THE NEW ORDERS

Mr. JEREMY applied yesterday, under the 21st of the new
orders, in a cause in which an infant was the defendant, for
liberty to the plaintiff to file a note in the Six Clerks'-office, to
the effect that he intended to proceed with the cause as if the
defendant had filed an answer, traversing the case made by the
bill, and the plaintiff had replied to such answer, and served a
subpoena to rejoin.
Ills HONOUR observed this morning that he had stated
yesterday that he did not think the order applied to the case of
an infant, grounding that opinion upon the language of the
order ; since then he had learned that such was the opinion of
Lord Langdale, Vice-Chancellor Wigram, ased another learned
gentleman who had been greatly instrumental in drawing up
the orders, and therefore it must be taken to be the true con-
struction of the order. Such being the case no order must be
made on Mr. Jeremy's application.
The following are the words of the order on which the appli.
cation was made ;—" That after the expiration of the time
allowed to the defendant to plead, answer, or demur (not de-
murring alone) to an original bill, if the defendant shall have
filed no plea, answer, or demurrer, the plaintiff shall be at li-
berty to file a note in the Six Clerks'-office, to the effect that the
plaintiff intended to proceed with his cause as if the defendant
had filed an answer traversing the case made by the
bill, and the plaintiff had replied to such answer, and served
subpcena to rejoin."
The Court then proceeded with the hearing of unopposed
petitions and short causes.

EX PARTE GRANT.
Mr. TOLLED. stated that this case came before the Court,
praying the confirmation of the Master's Report. The Learned
Gentleman was proceeding to state the facts of the case when
he was interrupted by
His HONOUR, who said that he did not see how he could
make the order asked, as the Master had not stated in his re-
port any of the state of facts or documents upon which he had
founded it.

Mr. TOLLER begged to gall the atteution of his Honour to
the Bth of the new orders issued in January last ; that order
stated—" That in the reports made by the Masters of the
Court no part of any state of facts, charge, affidavit, deposition,
examination, or answer, brought or used before them, should
be stated or recited."

His HONOUR. had not seen the new orders till the day they
were signed, and he could not, for the life of him, see how
such an order could have been made, because, if the docu-
ments upon which the Master came to his conclusions were
not to be inserted in his report, the result would be that the
Court must read the whole of them, and that would have the
effect of shutting up the Court altogether. He would not now
make any order, but would consult with the Lord Chancellor
on the subject.

(Before Vice-Chancellor WIG AM. )
SCOTSON V. GA Warr.

This was an application to obtain die—oOmmon injunction to
stay trial.

Mr. RANDALL appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. WOOD
for the defendant.

Mr. RA NDA LL said the plaintiff, up to the month of April
last, carried on business with Mr. Russell, his copartner, as it
warehouseman in London, when, having become embarrassed,
they suspended their payments. At that time they were in-
debted to Messrs. Gawrey and Sedgwick in the sum of
2,8991. I Is. On the 19th of April they called their creditors
together, and on the 20th proposed to pay them a composition
of 15s. in the pound. All the principal creditors, except
Messrs. Gawrey and Russell, accepted this offer, and
agreed to execute a release of their demands. Mr.
Gawrey refused to accept the offered composition.
Prior to the month of April the plaintiff and Mr. Russell sent
several pieces of French merino to the defendant's of the value
of 90/. to be exchanged for other goods ; and on Mr. Gawrey
insisting upon more than 15s. in the pound the plaintiff pro-
posed that he should keep the merino in addition to the 15s.
At a meeting between the plaintiff and the defendant, the de-
fendant proposed that the plaintiff should accept two bills of
exchange, one for 150/. and another for 2501., in addition to the
merino. To this proposal the plaintiff reluctantly consented.
These bills having been accepted by the plaintiff, Messrs.
Gawrey and Russell, then signed the agreement to accept the
composition of 15s. in the pound. The bill stated that
the other creditors were ignorant of the whole transac-
tion. The plaintiff having been advised that it was an
attempt to defraud the other creditors, treated the se-
curities as void at law, and an action was brought by
Messrs. Gawrey and Russell to recover the amount. The
object of the present application was to stay the trial.
The Learned Counsel put in an affidavit made by the solicitor
of the plaintiff, stating that the latter had quitted London for
Ireland, on the 23d of November, as the agent of Messrs.
Leith, M'Dougal, and Co., and that he would not be able to
return in less than a fortnight.
Mr. Woon opposed the application, on two grounds ; first,
that it was made upon the eve of trial ; and, secondly, that
the plaintiff himself ought to have made an affidavit, before
leaving London.
His HONOUR, had not given his decision, when we went
to press.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
THE QUEEN V. IVNAMARA AND OTHERS-CONSPIRACY TO

CARRY THE ELECTION OF BRIDGEMASTER.

This trial (which occupied the Court the wholeof yesterday)
was still proceeding when we went to press, and is likely to
take up the time of the Court the whole of the day. We shall
give a full report of it in our Second Edition.

The murrain has again made its appearance in
several places in the neighbourhood. On one farm, not
far off, cats stealing milk were attacked.—Dumfries Times

About ten o'clock on Tuesday night a person
of gentlemanly address, and enveloped in a large Mack-
intosh, stalked into the Sugarloaf Tavern, No. 31,
Bell-yard, Temple-bar, and, addressing Mr. Maton,
the landlord, requested that he might be accommo-
dated with a bed for the night. Mr. Maton assented,
and having ascertained that one of the bed-rooms upon
the second floor back was disengaged, desired the servant
to show the gentleman to it. He (the gentleman), how-
ever, instantly, but politely, objected to a back room, and
said that he cared not if it were in an attic, provided Mr.
Maton could accommodate him with a front room, as he was
so fearful of fire, having not long since, when sleeping in a
back room, narrowly escaped with his life from its ravages.
Anxious to oblige, Mr. Maton at length arranged for him
to sleep in one of the front rooms on the second floor,where
he was left for the night. About 11 o clock, however,
Mrs. Maton and the barmaid, who happened to be alone in
the bar, were somewhat surprised at the reappearance
of their new lodger, who, with the greatest politeness,
said he hoped they would not close for a few minutes, as
he had forgotten to make a call in the neighbourhood.
He was told that they should not do so until twelve o'clock.
He assured them he should be absent only a few minutes,
but in order to secure his bed he would then pay for it.
The stranger, of course never returned, for, with the
assistance of an accomplice, he had rendered the bed-
room a very unfit place for rest. It was stripped of
every thing portable, sheets, blankets, counterpane,
looking-glass, a dressing-case—all had disappeared, hav-
ing passed from the winow, as was supposed, into some
adjoining house.
GOLDEN INDIA.—Such had been the accumu-
lation of the precious metals and stones in India,
where the mines are indigenous, that it is generally
estimated that Nadir Shah, in 1740, carried away
not less than 400,000,0001. or 500,000,0001. ster-
ling ! In Jahanqueir's autobiography he relates that
a golden platform around his throne weighed forty
tons ; and that his throne and diadem were worth
4,000,0001.! When he married his minister's daughter,
he presented her with as many lacs as amounted to
7,000,000/, and with a necklace of forty beads, each bead
costing him 2,0001. The province of Beran on one
occasion, furnished about 4,000,0001, of gold ; and the
same Sovereign spent besides nearly 2,000,0001. on the
tomb of his father Akbar, which formed one of the won-
dersof golden India.
