ADJOURNMENT OF THE CONVENTION.

Mr. WILKINSON moved that the Convention, at its
rising, should adjourn till Monday next.
After some discussion, the motion was agreed to, and
the Convention adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the first day of Easter Term, the Lord
Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster. In conse-
quence of the new arrangement that has been made, that
the Lord Chancellor should not entertain the Judges,
Masters in Chancery, or Queen's Counsel to breakfast
on the first day of any term, with the exception of
Michaelmas, his Lordship took his seat at half-past ten
o'clock, and after disposing of the unopposed lunatic
petitions on his paper, proceeded to hear appeal motions
and appeals.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GRAINGER.
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL V. GRAINGER.
Mr. Twiss applied to-day in these cases, that the first
case might be transferred from the paper of his Honour
the Vice-Chancellor of England to that of his
Lordships', in order that it might be heard
at the same time that Christ's Hospital v. Grainger
came on before his Lordship upon appeal from the de-
decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England. Our readers
will recollect that the case of the Attorney. General v.
Grainger was an information Sled by her Majesty's At-
torney General at the suggestion of the Charity Com-
missioners, for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of
the Court to a scheme for the better administration of a
charity in Reading, called "Kendrick's Charity," and
the case of Christ's Hospital v. Grainger is a suit insti-
tuted by the governors of Christ's Hospital claiming the
whole benefit of the charity in consequence of the default
of the Corporation of Reading. The latter case
had been hilly heard before the Vice• Chancellor
of England, and his Honour had pronounced
a decree in favour of the claim of Christ's
Hospital, and the former csae had only been partly heard.
Under these circumstances the present application was
made, on the ground that if the Court after hearing the
appeal should affirm the decision of the Court below,
the principal object of the information would be put an
end to.
Mr. Twiss and Mr. Blount were in support of the
application, and Mr. Stuart and Mr. J. Parker opposed it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that the proper
course to adoi t would be to request the Vice-Chancellor
of England to stay the further hearing in the case of the
Attorney General v. Grainger, until he (the Lord Chan-
cellor) had heard and determined the appeal in Christ's
Hospital v. Grainger.

PRENDERGAST v. LDSHINGTON.
His LORDSHIP was occupied the rest of the
morning with the arguments in this case, which came
before his Lordship upon a motion to stay all proceed-
ings under the order pronounced by the Court below,
and by the Lord Chancellor upon appeal on the case,
until an appeal, which had been presented to the House
of Lords, had been heard.

Waif of the Royal Beak of Liverpool, to dissolve In

injunction to restrain them from proceeding against the

Q U.

i IN THE MATTER 01 GUY.—NISCONDUCT OF AN
ATTORNEY.
Mr. MARTIN applied for a rule, calling upon an at-
torney whose name, he stated, was Guy, to show cause
why he should not pay to a Mr. Boustead, or his attor-
ney, the sum of 461. 10A, The applicant was the exe-
cutor of his brother, who died in July last. He applied
to the attorney to take out probate, and paid to him, at
his request, the above-named sum, in order to
enable him to do so. It was originally inten-
ded to have taken out probate in the Court of the
Bishop of Carlisle, but he stated that by taking it out
in London 201. would be saved, to which the applicant
assented. Owing to the great delay that took place the
suspicions of Mr. Boustead were aroused, and it was
found, on inquiry, that no steps whatever had been taken
in the matter. Many letters had passed between the
parties, in which the person complained of had sought
further time.
The COURT acceded to the application.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Justice Coleridge sat fur about a quarter of an
hour in the Bail Court this morning; but one motion was
made, and it was devoid of public interest.
