CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The Lord Chancellor sat today in the Old Hall,
Lincoln's Inn, at half-past 10 o'clock.
His, Lordship, after _ disposing of the unopposed
lunatic petitions in his paper, proceeded to hear the fur-
ther arguments in the part- heard appeal-motion of

HAWLEYAND COMPANY V. THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE

RAILWAY COMPANY.

This ease came before his Lordship upon appeal from
the decision of the Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce, or-
dering the submission to an award to be made a rule of
Court. The plaintiffs were the proprietors of a colliery
and wharf, part of the latter of which was required of
the company for the purposes of their railway. The
plaintiff claimed the sum of 3,3881. as compensation
for the land, and the Company thinking the demand of
the plaintiff exorbitant, the matter was referred to ar-
bitration. The company and the plaintiff had executed
the deed of appointment for arbitration which of the
Lands Clauses Consolidation Act was deemed to be a
submission. That deed had been lost or mislaid, but in
the appointment of the umpire it was set forth by way
of recital. The Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce ordered
the submission to the award to be made on rule of
Court, and the present appeal motion was against that
order.

The arguments occupied the Court the whole
morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
The further arguments in the part•heard cause of
Fisher v. Price occupied his Lordship the Master of the
1 0113 the whole morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His Iknour the Vice-Chancellor of England was oc-
cupied the whole morning with unopposed cause pcti-
lions, short cause and cause petit irns.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SEEPIIERD.)
IN RE ASHLEY.

This bankrupt was described as of Fleet-street, car-
rier, and to-day was appointed for an audit and certifi-
cate. The bankrupt, it will be remembered, was cne of
the managers or directors of the Parcel Post Delivery
Company.
The case was called on at half-past eleven, the bank-
rupt and his solicitor being in attendance, in consequence
of the notice in the newspapers that the protection and
notices fixed half-past two o'clock for the time.
The Registrar said half• past eleven was the proper
time, and asked if any creditors opposed the certificate
and there being no answer the certificate was granted.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
REPTON V. WHITMARSII.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
51. 95., for goods sold and delivered. The plaintiff is a
boot maker and the defendant is an attorney.
The defendant suffered judgment to go by default, but
a difficulty arose in provingthe delivery and value of the
goods.
The plaintiff's attorney called witnesses to prove the
delivery of an account to the defendant; but
The Learned SECONDARY said that the account could
not be put in evidence, as no notice had been given to
the defendant to produce the one deliver( d to him.
The clerk to the plaintiff's attorney was called, and
proved that he called on the defendant on the subject,
and defendant said that he would take out a summons to
stay the action and pay the money within four days.
No sum was mentioned, as the amount was on the
The SECONDARY held that, as no sum was mentioned,
this could not be taken as an admission; there must be
evidence of the delivery of the goo Is and their value,
of which at present the evidence was very meagre. It
was, however, enough to go to the jury. In all such
cases it would be better to give notice to produce the
accounts.

The jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed.
The other cases were devoid of interest.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
George Cooke, a youth of about seventeen, was charged
with throwing a stone from the first floor window of the
house No. 7, Strand, at a police-constable on duty in the
street below during the riots of Tuesday, the 7th inst.
Policeman B 5 said, that he was on duty on tho day in
question in Trafalgar-square and the Strand, and saw
Policeman Gough, B 5o engaged, with others, in clear-
ing a mob from before the house No. 7. That was the
house of Mr. Baxter, parasol maker. While 850 was
thus occupied, the prisoner appeared at the window and
threw a stone at him which struck him on the breast.
shortly afterwards another young man appeared at the
same window, and threw a stone at another constable,
which took effect, knocking his hat off.
Gough, B 50, corroborated this statement. The
second stone was thrown by a youth named Townshend.
Some of the people hissed, cried " Shame!" and pointed
to the window, and the prisoner and Townshend again
appeared at the window laughing and using gestures of
defiance.
The prisoner said it was not a stone, but a crust of
bread, that he threw at the constable. Townshend had
nothing to do with it.

Mr. Baxter, in whose employment the prisoner has
been for about eleven months, Savo him a good cha-
racter. He supposed this must have been an act of
playfulness, though he did not set that up as a justi-
fication.

Mr. JARDINE remanded him till a warrant should be
taken out against T6wubhend, and he also should be
brought here.
In the course of the day several householders of St.
Paul's, Covent•garden, were sworn in as special con-
stables.

MARLBRO'7STREET-(THIS DAY)

There was nothing of the least public importance
before the Court this morning, the whole time of the
Magistrate being occupied in swearing in special con-
stables. The Duke of Norfolk, accompanied by his son
the Earl of Surrey, were in attendance, and were duly
sworn in,
