LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAT 15.
JARRING OP PRACTICE.

The SOLICITOIL-GINESAL had to call his Lordship;
attention to one or two points requiring immediately to be
remedied. The Muter of the Rolls' Court had now been
converted into a morning Court, sitting concurrently With
that of his Lordship's, which it had never until very ,
lately done. The result was, that Counsel had been under
the necessity of dividing themselves ; that was, of forming
themselves into sets, one set confining themselves to practice
here, and another to practice before the Master of the
Rolls. When a cause had been set down for hearing be-
fore his Lordship, and one of the parties afterwards thought
proper to set it down before the Master, it was the prac-
tice in the Registrar's office to strike it out of his Lord-
ship's paper, and retain it in the Master's. This led to
some inconvenience, but not to an inconvenience so great
as to cause it to be much felt while the Rolls Court re-
mained an evening Court, because the Counsel attending
before his Lordship had an opportunity of going
thither ; now, however, the consequence was very dif-
ferent. He (the Solicitor-General) and another gentle-
man had received briefs in a cause that had been set down
for hearing here ; that cause had subsequently (in the
way alluded to) been set down at the Rolls, the result
was, that if it were to be permitted to remain in his
Honour's paper, his (the Solicitor-General's) clients
would have to be at the expence of employing a second
set of Counsel, as those he had already engaged did not
go before the Master of the Rolls ; and if this practice
were to go on, the expence and inconvenience would be in-
calculable. This new creation of the Rolls Court had
led too to the farther evil of causing a race to take place
among the solicitors, to have their causes set down in the
Court in which their favourite Counsel were.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the Commit':
sioners had recommended that a cause should be heard
throughout in the Court into which it first went.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL did not believe such a rule
could be laid down without the interposition of the Lego"
lature.

The LORD CHANCELLOR saw the evil, and promised to
consult the Master of the Rolls upon the point that had
been drawn to his attention, and, with his Honour's con-
currence and sanction, would let the bar know what rule
must be laid down on the subject.
Mr. HORNE had no idea that some of the charges that
had taken place could be valid without an act of Parlia-
ment.

The LORD CHANCELLOR-Very likely not ; but I will
see what is to be done in the meantime, and at present/
let the cause referred to by the Solicitor-General be re"
stored to my paper.

PREROGATIVE COURT.
•
KERR V. PHILLIPS AND OTHERS.
This was a question as to the testamentary intentions O.
Mrs. Charlotte Phillips, the lady whose sudden death at
Finchley excited so much public attention ashert time since•
Dr. LUSHINGTON supported an allegation praying the
Court to admit two unfinished papers to probate, as they
contained the intentions of the deceased with respect to her
property. The deceased, under her mother's will, became
entitled to a sum of 5,000/., and she had executed a rege
lar will on the 31st July, 1829, disposing of this sum ill
a particular manner. Five days afterwards she drew uP
another paper of instructions, containing a different dis-
position of her property, which she placed in the hands of
a Mrs. Vesset, requesting they might be given to Mr.
Scott, her attorney, to be put into a legal form. Before
this was accomplished Mrs. Phillips died, and the adroit,'
sion of these papers to probate was opposed by her ne%t
relative, Mr. Atkinson, who would be entitled to the pro-
perty had she died intestate.
The Kiwa's ADVOCATE appeared on behalf of Mr. At-
kinson, and contended that this paper ought not legally to
operate, as the probability was, she had not finally made
up her mind as to the ultimate disposal of her property.
Dr. Anams appeared for the husband, Mr. H. Phi
and contended that the will of July, 1829, was not pro-
cured by undue influence of the husband, as had been
asserted. With respect to the allegation, he declared it
was a matter of indifference to his party whether it was
admitted or not. The only important difference between
them appeared to be a bequest of 500/. to Mr. Phillips's
natural daughter, and a different disposition of the moiety
of 2,500/. to her husband.

The JUDGE said it was evident that the intentions of
the deceased were contained in the will of 1829, and the
instructions now propounded ; and, he should, therefore,
direct the allegation to be admitted.
