The procession passed along King-street, Cheap-
side, Newgate street, Skinner street, Farringdon-
street, and New Bridge-street, to Blackfriars-bridge,
thence by water to Westminster, where his Lordship
arrived at half-past one o'clock.
His Lordship, who looked extremely well, was
much cheered along the entire route, more especially
whilst journeying through his own Ward of Far-
ringdon. Flags were hung from several of the
houses; scarcely a window was unoccupied, aid the

cheering which greeted his Lordship from
house and road must have been mok," gra•
tifying. We never remember having seen so 'many
people in the streets on any former Lord Mayor's
day within our recollection. They were densely
crowded in every part, as much so as when her
Majesty opened the Royal Exchange. The bridges
were also much crowded, and as his Lordship passed
below the arches, the spectators above gave him right
hearty cheers.

We should not omit to mention that a beautifully
constructed ship, fully rigged and actually manned,
emblematic of his Lordship's naval. services, Was
drawn on a car by six horses. The progress of the
vessel was hailed with much enthusiasm.
After the swearing in of the Lord " Mayor, the
procession again took water. At the Obelisk, Bridge•
street, it was joined by the Ambassadors;. her Ma-
jesty's Ministers of State, the nobility, judges, Mem•
bers of Parliament, and other persons of distinction
invited to the banquet. •

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lineola's
.nn to-day to hear appeal motions.

THOMAS V. THOMAS.—JUDGMENT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, which came before him yesterday, upon appeal
from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.
The bill was filed by the widow of William Charles
Thomas against her nephew, the son of Thomas Hughes
Thomas, -for au injunction to restrain proceedings at
law on a promissory note for 3001. Thomas Hughes
Thomas was a butcher in North Wales. He died in
1832, leaving two daughters and one son, the defendant
in the suit. The children being very young, William
Charles Thomas, who was their uncle, and a small farmer,
took them to his house, and supported them until -his
death in 1841. His widow, the plaintiff, being left in the
management of the farm at Tresselin, took 'the de-
fendant, then about twenty years of age, to be her
bailiff, and he continued in that capacity until February
1844, when he laid claim to a share of the assets of his
father, which, as he alleged, had passed into the hands of
his uncle, the husband of the plaintiff. Accounts were
produced and examined by Thomas Jones, her brother-
in-law; and the result was that the plaintiff, on a 'repre-
sentation of 361/. Bs. being due, consented to Sign st
promissory note for 3001. as a compromise. The bill
alleged that this note was signed in ignorance of the
state of the accounts or the nature of the claim;
that the plaintiff was unable to write her own name
without difficulty, and cuuld not read the writing
of others; that tke defendant not having taken, out
representation to his father had no legal
even if the liability of the plaintiff was established ; and
that at all events there must be an account taken, and $
set-off allowed for the maintenance of the children from
the year 1832. The bill was filed in. November, 1845,
and on the answer coming in, the Vice-Chancellor; on
the merits confessed in it, granted as injunction until
the hearing of the cause, on the condition of the plaintiff
submitting to judgment at law. The cause was after-
wards heard, and his:lronour then vacated the judgment,
and dismissed the bill-with costs, and against that judg-
ment the plaintiff appealed to this branch of the,Codrt.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after going at some length
into the case, ordered the judgment of the Vice-Chaa-
cellor Knight Bruce to be affirmed with costs.

Appeal dismissed with costs. --
STEPHEN FOX DICKSON F. TEE QUEEN. PETITION or

RIGHT.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who was in attendance in
court specially in the case of " The Corporation of
Rochester v. Leo'," said that he wished, before he pro.
ceeded with that case, to make an application in a matter
with respect to a petition of right. He had been served
with notice on the part of a gentleman named Stephen
Vox Dickson that it was his intention to apply to the
bun for a commission to examine witnesses under II
petition of right, in which her Majesty bad commanded
right to be done. From the statements of the Learned
Attorney-General it appeared that Mr. Dickson, being I
spirit dealer in Dublin, had, some years ago, paid16s. 60. too much to the Excise, and not having'
in-
stituted proceedings within the three years reqUired, he
had been defeated in the Courts in Ireland, and, in con-
sequence of being so, bad presented a petition of, right
to the Queen, who bad directed " right to be done."
The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired what application
the Attorney-General wished to make to the Court?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the only claim
Mr. Dickson had against the Crown was for the 165.60.•
and he wanted the permission of the Court to pay that
amount to him.

At the suggestion of the LORD CHANCELLOR,. after
some short discussion, and Mr. Dickson not being pre
sent in Court,

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would give notice
to Mr. Dickson that he intended to apply to the Court
for leave t• pay him the 16s. GO., and thereby put se
end to proceedings which, if allowed
.to go on,, Would
probably incur an expense of 3001.

THE CORPORATION OF ROCHESTER V. LEE.
This case stood on the paper to be heard upon appeal
from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Knightarucet
refusing to grant a new trial. Upon the case being
called on,

Mr. LOFTIIB WIGRAM objected tak proceed with the
appeal, on the ground that the Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce had, since refusing the motion for anew trial, dir
missed the bill, and that therefore there was no cause in
court upon which to found the appeal motion.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after some discussion, decided
that he could not, hear the motion, and it was then ar-
ranged that a petition of re-hearing should be presented+
and the motion for a new trial should be heard at the'
same time.

The other Equity Courts were occupied the whole
morning with motions of no general interest.

QUEEN'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.)
No cases of the slightest public interest occurred
during the morning. The Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
and suite entered the Court at two o'clock, and, after the
usual ceremony, invited their Lordships to the banquet
to-night at Guildhall.

INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Tuesday last one of those
diabolical act', which it is so often our painful duty t°
relate, was perpetrated in the parish of Knapwell,
Bourn, Cambridgeshire, the seat of Lord'Delawarr. rlL'e
fire was first observed about twelve o'clock A.m., in tif
oat stack, at the extreme west end of a large rick-yar"
and as a brisk wind was blowing in that direction, elef,
tine stacks and ricks, together with stables and oilt,
buildings, were speedily consumed. Nothing was sail':
except three wheat cobs. The proprietor was from boil;
at the time, and no suspicion is entertained. Tlio Pr
petty was insured.
