CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat to-day at eleven o'clock.
IN THE MATTER OF UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, OXFORD.
The arguments in this case were resumed this
morning, and occupied his Lordship the whole day.
The case, which has been now argued for two days,
and seems likely to occupy another, comes before the
Court, upon a petition presented to the Lord Chan-
cellor as the representative of her Majesty, who is the
visitor of University College, Oxford, by the Rev.
Mr. Moorson, scholar of the college, for the purpose
of setting aside two elections to fellowships in the
college—first, that of Mr. Bright on the foundation
of King Henry IV., and the other that of Mr.
Conington on the foundation of William of Durham.
The petition also prayed that the petitioner might
be declared entitled to one of the fellowships. The
question with respect to the fellowship on the founda-
tion of King Henry was, whether it was necessary
that the person holding it should be in priest's orders
at the time of the expiration of the six months of
probation ? If so, whether Mr. Bright was disquali-
fied, he not being at that time of the age required
for priest's orders ? The main point raised on the
petition was the meaning of the word sacerdos in the
statutes of the college, revised in the reign of George
11., whether it meant simply priest, or was a
generic term, and included deacon. The question
under the foundation of William of Durham
was, whether a general preference was to
be given to natives of the diocese of York and
Durham when qualified, or only when candidates
should happen to be ccertis perebus, Mr. Conington
being a native of the province of Canterbury.
11Ir. Cooper and Mr. Adams were counsel for the
petitioner; and Mr. Bethel!, Dr. Twiss, and Mr.
Roundell Palmer appeared for the college.
The arguments on behalf of the college occupied
the whole day.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HoLaoitn.)
IN RE A. H. CHAMBERS, THE ELDER.
In this case in which the bankrupt and his partners
formerly carried on business as bankers, in Bond•
street, to-day was named, at the audit meeting, for
a final dividend under the estate, but the time not
having expired under the notice in the Gazette, the
dividend meeting did not take place, but will be held
on the 25th instant.

IN RE YEATES.
In this case the bankrupt was described as a stock
and share broker in Lothbury, and to-day was ap-
pointed for his last examination.
The assignees applied for an adjournment in con•
sequence of the accounts requiring investigation.
His HONOUR said he invariably granted an adjourn•
ment if required, but the first was always at the ex•
pense of the estate.
The 15th of February was then named for the ad-
journment day.

CLERKENWELL.—( THIS DAY.)
Two men, named Riley and 3PRae, were charged
with a murderous assault on several constables.
It appeared from the evidence that at midnight the
attention of three officers of the N division of police
was drawn to a disturbance in Rose and Crown-
court, High-street, Islington, and on going there, in
the hope of quelling it, they were met by the pH.
soners, and other disorderly characters, and attacked
with brick-bats and stones; and the first-named pri-
soner went into his house and brought out a pick.
axe, which he raised and aimed at policeman Col-
lard, 421 N, and would, in all human probahility,
have occasioned his death, had not Sergeant Webb,
12 G, seized him and thrown him down. After a
most desperate affray, in which the complainants
were seriously injured, the prisoners were captured.
Mr. TYRWHITT severely and deservedly admonished
them, and committed them to the House of Corree•
tion tor a month without fine.
