EASTWOOD V. GLENTON.

—...,...
Mr. DIXON moved to discharge an order for referring the
Bills of Costs of a Solicitor for taxation. to
Mr. BETHYLL took a preliminary objection to the hearing
the motion. It was a motion to discharge an order which 11341
been obtained upon petition at the Rolls, and it was not coo,'
petent to move to discharge that order so obtained—the Pl*
ceedings must be by petition. _

Mr. -DixoN submitted that the order to refer the bill 011
costs for taxation was obtained quite as a matter of course, and
he apprehended that this was the same as if it had been
motion for time to answer.

The LORD CHANCELLOR had no recollection of
.311
motion having ever before been made for the put
pose of discharging an order obtained by petition at the 1011';
He was strongly inclined to think that Mr. Dixon's „I-
course would have been to have applied by petition to the hiss
ter of the Roils to have bad the order slischarged under specl3
• (1
circumstances, and then, if his Honour had refused to rescind
the order, the Learned Counsel would have had a ground °
appeal by petition.

Mr. DIXON was rather taken by surprise on this occasion'
and hoped the Court would allow Mr. Pepys, who was wit'
him, to mention the case again after that Learned CottWei
came into Court.

The Loan CHANCELLOR said he should have no objection t°
that.

IN RE CHAMBERS, A BANKRUPT.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was instructed to apply for an
order to advance the bankrupt's petition for the supersedeas °t
his commission, which had been pending for a very long Woe,
so that it might be heard on some early day. The learned Coon'
sel did not apprehend any question would arise upon the point
jurisdiction, although a great deal of litigation had taken place
and almost every point that could be discussed this unforta
nate case had been tortured with, either in one Court or an
other. The bankrupt obtained a verdict against the bank,
ruptcy ; upon a new trial he lost that verdict, but a bill 0
exceptions had been tendered to the Court above upon that
finding which had not yet been argued. .

Mr. KNIGHT appeared on the other side, and expressed hill,'
self ready to oppose any thing that might be asked by the
Attorney-General.
Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL had no difficulty in giving 1111;
Knight credit for that feeling from the experience which 11`
(the Attorney-General) had already had of the manner ill
which this matter had already been litigated. The unfortw
nate gentleman, the subject of the commission, had now beee
incarcerated for many months, at the suit of the solicitor undP
the commission.

The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it would hardly be advisable
that the Court should enter into the discussion while the
Bill of Exceptions was pending. From what he understood
the matter provided upon the Writ of Error, the Court shalt'
be of opinion against the Bankruptcy—then, in all probability'
there would be no further contention.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was only desirous that the Petiso
should be heard here as early as possible, that if possible Or"
Chamber's mind might be relieved from a load of distr •
under which be was labouring.
The LORD CHANCELLOR'S opinion was that things sno-
remain in statu quo for the present.
