IN RE LORD WARD.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL wished, before the proceed-
ings of the day were entered upon, to recall to his Lord-
ship's attention the case of Lord Ward. It was hoped,
he said, that an arrangement would have been
made, which would have prevented the Court from
having heard any more of this marter, but that arrange-
ment had not been effewed. Neither upon the proceedings
which had taken place in this Court, nor upon the
proceedings before the Mister of the Rolls, had any order
been drawn up. There was a dispute about the guardian.
ship and the maintenance, and it was proposed that an
early day sthoild be fixed for bringing the whole subject
under his Lordship's notice, and having the direction of
the Court thereon.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said be would let the parties
know on what day he could take it. He was sorry to
hear that it was found necessary to bring it before the
Court again.

Mr. KNIGHT hoped that the matter might be discussed
in private.

LORD CHANCELLOR bad no objection to that; be
thought it a fit case for it.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that at present he
did not offer any opposition to that, but he was not autho-
rized to consent to it.

VICE-CHANCERY CO ITR•r.-(THIS DAY.)

TOUCIIET V. UTON.

This was the petition of a lady named Frances Mary
Touchet, playing for the transfer to her of two sues of
money, 13,0001. and 4951., in the bands of the Ac-
countant-General. The bill was filed for the administra-
tion of the testator's estates, who, by his will, after giving
an annuity to his widow, left the residue of his property
to his two children, of whom the petitioner was the
youngest. Mr. Touchet, the elder child, having attained
his age, had received his part of the residue out of Court.
The petitioner had also attained her majority, and the ob-
ject of the present petition was the payment to her of her
share of the residue. I❑ cons( quence of the absence of
the clergyman from home a certificate could not he ob-
tained of the young lady's age. That, however, could be
procured on Monday, if the Court wou:d mike the order,
subject to its not being drawn up till the production of the
certificate.
HIS HONOUR made the order.
EX PAItTE THE RECTOR OF ST. PAUL, SIIADWELL.

well, for a reference to the Master to inquire whether a

tain surplus motleys. By an Act of the 7th George IV.,

The
purpose was to be raised in a rer sin manner /mitred out
by the Act; the old buildings were to be sold, anti the
surplus was to be invested in the purchase of a freehold
estate. The parsonage-house had been completed, and ali
the provisions of the Act complied with, and there now
remained a surplus in the hands of the Accountant. General
of upwards of 1,5001. A treaty bad been entered into
for the purchase of a freehold estate, and tie object of the
present petition was to ascertain whether that would be a
tit and proper investment.

SPECIAL INJUNCTION.•—JOLLY V. WILLEY.
Mr. GELDAKT applied exparte on behalf of the plaintiff
for a special injunction, restraining the defendant from
accepting, drawing, or negotiating any bills in the name
of the partnership, or doing any a. -t fur which it would
become liable. From the statements of the "Aimed
Counsel, the bill, and the affidavit•, it appeared that in
the month of January, 1832, the defendant, who then
carried on the business of a chyrnist, druggist, oilman, and
dealer in Mediterranean produce, represented to the plain-
tiff that his business might be considerably increased with
more capit 11, and proposed to take him into partnership
if he would advance 1,000/. From the representations
of the delendant the plaintiff got his friends to advance
the money, and they entered into partnership under the
firm of Jolly and Co. One of the stipulations of the
articles of pirtnersbip was that neither party should draw
any note or security for the payment of money for which
the partnership was not to receive valuable consideration.
Shortly after the commencement of the partnership tie
plaintiff discovered that the defendant's representations as
to his credit and circumstances were altogether erroneous,
that lie had considerable difficulty in meeting the demands
of his creditors, and, on the plaintiff remonstrating with
him, lie assured him that his difficulties were only of a
temporary nature, and induced him to advance large sums
out of the partnership fund to relieve him from those
difficulties. Those sums were to be paid by bills drawn
by the defendant, payable to the partnership. Differences
arose between the plaintiff and defendant ; Jolly, it was
agreed, should manage the money transactions of the
partnership. Various hills were accepted by the
defendant which were paid away by the plaintiff. The
difficulties of the defendant, instead of decreasing, increased
upon him ; he became totally unable to meet the demands
of his creditors, and, as stated by the affidavit of the
plaintiff, was in a most desperate state of insolvency. On
the plaintiff refusing to make further advances, the defen-
dant threatened, if he did not return, all the bills lie hid
accepted payable to the partnership, to ruin him by
accepting bills in the name of Jolly and Company. Under
these circumstances, the bill was filed for the dissolution of
the partnership, and the present motion made for the
injunction.

His HONOUR thought that sufficient bad been stated to
justify the interference of the Court, and ordered the in-
junction to issue.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

:Nisi Prius Sittings at Weittninster before Mr. Baron

NOGUESS V. WROTTON.
_ _

Mr. liurcuzsoN stated this —action was brought by
the petitioner, a foreigner, to recover 231. Si., for work
done by him on the defendant's account.

It appeared that the defend int had a cause in Chancery
respecting a will. He was told that the wife of the
plaintiff, who was a Spanish Refugee, could give him
some important information, and was introduced for tha.
purpoie. The petition then represented that the person
from whom she could get the information resided at Lynn,
and a string of questions to be answered was drawn up by
the defendant. On the evidence it appeared that Mrs.
Sergeant, from whom the information was to be got,
lived only next door to the plaintiff; neither could the
plaintiff make out that any thing hail been done, except
an admission by the defendant, which was proved by'
Mr. Wallis, the clerk of the plaintiff's attorney.
Mr. PLATT addressed the jury for the defendant, but

had not got far when he was interrupted by the jury, who
said they had made up their minds.
Counsel for the plaintiff preferred to be called, and las
was nonsuited.

At the sitting of the Court, shortly after nine o'clock,
the usual proclamations having been made, several gentle

to claim exemptions on various grounds. Many gentlemen
urged their advanced years, and others bodily infirmities,
and for these reasons were excused. The attendance of
jurors was numerous, and consequently but few person.
were fined for non-attendance.
