LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

(Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham,
Lord Wensleydale, and other peer&)

BARLOW V. OSBORNE AND ANOTHER, EX PARTS AS TO

CERTAIN RESPONDENTS.

This was a competition between two purchasers of
the estates of Pirchden and Hammel, county of Susses,
under a judicial sale by tender of the Court of Chancery.
The appellant alleges that he purchased the estate for
35,0001. As the appellant, however, had not complied
with the orders of Chancery the estates were afterwards
re-sold to Mr. Walter Predieux at an advance of eight
thousand five hundred pounds, thereby increasing the
price of the estates to 44,009/.
The arguments of the learned counsel in the cause
having been resumed and concluded this morning, their
lordships delivered judgment. Their lordships affirmed
the orders of the Lords Justices and Vice-Chancellor,
Sir John Steuart, and dismissed the appeal without
costs, except the respondent's costs, to be paid out of
the fund in Chancery.
VERNON V. WRIGHT.-EXPARTE Ali TO CERTAIN
RESPONDENTS.

This was an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor
Kindersley. The point in contention is the right con-
struction to be put upon several bequests in the will of
the late Miss Langton in favour of her relations.

The Attorney-General opened tho case for the appe:
lant. It
-will probably occupy the whole of this day.

QUEEN'S BENCH.
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

Lord Campbell, on the assembling of the Court,
announced that as to-morrow (Saturday) was the first
day of the London after-terms sittings at Guildhall, he
should preside over the trial of the Royal British Bank
directors, and that Mr. Justice Erie would preside over
a second court, in order that suitors might not be in-
convenienced by the probably protracted trial of the
above parties.

The learned counsel engaged in the case have for some
days past been working* their respective cases from
the briefs that have been handed to them. It is stated
that Sir F. Thesiger, the leader on the part of the prose-
cation, and Sir F. Kelly, the leader for the defence,
have for some days past been devoting their sole atten-
tion to their cases, refusing to attend to general business
till the finish of the trial. It is anticipated that Sir F.
Thesiger's opening statement will occupy the whole of
the first day.
