MQSELEY V. ALSTEN. -THE OXFORD AND BIRMINGHAM

RAILWAY.

The application on behalf of the plaintiff for an injunction
u this case was specially fixed to-day for Wednesday next.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.)

AGLE t'. lIANSAID.

This cause turned upon the question as to whether a se-
verance of interest had taken place in certain properties to
which Messrs. Luke Hansard and Luke Graves Hansard had
become entitled under the will of their father. It appeared
that the testator left the premises, where he carried on busi-
ness, as well as the implements necessary for a publishing
office, to his two sons, together with certain leasehold and
personal property. which was to be divided in equal parts
between them. The brothers carried on the same business as
their father till the death of Luke Graves Hansard. A short
time prior to the last event it was alleged, on the part of the
plaintiff, that a severance had been effected in the tenancy of
the property between the parties.
All the facts have already appeared in this journal.
His HONOUR delivered judgment to-day, and decreed that
the severance had been agreed to as to stock, and that there
had been a tenancy in common, except as regards the Gates-
head property.
On the application of Mr. ROMILLT, the case was directed
to be put in the paper on Wednesday next.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 26.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FAKE.)
_ _LN RE FILTHOUSI.

In this case the bankrupt had carried on business as a
builder, and in March last came up for his certificate which
was then adjourned for three years.
The bankrupt's solicitor now applied to his Honour to in-
duce him to re-open his decision under peculiar circum-
stances. He said his Honour in giving judgment had
stated that he should adjourn the certificate for three
years, one on the opposition of Mr. King, a
judgment creditor, and two at the instance of the
assignees. Since then, however, they had been indicted for
perjury, on the affidavit of debt on which the bankrupt had
been arrested. He had, however, removed the case from the
Sessions to the Court of Queen's Bench, and had also ap-
plied for a special jury. The consequence was, that twelve
months had expired, and it was Rot likely that the trial
would come on till Michaelmas Term. Under those circum-
stances, and as the bankrupt had already been in prison for
twelve months at the suit of King, he hoped his Honour
would alter his decision.

His HoNova said he had no power after having once
given his judgment—perhaps he might not have suspended
the certificate for such a length of time if he had known that
the bankrupt would have been imprisoned. He must refuse
the application.

SECONDARIES' COURT, lurch 26.
(Before Mr. Secondary JAmss.)
BAr.IIY AID ANOTHIR, V. COMES AHD ANOTIllia.
The plaintiffs in this action are wholesale stationers in
Thames-street, and the defendants are the proprietors of the
Liverpool Weekly Times.
The defendants suffered judgment to go by default. It
appeared from the facts that the plaintiffs had supplied the
defendants with a large quantity of stamped paper for the
publications of the Liverpool Weekly Times.
Letters from the defendants were put in, admitting the
delivery of the goods. Some little diffieulty, however, arose
as to the price, as the defendants had written to say the price
should be only 91., instead of 91. 9s.
A clerk of the plaintiff's was called, and said that the price
of the last orders had been reduced, the weight having also
been reduced.
A verdict was given for the plaintiff for 1661. 19s. 6d.
