11.01,1 S' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
Lord Langdale sat to-day at ten o'clock.
RAVEN V. TAYLOR.
The cross-petition in this case, which was part heard, was
resumed to-day.
Messrs. Turner and Harding replied on the part of the
petitioners.
Lord LANGDALE said this case had occupied a consider-
able portion of time at various periods, and yet
he could not make any adjudication on the case.
He could only say. what should be done with reference
to the costs. He did not know whether any suit
would be instituted in this cause, and he was extremely de-
sirous of not expressing any opinion on the cause, which
might become the subject of litigation. He certainly had
expressed his dissent from some of the arguments which bad
been used. That opinion, however, would not be of any im-
portance in future proceedings. The case appeared to be.
simply this :—There was a creditor, who administered to
an estate, which it was considered desirable to
sell, and a portion of the money to be given
to Mr. and Mrs. Ashwell for their lives, and the residue for
their children's use. A petition had been brought forward in
the cause, which, however, did not comprise all that was ne-
cessary, and another petition was presented by Mr. Ashwell,
complaining of gross misconduct with respect to the trustees.
It did,- however, appear, from allj the circumstances set
forth, that Mr. Ashwell had cause to complain. Having re-
gard to the cross-petition, he could not give that relief which
was sought. Under all the circumstances, he could not do
, better than order that there should be no costs on either side.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL 7f. TIIE CORPORATION OF
CONGLETON.
The arguments on a motion for injunction in this case
were concluded to-day. Details were gone into only so far as
they affected the motion immediately before the Court, but
the power of appointing a master to the Free Grammar
School of Congleton, which has been exercised for' at least
the last 400 years, seems to be brought into dispute at
present by the religious differences of the day. It
appeared in evidence that the master of the school
has hitherto been a member of the Church of England,
and in several instances in priest's orders, discharging
the duties of the sacred office at a small iapel close by
the school, for which the corporation acted as trustees.
Tlie books of the corporation show that their have been in
the custom of paying the master of the school 161. yearly
since the year 1390. It was contended, therefore, on the part
of the Attorney. General, that the corporation were mere
trustees, and as such had no power to interfere with the
school, or with the character of the education hitherto
given.
When Mr. ROMILLY had replied,
Mr. ANGLETON proposed, on behalf of the mayor and the
corporation of Congleton, that litigation should be stayed by
a decree, made by consent of both parties, declaring that
the liability of the corporation to pay 16/. annually to the
master, and their power of appointment to the vacancy,
should both cease and determine henceforth.
The case was postponed for consideration.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.
(Sittings in Banco, at Westminster Hitll.)
WOOD V. LORD PORTARLINGTON.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he applied tor a rule to show
cause why an order should not be made to strike the name of
Mr. Macy off the roll of attorneys. It appeared that the
charge against Mr. Macy was that he had been guilty of
subornation of perjury. Mr. Macy had been an attorney for
the last fifteen years, practising in this Court, during which
time not the slightest imputation or suspicion had been cast
upon his character. This charge was a most serious one, and
was to the effect that Mr. Macy had induc .d another party to
swear to certain matter, of the truth of which he was not
aware. This charge had been distinctly denied by Mr. Macy,
upon his solemn oath ; and he (the Solicitor-General) trusted
he would be able to show the Court that the charge was
unfounded, and had been made to extort money from Mr.
Macy.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the other side, said that as
the result of the application would be to send the case before
the Master, he would suggest, for the convenience of the
Court, that that course should be now adopted.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL said he had no objection; and
that course was agreed to.
