LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
HUNT V. HUNT-APPEAL JUDGMENT.

This was an appeal from the decision of the Master of the
Rolls, refusing to grant an injunction against the appellant's
husband, to restrain him from proceeding in an mtion in
the Divorce Court for restoration of his conjugal rights in
contravention of deed of separation, executed by them,
whereby he became bound not to sue for a restoration of
his conjugal rights.
The Lord Chancellor at the rising of the Court before
Christmas expressed an opinion contrary to the decision of
the Master of the Rolls, and having reconsidered the case
during the recess, his lordship (the Lord Chancellor) this
morning delivered judgment, reversing the decision of the
Master of the Rolls, and granted the injunction asked
against the husband.
APPEAL JUDGMENT.-PHILIPS V. PHILIPS.
This was an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir
John Stuart. The suit was instituted for the purpose of
obtaining an account and payment of what was due to the
plaintiff, who sued as a pauper in respect of the arrears of
an annuity of £2O granted to him in 1820. 2he bill stated
that John Philips, the brother of the plaintiff, by indenture
dated Feb. 4, 1820, charged an estate called Blanaway,
which he ha•l inherited through his father's intestacy,
with the payment of the annuity of £2O to the plaintiff for
life. The estate at that time was subject to a mortgage of
£1,200, and the annuity was payable after the death of his
mother.

The defendant asked to set aside the deed from want of
valuable consideration: and pleaded the Statue of Limita-
tion.

The Vice-Chancellor held that there was no evidence to
show that the annuity deed was a voluntary deed, and there
was no evidence to show that the defendant had not re-
ceived due notice of the deed; and, moreover, the defence
that the plaintiff had hot purchased for a valuable consi-
deration ought to have been pleaded, and, therefore, his
honour made a decree in favour of the plaintiff, with costa.
Against this decision the defendant appealed.
The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Vice-
Chancellor, and dismissed the appeal, without costs, in
respect that the plaintiff sued en forma pauperis.

THE UTILISATION OF THE SEWAGE

OF THE METROPOLIS.

After some years of distrust, delay, and debate, we ap-
pear to be coming to a solution of this problem through a
proposal which is at present before the Board of Works.
The Board has in hand our delivery from a nuisance, and
it seems to be not only about to accomplish its work of
drainage within the specified time and the estimated cost,
but to be also on the point of arriving at the conclusion that
others can convert this nuisance to a benefit. The state of
the case at present is simply as follows :—The controversy
between the Government and the Board of Woiks them-
selves is closed, and the Board are now fulfilling their
obligations to carry the sewage to outfalls beyond the
limits of the metropolis. They are still, however,
liable to indictments for nuisance, under the provi-
sions of the " Metropolitan Main Drainage Act" of
the 2d of August, 1858, should they cause any
annoyance to the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of
the place of outfall. It is natural, therefore, that they
should view with much apprehension the experiment of
discharging such a vast body of sewage as that derived
from the northern area of the metropolis, and estimated at
10,000,000 cubic feet per diem, in the near vicinity of popu-
lous neighbourhoods ; and not only may they anticipate re-
monstrances, which may be well founded, from Woolwich
and other districts affected, but there is great fear also that
Barking Creek ma), not be distant enough for the protec-
tion:of London itself. They pour the sewage into the
Thames at this point, in the hope that it may go down the
river; but it may perversely obey the ebb and flow of
the tido in preference to the requirements of all the
Commissioners, to the detriment of our health, and
our continued annoyance. The investigations of
" experts" seem to show that it will do so. Mr.
Gurney, in his report to the First Commissioner of
Works, " On the State of the Thames in the Neighbour-
hood of the Houses of Parliament," adduces the parallel
action of the tide in the river Camel, in Cornwall, and
proves incontrovertibly the superior power of the upcast
over the downcast in its action on insoluble matters held in
suspension by tidal rivers, and adds, "I think it right to
observe here that it is evident sewage like the above sand"
(the material of Mr. Gurney's experiments), "if thrown
into the Thames—no matter how far down—will be brought
back again" (the italics are Mr. Gurney's) by the upcast ;
and, if the retrogrades are not destroyed, it will be retained
in the river in quantities sufficient to be offensive to the
Houses of Parliament." We can imagine the explosion,
from Mr. Speaker downwards, when the nuisance supposed
to be exorcised and finally laid at Barking Creek is brought
back again in a hot July or August. The apprehension seems
to be but too well founded, and the river-side, districts
of London may find some years hence that they are still far
from a deliverance from foul and noxious odours.

lbi i I

It might prove a serious question for the ratepayers of
London, who would then have to earry their excretia to
the sea, but, for a substantial proposal now on foot to take
their sewage fmm the discharging drains and to carry it
away by culverts for agricultural purposes. It was inevit-
able that some such offers should be made, from the esti
mate of the value of sewage as manure, when facilities are
given for its distribution in a liquid state. There is some
controversy as to its value in particular cases, but
the experiments on the meadows near Edinburgh,
and in Devonshire, have proved, in accordance
with the conclusions of the committee presided
over by Lord Essex, that under certain conditions if
may be utilised with prcfit. In the present case it seems
but reasonable to conclude that it may be so utilised upon
lands in Essex, especially upon the estuary land, now use-
loss, which the projectors propose to embank and reclaim.
It is no part of our function to estimate the prospects of a
commercial enterprise, but it is sufficient to entrust its pro-
moters with the execution of the work if they are practical,
experienced, and_responsible persons, and are now obtain-
ing, as we are assured is the case, the assent and support of
the resident landowners. Of the substantial pretensions of
their project there can be little doubt, seeing that Mr. Ba-
zalgette, the eng'neer of the Board of "Works, has himself
reported that their "proposition is the only one the pro-
moters of which have, by depositing plans, placed them-
selves in a position to carry out during the coming
Session of Parliament; and, so far as its engineering
character and details are concerned, it is thoroughly
practical, and deserves the favourable consideration
of the Board." Mr. Bazalgette has reported also that " the
estimate is fair and sufficient," and that "the tract selected
appears to be well adapted to the reception of the sewage,
and is, indeed, the only one suggested to the Board where,
from its position, extent, and the nature of its soil, there
would be a reasonable prospect of its receiving advantage-
ously so large and constant a discharge of sewage, without
creating a nuisance to the surrounding district." It is said
that the solid pretensions of this plan have encouraged the
conception of various projects which, as compared with
this, are yet in embryo, and which involve expectations
altogether chimerical. But the Board, who can do nothing
on their own account, would act wisely in closing with a
bona fide offer, on terms which their officers consider ad-
vantageous, and, by placing themselves in responsible
hands, would certainly avert from the metropolis and its
ratepayers the consequences of consigning their sewage to
the ebb and flow of the 1 hames.
