This being the first day of Easter Term, the Lord
Chancellor took appeal [notions. According to previous
arrangement, his Lordship did not give any formal
breakfast to the judges, masters in Chancery, and
Queen's counsel, and the whole ceremonies u.ual on
the first day of Term were dispensed with.

MANN V. STEPHENS.
This case came before his Lordship upon an appeal
from the deci,,ion of the Vice-Chancellor of England,
ordering the committal of the defendant for the breach
of an injunetion granted in July last, by which he was
restrained from erecting any brewery or building upon
certain lends adjoining Windmill-hill, Gravesend, with
the exception of one private and ornamental house on a
portion of land known as The Dell. The appeal motion
also asked for the dissolution of the injuiteti.m.
The case occupied his Lordship the %hole morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

LATOUR V. HOLCOMBE.

Mr. PALMER, oh the part of the assignees of the
plaintiff, moved for an order to dismiss the bill with
costs. It apparel th4t the plaintiff (Colonel Latour)
became bankrupt, and his estate was sold by his as-
signees to the defendant. The rlaintiff filed n bill, to
which the d,,lndant demurred, which was dismissed,
and the plaintiff had beau in prison since for the costs of
that suit.

Mr. KINDEBSLET (who, with Mr. Hilderton, appeared
for the plaintiff) stated that his client had been very
badly treated by his assignees, and that the Vice-
Chawellor, before whom the former cause was heard,
had expres-sed a Very strong opinion in favour of the
plaintiff's case, supposing the allegations in his bill were
substantiated. Ilia cli,nt had every hope, in the course
of a month or six wt eks; of being able to raise the funds
requisite to di: charge the costs tier which he was detained.
iiis LORDSHIP (at the conclusion of the arguments)
said that the plaintiff was no doubt entitled to the
protection ~t the Court on a motion for the dismissal of
a bill with cots. At the same tun-. nothing should be
done to the der gation of the rights of the defendants,
who had performed their duty in reference to the pro-
ceedings before the Court. Before the plaintiff became
entitled to the delay which he sought for he should make
out a reasonable cause for the interference of the Court
on his behalf. He did not think that such a case had
been made in the present instance, and be would grant
the injunction.

SAUNDERSON V. THE COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON

RAILWAY COMPANY.
The was a motion fur an injunction to restrain the
defendants from opening their line, under the following
circumstances:—The railway passed through a portion
of the plaintiff's property, and by a contract of the 2.1 of
March, 1846, the defendants agreed to afford a suitable
accommodation for the plaintiffs cattle. This they pro-
posed to do by a tunnel under the railway, with
which the plaintiff was dissatisfied, and insisted
upon their erecting a bridge or giving him a compensa-
tione
of 260/. The defendants refused to accede to his
demand, but offered him 1004 and the plaintiff instituted
the proceedings.
It was contended, on the part of the defendants, that

layed till the completion of the line.
Mr. Ktndersley and another Learned Gentleman ap-
peared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Turner and Mr.
Matins for the defendants.

The arguments in this case, which were commenced
before the nolizlays, were resumed end concluded to-day.

direction of the Court, as to the manner in which the
contract should be specifically performed.

THE QUEEN V. ADAMS.

Mr. LIISTI moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring
up the bodies of two elderly females. who had be: n con-
fined in \V bitecross-street Primal, and also applied for
their discharge, as they had been in prison since 1844.
They had pleaded guilty to an ilactment, and he pro-
secutor had refused to pray the judgment of the Court
upon them, and the consequence was that they had been
detained in custody ever since, and had been maintained
at a considerable expense to the justices.
Mr. PEACOCK, on behalf of t►ie prosecutor, said that
the. defendants were committed on a former occasion for
contempt of court, and they had since repeated the libel.
Lord DENMAN, after making some inquiries, said they
had not Lan committed for contempt, but merely on the
indictment for a libel.

