mack-
intosh and Co. It was contended by the prosecution
that the invention belonged to a Mr. Goodyear, of
America, and known in this country before the defen-
dant took out his patent, and that consequently the lat-
ter's patent ought to be repealed for want of novelty.
Lord Campbell, in summing up, asked the jury whether
they believed that at the time Mr. Ilandcock took out
his patent be bad himself discovered this improvement
in the manufacture of india•rubber. If they thought so►
they must find their verdict for the defendant ; if not,
then they must find their verdict for the prosecution.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

CALL OF THE ITOUSE OF COMIONEL—It will be seen
from our Parliamentary intelligence that Mr. Roebuck
has given notice that he will move for " a call of the
house" on Tuesday, July 17, the day appointed for his
motion of censure on the government in reference to the
Crimean expedition. Many years have elapsed since
a "call" was made. Those who heard or have read
the celebrated debates on Catholic emancipation
will be familiar with calls of the house, arising
from the frequent motions to that effect by Sir Francis
Burdett ; but members of Parliament of only 11
few years' standing have never been subject to the
" call," and are scarcely acquainted with the pains and
penalties, which are the result of disobedience. T°;
night (Tuesday) Mr. Roebuck will move that there shall
be a call of the house on the 17th inst., and if the motion
be agreed to every member who has not previously ob-
tained leave of absence from the house must be in bio
seat. On assembling the names of the members will be
called, and those who do not answer will be taken into
custody by the Serjeant-atsArms and lodged in prison so
soon as that high Parliamentary functionary, who is at
once the executive and the ceremonial officer of the
house, can lay his hands upon them. From duralwe
vile they will be brought to the bar of the house, whetre
they will be called upon to make the amende lumordbl
for their contumacy and to pay a trifle in the way °
fees. A "call" is one of the most interesting and c
citing scenes the House of Commons ever wituipaeo.
