LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, May 26.
The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in his Court at Westmi
ster to-day.
MAN,SER V. THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN ninweir

COMPANY.
This case came before the Court upon motion to di 5'
solve an injunction granted by the Vice-Chancellor,
which restrained the defendants from erecting a bridge,
under a certain size, over the River Lea, near the Oil 1;
tiff's mill. The case was partly heard on Saturday, an a
the arguments were resumed and concluded to-day.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the
guments, ordered the injunction to be dissolved,
Company unitertaking to build the bridge of the re-
quired height.
The arguments in this case occupied the Court the
whole day.

ROLLS' COURT, May 26.
The Master of the Rolls after disposing of the con-
sent petitions on his Lordship's paper, proceeded to beg
motions.

JOHNSON V. TIAMMERSLEY:
This case came before the Court some ,irce sin's° upon
a petition praying for a reference to the 1 Taster ascer-
tain the amount of the assets and liabilit:eis of the late
ba:ik of Hammersleys and Co. in Pall-mr 01. That re-
fereVce had now taken place, and an ar plies,tion was
made pp-clay to confirm the report which the Master
had made' upon that reference. By that report the
Master found that the debts of the firm amounted to,
upwards of 600,0001., and that the assets alre a dy realise*
exceeded 300,000/. ; he therefore recommen x led that...zit
dividend of 10s. in the pound should be -,•lared.
that was done it would leave upwards of 40,06 'O/. in the
hands of the Court to pay any other creditors r ho might
hereafter prove their debts.
Mr. PEMBERTON observed that there were abe ut eighty
creditors residing in different parts of the world, whose
debts did rot exceed 10/. each ; which would t 'ierefore
not take more than 503/. to pay them all in full which
he thought would be the more convenient cot arse
of
adopt. He would therefore propose that the am g. uut
those debts should be paid to Mr. Fynemore, the sci,licitor
in the cause, leaving it with him "to settle with :thoses
parties.
The MASTER of the RoLLs could not consent to, the,
adoption of such a course, as it would be a manifest ja
justice to the other creditors.
Mr. PEMBERTON felt convinced that no compla u,t
could be made in this case with respect to the delays
the Court of Chancery, for, in a very short period 3'
deed, a decrae had been obtained, the assets realised, ellu
the Master had made his report as to the debts and lia-
bilities of the firm, and the case now came before Abe
Court for the confirmation of that report
The MASTER of the RoLLs ordered the report to.• he
confirmed.

BAIL COURT, May 26.
COATS AND ANOTHER v. CHAPLIN AND ANOTHER. • ,
This was an action to recover 80/. 17s. the value 4);
parcel of crape shawls, which were entrusted to the de-
fendants as carriers, which they lost.
Mr. Erie and Mr. Thomas were Counsel fo t th
plaintiff; Mr. Platt and Mr. Whitmore appeared f the

defendants.
It appeared that in August last the plaintiff "0

warded the parcel in question by the Grand Ju netl
Railway, for whom the defendants were contract( Irs,

safely. at the Camden Town Station of the Londe ,0
Birmingham Railway, where the defendants have t
of business, on the 23d of August, directed Met I,srs.
and J. Morrison and Co., London ; but according 40 tll_oo
principal witness for the plaintiff (Allen), who w s
receiving porter at Messrs. Morrison's establisher a Olt
Fore-street, it never reached its destination. The j )arci",
was acknowledged to be wrongly addressed, it oug 11t
have been either James Morrison and Co., or, as flit l nrio
now is, Morrison, Dillon, and Co. Such a parcel
never offered to him, or if he had any doubt about :
would not have refused it without asking advice ir-
some of the superintendents of the business. It; wss
also proved that the invoice directed " J. and J. Morr iS °li.!'r

After a long address to the Jury, Mr. Platt ca

marked " M. D. and C 0.," and numbered ; t
' truss was addressed " J. and J. Morrison and Co.:
They saw Allen there, who received the bill and signe i
the book, but he said the truss was not theirs, and eausesl
it to be taken away again. They also stated that as%
there was a Morrison and Co. in Star-court, Bread-street,
they went there with it to see if it was e'reeted to them,
but tl ley also refused it, and they then took it to defendant's
warehouse, Hamburgh Wharf, Southwark Bridge, where
it was thrown into the warehouse amongst other goods
which were daily being sent off both by land and water.
Several clerks of the defendant and of their correspond'
ents at Liverpool were called in order to make out

it did not appear to have been received in Liverpool li

His LORDSHIP summed up, and left it to the Jury 0

they had used due care in warehousing it aftewards.
The Jury retired for two hours and then retereetfr
with the answer to the first query, " No Tender," and t„,g°

In the course of the trial Mr. PLATT objected that the
plaintiffs were not the owners of the property, it havil

His LORDSHIP refused to nonsuit on this ground, sill

a country constituency, who offered to return hirn,..l-5

understood, informed the deputation, that having ma he
impaired his fortune by the pecuniary sacrifices

had made while in Parliament, he felt it his duty 01;0
tain his present appointment, which precluded him fr°o
sitting in Parliament. It is rumoured that the offer
made in consequence of an application from some inr,
ential Members of Parliament, who are anxious that le
Harvey should have a seat in the forthcoming strugg b, •
and that an annuity could be purchased by 9,11 t•
