CHANCERY COURT.-SATURDAY.

The Lord CHANCELLOR took his seat this morning at
,welve o'clock.

MARE V. MALACHI.

This was an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chan-
cellor, allowing a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill for want of
parties. The bill was filed by the plaintiff to compel the
defendants, who are the original leaseholders of the Wheal
Brothers silver mine, to account for the moneys produced
by the disposal of that mine, so that the plaintiff might, as
a partner,•be at liberty to reject or confirm the sale, and
either pay himself out of the ,purchase money or take in
new shares the same value he held as one of the original
proprietors.

- Mr. JACOB supported the appeal against the Vice-Chan-
cellor's decision.

Mr. WIGRAM supported his Honour's decree.

The Lord CHANCELLOR said his present impression was
undoubtedly in favour of the plaintiff. He should, how-
ever, look over the pleadings before he pronounced his de-
cision.

His Lordship rose at two o'clock.
