LORD M?_:7OR'S DAY.

Sir Jar

de-
_Ales Duke entered upon his mayoralty to-
.y. Had custom permitted him to select a season
for his advent to the office of chief magistrate likely
to prow more auspicious than that at this season of
the year (b duly air and sunny skies) he could not,
out " of all the days of the year," have selected a finer
or more healthy one than this 9th of November. The
air was genial, the atmosphere nearly free from fog
and chilling vapours, as is the wont on Lord Mayors'
days, and to crown all the sun shone with resplendent
brilliancy. Hence citizens and suburbans came
forth in goodly array to behold the civic pageant, and
raise a cheer fur the new Lord Mayor, who adds to
his fair fame as a worthy citizen, a loyal subject, and
an enterprising merchant, the additional honour of
having served his country in the memorable siege of
Algiers, where, as we stated yesterday, "on that
stirring occasion it is much more likely Sir James
expected a cannon-ball for his portion, rather than
dream of becoming Lord Mayor of London."
We should premise, however, that the Lord Mayor
entertained his predecessor in the high office of Lord
Mayor, several Aldermen, and personal friends at
the Mansion-house to breakfast early this morning.
Heretofore a public breakfast has taken place on
the 9th of November in the Guildhall; this year it
has been abolished, in consequence of its materially
interfering with the arrangements for the banquet
in the evening. The breakfast referred to partook
altogether of a private character.
The Lord Mayor and party having attended the
Church of St. Lawrence, as usual, he proceeded to
the Guildhall. The procession started at twelve
o'clock precisely.
His Lordship on entering the state coach was
much cheered; so also was the late Lord Mayer.
The procession left in the following order :

The procession passed along King-street, Cheap-
side, Newgate-street, Skinner-street, Farringdon-
street, and New Bridge-street, to Blackfriars-bridge,
thence by water to Westminster, where his Lordship
arrived at half-past one o'clock.
His Lordship, who looked extremely well, was
much cheered along the entire route, more especially
whilst journeying through his own Ward of Far-
ringdon. Flags were hung from several of the
houses; scarcely a window was unoccupied, and the

cheering which greeted his Lordship from
house and road must have been most gra-
tifying. We never remember having seen so many
people in the streets on any former Lord Mayor's
day within our recollection. They were densely
crowded in every part, as much so as when her
:Majesty opened the Royal Exchange. The bridges
were also much crowded, and as his Lordship passed
below the arches, the spectators above gave him right
hearty cheers.

We should not omit to mention that a beautifully
constructed ship, fully rigged and actually manned,
emblematic of his Lordship's naval services, was
drawn on a car by six horses. The progress of the
vessel was hailed with much enthusiasm.
After the swearing in of the Lord Mayor, the
procession again took water. At the Obelisk, Bridge•
street, it was joined by the Ambassadors, her Ma-
jesty's Ministers of State, the nobility, judges, Mem-
bers of Parliament, and other persons of distinction
invited to the banquet.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor aat i❑ the Old llall, Lineoln'i
Inn to-day to hear appeal motions.

