LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, May 5.
The Lord Chancellor, after diqusing of the Imp-
hear the further arguments in the part-heard appeal
of petitions in his paper to-day, proceeded to
!notion

HIGGINSON V. SHAND.
This case came before his Lordship upon an appeal
notice from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of Eug-
itahti:dproeyfauisißnagnkto:liLssivoel:peoaoni,ifnrjoumnction that had been ob-
tained ex pa rte by the plaintiff restraining the defendants,
to recover the sum of nearly 10UP,OrZediTngheagfabilnlostahiinmg
are the short facts of the case Out of which the appeal
arises:—The firm of Barton, Liam, and Iligginson, of
Liverpool, in the course of their dealings with the Royal
Bank of Liverpool, had become indebted to a consider-
able amount, and on the 21st of October, 1845, gave two
promissory notes for 30,0001 each, at six and nine
months after date respectively. Contemporaneously with
these notes the firm assigned to the plaintiff, who is the
brother of one of the partners, thirteen ships in trust to
secure the due ayment of the notes. On the 13th of
March, prior top he notes becoming due, the plaintiff, as
surety, gave to the bank a promissory note for 60,0004,
by way of security for the two notes given by the firm.
lie also wrote a letter, in which he guaranteed the pay-
ment of the notes at their maturity. When the notes
fell due they were not paid; bat the bank, at the instance
of the firm, renewed the notes, and altered the gua notes
of the plaintiff so as to extend to a renewal of
the notes.
The second part of the transaction was as follows:—The
firm undertook to pay into the bank 70,000/., by two
banTkhbey
instalments, and the bank, on the plaintiffguaranteeing
to secure payment of whatever balance should be
due at the end of August, 1847, agreed to answer

ap-
pealed to this branch of the
which the Vice-Chancellor of England

Mr. bolt and Mr. Prior having been heard on behalf
of the appellants, the Royal Bank of Liverpool,
BETHELL, on behalf of the respondent, suggested
that any order the Court might make upon the appeal
motion would be of no avail, inasmuch as the time within
which the appellants could sue out a fiat of bankruptcy
(two months) had ru❑ out, and the only course therefore
left for the party was to file a supplemental bill.
The Loan CHANCELLOR allowed this course to be
adopted, giving leave to the plaintiff to file a supplemental
bill if it was necessary.

TRANSFER OF CAUSES.
The following important notice with respect to the
transfer of causes was put up in his Lordship's Court to-
day, signed by the principal regis rar, Mr, Colville :
"Any causes standing in the list of the Vice Chancellor
of England (including further directions), which the
several parties desire to be heard immediately, may,
notwithstanding any order to the contrary, be transferred
to the Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce and Wigram, on
application, by consent of all parties interested, to the
Registrar."

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 5.
The Court took the special 'paper to-day. As usual,
no cases of the slightest public interest came on for
argument.

BAIL COURT, May 5.
(Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
SPARROW V. WRAY.
Mr. Ikon HILL moved for a rule calling upon the
Judge of the County Court of Sussex to show cause why
a mandamus should not issue commanding him to give
effect to an order which he had made in this case in
December last directing the defendant to pay the plain-
tiff's debt. The facts of the case were these. On the
18th of October, 1847, the plaintiff sued out his plaint
for the sum of 201, and on the 12th of November the
cause was heard at the Town hall, Brighton, and judg-
ment given for the plaintiff for the full amount, with
21. 4s. 6d. costs. Subsequently the judge made an order
fur a new trial, directing that the second trial should
take place before the jury, and ordering the defendant
to pay 31. 6r. 6d., being the costs of the former trial and
of the application for the new trial. At the first trial,
which was not before a jury, the defendant and his wife
gave evidence, but the evidence, taken together, was so
contradictory that the judge found for the plaintiff. At
the second trial, however, only the wife was examined,
and upon the strength of' her testimony the jury returned
a verdict for the defendant. At this stage of the pro-
ceedings the plaintiff discovered that the judge had
exceeded his powers in directing the second trial to be
had b. for. o jury, inasmuch or the Act uf
Parliament required that upon either party
wishing the case to be tried by a jury he should give
the other two clear days' notice of his intention to
summon the jury. In this case that had not been done,
and the Judge insisted that he had a discretionary power
to order a caie to be tried by a jury without reference to
the wishes of either side.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE inquired if the plaintiff ac-
cepted the costs and attended the second trial.
Mr. !Inuit HILL replied that he did, but it was in
ignorance of the law.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said the point involved in the
case was certainly an important one, but he was afraid
if he granted a rule it would be got rid of without argu-
ment by the other side, urging that the plaintiff having
accepted the costs and attended the new trial, he had
virtually acqui•-•sced in the irregularity of the proceeding.
The rule was accordingly re used.
