LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
FRANKLAND FELLOWSHIP, CAMBRIDGE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment upon the ques-
tion in this matter, which was argued some time since be-
fore him at Westminster. A Fellowship of Catherine
Hall, Cambridge, was founded by Mr. Frankland, towards
the endowment of which he left 20/. a year, and directed
the election of the Fellow to be from persons who had been
educated at Coventry Free-school, of which the founder
had been the master, the candidates being to be recom.
mended by the Mayor and Aldermen of Coventry. A va-
cancy occurred ; the Rev. Mr. Inge was the only candi-
date from Coventry, but there were four or five others
from vatious other parts. Mr. Inge was a Bachelor of
Ai ts, and had previously passed a similar examination to
that required by the Hall of those who were to
be admitted into their association. He conceived,
therefore, that he had a right to call upon the 11411
to elect him in preference to any other candidate, and
without his submitting to an examination before the
Master, &c. The Master, &c., however, considered it to
be their duty to elect no one without first examining hint;
and being satisfied of that individual's learning and good
morals. They were o Ming to examine Mr. Inge in private,
not to put him on a footing with the other general can-
didates, as a competitor with them, and to elect him, not
if he excelled the others, but provided be did not sbew
himself minus deficiens in the requisite le truing, &c. On
Mr. Inge's refusal to submit to an examination the public
examination of the other candidates in attendance took
place, and one of them was of course elected. Mr. Inge
appealed to the Chancellor, as representing the Crown,
in which the visitatorial and conttoling power were vested,
praying that his Lordship would declare the election which
had taken place to be void, and order the Hall to elect the
appellant. His Lordship considered the question a most
important one as regarded all collegiate bodies. Most of
the collegiate bodies had private or particular fellowships
added to their own general fellowships by benevolent
persons. All such persons were to be presumed to be
acquainted with the terms on which fellows or members
could be received into the respective bodies, and it was
not fur any one afterwards to say that the esta-
blished regulations of the bodies were not to be at-
tended to. After the best consideration his Lordship
had been able to give the subject, he had come to
the opinion that the Master, Warden, and Fellows, bad
acted properly in refusing to elect Mr. loge alter he had
objected to submit to an examination. At the same time
Mr. Inge had not acted wrong in standing upon what he
considered his legal right ; he had mistaken his legal
right ; he bad a right to have the question tried, and he
should now have the opportunity of submitting himself
if he thought proper to an examination. His Lordship
approved of the mode of examination which bad been
offered to Mr. Inge.; in his judgment a candidate from
Coventry for the Frankland Fellowship ought to have the
preference over general candidates, provided he proved him-
self to be at all competent. There was no imputation what-
ever in the present case on Mr. Inge's learning or morals,
and his Lordship concluded by ordering the Hall to
examine Mr. loge privately, and if they found him
not minus deficiens to elect him. It would not under
such circumstances be considered that the Hall could con-
vert a private into a general fellowship; and that if ever
the Master, &c. were supposed to act vexatiously in the
rejection of a Coventry candidate, on the ground of al-
leged insufficiency in the acquirements, &c. of the candi•
date, their conduct would be subject to consideration by
the Chancellor.

LUCY V. HILL.
This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of
the Rolls, directing an issue to be tried upon the question,
whether certain buildings had been erected by the de-
fendant in conformity with (and not going beyond)
the license granted by the plaintiff. A written
license was not granted in the first instance; an agree-
ment was entered into, permitting the erection of the
buildings; part of the buildings were erected with the
undoubted sanction of the party now complaining. A
question arose upon the necessity of having the license in
writing, and in the result the plaintiff withdrew his
license or sanction to erect the buildings altogether; and
the principal question was, whether that withdrawal was
or was not too late. The Court saw enough in the plead-
ings to call upon it to confirm the order directing fur-
ther inquiry; at the same time his Lordship thought that
even if the issue were found in favour of the party com-
plaining, it would not help him much.—Order of the
Court below confirmed.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English Grain last week were better than for
some'weeks previous, and of Foreign the quantities continue
large. This morning the fresh supplies of all descriptions of
Corn are only moderate. There are contradictory reports about
the state of the crops, the speculators being greatly inte-
rested in representing them as blighted and mildewed ;
but this morning being fine and dry, the trade has
no briskness, and it is only in the finest parcels of Wheat,
upon which Is. per quarter advance has been obtained.—
Barley, Beans, and Pease remain as last reported. There is a fair
sale for good heavy Oats, but other kinds are dull at former
prices. There is no improvement in the Flour trade.
