CHAN CERY.-(THIS DAY.)
This was the first day of Hilary Term, but, in cones'
quence of the regulations adopted during the time 14";
Earl of Cottenham was Chancellor, no public break
at the house of the Lord Chancellor took place, and In
Equity Courts, instead of sitting at two o'clock, resumed
business at ten o'clock, not at Westminster, but Linoo,lll,l
Inn. The Lord Chancellor took his seat in the
Hall, Lincoln's Inn, shortly after ten o'clock, and heard
appeal motions. The part-heard appeal motion °f
" Stuart v. Lloyd," cocupied his Lordship the vol°l
morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
His Lordship the Master of the Rolls heard mot"):
to-day, it being the first day of Hilary Term. This
the first day of his Lordship sitting since the Christras°
recess.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE )
EVANS V. PROTHERO/4.
This motion, which was specially appointed for to'
day, occupied the Court the c! hole morning.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Lord CRANwonTrt.)
His Lordship having disposed of the cases " I°'„
Capper," " In re Sherwood Loan Society," " Goodeo.r,;
Little," and " Hawkins v. Gathersole," proceeded
hear motions, which occupied him the remainder of t""
day.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY).
(Sittings in Banco, at Westminster, before Lord CAll'ci
BELL, and Justices PATTESON, COLERIDON, gin
WIGIITMAN.)
This was the first day in Hilary Term. The Judge!
took their seats on the bench a few minutes after teP
o'clock.

ONSTRUCTION IN PARLIAMENT-STREET.

On their Lordships taking their seats,
Lord CAMPBELL, who was labouring under 200
degree of excitement, said, with very marked emphasiot
that before proceeding with the business of the court, he
thought it absolutely right and necessary to call Wen'
tion to the serious obstructions which at present inv.
peded the access to the court, which could not be sr
prose hod without the greatest possible inconvenience
and danger. Those obstructions nearly amountedZ
an obstruction of justice. Neither the judges, la
counsel, the attorneys, nor the suitors, c()%f
get to Westminster-hall without the peril hi
their lives. tae (Lord Campbell) thought it Ito
to say that the Court had the remedy in its °it,
hands, and if those obstructions were not removed,
should think it the duty of the Court summarily 10 v
tertero and remove them.
The gentlemen of the bar rose and bowed in ac..
quiescence with the Lord Chief Justice's complain&
THE QUEEN V. SWINBURNE AND OTHERS.
Mr. WEBSTER said this was an application which "
ed
before Mr. Justice Patteson at chambers, respec&tea
writ of scire facies to repeal certain letters patent. nf
(Mr. Webster) had to apply to set aside that writ
scire facias on the ground of irregularity and of
to
being a writ which their Lordships would not allow
exist; and the grounds of irregularity were threefoldl,
first, as to the direction and return of the writ; seconvi:
that there was a disclaimer which was enrolled, will°,
was not set out, and which therefore was a writ to see:-
tain extent fraudulent, whilst it embarrassed the de;
fendants in pleading to it; and thirdly, that the writ
contained no less than eighteen suggestions, eleven o,'
twelve of which were wholly immaterial, and were otoi
intended to embarrass the defendants. This was the Orsd
time tha: an application of this kind had been made, 01)h
it arose under a recent Act of Parliament, 12th and 13'"
Vic , c. 109 , which was passed in order that the 01°3;
brous machinery of the Petty Bag-ollice of the Court 0'
Chancery should be abolished, and the whole of the Pro-
ceedings transferred to the common law courts.
The COURT granted a rule.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY V. BURNSID.

JUDGMENT.
ag
Mr. Baron PARKE said, in this case w
, which „f
brought by a railway company to recover the amount -
certain calls, a rule had been obtained and argued to
enter the verdict for the defendant. It appeared th:f
defendant was the holder of twenty shares,
20/. each, in the company, on which four a
were made. After the first call he becn7
a bankrupt, viz., on the 13th of February, 18,;400
As to the first call, therefore, there could be no ques'ne
that the plaintiffs were clearly not entitled to rece"-
damages. With regard to the subsequent calls, it wattis
contended on the part of the defendant that 'Pa
assignees had taken possession of the; shares
so-
which were consequently vested in them by the he
of bankruptcy, and that the defendant was no longer t,"„t
holder of the shares, and could not be rendered liable '",
any calls made upon him by the company. The iLurfj
were of opinion at the trial, that sufficient evidence I,
not been adduced to prove the full assignment Of
shares to the assignees, and accordingly came to a 011,
elusion to that effect. The question then for 10
0
Court to decide was whether this debt W
provable under the fiat. Their Lordships thought it w„.ei,
quite clear the debt was one payable in luturo, and theAr-
fore could not be a debt capable of being proved under
the bankruptcy. When the defendant took up the sh'ir'ed
he agreed to pay such sum or sums as might be requifnd
from time to time by the directors, the amount heAZ
regulated by the wants of the company, and notes
exceed a certain sum. At the timo of bankruptcy it cgv
wholly doubtful what sales would be made and what d°,9
would become due. The defendant was therefore in
same position as a lessee who became a bankrupt. if f
made a contract to pay rent for a certain number
years, it could not be said the amount of rent wiped
would become payable in future years was to be prof°
as a debt under the gat. Upon these grounds the COI!,
were of opinion the rule to enter the verdict for the "'"
fen discharged.

NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY v. MiMICHAEL--JUDGOI
This was also an action to recover calls due nu rail'
way shares, to which the defendant pleaded he /1"

Mr. Baron PARKE delivered judgment in favour of the
plaintiff.
BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE RAILW*I

COMPANY V. PILCHEIt—JUDGMENT.
IL this case, which also involved a question as to the
liability of the defendant, who pleadei infancy, to pfli
the calls on shares in the above company, but in wh
the pleas were differently drawn up,
Mr. Baron PARKE said that the Court were of opiniei:
that the rule to enter a verdict for the defendant shoo
be made abiolute.—Bole absolute.

BUCKLEY V HARBOUR.
In this ease the rule was made absolute.

COMMON PLEAS.-•—(T HIS DAY')
(Sittings in Banco.)
SHARPE, CLERK, AND OTHERS, 11. THE INHANITAN. CF
-
HoRBURY.
Mr. H. BILL applied to the Court for a rule to shoe
cause why a prohibition shou!d not be issued agaills&
Bishop of Ripun and other persons to prevent any f°`
thor proceedings in the Coneistory Court of that dioceso
in the case of Sharpe and thhers v. the Inhabitants Of
Horbury. The present motion was made ou behalf of
Mr. J. Francis Carr, a niaQ:istrafe and deputy-lieutentso
of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and au inhabitant
of the village of Horbury. This gentleman stated in
his affidavit that the chapel of Horbury was on
ancient chapel, and that in the year 1794 it Was re-
