that the insertion of the master's name is not essential to
the validity of the bond, orders have been issued by the
Customs' authorities that the name of the master be in
future omitted altogether in such bonds, of which the
officers of the 'revenue at the various docks and deport-
ments in the port, and the collectors and comptrollers of
the Customs at the several outports of the United King-
dom, have been apprised for their future government in
the matter.

THE LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM, CLAPToN.—Mr.
Samuel Crickmar' senior clerk and book-keeper to the
eminent firm of Messrs. Ralli Brothers, of Finsbury-
aircus, lately died at Southgate from an attack of erysi-
pelas leaving property amounting to about 5,0004 to
the above excellent charity, after the death of his widow
and brother, who will enjoy the interest thereon during
their lives. The deceased was for many years a resident
at Hackney, in the vicinity of the asylum, and we, be-
lieve this noble act was quite unanticipated on the part
of the institution, to none of the officers of which had
he ever given the slightest intimation of his.generbus
intention.
JUSTICE TO THE Poon.—lt is to be regretted that,
in all public improvements, and the opening of new lines
of streets, the comfort of the poor and industrious classes
is not considered, as well as the architectural improve-
ment in the town. It is found that these. great streets
have not been formed without an increase of misery
amongst the poor, who were previously the occupiers of
the ground, and it seems never to have occurred to any
one, that there was a most favourable opportunity for
building dwellings on some principle such as we have
before r. commended. It is to be hoped that no future
occasion will be allowed to pass, of doing a simple act
of justice to those who are at present suffering from the
results of -late "improvements." Like certain attempts
at ventilation, which perhaps attain their object, but at
the expense of health, those streets have purified bad
neighbourhoods, shortened distances, and added,gtortheaenitthee.,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
PRIVY COUNCIL, Dec. 11.

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat
again to-day for the purpose of proceeding with the
further hearing of the arguments in the part-heard
appeal, " The Queen's Proctor v. The Solicitor of the
Duchy of Lancaster," from the Chancery of York. The
case, though it presents few facts of any interest to the
public, involves points of ecclesiastical law highly im-
portant to the Crown and the Duchy of Lancaster:
namely, whether the Crown or the Duchy of Lancaster
is entitled to take out letters of administration to an
intestate domiciled within the county palatine of Lan-
caster; and hence the present appeal, which is, in
act, an appeal by her Majesty, as Sovereign
against a decision in favour of her Majesty as Duchess
of Lancaster. The facts ef the case appear to be as
follow :—Anne Rothwell Wignall, commonly called
Anne Rothwell, died at Preston, in the County Palatine
of Lancaster, in December 1840, under the age of 21, a
spinster, and intestate. Being of illegitimate birth, she
left no heir or next of kin, but died entitled to personal
estate within the county of the value of 3,5001. and
upwards. Notice of the deceased's death having been
communicated to the Chancellor and Council of the
Duchy of Lancaster, her Majestj's warrant of the 28th
of may, 1842, which was countersigned by the Chan-
cellor of the duchy, was issued as usual fur obtaining a
grant of letters of administration of the intestate estate
to the then solicitor for the Duchy. In the meantime,
however, under the assumption that the property of the
intestate bad fallen to her Majesty in right of her Crown,
a warrant was issued on the 7th of April, 1842, counter-
signed by three of the Lords Commissioners of the
Treasury, for grant of letters of administration to George
Maule, as solicitor of the Treasury. In this state of
things proceedings were taken first in the Consistory
Court of Chester, where the Chancellor of the Diocese,
the Rev. H. Raikes, delivered an elaborate judgment in
favour of the Crown, which, on an appeal to the Chan-
cery of York, was reversed, and a decision pronounced in
favour of the Duchy ofLsncaster, and from that judgment
the present appeal was brought. Is thecourse of the argu-
ments several curious documents were referred to, and
among others the charter of Edward 111., of the 28th of
February 1377, from which the rights of her Majesty
ju~e ducatus within the county Palatine of Lancaster
arose, and by which the father of the Black Prince
created Lancaster a county Palatine, and granted to his
son John, Duke of that county. " That he for the
whole of his life may have within the county of Lan-
caster his chancery and his writs to be sealed under
his heal, to be deputed, for the office of the chancery, his
justices to hold as well pleas of the crown as all
other pleas whatsoever touching the coalmon law
and the cognisance thereof, and all manner of execution
to be made by his writs and his Ministers there, and all
other liberties and jura regalia pertaining to a Count
Palatine, as freely and entirely as the Earl of Chester is
well known to obtain within the same county of Chester,
saving always the tenths, fifteenths, and other contribu-
tions and subsidies granted and hereafter to be granted
to us and our heirs by the commonalty of our realm, and
the tenths and other contributions granted and here-
after to be granted to us by the clergy of the
same our realm, or imposed and to be imposed upon the
same clergy by the apostolic see, and the pardon of
life and limbs in case that any person of the same county,
or other person in the same county, ought for any
delict to lose his life or limb, and also the superiority and
power of correcting those things which shall have been
erroneously done there in the Courts of our same son,
or if our same son or his Ministers shall have failed in
doing justice there, also in the Courts of the same our
son." These powers and exceptions wire confirmed by
the son of the Black Prince when he ascended the
English Throne as Richard the Second, and both these
charters were referred to by the Queen's Advocate in
his arguments on behalf of the royal appellant, for the
purpose of showing that the right of the Crown, whether
by escheat or otherwise, to real or personal estate, was
not mentioned or included in the reservations made in
favour of the Crown.

The Queen's Advocate, the Solicitor-General, Mr. G.
Chilton, and Mr. Townahend were Counsel for the
Crown, and Mr. J. Parker, Mr. Ellis (Attorney. General
of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Dr. Jenner were in
support of the judgment of the Chancery of York.
. The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE occupied their Lordships
the whole of Tuesday with his arguments on behalf of
the Crown.

