LAW INTELLIG ENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Mn 3.
vax v. can%
Ilk LonDsnip pronounced his decision in this casesobserv-
in
h4da'd cloneat he
eby no means approved of Mr. Carr's proceeding as
he ; but at the SUM u time he did not think that it
warranted an application for his commitment. lie therefore
thought the.best order he could make was to dismiss the peti-
tion, but without costs.

COURT OF KINWS BENCH, MAT 3.
The Lon-13 Crtrxr JusricE having reedvered from his in.
disposition, resumed his seat on the bench. Mr. Justice Best
is still unable to appear in Court.

TUE KING VOVOOIL

Mr. Co s; stox SERJEANT moved fora rule, calling on Mr.
William Wood, of Leicester, to show cause why a criminal
information should not be filed against him, Ile made this
application on behalf of Or. Henry Payne, a respectable solicitor
marriage. Mrs. Wood's fortune, which was very
of that place, to whom Mr. Wood had written a letter tendina
to instigate him to tight a duel. The parties were related tf
coeanchsidoethraebrlbeyand
settled
on
herself, was under the management
of Mr. Payne, who for some time conducted her affairs to the
aalptigmiretniton tooksatiac
handed over Mrs. Wood's papers to a •proctor, who had since
satisfaction of f tier husband.
consequence of which 111 r. Payne
In September last some
acted as her attorney. On the 11th of March last, Mr. Payne
received a letter from Mr. Wood, charging hint with advising
Mrs. Wood to take measures hostile to his mttrestai and adding,
" I cannot but take this opportunity of thanking you ; I con-
sider you a dirty scoundrel, and I will publicly say so wherever
you are known. If you dislike the epithet, you know where to
find -- William Wood."

The LORD JUSTICE asked what situation in life
the parties filled.
Mr. COMIIOW SERJEANT replied, that Mr. Wood had
married a lady of fortune, and that Mr• Payne was an attor-
ney in good circumstances. Mr. Wood had not only sent this
letter, but had posted Mr. Payne as a coward in the principal
inn, and in the news-room at Leicester. The Cotiwr granted
a rule to show cause.

INDISPOSITION' OF T/IE JUDGES
We regret to state, that for two days during the last week,
not fewer than six of the 12 judges were prevented by indis-
position from attending to their public duties.
Saturday eight were enabled to resume their seats. Mr. Ba-
ron Rickards, Mr. Baron Garrow, Mr. Justice Rieha.dsol, and
Mr. Justice Best, are, however, still confined to thtlr houses;
and we lament to observe, that the Lord Chief Justice of the
Common Pletet, although -anxious to give his attendance in
COurt, is by no means in good health.
