LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Weed.)
EARL TALBOT Y. EOPE ROOTT—;DEMIIREER, PLEA,

MOTION.

ICABL TALBOT V. ZIOPB SCOTT-MIA, WITS MOTION.

In the first cause this was a motion for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from receiving the rents and
profits of the settled estates of the late Earl of Shrews-
bury, and for a receiver, pending the establishment of
the plaintiff's claim in the House of Lords as heir-at-law
to the late Earl of Shrewsbury, and to restrain the de-
fendant from cutting down the ornamental timber on the
estates.

The Vice-Chancellor,
in delivering judgment this
morning, was of opinion that as the plaintiff bar! not
made oat his claim as heir-at-law to the late Earl of
Shrewsbury, either in the House of Lords or in a court
of law, his Honour could not grant the injunction now
asked for by the plaintiff. And for the same reason,
that the plaintiff had not mace out his title as heir-at-law
to the late Earl of Shrewsbury, his Honour said he must
allow the defendant's demurrer to the plaintiff's bill, and
dismiss the bill. The plaintiff, however, might after-
wards establish his title as heir-at-law to the late Earl of
Shrewsbury. As to the defendant's plea in the second
cause, his Honour the Vice-Chancellor said that he would
allow the plea on the
plaintiff undertaking to reply by
next seal. His Honour disallowed costs of an abandoned
motion, and allowed costs in the cause.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
:Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice
Coleridge, Mr. Justice Wigl2talan, and Mr. Justice
Crompton )

NICHOLSON v. ELLIS.
This was a special case for the consideration of the
Court, under the Common Law Procedure Act, relative
to the emoluments of the Clerk of the Peace for West•
minster. The plaintiff is the Clerk of the Peace for
Westminster, and the defendant is the Clerk of the
Peace for Middlesex, and the plaintiff claimed certain
emoluments as belonging to his office enjoyed by
the defendant, which the latter contended wall given to
him under the provisions of the Common Lay Procedure
Act.

Sir F. Kelly, for the plaintiff, contended that though
the act of Parliament had merged the general sessions
for Westminster into those of Middlesex, there was
nothing in the act that took away from the Clerk of the
Peace for Westminster the duties of his office, which
continued to Exist, and ought to be paid out of the fees
received.

Sir F. Thesiger, for the defendant, urged that the act
bad entirely abolished the sessions for Westminster, and
transferred all the duties to the Middlesex Seasions. The
office had ceased to exist, and the learned gentleman
referred to this 12th section of the Common Law Pro•
csdure Act, which provides compensation for the loss of
office under the operations of that act.
Judgment deferred.
