CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in the Old Hall, Lin-
Collie Inn.

ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. MUNRO.

Mr. BOLT, at the sitting of the Court, applied to his
Lordship in this case to stay the decree pronounced by
the Vice• Chancellor Knight Bruce the day before yes-
terday, dismissing the trustees of the Scotch Church, in
St. Peter's-square, Manchester, and declaring that the
Rev. Mr. Munro having ceased to belong to the Estab-
lished Church of Scotland, ought no longer to be minister
of that church. The ground on which the Learned
Counsel made the application was, that the parties having
appealed from the judgment of the Court below to his
Lordship, would be prevented obtaining the benefit
of that appeal, unless the execution of the
decree was stayed until that appeal was heard,
inasmuch as it would have the effect of pre.
venting Mr. Munro preaching in the church on Sun-
day next, and thereby disperse a congregation of nearly
1,000 persons.
Mr. J. RUSSELL opposed the application.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought he ought to stay the
execution of the decree until the appeal was heard,
considering that it would be highly unjust in hini to
allow one congregation to be tamed out of the church,
and another placed in its room, when if, after hearing
the appeal, he should decide against the judgment of the
Court below, and thereby have to replace the congregatio❑
which had been removed. Two of the relators, as he
had been informed, were still communicants of Mr.
Munro's, and such being the case, he thought the incon-
venience of allowing matters to go on as they were at
present until the appeal was heard, was inconsiderable
when compared with the inconvenience of removing Mr.
Munro and his congregation, and having again to re-
place them, if he thought the judgment of the Vice-
Chancellor Knight Bruce incorrect. The decree must
therefore be stayed until the hearing of the appeal.
