MANCHESTER REFORM PETITION.—R.
POTTER, Esq. and EDWARD BAXTER, Esq., of Manchester.
have arrived in London, having been deputed by their
townsmen to he the bearers of the petition to the Lords,
agreed upon at the late great meeting. The petition is an
enormously bulky and weighty roll of parchment, contain-
ing the extraordinary number of 32,900 names, being
nearly ten thousand more than the petition presented to
the Commons at the time when enthusiasm was supposed
to be at its height. These names were all affixed in five
days:, and it may give some idea of the avidity with which
it was signed, that one day at the Times office, one of the
places when', the sheets lay, the signatures averaged two
minute fir ten hours' running.
The members of the Royal Naval Club gave
a sumptuous banquet on Wednesday evening, at their house
in New Bond-street, to Lord DE SA UMAREZ, on his eleva-
tion to the Peerage. Admiral Sir T. WILLIAMS presided.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS DAY.),,.L LONGFORD,"(
anill
The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of
BERESFORD, sat to hear Scotch appeals to-day.
HUNTER V. COCHRANE AND OTHERS.
The question in this appeal, which was part heard
terday, though one of but very little interest except to:,
parties, has perhaps led to more litigation than latif,
which has come before the House of Lords for some Iri*
not fewer than 25 judgments having been pronounce
it by the Court of Session, and 18 years having rip
since the litigation commenced. The late Hon' is
Cochrane, whose trustees the present respondents trereik,„
returning from India in 1807, in possession of a largeLf
tune, became acquainted with the appellant, Mr. On,
who proposed to him to purchase a large estate in Peri*
shire, called Auchterarder, for the purpose of selling
lots. Mr. Cochrane having a large ready money cnt,
at command, and thinking that such an investareat'''.
would be highly advantageous to him, agreed to do
Mr. H. not having funds, it was manged that Mr. C. °11,7;
pay the purchase money, 50,0001., the conveyance °'
estate being made to hint, but Mr. H. was to be liable
the half of any loss that might arise, or entitled to the 'rd
of the property if there were any. In the latter eno.„,
1808 an agreement was executed, the provisions of trli
were, that the property should remain vested in
g I
Cochrane until Mr. Hunter paid 25,000/, and then Poi
C. was bound to hand over to him an undivided lolf,„,
the estate; but if in the interim any put of the proper;/
should have been sold, then, on Mr. Hunter's paytac°lo
one-half of the principal sum remaining, Mr. C. Was tor-
him an undivided half of the remaining lands. Mr. Cocal
was to make up annual accounts, and the original 10133_/,,,r
vanced by him was to bear interest at five per cent., le,
the repayment of which the profits, if any, were to
divided equally between Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Hutt
and if there was loss on the speculation each party WI;
bear it proportionally. The appellant was appall:o'4
receive the rents or arrange the transactions, &c. for
Cochrane, but that gentleman, from some cause or other;
being dissatisfied with what Mr. Hunter had done, refits;
to join in an advertisement for the sale of the property in
till he had visited the estate. That visit increased the disc's'
faction of Mr. Cochrane, and he immediately gave notice
Ito the appellant of his intention to authorise a Mr. Thal*
son to act in his place as agent for the sale of the est&
Mr. Hunter refused to give up the management,
ing that be was the partner of Mr. Cochrane, and not DI
factor. An intimation was then given to the appellart:i
Mr. Cochrane's determination to sell the estate, haring
legal advice upon the subject, which fully authorised
in doing so within the period of eight years, on inner
ing proper advertisements of hisintention; this intimati°ll
was accompanied with a request to the appellant to give UP
the title-deeds. This the appellant would not accede:l
and immediately commenced proceedings agaial.•
Cochrane in the year 1813, which have continued fr°
that to the present time. In February, 183:, the C°lirt
of Session pronouncing a judgment against the aPPelit°
