COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS

/,'S)

HARMS V. THE riANt OF ENGLAND.
The hearing of " Leith v. Irvine," which has occupied
two or three whole days, was interrupted by an applies-
tion in this case for an injunction.
Mr. Prrrs appeared for Messrs. Harris, who are the
assignees of Matthie and Co., bankrupts, who carried on t?
business at Liverpool. The facts have been fully brought.
before the public upon the recent discussions of the cage
tie Vice-Chancellor's Court, therefore it is unnecessary oZ.
detail them all now. About 9,000 dollars had been
home from the Brazils by one of the Matthies and by
William B. Cotter, in the Rinaldo and Swallow, to be
deposited in the Bank of England in the names and fur
the respective shippers. When Matthie arrived here he
fund a cemmission of bankruptcy had been issued aeainst
him and his house, consequently he could lay no claim to
his share of the dollars. It was supposed that Cotter
'.ad only been made the nominal proprietor of the bullion,
that in point of fact it was all Mattbie's that Cotter's
name bad only been used to cover a fraud, and that he was
to be a trustee for Matthie ; therefore the plaintiffs aop!ied
erparte to his Honour for an injunction to restrain the
Bank of England from parting with the bullion to Mr.
Cotter. The injunction issued. but was afterwards dis-
solved upon the answer coming in. Application was
instanter made to th;s branch of the Court to
ave the injunction renewed. His Lordship could not hear
the motion then, but directed that the Bank !slaoil.l not
part with the money till today—hence the application
this morning. Mr P. pys stated, that since the case was br-
f re hi, Honour the plaintiff+ had amended their bill for the
perpose of being able to bring forward the new evidence of
c stain letters; but as the affidavit in support of that
evittence was only filed this morning, S r Edward
Sugden objected, and Mr. P pys was put to open the
to tion on the o d bill, and upon the evidence that
was in the Court below. The Lord Chancellor, how-
ever, considered it so important that his mind should ha
A isfied upon whether the letters ought now to be let in
or not, and he directed the case to stand over till to-
morrow morning, that he might have the opportunity of
looking iota authorities. His Lordship o. served, that if
he let in these letters, then be would have to give time to
the o her side to answer the new evidence if tiny could,
and that in that case he certainly would not continue to
detain the hul ion in the bank's hands ad interim, but let
it go upon Mr. Cotter's giving security, becau-e the Mer-
cantile existence of a inan might be destroyed, by locking
up a large sum, even for a very short time, by the in-
junction of this Court