THOMAS V. THOMAS.—TIMGMENT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgtnent today in this
case, which came before him yesterday, upon appeal
from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.
The bill was filed by the widow of William Charles
Thomas against her nephew, the son of Thomas Hughes
Thomas, for an injunction to restrain proceedings at
law on a promissory note for 3001. Thomas Hughes
Thomas was a butcher in North Wales. He died in
1832, leaving two daughters and one son, the defendant
in the suit. The children being very young, William
Charles Thomas, who was their uncle, and asmall farmer,
took them to his house, and supported them until his
death in 1841. His widow, the plaintiff, being left in the
management of the farm at Tresselin, took the de-
fendant, then about twenty years of age, to be her
bailitl, and he continued in that capacity until February
1844, when he laid claim to a share of the assets of his
father, which, as he alleged, had passed into the hands of
his uncle, the husband of the plaintiff. Accounts were
produced and examined by Thomas Jones, her brother-
in law; and the result was that the plaintiff, on a repre-
sentation of 3611. Bs. being due, consented to sign a
promissory note for 3001. as a compromise. The bill
alleged that this note was signed in ignorance of the
state of the accounts or the nature of the claim;
that the plaintiff was unable to write her own name
without difficulty, and could not read the writing
of others; that the defendant not having taken out
representation to his father had no legal claim,
even if the liability of the plaintiff was established ; and
that at all events there must be an account taken, and a
set-off allowed for the maintenance of the children from
the year 1832. The bill was filed in November, 1845,
and on the answer coming in, the Vice-Chancellor, on
the merits confessed in it, granted an injunction until
the hearing of the cause, on the condition of the plaintiff
submitting to judgment at law. The cause was after-
wards heard, and his:Honour then vacated the judgment,
rj and dismissed the bill with costs, and against that judo
meat the plaintiff appealed to this branch cf the Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after going at some length
into the case, ordered the judgment of the Vice-Chaa-
cellor Knight Bruce to be affirmed with costs.
Appeal dismissed with costs.
STEPHEN FOX DICKSON V. THE QUEEN.—PETITION OZ
RIGHT.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who was in attendance in
court specially in the case of " The Corporation of
Rochester v. Lee," said that he wished, before he pro.
ceeded with that case, to make an application in a mattes
with respect to a petition of right. He had been served
with notice on the part of a gentleman named Stephen
Fox Dickson that it was his intention to apply to the
Court for a commission to examine witnesses under a
petition of right, in which her Majesty had commanded
right to be done. From the statements of the Learned
Attorney-General it appeared that Mr. Dickson, being a
spirit dealer in Dublin, had, some years ago, paid
16s. 6kd. too much to the Excise, and not having in-
stitut4d proceedings within the three years required, he
had been defeated in the Courts in Ireland, and, in con-
sequence of being so, had presented a petition of right
to the Queen, who had directed " right to be done."
The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired what application
the Attorney-Gener .1 wished to make to the Court?
The ATTORNEY.GENERIL said that the only claim
Mr. Dickson had against the Crown was for the 16s.
and he wanted the permission of the Court to pay that
amount to him.
At the suggestion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, after
some short discussion, and Mr. Dickson not being pre-
sent in Court,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would give notice
to Mr. Dickson that he intended to apply to the Court
for leave to pay him the 16s. 60., and thereby put an
end to proceedings which, if allowed to go on, would
probably incur an expense of 3001.
THE CORPORATION OF ROCHESTER V. LEE.
This case stood on the paper to be heard upon appeal
from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce,
refusing to grant a new trial. Upon the case being
called on,
Mr. LOFTUS WIGRAM objected to proceed with the
appeal, on the ground that the Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce had, since refusing the motion for a new trial, dis-
missed the bill, and that therefore there was no cause in
court upon which to found the appeal motion.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after some discussion, decided
that he could not hear the motion, and it was then ars
ranged that a petition of re-hearing should be:presented,
and the motion for a new trial should be heard at the
same time.
The other Equity Courts were occupied the whole
morning with motions of no general interest.
QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
No cases of the slightest public interest occurred
during the morning. The Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
and suite entered the Court at two o'clock, and, after the
venal ceremony, invited their Lordships to the banquet
to-night at Guildhall.

INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Tuesday last one of those
diabolical acts, which it is so often our painful di uty to
relate, was perpetrated in the parish of Knapwell, , near
Bourn, Cambridgeshire, the seat of Lord:Delawaw . The
fire was first observed about twelve o'clock A.m., in an
oat stack, at the extreme west end of a large rick-, yard,
and as a brisk wini was blowing in that direction, a haven
fine stacks aral ricks, together with stables an a out-
buildings, were sp, edily consumed. Nothing was saved
except three wheat cobs. The proprietor was from home
at the time, and no suspicion is entertained. Th o pro-
perty was insured.