The SOLICITOR• GENERAL, following on the same side,
was heard on Wednesday.._

Mr. J. PARKER, on behalf of the Duchy of Lancaster,
was heard yesterday, and
Mr. Ews, on the same side, was partly heard.
Mr. Ews resumed, and concluded his arguments
to-day, and
The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE replied.
Counsel were then ordered to withdraw, and after the
lapse of upwards of an hour, were called in, and in-
formed by
Lord BROUGHAM that their Lordships would consider
the case before they gave judgment. The question,
which was a most important one, had been most ably
argued, but should their Lordships require any further
wisistance from counsel, due information should be given
them.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 11.
The Lord Chancellor sat tc day in his Court in the
Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn.
FINDEN V. STEVENS.—JUDGMENT.
his LORDSHIP gave judgment to-day in this case,
which came before his Lordship en Wednesday last,
upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor
of England, overruling a demurrer put in by the de-
fendant to the plaintiff's bill. The principal ques-
tion raised in this case was, whether a person
appointed by will to be the manager and receiver
of real estates had a right to !he offue, in opposition to
the wishes of the party beneficially interested in the
estate? Tin: facts out of which the suit arose may b
thus detailed :—A gentleman residing near Reading, o
the name of 13oshnell, by a will, mode in the year 1840,
gave all his real and copyhold estates in and near Read
tog, together pith estates in the county of Middlesex,
and a large amount of personalty, to J.ihn Stephen and
William Blendy, in trust to receive the rents and profits,
to pay to his widow an annuity of 1,0001., and to apply
the residue to the use of his four nieces for their lit es,
with remainder to their children. The testator gate a
legacy of 2001. to the plaintiff, Thomas Finden, and after
making some other dispositions of property, the
will thus proceeded And inasmuch as my estate
will require more management than I can expect of
my trustees personally to bestow upon it; my wish and
desire that the hereinbefore named Thomas Finden, of
Upper John- street, Fitzroy-square, architect and sur-
veyor, on whose judgment and integrity I have great
confidence, be appointed for all purposes for which
they or he, my trustees or trusteo, may have occasion
for an agent, receiver or manager of all, or any of my
estates and property. And in case the said Thomas
Finden should so desire not to act further in the said
office, then it shall be lawful for my said wife's niece
and the survivor, to appoint some other person to act
in the place of the said Thomas Finden."
The will also contained a clause that the trustees
and Finden should be answerable for the management;
and part of the property of the testator consisted of
thirty houses in Reading, and it appeared that the trus-
tees had declined to employ Fiuden, and had either
actually employed, or intimated an intention to employ,
another person. In this state of circumstances the bill
was filed fur a declaration of the Court to establish the
plaintiff's right, and for ati injunction to restrain the
trustees from appointing any other person to manage
the property of the testator. To this bill the trustees
put in a demurrer for want of equity, and upon that
demurrer coming on for argument before the Vice-
Chancellor of England, his Honour ordered it to be
overruled, being of opinion that there was an express
direction, in the plainest terms, of the testator, that
it was his desire that the plaintiff should be employed
if the trustees had occasion for an agent, manager, or
receiver, and from this judgment the present appeal was
brought. His Lordship to-day, after going through
some of the authorities that had been referred to by
Counsel in the course of the arguments, stated his opi-
nit ti clearly to be that the demurrer was sustainable, and
ought to have been allowed.
The effect of his Lordship's judgment, therefore, is to
reverse the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England,
and to put the plaintiff's bill, in its present shape, out
of Court.
6POTTISWOODR V. CLARE.—THE PICTORIAL ALMANAC.
Mr. STUART (with whom was Mr. Moore) moved this
morning. pursuant to notice. to discharge an order made
by the Vice-Chancellor of England, by which he conti-
nued an injunction he had granted ex parte, restraining
the defendant from publishing an almanac, called Old
Aloore's Pictorial Almanac, with a wrapper, which the
plaintiff alleged was a piracy of one used by himself, in
the publication of an almanac, which he called The Pic-
lorial Almanac. The plaintiff, as was stated upon the
application for the injunction to the Vice-Chancellor for
England, is the printer of the Parliamentary Record,
and the proprietor of the Pictorial Times and Pictorial
Almanac.

Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hubback supported Cie deci-
sion of the Vice-Chancellor.
The Lorin CHANCELLOR, without hearing Mr. Stuart
in reply, gave judgment, discharging the order of the
Vice-Chancellor, thereby dissolving the injunction, upon
the undertaking of the defendant to keep an account.
The plaintiff to be at liberty, if he should be so advised,
to bring an action to establish his right.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Dec. 11.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard
unopposed petitions, short causes, and cause petitions
to-day, none of which possessed any interest except to
the parties concerned.

- (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Wicasif.)
SHUTTLEWORTH V. BENGOUGH.
The arguments in this cause were resumed and con-
cluded to-day.
His HONOUR considered that the plaintiff was entitled
to one-seventh of the property in question, but he would
leave the other points at issue open to future proceedings.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE,.)
ARMSTRONG V. STOCKHOLM.
The object of this bill was two-fold, viz., to rectify en
error of the Master, and to enable Mr. Ellier, a solicitor
of the Court, to receive certain moneys standing to the
credit of the plaintiff in the cause.
It appeared that the plaintiff was one of four children
of aM. Martha Armstrong, and as such was entitled
joritto a moiety of hreersifieroupterty. upon his attaining his ma-

In opposition to the
confirmation of that report. certifiicates were ad-
duced, to show that the plaintiff was n 1822.
His HONOUR considered the evidence sufficient, and
granted the order required.
