LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF CHANCERY.

(Before the Lards Justices Knight Bruce and Ttu-ner

BROUN V. KENNEDY.

Their Lordships gave judgment in this ease, which was
an appeal from the Master of the Rolls. It will be re-
collected Mr. Kennedy undertook, as advocate for Mrs.
Broun (then Mrs. Swinfen) the management of the long
and costly litigation which arose out of the disputed -will of
Mrs. Broun's late husband, Samuel Swinfen. By the ex-
ertions of Mr. Kennedy that will was established in favour
of Mrs. Broun. In order to attend to the matter moa-e care •
fully Mr Kennedy had been obliged in a great measure to
give up his ordinary business, and in consequence had
suffered considerable loss. It did not appear that he ever
received any recompense for his services. The effect of the
will was to vest the Swinfen Hall estates in Mrs. Broun in
fee simple. Mr. Kennedy succeeded in obtaining from
Mrs. Broun a deed of gift, whereby she settled upon him
the reversion in fee of the Swinfen Hall estates, as a recom-
pense for his exertions in her behalf. Mrs. Broun and her
husband filed a bill for the purpose of having this deed de-
livered up to be cancelled, on the ground that it had been
obtained by the exercise of improper influence. The Master
of the Rolls directed the deed to be delivered up and can-
celled. From this decision Mr. Kennedy appealed.
Their Lordships ordered the appeal to be dismissed with
costs.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALLS'.-LAST EVENING.

There was scarcely a feature of the afternoon't;transac-
dons calculated to redeem the tone of business from that (.4
utter flatness, There were few members present, and even
those who did put in an appearance came more in expecta-
tion of arriving at something definite on the Chester Cup
movements than with any decided intention of betting on
that or any other event. The great spring handicap was,
however, but slightly touched upon, the only bets booked
being 100 to 6 about Anfield, 20 " fifties" about BlaAtiown,
and 1,000 to 40 about Muezzin. In the City in the morning
500 to 10 each was accepted about Mail Train and Liston
for the City and Suburban ; but at the Corner the race was
not even mentioned. For the Derby Scottish Chief would
have been backed to money at 11 to 1; but the layers were
not disposed to accommodate one or two who displayed
considerable eagerness to " get on" Mr. Merry's crack.
Coastguard was again in renewed force, 14 to 1, or tw
points less than on Monday last, having been taken free) y.
Forager was anything but firm, and Birch Broom was not
so fondly inquired after as in the early part of the Reek,
