FUTURE PROPERTY OF INSOLVENTS—
Scarcely a day passes that applications are not made to
the Insolvent Debtors' Court respecting subsequently
acquired property, and orders are made on the subject.
The publicity given to the cases has occasioned many
applications.

The further arguments in this case occupied his Lord-
ship the whole morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The resumed arguments in the case of Knight v.
Knight, occupied the Court th while of the day.

VICE.CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

NOKES V. WHARTON.

This case came before the Court this morning upon
motion to dissolve aninjunction which his Honour granted
on Saturday last, restraining the defendant from
selling Pope's Villa, at Twiekerham, or the fur-
niture thereof. It appeared that the plaintiff, some
time since, agreed to purchase the property in
question, but not being enabled to raise the
whole of the purchase money he applied to a gentlemen
in the City, who agreed to advance the money required
upon the plaintiff executing a conveyance to him of the
property. The conveyance was executed, and the de-
fendant was made a trustee of the property for the pur-
pose of selling it, should the money not be repaid to Mr.
Thornton in six months. That time had long since
gone by, and the property was advertised for sale in July
last, but in consequence of some arrangement between
the parties it was put off. The sale of the property had
been again advertised, and upon the plaintiff dis-
covering this he applied for an injunction ex-parte,
stating that he was not aware of the provision in
the conveyance that the sale was to take place i❑
case the money was not paid in six months ; and fur-
ther that the arrangement between the parties was that
the sale should not be made at all without the plaintiff's
assent. On this statement his Honour granted the in-
junction, which was now sought to be dissolved. On
the part of the defendant in applying to dissolve the in-
junction, it was urged, that the statements on which he
sustained it were without foundation ; and affidavits were
read which stated that the plaintiff was perfectly aware
of the provisions of the conveyance, and that his assent
was not required to proceed with the sale.
His HONOUR, at the conclusion of the arguments,
ordered the injunction to be dissolved, thereby allowing
the sale to proceed, which is advertised to take place
to-day.

EQUITY EXCHEQUER.

(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Sergeants' Inn before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
IN RE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RA ILWAY.—PE TITION

OF BRUEN AND OTHERS.

Mr. PALMER appeared for the petitioners, who are
the lessees for three lives under the Prebendary of Fen-
ton, in the Cathedral Church of York, of certain lands
taken by the York and North Midland Railway Com-
pany for the purposes of the railway. The petition
prayed that the money which had been paid into Court
might be invested, and the dividends paid to the peti-
tioners, together with the costs of making out the title,
and all other expenses incident thereto.
Mr. Baron A LDERSON—IS there any rent reserved
to the Prebendary ?
Mr. PALMER—There is a rent of 5/. a year in one
lease.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Is the property remaining
sufficient for that rent ?
Mr. PALMER—That is stated in the affidavit.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—This part of the property is
chargeable with the rent, unless the remainder is suffi-
cient to answer it.

Mr. PALMER—The Prebendary has been served with
a copy of the petition and he does cot appear.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You may take an order to
receive the dividends until further directions.

IN RE HULL AND SELBY RAILWAY.

This was the petition of the Master, Brethren, and
Sisters of God's House Hospital,at Kingston-upon-Hull,
part of whose property had been taken by the Hull and
Selby Railway Company. The petitioners stated that
they were the owners of certain other property in Hull,
which was subject to a mortgage of 5061. to Mr. W.H.
Dykes, and they prayed that the amount of the purchase
money paid by the Company into Court, might be paid
to the mortgagee in discharge of the mortgage.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—The property which i•
mortgaged is settled to the same uses as that taken, I
presume ?
The Learned Gentleman who Appeared for the peti-
tioners, replied that they were a corporation seized in fee
of such property to the same same uses, and
Mr. Baron ALDERSON then said there was no objec-
tion to the payment.
Mr. BARBER (who appeared for the Company) ob-
jected to pay the expenses relative to the mortgage.
The petition did not define the costs which were asked.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON directed that the Company
should pay the costs of the investment, and of the pre-
sent application.

SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

ARNOTT V. LORD A. CHICHESTER.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 751,
lent by the plaintiC to the defendant.

The clerk of Mr. T. B. Howell (plaintiff's attorney),
read copies of two letters addressed to his T,rdair •,.
the Naval and Alilitary Lib douse, St. Jame6'F, re-
questing payment of the demand, and stating that a
draft given by his Lordship on Messrs. Cox and Co. fir
70/. in payment of the debt, had been returned unpaid.
The answers to these were put in, and read by the
Sheriff, in which the 'defendant requested that legal pro-
ceedings might be stayed for a time, as he was nego-
tiating fora loan, on the success of which plaintiff's de-
mand would be met.

No person appearing on the part of his Lordship, the
Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount.
