CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took bankrupt petitions, lu-
natic petitions, and appeals to-day.

BOOTH V. CRESWICK

In this case, in which there was a motion and a peti-
tion, upon the application of Mr. Stuart they were both
ordered to come on together.

CARTER V. NELSON, A `YARD.
Mr. DANIEL said he was instructed to apply to his
Lordship in this case for the direction of the Court, in
consequence of the circumstances that had taken place.
The petition was presented shortly before the present
term by the father of a yoting lady, complaining that
she had been removed to improper custody, and had
been improperly detained by the respondent. On
the first day of term, the petition being then
on the paper of the Vice-Chancellor of England, the
counsel on behalf of the petitioner applied to the Court
for the purpose of having a day fixed for the parties to
attend his Honour. The Vice-Chancellor having fixed
Wednesday morning, the parties attended, and as it was
considered a case necessary to be heard in private the
matter came on in his lionoUr's private room. The
matter of the petitioner was opened, the affidavit of the
father on behalf of the petitioner was opened also, and his
Honour questioned the young lady in private. The Court
having heard the matter of the petitioner, ordered that it
should stand over till Wednesday next, and that in the
mean time the custody of the young lady should be retained
by the respondent. Subsequently it was ascertained that
the petition had been, iu fact, transferred to the paper
of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.
Mr. RouPEL----No, it had not been transferred ; it
was put on Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce's paper by
mistake.

Mr. DANIEL-It appeared on the paper of Vice-Chan-
cellor Knight Bruce, and was struck out when called on,
no party appearing. Under these circumstances it was
supposed, on the part of the respondent, that there
might be sonic difficulty, because it was feared it might
be said that the petition, having been transferred to the
paper of Vice-Chancellor Bruce, the Vice-Chancellor of
England had no authority to make the order he had
done. Under these circumstances he had been in-
structed to apply to the Court for its direction.
The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to know whether the
petition was transferred before' the question came on
before the Vice-Chancellor of England.
Mr. DANIEL said that he had been instructed that
such was the fact; it was stated upon affidavit.
The Lord CHANCELLOR said he had been told that
that was not very probable, because it had been arranged
that the Vice-Chancellor of England should take the
old petitions, of which this was one.
Mr. DANIEL was so instructed.
Mr. ROUPEL, on behalf of the petitioner, submitted
that the application was 'not only irregular but unneces-
sary. It proceeded upon the assumption that the petition
had been transferred to the paper of Vice-Chancellor
Knight Bruce. It was true that the petition had ap-
peared on the paper of that Learned Judge, but it had
been put there by mistake, and upon its being called on
it was struck out upon that fact being stated to the Court.
Such being the facts, he submitted it had been properly
heard by the Vice-Chancellor of England, and disposed
of by that Learned Judge.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was clear that it was
properly on the paper of the Vice-Chancellor of England,
and had been by mistake put into that of Vice-Chancellor .
Knight Bruce. His 'Lordship thought that if inquiry
had been made by the clerk of Mr. Daniel, that mistake
might have been discovered.
Mr. ROUPEL observed that no party disputed the
order of the Vice-Chancellor of England, and he sub-
mitted, therefore, that he was' entitled to the costs of the
present application.
Mr. DANIEL said, that his client was anxious to ob-
tain the direction of the Court ; and, under such circum-
stances, he trusted the Court would not visit him with
the costs.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, considering that if inquiry
had been made by Mr. Daniel's client, he would have
ascertained that the petition had been properly heard
by the Vice-Chancellor of England, ordered him to
to pay the costs of the present application.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.

JENKINS r. BRYANT.

Mr. PEMBERTON moved on behalf of Mr. • Bull, a
solicitor, to. discharge an order to him as solicitor
of the plaintiff to deliver his bill, and all the books
and papers In the cause, to the plaintiff: It ap-
pearrd that the parties had entered into an engagement
with the solicitor not to employ any other person in the
suit in that capacity ; and his Lordship, after hearing
the facts of the case, which related to an annuity, granted
the order.
