CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.)
COOPER V. THE EARL OF POWIS.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Malins, the
counsel for the plaintiff, that in the Parliament session of
the year 1846, which was remarkable for the number of
railways that were ushered into existence, and for the
extent to which they went to supersede the use of canals
in the Midland Counties, the Birmingham and Liver.
pool, and the Chester and Ellesmere canals, being
situated in a part of the country in which there were
various schemes propounded for the construction of rail-
ways, were marked out for amalgamation, with various
lines of railroad in Shropshire, under the title of the
Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company. The
plaintiff sued on behalf of himself, as the subscriber of
seventy-three 201. shares, and a member of the incorpo-
rated company, consisting of the canals and the railway
company. The defendants bad made calls on the holders
of those 201. shares in this united company, not, as
the plaintiff contended, for the purpose for which
that cipital was created, namely, the construction of the
railway, but for the pirpose of paying off a considerable
mortgage debt which existed on the canals before their
amalgamation with the railway company. The object
of the present suit was to restrain the defendants from
doing that.

The arguments had not concluded when our report left.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

(Beforo the Vice-Chancellor Itracirc BRUCE.)
HAYWARD V. PURSEY.

This was a suit for the purpose of setting aside four
under-leases, dated the 15th of April, 1843, executed by
a Mr. Saville Godfrey, who formerly lived at 10, Mount-
gardens, Lambeth, and also to bring back to his estate
certain sums of stock, amounting to 1,0001. Three per
Cent. Annuities, purchased by him in tne name of some
of the defendants, one Mr. Coombes and his wife, and
of their children, in different sums, on the 11th of
January, the 13th and 24th of February, the 12th
of April, the 25th of May, 1843, it being alleged that the
said Mr. Godfrey was then of unsound mind. A com-
mission of lunacy had been sued out against the unfortu-
nate gentleman in 1845, and the evidence taken on that
occasion went to show that in a period embracing the
years 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845, he was the subject of
strange hallucinations at intervals. On one occasion he
took into his bead that there were several women who
wanted to marry him, and he applied to a friend for
money with which to buy clothes for his wedding. On
another occasion, in August, 1843, while he was staying
in the company of a friend at the Ship Hotel, Dover,
the chamber-maid hearing a noise in the middle of the
night in the house after all the inmates had retired to
rest, gut up to ascertain the cause of it, when she found
Mr. Godfrey in his night-shirt in the lobby, wandering
about, not knowing where he was. The chambermaid
conducted him to his bed-room, when he declared to her
his belief that he nss in a disreputable house, and that
she was a woman of a disreputable character. At an-
other time when she went into his room he desired her
to look at things which did not exist—such as soldiers
in the street, when there were no soldiers there. His
gardener deposed, that on one occasion, when Mr. God-
frey came into the garden he pointed witness's attention
to some images which stood in the garden, and remarked
to him how finely they grew. Another witness deposed
to his being in the habit of asking the chairs in the room
how they did, and of attempting to shake hands with
them; and at other times of crawling on the ground on
all f,urs.

Mr. STEVENS was continuing to read the depositions
when we went to press.
(Before Vice Chancellor WIGRAM.)
His HONOUR was occupied during the morning in
hearing short causes.

DEATH OF MRS. JERMY.—It is with extreme
regret we have to announce the death, on Thursday
evening, of poor Mrs. Jermy, after intense suffering.
Eliza Chestney is also in a precarious state; so that it
is still uncertain if Rush's trial will come on, as deposi-
tions cannot be put in while the parties are living; and
there is, we fear, little hope of the poor girl being able to
attend in court.—Cambridge Independent.
DEATH OF MR. HUSSEY, LATE M.P. FOR SALIS•
BURY.—We regret to announce the demise of this gen-
tleman, formerly M.P. for Salisbury, and one of the most
uncompromising champions of the agricultural interest.
He died at his residence near that city on Wednesday
last, at the early age of 42.
We understand that the house of Mr. G. T. Braine
will be prepared to pay a further considerable instalment
on the 10th cf
