LAW INTELLIGENCE

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, DEC. 8.
THE MARQUIS OF BREADALBANE V. THE MARQUIS OF

CHANDOS.

Mr. TINNEY replied this morning to the arguments urged
by the other side in support of the injunction, and after re-
stating the objections put forth in his opening speech, parti-
cularly dwelt on the fact that all Scotch lawyers held it to
be necessary that the child should give her express consent
in so many words to abandon her title to legitim. In the
present case it never had been asserted that any such con-
sent was either given or implied, or that the Marquis or
Marchioness of Chandos had any thought of legitim at the
time they signed the marriage articles.
The LORD CHANCELLOR d►rected the parties to hand up
the documents referred to, that he might have an opportu-
nity to examine them before he pronounced his opinion on
the motion.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 8.
MEEK AND OTHERS V. BAKER.
In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we
went to press, the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant

TAYLOR. V. BIRNIE.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, George
Taylor, a mariner, against Mr. Birnie, the son and executor
of Alexander Birnie, who had been the sole owner of the
ship Elizabeth, to recover wages for service rendered on
board the said ship, during the space of about twenty-four
months. The plaintiff, at about the age of seventeen,
having gone out in another ship belonging to the same
owner, called the Ann, and considering himself ill-used, left
her upon arriving at the island of Rotuma in the South
Seas, where in May, 1833, the Elizabeth arrived, having
been cruising in the South Seas, on a whale voyage, From
that island to Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Laud, the
plaintiff worked his passage on board the Elizabeth. At
Hobart Town the former captain left the vessel, and a new
captain took charge of her. The old crew were then dis-
charged, and amongst other mariners the plaintiff was taken
on board. The vessel left Hobart Town in December,
1833, and arrived in England on the 28th of September,
1835 ; and for the services rendered by the plaintiff during
that time the present action was brought. The Jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed.

EXCHEQUER COURT, DEc. 8.
YOUNG V. SLARKE AND ANOTHER.
This was an action to recover a sum of 1201. for goods
sold and delivered to the defendants. The plaintiff was a
glass-manufacturer, and the defendants carried on partner-
ship as painters and graziers. One of the defendants suf-
fered judgment to go by default, and gave an acknowledg-
ment of the debt. The other defendant put in a plea deny-
inc, the partnership, and relied upon a return of a portion of
the goods which were damaged. A great deal of evidence
was adduced to prove that a partnership existed at the time
of the delivery of the goods, the charges for which were fair
and reasonable. The Jury found for the plaintiff, and his
Lordship awarded speedy execution.
