BLACKBURN V. LORD MANSFIELD AND OTHERS.

Mr. HoitNE applied for an immediate hearing of this case;
it was one of waste, and was of considerable urgency and im-
portance.
Mr. BICKERSTETH opposed the application. It was ne-
cessary to send into Cheshire for information. Some delay was
therefore absolutely requisite. Ile knew nothing at present of
the case. _ _

Mr. lionNE hoped, if any delay took place, an interim in-
junction would be granted, as hostilities had commenced upon
a formidable scale; an armed force had collected, with great
guns, small arms, spears, and other weapons.
Mr. BICKERS TEm stated that the matter in dispute stood
for trial at the present Cheshire Assizes.
The case was fixed for hearing on Monday.
The Court then proceeded to hear bankrupt petitions.
IN RE WADE.

This case occupied the whole day, and was only part heard.
It was an application tO supersede a commission of bankruptcy
issued against Mr. Shuckford Wade, a gentleman of some
property in Suffolk. The principal feature in this case was the
circumstance that MessrS. Rabett and Mayhew, solicitors, of
Saxmundham, Suffolk, had obtained a controul over the pro-
perty of Mr. Wade, with the ostensible view of extricating him
from his pecuniary einbarrassments. They procured from him
a deed of trust, in which they were appointed trustees of his
estate; they raised money by mortgaging the property so con-
veyed, and finally struck a docket against Mr. Wade, alleging
the execution of the deed as the act of bankruptcy. They were
the solicitors under the commission (which they did not open
till forty-six days after It had been issued), the solicitors for
the petitioning creditor, as well as for the solicitors for the
trustees.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR expressed some apprehension in
the course of the argument as to what would be the result of
superseding the commission in this case. Not only had Messrs.
Rabett and Mayhewplaced themselves in a very awkward situ-
tion, but the mortgagees on the trust estates.
The argument on' behalf of Messrs. Rabett and Mayhew,
and their co-trustees, will proceed to-morrow.

NEW BRIDGE OVER. THE RIVER WYE.-On
Monday last the ceremony of laying the founda-
tion stone of a new bridge, to be erected over
the river Wye, a little above Bigswear, took
place in the presence of a very respectable meet-
ing of trustees, and an assemblage of the neigh-
l)ouring gentry. At two o'clock, the stone, which
had been previously prepared, and suspended in
the slings, was lowered to the bottom, when
J. B. Phillips, Esq. (in the name of Geo. Rook,
Esq., the proprietor of the land), proceeded
with the usual ceremony to lay the stone ; which
having done, he made an appropeiate address,
followed by a short but solemn prayer by the
Rev. G. Ridgut, for the Divine blessing on the
work. After a pause for a few minutes, the
whole concluded with the animating cheers of the
workmen and visitors. This bridge, which is to
consist 'of a single arch of cast iron,l6o feet span,
is to be erected in a new line of road now making,
to form a communication between the towns of
Chepstow and Monmouth. Commencing at
the admired village of St. Aryan's, it takes
the course of the Wye to Redbrook, and, wind-
big along its beautiful banks, presents a continu-
ally varying scene of beauty and grandeur, in-
cluding the picturesque grounds of Piercefield,
the sublime and richly wooded height of Wynd-
cliff, and the celebrated ruin of Tinteru Abbey.

The Commissioners of MARSH'S BANKIMPTCY
had a meeting yesterday, at the Rooms in Basing-
hall-street, when the further dividend was ad-
journed till the 30th instant.
On Monday some surprise was occasioned by
the circumstance of the General Postmen conti-
nuing to ring their bells in the neighbourhood of
Charing-cross some time after 6 o'clock. It ap-
peared that an accident had happened to the mail
cart, which had been kicked to pieces by the
horse, in the Hay-market, on its way from the
western station, by Charing-cross, to the City,
whence it was to have returned to the Cross in
order to
.take in the bags. Owing to this acci-
dent the Western bags were transmitted to the
City by a hackney coach, while the Strand post-
men, who knew nothing of the circumstance, were
waiting the arrivai of the usual cart. It was at
length discovered, but not till after the cus-
tomary hour, that an accident had happened to
the mail cart, and a hackney Coach was accord-
ingly then engaged by the poattuen to forward
their bags to Lombard-street.
