Lord Langdale, having disposed of several consent peti-
tions, proceeded to hear short causes, of which there was a
considerable number on the list.
RYVES V. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
Mr. TURNER, who appeared for the defendant in this case,
to which there was a demurrer, said that as some very im-
enilis:\ti Tine: t,ligoln.t to fivepbeportant questions might arise in this case, which would re-
quire a little consideration, he had to apply to the Court for
a short postponement of the hearing.

sented,
His Lorrnsmr directed the cause to stand over till Saturn

Mr(.SGitotinnsgosNi,n Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
SOUTH. EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
Qs-", applied to the Court fur a rule to show
cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to the
South-Eastern Railway Company, calling on them to pay

England the sum of 10

Eastern Company Were asked to pay the money. The appli-
cation was made to the solicitor of the company, the person
to whom under the Act the application should be made but
no answer was received, and the application was renewed. In
answer to that application a letter was received from the
company's solicitor, stating that he was sorry that the pay-
ment of the 10,0001. had been delayed, but it had passed the
finance committee and board, and a cheque fur the amount
should be ready on the following Friday. The money was
not forthcoming on that, day, and another application was
made, the answer to which stated that the c'3Eque was ready
and would be forwarded. As the money was not forth-
coming, and as it was necessary that their Lordships—who
had waited as long as their duty would permit—should have
the money to be applied to the purpr.,ses alrlady stated, it
became necessary fur them to make this application to the
Court.

Mr. Ju6tice COLERIDGE—Take a rule,
IN RE GfiAMIIARS V. 'WILTON.

The Sommort-GliiimeAr, applied to the Court to revise
certain judgments which had been. given by Mr. Chambers
to a Mr. Wilton, and also for a writ of sore facies, to make
the assignee of Mr. Wilton, under the Insolvent Debtors'
Act, a party to those judgments
It appeared that Mr. Wilton had for some years acted as
attorney for Mr. Chambers, who was a banker, and against
whom a munias.ion bankruptcy had been ia:ared, and had
received four warrants of attorney on which judgment had
been entered up. It was in respect of one (f these warrants
that the present application was made. One of these war-
rants was a bond, under a penalty of 1,000/., to indemnify
Mr. Wilton against certain costs in an action which was
then pending, and also in certain other proceedings involving
the validity pf the bantrttptcy ag,ipst Qiunbers. An-
other of them was a bend'," under a pe,:alty of 10,00 X, to
secure 5,0001. by way of gift or gratuity to'Mr. Wilton, in
respect of certain services which he had Derformetl, and cite
two other judgments were simply for costs!,:onefo,r a stun of
between 4,000/. and 5,0001.; arid the other for 3,00/. fur
cost due from Alr. Chambers to ni certain
Chancery proceedings, Judgment wad entered on all these
warrants, and as 'bey remained unsatisfied, in January,
1837, a rule was obtained calling on Mr; rilt.oirl to
show cane why judgement aliorricl not be "vacated. The
ground on which 'the. apPiication was made was, that at
the time these coats were incurred Mr. Wilton
was not an attorney duly qualified to act in that Court, or
at the time when the warrants were made. The matter was
discussed in that Court, and the rule was made absolute for
vacatina the jridgments, with a qealifieation that they were
to be referrefi to the Master to ascertain how much was due
from Mr. Chambers to Mr. Wilton for money actually paid,
and subjecting these warranty to thc.s. payment of whatever
money might be due ripen that ground. The matter was
referred to the Master, and it seemed that from 7001. to 001.
were dare from Mr. Chambers to pa. Wilton for money paid.
After that Mr. Chambers proceeded in Chancery against Mr.
Wilton, in order to have that sum still fArther reduced, and
to obtain an order of the Court to ascertain how much of this
7001. was for business done in the Court of Chancery, when
Mr, Wilton was duly qualified to practise as an attorney.
To questlon was un6pr a dem..tat order of the Court referred
to a Master, and the result was that instead of 700/., only
l ills was found to be due from Mr. Chambers to Itr. Wilton,
and wordipAly A deers,: wad obtained that on payment of
that sum satisfaction should be entered upon the warrants.
In the meantime Mr. Wilton had assigned two of these
jttdappenta to a gentleman named Greene, whp was conse-
quently interested in these proceedings, and would of
course be entitled to some portion of the 111/.
Mr. Wilton took the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act
end a Mr, Sturges was 4pPoillteil a 4 his assignee. The
result was that Mr. Wilton, who was entitled to the pay-
ment of 111/. before Mr. Chambers could enter or cause to be
entered satisfaction on the warrants, ceased to have any inte-
rest in them, as hp had subscribed them to Mr. Greene and
to his assignee. Mr. Chambers was perfectly willing to pay
the 1111., but could only pay it on satisfaction being entered
on ebese judgments. only
the other hand Mr. Greene was
willing to arrange his claims, and Mr. Sturges, the assignee,
was willing to cancel the judgments on the receipt of I
An application was made by Mr, Chambers some time since
to enter up judgment on payment of 111/., but the objection
was that it was a proceeding for the Court of Chancery, and
the rule was accordingly discharged. The present applica-
tion was made on behalf of Mr. Wilton's assignee in order
that judgment might be entered up, and the 111/., subject to
the claim of Mr, Greene, should be paid to him to distribute
amongst the creditors of Air. Wilton, for be could not obtain
the money except on satisfaction being ent, reel. This tran-
saction took place 15 years ago, and the present application
was made to revive these judgments and to make Mr. Sturges
a party to them. The only question was whether under
these circumstances it was necessary to have a rule nisi to
show cause, or to serve a rule op Mr. Wilton to enable him
to show cause.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—To avoid any trouble you ha(
better take a rule to show causo.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Baron ALDEnsoN.)
SLACK V. FRANCIS.
This was an action brought to recover the possession of
certain deeds which had been placed in the defendant's hands
for the purpose of raising money on a bill, the deeds being
placed. as the defendants considered, as a collateral security.
The plaintiff, before the money was advanced, changed his
intention, and demanded the repossession of the documents,
but the defendant Francis refused to deliver them unless he
was paid his costs.

The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff of 400/., the
payment of which was to be enforced, if the defendant did
not give up possession of the deeds.

WINTERBURN V. BROOKS AND °TITERS.
This was an action brought to recover damages which the
plaintiff had sustained, by means of an assault committed,
and false imprisonment sustained, at the instance of the
defendants.

It appeared, from the evidence for the plaintiff, that Mr.
Winterburn happened to have a very ill-conducted youth for
a son, who was accustomed to keep very bad company, and
on the day in question, the 21st of December last, the son
bad stolen from his home, to go to his usual haunts, and Mr.
Winterburn followed to drive him home. It happened whilst
he was administering chastisement with a strap, which was
shown to be by no means grievous, Mr. Brooks, a Mr. Wil-
kinson, and a Mr. Herbert, seized hold of Mr. Winterburn,
shook him, and led him by the collar to the station-house.
[The Court then rose to enable his Lordship to attend the
Crown cases.]

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court, which rose at an early hour, was engaged dur-
ing its sitting in hearing motions which were of no interest
whatever but to the parties concerned.
