ROLLS' COURT.-(TIIIS DAY.)

POINT OF PRACTICE.
KEMP V. WADE.-JUDGMENT.

This was a mo:if4l to take the Master's certificate ofrthe file,
and to discharge the four-day order which had been issued
upon it. The certificate was on the defendants' default in the
production of deeds, papers, and writings, in Lis possession.
It was objected, ti_at in the proceedings before the Master,
the Master bad charged the defendant with the pessession of
deeds, &c., not on a statement, admission, or examination of
himself, but on evidence, consisting of the answer of another
defendant.

His LORDSHIP said the objection appeared to him to be
founded in fact and to be valid. An objection was then made
as to the regularity of the application, and it was argued that
exceptions ought to have been taken to the Master's certificate
on this point. His Lordship had made inquiry, and the Mas-
ters had done him the favour to give him their assistance in a
point .that materially affected the practice in their office,
and in the certificate he hid received from them there was this
passage :—" The mode of proceeding, in cases of a certificate
of default in not producing deeds, &c., is for the party apply-
in.' for the production to obtain the usual four-dav order, and
then for the other party to apply to the Court to diachargethat
order." That was precisely the mode of proceeding that hnd
been adopted in this case ; and therefore he must consider it
to be in conformity to the practice. His Lordship observed it
gave him great concern to find, in the inquiry he had made,
that there was so much uncertainty in the different decisions of.
the Court ; and he hoped that some means might be found, by
which the practitioners of the Court would have a more cer-
tain guide. Although he could not give way to it, yet he
thought the objection was not made without sufficient reason,
and therefore he should order the defendant's costs to be costs
in the cause.

ATTORNE4•GENERAL V.I.ORD CARRINGTON.

This case MIS opened yesterday by Mr. fkI!IIERTON. It
came before the Court upon a motion for an injunction to
strain the defendants, the trustees of the free school of Hum-
berstone in Lincolnshire, from removing the Rev. Josiah
Gedge, master of the school, and to restrain them from pro-
ceeding with an action of ejectment to remove him from the
school-house.

. The reading of the evidence in support of the motion, oc-
cupied the attention of the Court nearly the whJle of this
morning.

was found that he had stabbed himself twice with a knife in the heart.
Medical assistance was immediately procured, but he expired two hours
