LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS' COURT; MARCH 8.

The Cotirt heard motions to-day.
YOUNG C. ENGLISH AND OTHERS.-THE NEW CONSERVATIVE

CLUB IN CHANCERY

In this case John Young was the plaintiff, and Charles
Garrard English, Lord Boston, Lord Castlereagh, M.P., Mr.
Ormsby Gore, M P., Mr. Walter Long, M.P., Mr. John M.
Fector, M P., and Henry Walker were d fendants.
From the statement of Counsel it appeared that the defend-
ant English was the lessee of the St. James's Royal Hote
St. James's-street, and that he deposited the lease of that
house with the plaintiff, Mr. Young, as a security for a sum
of 8001., which had been lent to him by that gentleman.
Upon a representation by English that he wa.a about to sell the
property to Lord Boston and others, who intended to esta-
blish a new Conservative club, and that he required
the lease in order to show that he had a good title, Mr Young,
after obtaining a promise that it should be returned as soon as
the purchasers were satisfied with the title, sent the lease to
English, who, instead of returninc, it to the plaintiff, as he had
promised, placed it in the hands of defendant, Mr. Walker,
his solicitor, who gave an undertaking to Lord Boston and the
other purchasers of the property to hold the lease for them. "
Mr. TURNER (who appeared for the plaintiff) stated that
the defendant, English, had only paid 2001. of the money ad-
vanced to him by the plaintiff, so that he still owed 6001. The
Conservative Club was now in pos-ession, and as a con-
side. ab:e part of the pureha e-money remained unpaid,
and was of course due to Mr. Young under his lien upon the
property, he moved that an injunction might be awarded against
Lord Boston, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Ormsby Gore, Mr.
Walter Long, and Mr. Fector, to restrain them from paying
any pa t of the unpaid purchase money to the defendant Eng-
lish, or his solicitor Mr. Walker, and to restrain Mr. Walklr
from parting with the lease and title-deeds. The I earned
Coun: el stated that English had absconded, and was out of the
jurisdiction of the Court, but where the plaintiff had been un-
able to discover.

Mr. GOODEVE appeared for Mr. Walker, and stated that his
client had alto a lien upon the deeds, and had made a most
diligent inquiry after Mr. English, but had been unable to dis-
cover where he was to be found. He merely mentioned that
for the purpose of disconnecting Mr. Walker altogether from
the conduct of English. He was not authorised to appear for
the club in any way, but he believed the motion was not likely
to meet with any opposition from that quarter.
The MASTER of the Rom-s—ln all probability they would
have no objection to pay the money into Court.
Mr. BAGSHAWE (who was with Mr. Turner) believed that
the money, according to the' terms of the contract, was not
yet due.

Mr. GOODEVE could have no objection to the injunction is-
suing against his client, provided it was taken without preju-
dice to any right he might have.
The MASTER of the ROLLS observed that there was no alle-
gation against Mr. Walker. All that would be done by the
injunction would be to say that in the present state of the
claims, and before proof way established of the right of either
party, Mr. Walker was not to part with the lease.
The injunction was then awarded in the terms asked.
BOURNE V. THE ORIENTAL AND PENINSULAR STEAM
NAVIGATION COMPANY.
Mr. HEATHFIELD applied to have this motion (for an in-
junction) stand over until the next seal, on account of Mr.
Pemberton's absence.

i►ir. KINDEKSLEY said that his clients had been under an
undertaking, ever since the 11th of January, not to do that
which the motion sought to restrain them from doing ; so that
they were, in point of fact, pi actically under an injunction,
which was a very great inconvenience to the defendants, be-
cause their whole concern was stopped. He hoped, therefore, the
Court would appoint an early day for the hearing of the motion,
because, if it stood over till the next seal, there would be a de-
lay of another fortnight., which his clients, who were as anxious
as himself to accommodate Mr. Pemberton, could not con-
sent to.

An affidavit having been made, by the desire of the Master
of the Rolls, of the inconvenience that would be caused by
any great delay, Monday next was fixed for the hearing of the
motion.
