The actual amount of the duty having somewhat ex-
ceeded the estimate of many parties, the demand for all
kinds of Hops—especially as no speculators aro coming
forward—is in a very inactive state, and, to effect lavge
sales, lower rat s must be submitted to. Yearling and
old Hops may be purchased on unusually low terms.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after disposing of the un-
opposed lunatic petitions in his paper, proceeded to
hear the further arguments in the part-heard appeal
motion of
COTHER V. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. J. PARKER replied to-day in this case, and
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment.
CROCKETT V. CROCKETT. _ -

This case came before the Court upon appeal from
the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram. The
facts of the case may be shortly stated as follows :
J. Crockett, by his will, dated Macao, 15th March,
1831, directed " that all and every part of his pro-
perty should be at the disposal of his most true and
lawful wife, Caroline Crockett, for herself and her
children in the event of any unforeseen accident hap-
pening to himself. The testator died at Macao
in June, 1837, leaving Caroline Crockett, his
widow, and five children surviving; and soon
afterwards administration of the testator's estate,
with the will annexed, was granted to the
widow by the proper authorities at Macao.
In September, 1837, the widow, who had been ad-
vised that, under the will, she was absolutely entitled
to the whole of the testator's property to her own use,
executed a voluntary deed, whereby, after directing
the sum of 15,0001. to be remitted to this country,
she settled that sum upon trust for herself for life, if
she should so long remain unmarried, and after her
death or marriage upon trust for five children
of the testator. One Sof the children afterwardsdied, and the bill was filed by the four surviving
children against the widow for an account of the
testator's estate, and praying a declaration that
the children were entitled under the will to the tes-
tator's property jointly with the widow, and that
the deed of September, 1837, was not binding upon
them. At the hearing of the cause in 1841, the
Court made a declaration that the children took an
interest in possession in the testator's property at his
decease, under the testator's will, and that the deed
of September, 1837, was not binding upon them ;
and directed that the whole income of the testator's
residuary estate should he paid to the mother during
the infancy of the children, or until further order,
she maintainingand educating them in a pruper. manner.
Upon the eldest of the children attaining his majority
he presented the present petition to the Court, for a
transfer of his portion of the fund, and upon the
hearing of the petition the question
was,,
whether the
word " disposal" in the will conferred upon the widow
the power of distributing the capital of the fund
amongst the children, or whether she he was en-
titled thereby only to the care and custody
of the income belonging to the children during
re
n during
their minorities. The Vice-Chancellor Wigram
held that the widow and her children took a joint in-
terest in the residuary estate of the testator, and,
after directing the portion of the petitioner to be paid
to him, ordered that the direction which he had
pre-
viously made should be continued as to the mother
and the infant children, and from that judgment the
present appeal was brought.
Mr. Walker and Mr. Busk appeared for the appel-
lant, and Mr. Romilly and Mr. Roundel' Palmer were
counsel for the respondents.
The case on behalf of the appellants had not con-
cluded when his Lordship rose, shortly after two
o'clock, to attend the pricking for sheriffs in the
Court of Exchequer.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)
SOUTHAMPTON, MANCHESTER, AND OXFORD JUNCTION
RAILWAY SCHEME.—PORSONS V. MUNTZ AND OTHERS.
This was a bill filed by the plaintiff, praying for a
decree ordering the defendant to pay him a sum of
897/. 9s. 11d.
Mr. K. PARKER opened the case, and, from the
Learned Gentleman's statement, it appeared that the
plaintiff, who is a solicitor, projected in August, 1845,
a scheme called the Southampton, Manchester, and
Oxford Junction Railway. The undertaking was
advertised, and being favourably received, on the
19th of August, 1845, the necessary preliminaries,
entering it at the Register-office, &c., were made. A
meeting of those favourable to the project was held on
the 27th of the same month, when a full statement of
the probable return that the shareholders would
obtain from the scheme was made by Mr. Parsons,
which was so satisfactory that a resolution was agreed
to approving of the project. A provisional committee,
of which the defendant was a member, was appointed,
and they appointed a sub-committee. The defendants
consented to act, and had done so ever since. It was
also resolved that the committee thus appointed should
not be held personally responsible for any costs that
might be incurred in the formation of the company,
which should be defrayed out of the funds that might
be subscribed. Mr. Parsons continued to act as soli-
citor of the company, and incurred considerable ex-
penses. Several applications were made for shares,
of which a considerable number were allotted, and a
deposit of 21. 2s. paid on each share. The capital
required for the undertaking was 1,200,000/., to
which 40,0001. had been subscribed. On the 9th of
November, 1845, the plaintiff was superseded and
directed to send in his account, which he accordingly
did, claiming 8971. 9s. lid. 2001. of that sum was
paid him, and the present bill was then filed. It ap-
peared that, subsequent to the filing of the bill, the
defendants tendered the plaintiff a sum of 4001. in
liquidation of his demand, which he refused. The
defendants, in their answer, alleged that they were
not personally liable, and that the plaintiff had not
established his claim.
(The case had not concluded when our report left.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco )
The Court took the demurrer paper this morning ;
no case of public interest came on for argument. The
Court rose at an early hour, in order to attend the
pricking for sheriffs in the Exchequer-chamber.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIi DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN-RE MORSE.
This bankrupt described as of Neithrop, Oxford,
woolstapler, came up to pass his last examination,
.
which had been adjourned for further accounts.
It appeared that he had carried on business for 40
years, doing business to the extent formerly cf.
20,0001. per annum, yet had never kept any books.
He had banked with the same firm for 20 years, and
their predecessors for 20 years, but his credit was
stopped a few months since, which mainly led to his
bankruptcy. His present debts are about 1,0001.,
and the assets about 300/., but it is expected tlh:t
property under a settlement will be recovered, in
which event the estate will pay 20s. in the pound, and
leave a surplus.
The assignees were now satisfied that the best
account the bankrupt could render had been put in
and has passed his examination,
