.Mr. GER&HTY, the appellant, who is an Irish barrister,
argued his case in person on Tuesday last, contending, first,
that the alleged mortgagee had not made out a good title,
either in law or equity, to have redemption of the land; se-
condly, that there was no ground to award costs against
him; and lastly, that the decree ought not to have been for
possession of the land, because the term of the original leave
had, in fact, expired.
The arguments occupied their Lordships the whole day.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
WAGON V. BRIDGES, &c.
This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the de-
fendants from pulling down certain houses in Westminster,
under the power of an Act entitled, " The Westminster Im-
provement Act." It appeared that the defendants were tha
commissioners under this Act, and the plaintiff was the per-
son who originated the speculation for which that Act had
been obtained, and the object of which was to make a street
from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace, which
would pass through property which he held under lease from
the Farmers' Charity and from the dean and chapter of
Westminster. The proposed project of the plaintiff was ap-
proved of by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who
agreed to give 50,0001. towards its prosecution. In February,
1845, the plaintiff assigned his interest in this scheme to two
parties named Mason and Taylor, and an agreement was
entered into as to the terms. A Bill was subsequently in-
troduced into Parliament, which received the Royal Assent,
to carry out the proposed improvement; but the agreement
not having been duly executed by Mason and Taylor, the
plaintiff sought by the present motion to prevent the exe-
cution of the work until a satisfactory arrangement should
be made.

➢lr. KINDERSLEY opened the case for the plaintiff to-day.

VICE-CHANCERY.--THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCALLOR or• ENGLAND.)
His HONOUR took motions to-day, but no case of interest,
except to the parties concerned, came before the Court during
the morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN and a
full Court. )
TIM QUEEN U. SAUNDERS.

Mr. PAIHILICY moved for a rule to show cause why a
criminal information should not be filed against Mr. Saunders,
a magistrate in the county of Carmarthen, for committing
WIT'. Griffiths to gaol, and refusing to take bail, under the
following circumstances :
On the 2d of December last, the applicant and his son
were walking along a tram road, orpublic way, near Lla•
nethly, towards the sea-coast, where there was a quantity of
wild fowl. It was then eleven at night. A person came up
to them on horseback, and on seeing them collared Wm.
Griffiths, who had a gun upon his shoulder, and
raised bis whip as it to strike him. Wm.
Griffiths raised his gun as if to strike him,
and the person let go of his collar, saying
I know you, and then rode off. On the Friday following, a
policeman came to the house of the applicant at eight
o'clock in the evening, and took them into custody. They
were conveyed to the house of a person named M'Kennyon,
and then instead of being taken before the petty sessions of
Llanethly, which were held on the following day, he was con-
veyed nearly twenty miles across the country, to Caermar-
then, and taken before Mr. Saunders. M‘liennyon deposed
that he found the plaintiffs walking on the property of the
tramroad and canal company, and, as he believed, with the
intention of killing game. He admitted that there was no
game within two miles of the place where he saw them,
but he stated that a hare skin was found in their house.
That skin was proved to have been left there by a friend for
the purpose of being sold. Mr. Saunders was much
out of temper, and committed the elder prisoner for trial.
stating that he should not take bail. Applications were sub-
sequently made to Mr. Saunders to admit the applicant to
bail, but he refused. The trial took place on the Bth of Ja.
unary at the Carmarthen Quarter Sessions, and a verdict of
acquittal was given, and the applicant had been previously
convicted of felony and transported, but was pardoned after
four years in the hulks, and since that time had been known
as a respectable men, so that the refusal to take bail could
not be upon that ground.—Application granted.
JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.
Mr. LUSH stated that there were two prisoners in Court,
brought up by writ of habeas corpus. They had been sen-
tenced to transportation in Jersey, and the question arose as
to the jurisdiction of the Court to award that sentence. He
would not press the application, as he understood that the
Attorney-General was not prepared.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that no notice had been
given of the application. The usual course was, to give
notice of such application, and furnish the Crown with a copy
of the sentence, &c., or else merely to move for a rule nisi.
It was merely by accident that he found that such an appli-
cation was about to be made.
Mr. Lust' suggested that the proceedings should be de.
ferred to any other day that the Court might name.
Lord DENMAN said that on Monday the Court would hear
the application. There would be no necessity to bring up
the prisoners again.

SHERIFFS' COURTTH
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff B(URC I S DAY.)
IELL.)
FRASER V. SIRED.
This was an action to recover the sum of 171. 3s. Bd.
on a guarantee. The defendant suffered judgment to go
by default.
Mr. CHARNOCK, who appeared for the plaintiff, said
that he would take the case as undefended.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said, that perhaps the defendant
might appear after the case was over.
Mr. CHARNOCR said he would run the risk. lie then
stated that the defendant was anxious to raise a sum of
1,300/. on an estate, and he applied to the plaintiff for
the amount, giving him a guarantee that the plaintiff
should be indemnified against any expenses in investi-
gating the title, &c., if it should be found defective,
or
the negotiation should go off in consequence of the
neglect or default of the defendant.
Mr. Burton, who had acted as the attorney on both
sides, proved that the negotiation went off in conse•
quence of the defendant's neglect; the law expenses
amounted to 141. 13s. Bd., and the surveyor's charges
to 6/. 10s., which had not been paid.
Mr. CHARNoci said the plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover it, as he was liable to the surveyor.
The jury gave a verdict for 17/. 3s. Bd.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat ta-day in the New Chamber to hear ap-
peals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord
Brougham, the Earl of Clancarty, and Lord Waldegrare.
GERAHTT V. MALONE AND OTHERS.
The argument on this part-heard appeal were resumed to-
day. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal
from a decree of Sir Edward Sugden's, when Lord Chancel-
lor of Ireland. The following are the facts of the case, out of
which the appeal arises :
The respondents had filed a bill in the Court of Chancery
in Ireland, praying to be'declared entitled to redeem certain
lands, and to hold them under a lease of December, 1823, on
payment of what should be found to be due to the present
appellant, upon accounts being taken between the parties.
The appellant held the lands direct from the Archbishop of
Dublin for the time being, under a lease considered to be
perpetually renewable, and had granted a lease to a person
named Frayne. Rent being over-due in the year 1839, the
appellant brought an action of ejectment. The action was
not defended, and the appellant obtained judgment, but
before a writ of habere facials possessionem was issued the
rent and costs were tendered by the widow of Frayne. The
ejectment was stopped, and Frayne, jun., took possession of
the lands. It was stated that Malone advanced the money,
and took a mortgage on the lands by way of security.
In the year 1840, rent again being in arrear, another eject-
ment was brought. The case went to trial, and the appel-
lant recovered judgment and a writ of habere, which was
executed, and under which he entered into possession. The
respondent, Malone, afterwards filed his bill in the Court of
Chancery, with a prayer to the effect above stated, and al-
leged his title to be that of mortgagee of the premises in
virtue of having advanced the money which in 1839 was
paid to the appellant for the rent and costs then due. The
respondent, Malone, proved a tender of the rent and costs
within the time permitted by the statutes of Ireland to a
person who desired to redeem a forfeiture. The appellant
refused to accept the tender. The Lord Chancellor granted
the prayer of the bill, and apparently considering that the
appellant ought to have accepted the money tendered, di-
rected him to pay the costs of suit. The lease of 1823 ex-
pired in March, 1843, but the decree was not finally made till
April, 1843.
