LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANGERY, Nov. 16.

MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.
SIMS V. BRIDGE.

Mr. 810 LICITOR-GENERAL said, his Lordship would re-,
member, that -in this case certain pecuniary transactions relative
to the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings had been brought
before the Court. His Lordship had desired the parties them-
selves, by their Counsel, to prepare such minutes of an order
as they should mutually agree upon. It had been their object
so to do, but he understood that pending the endeavours to that
effect, proceedings had been going on, or were threatened to
be commenced in other Courts. This was a matter which it
was found necessary to call to his Lordship's attention.
The LORD CHANCELLOR desired the Solicitor-General to
mention the subject again to-morrow.

DEVAYNES v. NOBLE.

Mr. HORN, Mr. HEALD, and Mr. SIIADWELL, were
severally heard. Their arguments occupied the whole morning.
Mr. Shadwell had not concluded when the Court rose, and
was desired to proceed further on Friday.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. W.
THE KING v. THE INHABITANTS OF DEVONSHIRE.

This was an indictment against the county of Devon, alleging
that a public bridge for carriages over the river Dart was out
of repair, incommodious, and narrow, and that the inhabitants
of the county were bound to repair and widen it. The Jury,
by a special verdict, found that the bridge was not out of re-
pair, but was so narrow, that passengers could not cross it in
carriages without danger of their lives. The question raised
on this finding was, whether the county are bound to widen a
bridge in a public carriage-road, so as to make it safe for the
passage of carriages.
Mr. P. WILLIAMS now argued, that on the same principles
which cast on the county the obligation of repairing any
bridge adopted by the public, they were, in like manner,
bound to render it in all respects fit for the purposes to which
it was applied.
The COURT, however, without hearing Mr. TANCRED,
who was to have argued on the other side, were clearly of opi-
nion that the public adopted every bridge when built, in its
original dimensions, and that the county could only berequired
to maintain it in such condition. They therefore gavejudg-
ment for the defendants.
