pend, for the present, the appointment of Officers to the depots

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 30.

THE LATE HENRY FAUNTLEROY.
IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACEY, AND CO.
BANKRUPTS.
Mr. HortNE wished to know whether his Lordship would
have the goodness to appoint a day to hear this petition.
His LORDSHIP—Any day you please ; Tuesday week will
be the first seal.
Mr. HonsE—Then the day after the seal, if your Lordship
pleases.
His LORDSHIP—Is there any objection to taking it on the
day before the seal ?
I Ir. HoItNE—I can't speak for the Counsel on the other
side, but, for myself, if your Lordship should order it to come
on then, I shall feel it my duty to be here.
111 r. HEALD—I am on the other side, and I shall feel bound
to attend to any step that will facilitate the business of the
Court; the only difficulty I feel is, whether the Counsel ought
to attend, so as to cause your Lordship to lose one day in the
vacation.
His Lonnsitip—Mr. Heald, you may feel perfectly easy
on that point, because I can assure you the Chancellor has no
vacation except the long vacation. If you will let me know that
both sides will be ready on Monday, I shall be here. I ought
to know whether you will be here or not, because I have come
' here on many days when no Counsel attended, although I don't
complain of that.
Mr. HoRNE—It would be better if your Lordship could fix
it now, because I don't see bow Counsel are to meet in the
vacation for the purpose of agreeing whether they will be here
or not.
Mr. HEALD—I understand Mr. Horne appears for the peti-
tioners, and if he applies to have a petition advanced, 1, on the
part of the respondents, will be ready at any time.
His Loßpsnir—Then let it stand for Monday next.
The petition is the petition of the two executors of Sir Thos.
Priscoe (two stock-brokers), whose stock was fraudulently sold
out by the late Henry Fauntleroy ; and the prayer is, for
leave to prove against the joint estate of 'Messrs. Marsh and Co.
It is, in truth, the proceeding of the Bank of England ; and the
effect of the Court's granting the prayer will be, that the Bank
will replace all the stock which was fraudulently sold out, and
then receive a dividend under the bankruptcy.

We understand, from a quarter on which we
think we can place great reliance, that Lord HOWICK, son of
Earl GREY, will come forward as a candidate, to represent the
County of Northumberland in Parliament, whenever an elec-
tion takes place. It is added, that he will have the support
of many of the leading Whig families.—( Tyne Mercury,
March 290.

THE TURF IN RUSSIA.---A match which has

about 17 millions British.
