CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor aat to-day in the Old Hall, Lin-
colns' Inn.

ATTORNEY GENERAL V. NUN/tO.

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 loeger to be minister
of that church. The ground o❑ which the Learned
Counsel made the application was, that the parties having
appealed from the judgment of the Court below to hie
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 him to
allow one congregation to be turned 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 congregation
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.
WARD V. WARD.

His Lordship was occupied the remainder of the day
with hearing tho further arguments in this case in his
private room.
Nothing of any interest occurred in the other Equity
Courts.

BANKRUPTC Y.-( THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner Houtorp.)

THE GENERAL MARATIME INSURANCE COMPANY, IN RE

STREALFIELD.

This bankrupt was described as an underwriter in
Cornhill, and one of the directors of the General 111ara-
time Insurance Company.
His IloNona now gave judgment on a claim made to
prove for the sum of 200 L, on an insurance on the ship
Cumberland. The insurance described the company as
above, and the names of the directors appeared in the
margin, and the insurance policy was signed by three
of the directors, bankrupt not being one. A
loss occurred, and a claim was sent in to the co:npany
which was compounded for the above sum; but the com-
pany not being in a condition to pay, the claim was put
in against the private estate of Mr. Strealtield, who had
declared himself bankrupt. It was contended that his
estate was not liable, and the policy ought to have set
forth the names of the underwriters, instead of which
they were desoribed generally as "The General
Maritime Insurance Company." His Honour referred at
great length to the Acts referring to sea insurances.
By the sth and 6th George 1., c. 18, it was enacted that
no corporation, society, or company should grant in-
surances, except the Royal Exchange Insurance Com-
pany and the London Assurance Company, but private
persons might assure, and the 35th George 111., c. 33,
required their names to be inserted in the policy, but
by the sth George IV., c. 114, former Acts were
repealed, allowing societies or companies to effect
insurances. The first question, therefore, was whether
the description of all the parties partners was not
embodied in the title of the company under which they
carried on business. His Honour consider it was, and
the proof ought to be admitted.
