CHANCERY COURT.-(THUS DAY.)

The Loan CHANCELLOR sat in Lia:.‘oln's Inn Hall to-day.

COOK V. COLLINRIDGE.

This case came bele, c the Court upon petition, praying that
two sums, of 40C/. and 100/. might be paid to the petitioner.
The facts of the eaFe were shortly those :—ln 1829 a lady
n caned Gi ay was entitled to-a life interest in a fund standing to
the account of herself and children. Being in want of money,
she applied to her solicitor, a gentleman of the name of Brooks.
for an advance, upon which occasion Mr. Brooks lent her the
sum of 4001. Mrs. Gray subsequently borrowed a aunt of
100/ from a lady nam,:d Cooper, who had lent to Mr. Brooks
the sum of 2,000/. That gentleman, in order to secure that
SLIM to Mrs. Cooper, mortgaged certain estates, and the as+
signment of the security of Mrs. Gray. A petition was
presented in July last by Thomas Pat sons, and Mrs.
Cooper, as hating a joint security for the 400/., and
also by Mrs. Cooper, as having a security for the 100/.,
praying that the two sums might be paid to them
out or Mrs. Gray,.3 dividends. Upon the Petition coming be-
fore his honour, the Vice-Chancellor, be refused to interfere
upon the ground, that he had no jurisdiction. On the 9th of
August, the matter came before the Lord Chancellor. Mr
Brooks, however, had in the meantime, obtained the money,
' and the present Petition was fur the purpoto of making him
refund that amount.

Mr. COOPER and Mr. GIRDLESTONE supported the Petition,
and Mr. Knight Bruce, and Mr. Bethel, appeared for Mr.
Brooks.
The LORD CHANCELLOR declined to make any order upon
Cie Petition.
