LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 7.
JUDGMENT ON BEER AND WARD.
The LORD CHANCELLOR resumed the declaration of his
judgment in this case, which had been interrupted by the rising
of the Court on Wednesday. His Lordship ordered the case t°
be sent to a trial at bar, in which the opinions of all the Jude
would be taken, as well on the law as on the general circum-
stances of the case. The trial should be had in the King's
Bench.

SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER.
Mr. Pnir.r.rmoitE moved the Court to confirm the Report of
the Master. A conversation ensued, in which Mr. PEmiall:
TON and Mr. TREsEovE participated, in the course of which
the latter Gentleman read a letter from Sir Gregory, couched in ,
language which shewed that he was of sound mind.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, if the parties thought fit tc!
go on with the traverse it must be at their own risk, for he ha
not the power of reimbursing them, or of advancing any pecu-
niary assistance for that purpose. his Lordship had seen Sir
Gregory himself, and had also read the affidavits of medics,.
men, with whom he had also conversed, and the result was,.
that was of opinion' that the traverse of the inquisition might.
be effectually carried on, but lie had not the power of order
ing that Mr. Davison should proceed. The traverse might g°
on, as he had before stated, but the person of Sir Gregory Must.
be taken care of in the mean time, and for this purpose he,
would confirm that part of the order ; but, with respect to the
other, the petition must be dismissed.

GROOME AND OTHERS v. SIR THOS. CHAMPNEYS,
Chi
Sergeant PHI;T. moved on behalf of the defendant to
the rule directing him to pay upwards of 12.000/. to the plato'
tiffs, enlarged. He was aware that the Court having on.!
already granted this indulgence would not be inclined to do b±:i
a second time. unless some very strong affidavits were producev
-by bun to shew that the defendant had done all in his power
comply. with the order, and that the extension of the rule would
proceedings iriieu Ls einarnl.
not be inconsistent with justice to the plaintiffs. These affidv
vita he had, one of which was made by a very respectable
tleman, Mr. Tyndale, of Lincoln's-inn-fields, and who' had
been kind enough to lend his able assistance to the detention!!
but although that Gentleman had declined acting further ill tn.
business, he had in the handsomest manner come forward an
made an affidavit of the circumstances attending it, by Ivh,ic'
it appeared that application had been made to several Genl-C
men to advance the defendant the sum necessary to pay the
plaintiff's agreeably to the rule of Court, and that one of then.'
had agreed to lend the money, but in consequence of an 01'
nion of Counsel, taken on the title, he had since declined doillg
so. The Learned Sergeant said, that the ground upon whit!:
the present motion was made was, that the order of Court haJ
directed the deeds forming the security to the plaintiff's to o'
cancelled on payment of the money, but that it was necessary,
to have an assignment of a term of 500 years, created by on;
of them, which gave a prior right, that no other incumbrance
could affect.

Sergeant OrrsLow appeared for the plaintiffs, and said that
Sir Thomas Champneys had experienced every indulgence
possible.
After some consultation the Court granted a further perioa
of a fortnight for payment of the money, which was to be
peremptory, and directed that the plaintiffs should give every
facility to the defendant, for the purpose of enabling him td
affect a loan of the sum ordered by the Court.
