A Dutch Jew recently died at Amsterdam, who
bequeathed funds for arn*gl and equipping ak 74 gun-ships.
At his death there were found in his house forty-four tubs filled
with coin bearing the effigy of all the Sovereigns in the world.
Eight days were occupied in counting these pieces. This capi-
talist, who was in his 96th year, had visited:all Europe, Africa,
and America, and a part of Asia.--( New-York Gazette,

LAW 'INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUG. 16.

PASTE 3INNS IN RH CROWTNEII.
Mr. KNIGHT, irk this case,
.(which stood over from Satur-
day that the commission and proceedings might be produced
to ascertain. whether any alteration had_ been made therein)
stated that .it now appeared that. the suspicions against Mr.
Lester were, in this instance, unfounded ; the commission had
not been;altered. 'He contended,' however, _ that there was
ample evidence of gross fraud and concert, and that the com-
mission was, in fact, that of the bankrupt, net ot• Mr. Parnell,
the petitioning creditor.

The LORD CHANCE L LOR observed, that he saw nothing in
the transaction to impeach the moral conduct. of Mr. Parnell.
He believed he had been duped in the affair. His Lordship
considered the commission to be the bankrupts's ; but there
were instaheesin which, though the comniisslon was concerted
by the, bankrupt, it might be to a certain extent the peti-
tioning creditor s. His Lordship would look into the affidavits
to determine at whose expence the commission should be
superseded.

BS PARTE CRANE V. IN tiops.
This was the case in which an alteration had been made in
the commission by. 3lr. Lester, the solicitor under the coin.
mission.

•
Mr. ROSE addressed the Court on behalf of the assignees,
who bad no cognizance; of the transaction.-
The LORD CHANCELLOR..—The assignees are not crimi-
nally answerable, but they are answerable in a civil point of
view. The solicitor is-their agent ; and if he makes an altera-
tion, they must be chilly responsible. The matter I take to
stand thus :::—The commission was first in the name of Dod.
after the comtnissiott was opened, appliCation had been made
to the Courtto allow the name to be altered to Dods, I must
have refused-it, and directed a new commission. .1 Solicitor,
therefore, cannot be allowed to do what the Court has not the
powerlo do ;it would be dangerous to allow it. It' it could
be done it ore Case, Where there was little mischief; a prece-
dent would be established, and the Court would be called upon
from day to day, to decide whether a solicitor was justifiable or
not in altering a commission. I cannot suffer this commission
to stand. -

Mr. Awl. was not disposed to go into the abuses to be
found in this case, where it was apparent that Lester, and a
man named -Steeveps, a go-between, had-.concerted the com-
mission. The assignees, however, had; been dilatory, and the
commission should be superseded at their- expenee.- lie hoped
'Mr. Crane, the petitioner, would be allowed to take out a new
commission.-- _

Mr. Rost-contended that it was the practice to allow the
assignees to have the new commission, where no concert was
brought home to them. - Mr. Crane's debt and his conduct were
objected to. •

-Mr. HAR•r offered another. creditor, Mr. Brown, whose claim
Was unexceptionable.
' The Loup CHANcr.Loit—lf Mr. Brown will make an
affidavit of his debt, and take a commission, he shall have it.
Assignees ought to be cautious with regard to the persons they
intrust with a commission.

Mr. Host-applied for the costs of the assignees.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—They must present a petition for
that purpose.- Do not let a commission be taken out by the
person who had the last, until I con coMmunicate with the
Attorney-General 'upon, the subject. Before I can order the
costs to the assignees, the new assignees Must tell the what they.
think of the case; they will not do their -duty unless they in-
vestigate what his been done. His Lordship finally ordered
the costs to be paid by Lester and the petitioning, creditor, the
latter to recover of the former; and he directed the proceedings
to be impounded.
Mr. HART observed, that he believed the assignees to be
&nest and honourable men ; but they would receive a lesson
as to the impropriety of trusting in persons of whom they knew
nothing. There never was a case where grosser treachery was
Manifest, more especially in the conduct of Steevens,- an ac-
countant, employed to examine thy: bankrupt's books.
EX PARTE OIIIMSTEAD, IN RE HOWARD AND GIBBS.

FEES TO COUNSEL.
Mr. HAR.'r stated, that this was a petition to ascertain whe-
ther a bankrupt's estate was to be spent in fees to Counsel.
Mr. HORNE—Then I lime not read my brief.
Mr. HART-stated, ihat the simple question to be tried by an
issue directed from this Court in the present case was, whether
a pecuniary transaction apparent in the books of the bankrupts,
was usurious or not. Two Counsel, he conceived, were suffi-
cient • but the Master had allowed the following expences :
To His Majest,,,'s Attorney-General, for brief, 50/. ; fees, 96/. ;
to Mr: Sergeant Pell, for brief, 501.; fees, 69/. ; to Mr. &r.
geant Wilde, for brief, 501.; fees, 44/. ; to Mr. Treslove, for
brief, 501. ;, fees, 321. The expences had'been'Swelled to 6871,
-which the prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas had re-
duced to 5211. • The petitioners had, by these exorbitant ex-
pences, been reduced to absolute ruin, and was now actually in
prison, solely, on account of being security for the bankrupts in
certain pecuniary transactions.
Mr. 141 oNTAGIT spoke on the same side.
Mr. HonwE observed, that these costs had been the subject
of agreement: it had been agreed that the costs of the trial
should be decided by Master Cox, who applied, at the instance
of the other party, to the prothonotary, to learn, what it was
customary to allow in courts of Law ; and it was upon his re-
port that Master Cox had assessed the costs, which the other
party had paid. No complaint ought to be made respecting
their employing four counsel, as the other party had employed
five.

Mr. TRESLOVE remarked, that Mr. Hart spoke of some
money paid for briefs and fees to Counsel, but not a syllable of
this appeared in the affidavits. He thought it extremely. strange
That Mr. Hart should refer to what he could only have known
by private intelligence. Neither was the statement accurate :
it was not the fact that 501. was charged four times for briefs.
In the trial. of the issue the jury found a verdict against the
petitioner., _

Mr. HART, in reply, stated that the question Was, whether
Mr. Grinstead was to be saddled with the cost of four Counsel.
If his Lordship thought so, Mr. Grimstead must pay it. ,One
of the affidavits stated that_Master Cox had been of opinion that
two Counsel were enough.
The Loan CLIANCELLOR.—The order of the Court was,
that Mr. Grimstead should be allowed to try an issue over again
on payment of costs, to be settled by Mr. Cox. In matters of
Bankruptcy, equitable and legal proceedings are often mixed,
so that costs of both Courts are blended, and the Master is
obliged to get the best guide he can for their adjustment. Mr.
Cox therefore did right in getting the assistance of the Protho-
notary of the Common Pleas Court, The qtiegtion arising under
this petition is, whether it was right to have four Counsel. It
is impossible for me to spythat the Master should not have
taxed these costs, as is it had been an action, not an issue. I
cannot say that in no case four Counsel are necessary. If Mr.
Cox had: not consulted the Prothonotory, I should think he had
done wrong. I will see Mr. Cox, and desire him to ask the
Prothonotofy (if he has not dor e so already), whether he thought
it fit that the petitioUer shotild be charged with four Counsel.
The Prothonotory may' have thought that if his Majesty's At-
torney General might not have been able to attend, three other
Counsel were therefore necessary; but it did not eoilow that the
other party was to 'pay for them..
The sittings, which Were to terminate to-morrow, are now
expected to last for some days longer.