Mr. P4Acocx applied to t! e Court for time to allow
the prosecutor t.. put in some affidavits before the parties
were brought up for judgment.
Lord DENmits---We cannot keep them in prison to
please your client. If they repeat the libel you can hare
them punished again, but as thy have been so long con-
fined I think that they had better be brought up.
Mr. Ltisu said that the parties were present.
Lord DENMAN—Then let them come forward.
Miss Frances Adams and Miss Mary Anne Susannah
Adams were then brought forward.
Lord DENMAN—You are now brought np for judg-
ment tor a must serious offence, on which you have al-
lowed judgment to go by de'ault. You have been in
custody for a very big Court thinks that
punishment enough. Ihe judgment Of the Court is that
you each pay a fine of one shilling to the Queen, and
enter into your own recogniz 'aces in WU each to be of
good behaviour for the next two years.
The Remewbrancer then proceeded to read the form
of recognizance, and said—You and each of you owe
to our sovereign lady the Queen the sum of 1001.
Miss Mary Anne—We owe 1001.? How 'do WO OW6
the (Item 101? We to wet cm be 311414. _

The COURT—You must pay her a fine of a shilling.
Miss Frances Adams—Pay her a shilling!—no, nor a
penny.
Lord DENMAN—You must not repeat; the offence; that
is all you bind yourselves to.
The two ladies at once—We have never misbehaved
ourstive s—the

Lord DENMAN—You must not use such language.
The Remeintnancer (showing the form of recogni-
zance)—Read this.

Mi;a Mary Anne Adams—We won's leave the Court,
we are detyrt;:ined to have justice.
Lord DENsuN—There is la, harm intended to you,
they are merely words. You only promise that you %sill
not repeat the offence.

111 i,; Fran. Adams—Oh, won't we though ? Yes

The R tnemoiaticvr having read the form of rec.g
nizance, an attempt was made to remove the ladies.
frieir removal was, however, a m4tter of much difficulty,
for one fastened on the Solicitor-General, while the
other firmly grasped the Attorney General. The usher
of the Court attempted to remove them, but without
success for some time, until the assistaice of the police
called in, when the ladies were taken out amidst
shout:, of laughter, in which the Bench joined.

This was an action to recover the bum of 121. 103. on
a bill of exchange.

witness, who proved that he went to Messrs. Morden
and Co., in Goswell-street, where he saw a person H ho
admitted that his name was Marsh, and that the bill
web accepted by him.

the defendant is a gentleman residoz in Caniden-gru‘e.
Wesibourne-green. The action was brought to recover
the sum of 15/. for goods is,Ad and delivered.
From the evidence on the part of the plaintiff it
was shown that the defendant ordered a chimney glass,
but on its being taken home deteudaut ca mplained that
there were imperfections hi the frame, and said he could
not receive it unless it was repaired. This was done,
but when it was taken back again the defendant re-
fused to take it.

Mr. FISH, on behalf of the defendant, contended tha
this was no delivery, ard, therefore, that the present
action could not be maintained.

go to a jury.

was retuned by the cielrndant from the first, and that,
although improved ghee it was tendered, it was still
imperfect.

a verdict tor the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
Henry &nit ke, a cab-driver, was charged before Mr.
Seeker with being concerned with two other men (not
in custody) in breaking into the premises of Mess, s.
Clarke tnd Whitby, of the Dover-rizd, and stealing
plate and articles of bilk amounting to upwards of 1501
It appeared that a policeman of the M divis on, while
on duty that morning in the Dover-road, was informed
by a ti,ranger that some goods were teen to be brought
up through an iron grating by two suspicious looking
men. He followed these men, and saw them approach
a cab and di. posis a bundle in it, after which the vehicle
was driven forwards towards lane, and the two
men escaued. The policem-tn went in pur-
suit of the cab, wnieh was driven by the
prison, r, and succeeded in copping it, and
inside it he found several articles of piste, besides up-
wards of 1001. worth of silk articles of various descrip-
tions. Wt.-n iniormation was subsequently given of the
circumstances at the house of the above firm, it was dis-
covered that an entry had been effected into the pre-
mises by lilting up an iron-grating, which led into a
cellar underneath the warehouse, from which articles of
silk, to the value of upwards of 1501., had been packed
up ready for removal. The quantity of silk di.c.,vered
in the cab was worth upwards of 1001., but the other
portion was lett behind, it being supposed the thieves
were disturbed.

The prisoner said that he was hired by two men off
the stand in Aldersgate-street, to take them to Kent-
street, where he was to wait for them, and they returned
with a bundle, and, placing it in the cab, desired him to
drive to Bermondsey Church, and that they would meet
him there. lie added, that he had nothing to do with
the robbery of which he was ignorant until stopped by
the policeman.
Mr. bECKER remanded the prisoner for a week, until
the other men were taken into en4tnely.
