GENCE,

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.)
MARRIAGE OF MISS TALBOT.—DOYLE V. WRIGHT.
Mr. R. PALMER made an application to his Lordship
in this case. He said he appeared on behalf of Lora
Edward Howard, who had presented a petition to the
Court, in which he stated that, having, in 1847, become
acquainted with Miss Talbot, a ward of the Court, he
bad since that period taken every opportunity of recom.
mending himself to her, and had made a proposal of mar-
riage to her, to which she had given consent, subject to his
Lordship's approval. The application which he now made
to his Lordship was to direct that the usual reterence
should be made to the Master to approve of the marriage,
and also to approve of arrangements for settlements.
Mr. BOLT said he appeared for Dr. Doyle, who wished
to express his entire concurrence in the proposal, and who
would, moreover, have been ready to acquiesce in any
such arrangement, if it had been m ade at a much earlier
period.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—You may take an order.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE,
Mr. Justice WIGELTMAN, Mr. Justice PATTESON, and
Mr. Justice ERLE )
DOE DEM. NEWMAN V. RUSHER.
Mr. CHOWDER moved for leave to enter a nonsuit
in this case, which was tried at the last Salis-
bury assizes, and a verdict returned for the pletintiff, but
with leave to make this motion. The simple question
involved in the case was, whether or no a conveyance of
property for a valuable consieeration got rid of a prior
conveyance of a voluntary character. For the defendant
it way cont.inded that by the 27th of Elizabeth it did,
and a case has been decided in Ireland which supports
that position.—Rule nisi.

Mt ZLEY V. HYTHE AND ANOTHER.
Mr. WRATELEY moved, on behalf of the defendant,
for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiff
in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial had.
The action was for money had and received, and it arose
out of the following dispute:—ln 1816, upon the mar-
riage of a lady with a gentleman named Ilythe, a settle-
ment was made, by which certain property was vested
in the husband for life, with remainder to tLe
lady in event of her surviving him. At the
death of both the property was to be sold
for the benefit of the children of the mar-
riage, and the proceeds distributed equally amongst
them. Nov the husband is dead, but the lady still lives,
and is the mother of three children, who are all of age;
slid, by an agreement between the four, it was arranged

a few months ago that the property
sale, and knocke
should be soli st
once. Accordingly, it was put u
down to Oswald zley, who made a deposit of 4901.
OM to ratify the bargain. The conditions of the sl°
stipulated that no objection should be taken to the title
under the marriage settlement, inasmuch as both the lacil
and her trustees were consenting parties to the transaa*
tion; but, subsequently to the sale, Sir Oswald Mosley,
was advised that in law the sale would be held bad, an?
Le, therefore, brought the present action to recover bb
the deposit money. On behalf of the defendant, ban
ever, it is contended that, is the face of the conditions-0f
sale, such an objection cannot be suttaintd, and bell
they were anxious that the Court should grant a °
trial, or direct that the point should be decided in a sr
cial case.
Rule nisi for a new trial, in the event of the other side
not agreeing to a special case.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) a
Mr. Justice Coleridge sat in this court to-day, a-
