This was the first day of Michaelmas term, and the
Lord Chancellor, in consequence of having to entertain
the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Queen's
Counsel to breakfast at his resid, nee, and having
also to approve of the Lord Mayor Elect, did
not take his seat in Westminster till shortly before two

- -
His Lordship, on taking his seat, proceeded to hear
motions, none of which possessed any points of interest.

ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
The MASTER of the RoLLs, on taking his seat to-day,
at two o'clock, in the Rolls' Court, Westminster, stated,
that it was his intention, in accordance with the
arrangements that had been entered into, to sit at
Westminster till Saturday next, after which he should
sit at the Rolls' Court, Chancery-lane, and should con-
tinue to do so till the Lord Chancellor sat in the House of
Lords, when ho would sit in his Court at Westminster.

We understand that it is arranged that all the
Equity Courts shall sit at Lincoln's Inn when the
House of Lords does not sit, and at Westminster
when it does.

Nothing particular occurred today in the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England's, or the Vice-Chancellors Wigram or
Knight Bruce's Courts.

This being the first day of Michaelmas term, Lord
Chief Justice Denman, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Jus-
tice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Erie took their seats
upon the bench shortly before two o'clock. Their Lord-

proceeded to hear motions, but no case of importance
came before the Court.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Baron Park, Mr.
Baron Alderson, and Mr. Baron Rolfe took their seats
upon the bench at quarter to two o'clock.

REEDY V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.

This action, which was brought to recover compensa-
tion for loss of life occasioned by: an accident on the
Leeds and Dewsbury line, was tried before Mr. Justice
Cresswell at the last Yorkshire assizes, and a verdict
found for the plaintiff.
Mr. KNOWLES, with the leave of the Learned Judge
who tried the case, moved for a rule to show cause why
the verdict should not be entered fur the defendant, or why
a nonsuit should not be entered, on the ground that the
company were not the responsible parties for the injury
sustained by the scold/ant.
The COURT granted a rule.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
The Judges who presided in this court 1, are Lord
Chief Justice Wilde, Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Jus-
tice William..

The CHIEF JUSTICE having intimated to Mr. Wal_
linger that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to
confer upon him the honour of Queen's Sergeant, re-
quested him to take his seat within the bar.
The Learned Gentleman bowed to the Bench and took
his place beside the rest of the learned gentlemen of the
first row.
The first case that was proceeded with was that of
Ebirfield v. True, which presented no feature of im-
portance.
A rule for a new trial was granted.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Under Sheriff 1311nonsta..)
AIMENCE OP WITNESSES.—There were two cases set
down for hearing, but after the jnry had been called it
was found that none of the witnesses were present.
The Learned UNDER ,VERIFY said that he could not
keep the jury waiting.
A solicitor said the notice of executing the writ stated
that it would take place between the hours of eleven and
one, and the witnesses might have considered they wero
not required to attend punctually at eleven.
The UNDER SHERIFF said he had nothing to do with
that; the cases were called on i❑ rotation, and if the par-
ties were not prepared the cases must be struck out.
This was accordingly done, and the witnesses were
called on their recognizances, and by non-attendance
have rendered themselves liable to all costs incurred
through their neglect.
