LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The House sat at ten o'clock to•dav to hear Scotch
Appeals. The Peers present were the LORD CHANCELLOR,
Lord DOUGLAS, and the Bishop of CHICHESTER.

CATHCART V. CATHCART.

Their Loansures were occupied the greater part of the
morning with the arguments of Dr. Lushington in this
part-heard appeal, the questions in which were of no public
importance, arising chiefly on points of dry Scotch entail.

ROLLS' COURT.
STAFFORD V. STAFFORD.

Mr. PEMBERTON stated that this case came before the
Court upon petition praying the confirmation of the Mas-
ter's report. The petitioner was the widow of the late
General Stafford, who died in India, possessed of great
property. By his will he bequeathed an annuity of
6001. a-year to his widow in satisfaction of certain claims
he had upon her property ; she proved the will, but in
consequence of being unable to vouch to the payments
she had made as administratrix, on account of her papers
being in India, the Master was unable in the suit filed by
the General's daughters for the administration of her estate to
make the widow any allowance. A petition was then presented
for the payment of the annuity, the withholding of which
had placed not only the widow but the daughters of the
General in circumstances of great difficulty. On the
bearing of that petition the Court directed a reference to
the Master, to inquire whether it would he expedient that
the annuity, or any part of it, should he paid. The
Alaster reported that it would be expedient to pay the le-
gacy, and the present petition was presented for the con-
firmation of that report.
Mr. BETHEL', who appeared for the next friend of the
Infant daughter, was not desirous of opposing the present
Petition, but wished the whole circumstances of the case
to be detailed to his Honour. The widow had no other
benefit under the will of the General but the annuity in
question, and the Master had found that she was consi-
det ably indebted to the estate. It was also right that the
Court should know that one of the infants, though a
Ward of Court, had left this country, and gone to reside
With the petitioner at Calais.
His HONOU rE
• ordered the Master's report to be confirmed.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took causes to-
day, but nothing of public importance had taken place up
to the period of our reporter leaving.

LIVES OF CELEBRATED TRAVELLERS.--
Speaking of this new work, a contemporary Journal has
said that "itis as amusing as an Eastern tale. We cor-
dially recommend the reader to procure the volume, which
we should reckon a valuable addition to any library." In
this work may be seen the infinite difficulties which beset
the path of the early explorers of foreign regions, when
every thing was a marvel and a mystery, and before the
frequent intercourse between nations which now subsists
had prepared the way for the solitary traveller.
