VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor Kiiicur BRUCE.)
IN RE LONGQUESTY'S TRUST.
The question involved in this cause had reference to
the construction of a will. The wile of the testator
made her will in pursuance of permission given to her
by her husband, by which she bequeathed 1,000/., part
of his property, to her brother and certain of her nephews
and nieces. At the foot of the wife's will the husband
wrote a note signifying his approval of it. The hus-
band afterwards made a codicil to his will, in which he
referred to the permission he had given to his wife to
make a will, and to her having bequeathed 1,0001. to her
brother and her nephews and nieces, and then went on
to bequeath the sums of 1,200/., and 3001., and 400/.,
bank annuities, to his executors in trust for his wife.
The question was, whether the codicil bad affected the
right of the parties to take under the wife's will.
Mr. M.A.LINS, on behalf of the petitioner, submitted
that the intention of the testator was to give his wife a
testamentary power over 1,0001., and that she was the
person to fix in what manner the nephews and nieces
were to take.

His HONOUR said that his impression was that the
codicil did net affect th© two wills; but he was quite
willing to reconsider his decision on a future application.
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor WxcnAiu was oc-
cupied during the morning in hearing unopposed
motions.

,HERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
TERRY V. COCKBURN.
This was the only case tried, the others being struck
out. The action was to recover the sum of 1,2001. for
money lent and interest thereon. It was not stated who
the parties were, except that plaintiff was a maiden
lady. A portion of the loan had been made so far back
as 1842. Defendant suffered judgment to go by default.
Some of the jury were of opinion they ought nut to
give interest where there was no promise.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that they were entitled to
give interest not exceeding 5 per cent., although there
was no promise proved.
The jury then gave a verdict for 1,2001, and interest
for two years at 5 per cent.
RICGE V. LOTT&
In this case the defendant's attorney appeared to claim
costs, a notice of countermand of trial not having been
served in due time.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said he could not interfere, as
no writ was before him.

THE WEATHER.
A most unfavourable change has set in here ; this
has been quite a winter's day.

injured by this untoward reverse of the genial
