We understand that several encampments of troops will take

these encampments was formed last week by about one hun-
dred of the 2td regiment, joined with four Of the horse police, at
between.Castletownroche and Mallow, They
have erected tents, and the quarters of the officers and police are

LAW INT.ELLIGENCE.

COURT, OF CHANCERY; Auo. 14.
The Court conlincd itself this day exclusively to the consi.
deration of 13anktriipt'Petitions.

rkORTHWOOD .1?4" THE MATTER Ors R?CHARDS•

This case originally came before the Court, on a charge that
the Commission had been obtained by concert and collusion
between the parties interested ; the (recision then made, how-
ever, negatived this proposition, and
Mr. MONTAG u stated that he was now instructed, in conse-
quence of affidavits that fresh facts had been discovered, to
make arfapplication that the case be reheard.
Mr. -HART said that this application was evidently a mere
device to rotract the payment of costs, which were due under
his Lordship's former order. This case had been pending for
several years, and the other side being, now pressed on this
point, had recourse to the present subterfuge in order to pre-
vent that decision from being carried into effect, by thus press-
ing for a re-hearing of the cause. At the former period when
the matter was before the Court (and his experience did not
furnish a case whieh, had , been argued half so laboriously),
there were three propositions!stbraitted to the. Court on which
the interposition - of his Lordship was asked : the 'first 'Was
as to the concert and collusion between the attorney, the peti-
tioning creditor and, the 'bankrupt; the second was relative to
fictitious debts, and the third went to stay the'bankrupt's certi-
ficate in' consequence 'of an alleged reservation of his pro-
perty. The , Court, howevei then granted the certificate,
and negatived the charop 'adduced against the bankrupt., - In
his opinion the decision of his Lordship was conclusive, and
therefore he trusted the Court.w(hrld-dismiss the present peti-
tion with costs.

The Loup CHANCELLOR did not apprehend that the ques-
tion of costs was the subjeCt now liefore the Court. When he
cOnsidered the long period Which had elapsed subsequent to the
hearing of this matter, it.was hardly Possible, his Lordship said,
to cone to a just conclusion in it, until he. had reinformed him-
self on all the-facts cimtained id the several affidavits; fie had
a perfect recollection of the case, though not of all the circum-
stances attending it, and he would Venture. to ,say, that if the
order he had made were an improper one, it could not be
attributable 'to inattention to the subject tin his -part, for
.he
had considered' and re-considered the case ; he had perused
the papers from time to time,. indeed:.so very many times,
that were he to enumerate, them, lie firmly believed that
credulity 'herself would not' credit him ' • still, however, it was
far from his intention to infer • that he had come to a correct
decision..

Mr..ITART said, th:•.t. on the latter observation- which had
fallen from his LordshiP,''h6 woad take this opportunity of
Making one comment,. and that seas, that when a case had been
for a considerable time before the Court; , and judgment had
been Of entually Obtained, it was the invariable; the unfortunate
practice of his Lordship in giving thht decision, to drop some
eNpres,4on of a latent doubt, which undid in fact, what with so
much pains he had been endeavouring to complete ; for al-
though Coubsel'were perfectly convinced of the propriety of
the debision -Which the • Court had arrived at, -still they were
compelled, in
.con.segnence ;of the impression made on -the
minds of their clients, to press, for a re-hearing of the case.,. and
thus was this department of the business of the Court laments. •
blv augmented;
Mr. MoSvrAou declared, that from the time the original
Petition Was presented' to the' present moment, the 'deep and
fixed impression on his mind was (he was perfectly aware that
such an impression might be perfectly erroneous) that this was
as. strong a case of cencerted•commissiOn as ever came before
the Court. - . •
The Lam) CIIANCE Lon—Mr. Montagu, there ar ea great
Many cases of concerted.commissions iii which deciding as a
JOge„upon my oath, confining myself alone to the evidence'
before me; and taking into consideration all the doubts arising.
from the cases,? I ant bound to decide in the negative ; whereas
VI were to be asked my opinion on my honour as a man, I
might unhesitatingly say that they justified such a construe-
tion:• This-obserVation I. throw out, not as applying to the par.,
ticular case before me, but as generally applicable. With re-
ference th', the subject of expressions which occasionally' fall
froM merthere may perhaps. be two reasons to account for it :
—The first isethit I veril' believe that I am constitutionally
so formedas to be susceptible of more doubts than anTnian

unwilling to Lad people to believe that I have a confidence,
thereby depriving them 'of- the benefit that may result there-
froM. • This has been my course of proceeding; and if • I haVe
been wrong as a Judge, I am sorry for it ; I tear it is now too
late to alter it. His Lordship said he would take the papers
