CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

MYERS V. PERAYGILL.-ETUDGMENY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this
morning, gave judgment in this case, which he stated
was au appeal from Viee•Chancellor Knight Bruce, and
which was argued before his Lordship last term. He
had determined, as the judgments in cases of joint-stock
companies had been so varied, to submit the case to a
court of law for the Judges' opinion upon tho Act of
Parliament. This was a case of great importance, and
he thought—although if he was called upon he would
give judithent-L-that the better course to b.-. 1 adopted was
that which he had suggesicd. The common Law Judges'
opinion could, owing to the advanced state of business in
Westminster4Jall, be obtained in the course of three or
four weeks, and the expenses would be very trifling, as
'.here would be only two counts wanted in the case, one
on either side.
Mr. STUART said that if his Lordship had no objec-
tion they would rather have the opinion of the Court
up o the case.
His LORDSHIP asked if it was likley that his opinion
would be appealed against, and being :answered in the
offineative, stated that the case ho had suggested would,
he thought, be the most satisfactory. if any of the
parties concerned wished for the opinion of thc Judges
:hey had a right to have it.
After some further discussion, it was ordered that
the etue be taken to the common law courts for the
opinion of the Judges.—Judgment accordingly.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY)
THE OVERSEERS (.1' STORE•UPON TRENT V. FLOWER.
Mr. WHEATLEY, Q.C., applied for a rule calling upon
the trustees of Stcke-upon•Treat to shoW cause why
they should not issue a distress warrant against a poor-
rate defaulter. The magistrates had been requested to
issue the warrant, but instead of complying with the
requezt in the manner the Poor-law Act provided, they
enter( d into a discussion as to the validity of the tate,
and ultimately reused the warrant. Now the duty of
the justices was merely ministerial, and they had there-
fore no power or authority to dispute the validity of the
rate. That was left to the rate-payer, who ought to
have appealed against the rate at the proper time, if it
was invalid, but be had neglected to do that, and conse-
quently the magistrates had no alternative but to issue
the warrant if they wished to comply with the Act of
Parliament.
Mr. Justice ERLE granted a rule to show cause.—Rule
Nisi accordingly.

THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.--Admiral Beaufort,
hydrographer to the Admiralty, and Mr. Robert Stephen-
son, have made a report on the rival plans for constructing
the Birkenhead Docks, which we trust will cause them to
be formed in the manner best calculated to develop the ad-
vantages of Birkenhead, and most conducive to the prosperity
of the great port of the river Mersey. They have reported
in favour of the plans of Mr. Rendel, which were formed on
a mature consideration of all that was requisite to develop
the natural advantages of Birkenhead, and against those
of Mr. Abernethy, which were formed with the view of
finishing the works at the least possible cost.—Liverpool

NEWS FROM THE GOLD REGIONS.-SYDNET, AUG.
18. —We talk about nothing here but the gold rei,:ionF. At
Frederick's Valley the gold diggers are doing wonders. I
have this evening seen a letter from a gentleman of respec-
tability, who is staying there, to a friend in Bathurst, in
which he states that two men named Haghan have procured
1501. worth of gold in two days, and 'that they picked up
two lumps weighing each and 14 ounces. A great num-
ber of the diggers are doing remarkably well. Three sailors,
who a fortnight since arrived from Sydney, have procured
600/. worth of gold from the claim they are now working
near the Wallaby rocks. It is reported that at Maitland a
new gold field has been discovered. Maitland is said to be
some 60 miles from Sydney.
