CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Continued from our First Edition.)
EAMES V. PARKINSON.
This was the petition of Charles Jeremiah Free-
man, and came before his Lordship as an appeal from
the decision of the Master of the Rolls. The pe-
titioner was the committer of the respondent, William
%Vyget Parkinson, a lunatic, and an order had been
made against the petitioner, on a matter for which
he was not personally liable, but which should have
been against the lunatic personally. The order
was for the payment into Court by the peti•
tioner of 141., of which sum the respondent was a
defaulting trustee, by the 6th instant, under a penalty
of being tak::n into custody or having his property
sequestrated.
Mr. J. PARKER and another Learned Gentleman
appeared for the appellant, Messrs. Linney and Bush
for the respondent.
His Log.silip considered that the Master of the
Rolls had not the power of making the order in
question, and upon that ground he discharged so
much of that portion of it as made the appellant per-
sonally liable.

COLLINS V. ROPER.
This was also an aeal from the decision of the
Master of the relating to the payment of certain
costs.

There was nothing of any public interest in the
case, and his Lordship directed that an inquiry should
be made.

ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
His Lordship was occupied to-day in hearing un-
opposed petitions, which contained nothing of any
public interest.

DEATH OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC
BISHOP FROM TYPHUS FEVER.

(FROISI A CORRESPONDENT.)
NEWCASTLE-Ca-TYNE, Nov. 2.—The Right Rev.
Dr. Riddell, Roman Catholic Bishop of the Northern
District, died to-day, in Charlotte-square, at about
three o'clock, aged forty-two. Dr. Riddell had
been coadjutor to the late Dr. Alostyn (who died
about a month ago) for the last three or four years,
and of course had only recently succeeded to the full
charge of the district, when thus suddenly called
away. The typhus fever having made such havoc
amongst the Catholic priesthood, and there being no
priest to officiate in the old chapel here, the deceased
prelate had been officiating on Sunday week, after
which he was seized with the epidemic, and lingered
till today, when death put an end to his sufferings. Dr.
Riddell was a native of Northumberland, connected
with an ancient family, beloved by all who had the
honour of his acquaintance, and his loss has cast a
gloom over, and will be deeply felt by, a large and
populous district.
