VICE CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY.

A scene of a most extraordinary nature took place in this
Court this morning. At the sitting of his Honour on the
part heard petition of Wineholt v. Logan being called Oh
neither Mr. Pepys nor:Mr. Temple, who appeared as Counsel I°
support of the petition, were in Court, and the case was order
to stand over for a short time. Shortly afterwards Mr. Peo.g,
came into Court and proceeded with the petition, during which
was intimated to him that he was wanted in the Lord Chancellor'
Court to open a motion ofKeppel V. Bailey. Mr. Pepys,immedial
that he had concluded, left the Court, desiring the solicitor
look for Mr. Temple as he was obliged to go. Mr. Temple'
however, was speaking in the Rolls Court and could not 0011'
fore come in. Sir Edward Sugden who opposed the petition P
ceeded to address the Court, during which Mr. Pepys return'
and the petition was disposed of. The Learned Counsel 0.00
proceeded to open another petition of " Strong v, Ingra°l%
in the course of which it was again intimated to him, that 111;
attendance was required in the Lord Chancellor's Court,
immediately upon the intimation being given, the Learn 7,
Counsel begged his Honour to excuse him, and left the COO,
with his case half opened. Mr. Wright, who was Mr. PeOl
junior, was absent.
s
Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, on discovering that Mr. PepY- 4 1
quitted the Court, exclaimed, with great surprise—"
where is Mr. Pepys ?"
h 101
His HONOUR said that he had left the Court, as —e

wanted before the Lord Chancellor.
Sir EDWARD SUDDEN said that he had never witnessed sue
irregularity in the whole course of his life, and stated his de;
termination not to remain in Court if his Learned Friend walite
out of it in so irregular a manner. It was extremely imPr°,
and treating the Court with great disrespect for Counsel to OP,
it having only half opened a case, and that, too, for the pur;
of opening another case in the Lord Chancellor's Court. Po
Had never witnessed such irregularity before, and he trusted
never should again during the time he had the honour of praC:,
tising in that Court. He had been wanted at times quite
much as his Learned Friend in the other Court, but it neve!,
could be said of him that he had ever adopted a course
irregular.

Mr. WRIGHT here came into Court, and stated that he
not prepared to go on with the petition in the absence of 1111
Pepys.

Sir EDWARD SUGDEN—You must go on with it, your leads'
has half-opened the case, and left the Court. I will not to/0
advantage of your youth and ignorance, as I do not mean t 4
oppose you,but the case must be opened. This Court will
destroyed altogether, unless there is much more regularity or
served.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS DO

The Judges of the Courts of Common Pleas and the Ex'
chequer sat here this morning upon a writ of error from th..,1
King's Bench, in the case of Wright v. Latham, which ll'
been so frequently before the public.
Mr. F. PoLLocK opened the ease, and was still addrossinil
the Court when our reporter left.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(T HIS DAY'

ments in cases set down in the crown paper, being chiefly ar
peals to this Court against the decisions of Justices of Fel
Sessions, regarding the settlement of paupers.—No case
public interest occurred.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE).

IN THE MA'FFER. OF HOUGHTON AND WATTS.
The acting assignees appeared before the Commissioners t"
pass the accounts preparatory to a dividend.
The accounts were examined by the CommtssioNEß Aptt
passed.
The assignees are Wynn Ellis, Esq., M.P., Mr. Andrea
Caldecott, and Mr. William Dean, of the firm Charles Candi
and Co.

constitutingissi the onenr.ew
Act
nthe Com
In this case the question first arose, whether the
appointment of an official assignee under a Commission Mr. Commissioner FANE was then of opinion that he on°
but the creditors having signed a declaration, stating tl°.
an official assignee was not wished for by them, the Cow'
bwoaus ncdo theeorAy
missioner stated that he felt himself hound by rb,
Act, but as he was not one of those who wished to fore'
Court to appoint one:
a benefit upon the creditors, they would probably tag
the opinion of the Court of Review on the subject'
The assignees did so, and that Court decided that the Cote'
missioner had a discretion, and he therefore exercised that
discretion, and did not confirm the appointment.
Upon handing in the accounts to the Commissioner this clsl,
the Commissioner inquired of Mr. Dean, the acting assignee'
what sum had been collected, and divided under the estate.
Mr. Dean said between 9 and 10,000/.
Mr. Commissioner FANE—If all estates were conducted i°,
this way there certainly would be no reason for appointiOg
Official Assignees.
Mr. ASHVAST, Solicitor for the Assignees—Nor is there nol,
Sir, for the appointment. I speak now in the presence
a gentleman (Mr. Dean), whose firm of Charles Candy and CO'
is one of the most extensive in their line, and Mr. D.
great experience in these matters. I only express his opinioo.,
and I know the opinion of many more in this trade, that as'
respectable accountant who can give the requisite securitli
ought thereby to he qualified to act as an official assignee, a°,
that the creditors ought to be at liberty to choose their ov
official assignee or not as they please, and if they choose to 04
him as they thought fit, and according to the work doe;
the money is their own, and provided it is securely deposit
they feel that they are the best judges of the application, a°,
of the ability of the agents to be employed, and that if tlr,
choice of their own agents was left to themselves they shoal;
secure activity, skill, intelligence, and attention, which thong
they may now possess it, they have not the same conviction
it. In this trade, the silk and Manchester, creditors, who a.„
mostly wholesale traders, select men whom they know to
(as in the instance of their present agent and accountant, 141!
Threlkeld) well acquainted with the value of such steel;
and who can form at once an opinion of their value,
of the mode in which they ought to be immediately des;
with. They may get the same ability from those they dog
know, but they think it is rather hard they should be forced td
buy services when they don't want them, of the necessity a°
value of which they are not allowed to judge, and to paY ,
price not fixed by themselves, although they are the paymaster:
What the creditors needed was security for the fund, not a
arbitrary interference with the appointment of their servants.
Mr. Commissioner FANG—WeII, this is not a question novis,
The parties then withdrew.
