CAMBRIDGE.

This cafe had been the subject of reference to the
Master. The bill was originally filed by the plaintiff
to obtain an account of certain property, money, and
valuables, which it alleged had come into the posses-
sion of the Duke of Cambridge, as one of his guar-
dians, appointed at the time of Duke of Bruns-
wick's expulsion from his dominions; when a
settlement of his affairs and income was agreed to
by the reigning duke and the plaintiff's guardians.
It had been found necessary by the plaintiff to file a
supplemental bill in the cause, to which the defen-
dant had put in answers, and these were met by
the plaintiff by 13 exceptions for insufficiency, and
on various other grounds; There had been a refer-
ence to the Master on the subject, and he had allowed
the first, seventh, ninth, and eleventh exceptions, and
overruled all the rest. The plaintiff took exceptions
to that decision, and admitting that the third and tenth
had been properly overruled sought the interference
of the Master of the Rolls to,sustain the other excep-
tions taken.

Mr. Roundell Palmer and Mr. Cole were heard for
the Duke of Brunswick; Mr. Turner and Mr. Elms-
ley for the Duke of Cambridge.
Lord LANGDALE pronounced his judgment in favour
of the Duke of Brunswick upon two of the exceptions
—namely, the eleventh and twelfth, and against him
upon the remaining.

COURT OE BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 13.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Ifo',warn.)
IN LB 11. PATERSON.

The bankrupt, a livery-stable keeper of the Hippo-
drome, Notting-hill, applied fur his certificate. His
debts are about 1,4641 ; secured ditto, 12461. ; assets
—book debts,_soo/., of which )00f. has been realised.
Messrs. Pain and llatherley, of Gresham-street,
were solicitors to the fist ; and Mr. Lawrence sup-
ported the bankrupt.
Mr. PAIN stated that Messrs. Tattersall, who were
liability creditors to the extent of 1,0001, had
honourably withdrawn their claims, and that there
was no opposition to the bankrupt's certificate. He
raised the point as to whether or not the expenses
deposited by the bankrupt in respect to the certificate
meeting, amounting to 21. 19s. 101, should be paid
out of the estate, where there were assets, or by
himself.

His HoNoun held that such expenses should be
paid out of the estate where there were assets. The
certificate in this case must be granted as of the
third class.

Mr. Pain, a few days since, made a similar appli-
cation as to the costs of the certificate meeting, upon
b-half of the assignees of a bankrupt named Lewis,
and with the same result. He drew the attention of
the Learned Commissioner to the words of the 198th
section of the new Act, " that the Court should
appoint such certificate meeting.,

TOLSON.

In this case an application was made to set aside a
portion of the half-pay, of 7s. a day, of Major Tolson,
who, it appeared, had been in prison for debt 17 years,
and was still incarcerated.

Mr. STURGEON, who appeared for the major, op-
posed the application, and mentioned that a schedule
would be filed.

Mr. Coax', for the creditor who had obtained the
vesting order, was willing that the application should
stand over, en the understanding that the major would
file a schedule.

His HoNoun said, he had no doubt the present was
one of those unhappy cases in which, alter a long
imprisonment, the party was at length compelled to
come to the court. He regretted that the major had
not applied 17 years ago. The matter stood over on
the ground mentioned.
