LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CLIASCERY, Jutr 27.
GREIG v. SOMERVILLE.
The LORD CUANCELLOR was of opinion that in this case
the creditor (his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia)
might prove his debt before the Master, in the proportion of
the fund now remaining of the intestate's estate, the property
of the infant—namely, to the extent of five.ninths.
Several motions were heard this day, but one of any fru
portance.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 28.

GLASSINGTON v. TiIIVAITES.
'this-case having been introduced into the Court some four
years ago, has gone through the formal stages of bill and cross.
• bill, amended bill, and amended cross-bill, answers to bill and
cross-bill, exceptions, pleas, and revivor, arid all the other bar.
riers which equity has opposed to the premature disposal of li-
tigated property.
Mr. AGAR. moved this day, that his client, the defendant,might not be comPelled to put in his answer to the plaintiff's
amended bill until 14 days after theplaintiff should have put
in his answer to the defendant's amended cross.bill. The
Learned. Gentleman supported his motion by authorities and
arguments involving only points of Chancery practice, and
quite-uninteresting to the general reader. _
Mr. PARKER followed on the same side.
Mr. RoUPEL, for Mr. Glassington, opposed the motion, on
the ground that the defendant having applied for an order in
time, was not entitled to an order in priority.
Mr. Glassington, the 'plaintiff, himself next addressed the
Court from the place usually occupied by solicitors, and com-
plained that he had not yet received an answer to his' amended
bill, although he had been five years in Court.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR declared that it was his impres-
sion that when a party had an order for time, he could not
afterwards get an order in priority.—Motion refused.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 27.
This day his Honour heard motions, most of which were un-
opposed, and none possessed any interest for the public. The
Court rose at half-past three o'clock.

I There lived, for nearly thirty years, in Calton,
a weaver and his wife, whose habits were some-
what singular. They both were very industrious
and wrought hard, and regularly regaled them-
selves with a copious supply of whisky. They
never were heard to quarrel, but were always on
the most agreeable terms ; and when the hu-
band would go on the " fuddle," his helpmate,
instead of fretting or scolding him, us•is the prac-
I tice of most frugal housewives, invariably follow-
ed his example, and they generally went reeling
home, happy together. Thus they lived, mutually
indulging in their favourite propensity whenever
they could come at drink. About a fortnight
before last fair, they began their potations ; and
the wife having gone far beyond her usual ex-
cess, was confined to bed. Her indulgent hus-
band, however, sympathising with her, carefully
supplied her with the usual quantity. On Sa-
turday some other persons had been treating her
with what they considered as the, infallible re-
medy for all disorders; and she had taken so
much, that on Sunday morningi when they were
endeavouring to awaken her, to get a fresh supply
of the favourite beverage, to dispel the effects of
the preceding night's excess, it was dis Covered
that she was dead.—(Glasgow Chronicle.)

The West Highlands have this season been vi-
sited bz an unusal number of Iriih and Cockney
travellers. For a month past they have thronged
the roads, the inns, and, places of public resort,
particularly in the northern and romantic parts of
the counties of Dumbarton, Stirling,' and Perth.
Four years ago, Lord Gwydyr,erkted a corn-
modiou's inn ~n the banks of Loch Katerine, cor
the accomm'odaticm of travellers 'why visit the in-
terestine scenery of the Trossacks and 'neighbour-
hood, and 'on Monday night there were forty-nine
males and three females' lodged in the aboVe
inn. Of these, there were only one Party from
Glasgow, the others were neati All from the
other kingdoms',. Though a number departed au
Tuesday, the -arrivals were fully an numerous ;
and the number of people Who have visited `Loch
Katerint this season already is fully dauble that
of the preceding year.
