LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 3.
WELLESLEY tr. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.

Mr. TRESLOVE applied to the Court to have this motion put
into the paper of :Saturday, and to he peremptorily heard on
that day. The plaintiffhad obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus
to obtain possession of the persons of his children, the issue of
the marriage of the celebrated heiress the late Mrs. Tilney
Long Wellesley Pole, who were wards of the Court. The writ
was returnable into the King's Bench on Monday. The object
of this motion was to restrain the return and to prevent any pro.
ceedings upon it.
The Loan CuANcEt.r.ou directed it to be heard the first
thing on Saturday morning.,

WELMAN V. BOWRING.
The argument against the appeal in this case, and in sup-
port of the Vice Chancellor's decree, and to dissolve the in-
junction, was heard at length.
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the hearing of the
reply till the second day of the term ; because the state of the
facts differed essentially from that which appeared in the plead-
ings, and he wanted some further assistance from the opinions
of the Counsel upon a point, which had not been considered,
with respect to the possibility of creating such an estate as that
contrived by the deed of marriage-settlement, according to the
customs of the manor.

The remainder of the sittings were taken up with bank-
ruptcy matters of no general interest.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 3.
His HONOtTit heard pleas of demurrers, none of which pos.
sessed antgeneral interest.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 3.
The LORD CnIEF JUSTICE to-day resumed his sittings
at Nisi Prius, and proceeded with the trial of Common .Jury
causes.

PRINCE AND ANOTHEIt V. LEWIS.

This was an action by the lessees of Covent-garden Market,
who hold the market under the Duke of Bedford, at a rent of
2,500/. a-year, against the defendant, to recover tolls to which
it was alleged that he was liable, and which it was considered
that he had evaded.

It apieTreif that the defendant was a potato-salesman, re-
siding in James-street, Covent-garden, and that he occasionally
suffered hix waggon to stand at his door for the purpose of
selling marketable commodities on that place : but on the
cross-examination of Mr. Perry, the toll-collector, it was
proved that the defendant's premises were not exactly within
the verge of .the market, and that part* of the intenor of the
market were appropriated to china and earthenware stalls and
shops, which might occupy a third of the space devoted to the
public. _

The Lonn CntEr JUSTICE, on this evidence, stopped the
case, and declared his opinion that the lessee, before he
claimed tolls for goods sold out of the verge of the market,
ought to show that he had appropriated the whole market to
the purposes for which it was designed; and as it appeared
that the plaintiff had not done so, he should direct a nonsuit,
giving leave to move, in case his opinion should be thought
open to correction.
The plaintiff was accordingly nonsulted.
The causes in this day's paper were mostly undefended, or of
very trivial nature, and many records were withdrawn, so that
at half-past two the whole of the paper was disposed of, with
the exception of one cause which had been postponed to this
day for the accommodation of professional witnesses. The
LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE took occasion to say, that he wished
Attornies, when causes were settled, would send word to the
office, in order that the real state of business might be known ;
but he had no means of obliging them to do so. At half-past
two the Court rose.

We do not acquiesce in the statements which have appeared
in some of the papers respecting the apparent illness of the
Lord Chief Justice. He is certainly thinner than before the
vacation ' • but in mind, he never was more vigorous and actives
and we hear from good authority, that his general health is il3l.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 3.
_ _ ASSIGNEES OF HOWARD AND GIBBS v. JACKSON.

f,lr. H tut. read the declaration, which set forth that this was
an action brought by the assignees of " Howard and Gibbs
against Thomas Jackson," for the payment of two promisory
notes, value between 2,0001. and 3,0001., and endorsed to the
bankrupts.
Mr. Serjeant WILDE, in stating the case to the Jury, ex-
plained the nature of thebusiness of money agency which had
been so long carried on by Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, and
which had already, from the repetition of legal proceedings,
acquired so much public notoriety. The defendant was now
a man of considerable property, retired from business,
but who formerly was extensively engaged as a horse-
dealer. At that time he became possessed of certain property
in annuities, which led to his connexion with the firm of the
bankrupts, and accounts of a very complicated nature appeared
to have been Itypt open between the parties, the particulars of
which would be rendered more intelligible from the evidence
the Jury would collect from the statement of the accounts from
the bankrupts' books. The defendant became possessed of
some annuities on property of which Mr. Howard had become
the purchaser, and a bond of 3,9001., and interest thereupon,
then passed in the course of the account. Bills were after-
wards drawn by Jackson upon-Howard and Gibbs, in satisfac-
tion of this bond; but the -general result of the accounts was a
balance of 2,4701. due by Mr. Jackson to the estate, subject
only to a trifling deduction for a balance of one account with
the bankrupts. The several transactions that had taken place
between the parties were very obscure, without the information
which the books alone could furnish : and Mr. Serjeant Wilde
offered to refer the calculation to some person out of Court,
for the purpose of having the simple facts reduced to a
clearer form,

Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the defendant, consented to this
proposition, and the matter was referred accordingly.
The Court then rose, )144 business on the paper being.finished.
