that he was indebted to the defendant for 11. 12-,.
for work done to the frames. The defendant's setoff,
if it might be called so, when no right of action
existed, was that there was a set-off for warehousr,
room, the property baying been left for two yen-A,
and he (Mr. Buchanan) considered there was a right of
claim for the warehouseman ; and, further, that the
plaintiff was not the legal possessor of the property
which had been bought at a sale, and alLbou;;h. the
pictures had been bought in plaintiff's name, they were
in fact paid fir by another party. Evidence to this
effect was given.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood,)
VANSITART V. VA.NSITABT.
This was a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill. Mrs.
Vansitart filed her bill for specifio performance of an
agreement entered into by her and her husband for an
*dollen', to her of 3001. per annum and the custo4 and
education of several of her sons and daughters. TM,.
agreement was entered into between them with consent
of counsel and agents (but without the consent of the
husband's attorney) pending a divorce for adultery in
the Arches Court. Mr. Tansitart now objected to the
plaintiff's bill, that she being a married woman coal
not enter into this agreement; that agreement was
invalid, and oontrary to public policy. Moreover it was
invalid, and could not be enforced, as she contracted for
the education and maintenance of her children, and
being a fern covert, she could not legally enter into this
agreement without the consent of her next friend, which
she had not obtained.
His Honour, in delivering judgment, said that the law
was now well settled, that when a married woman
entered into an agreement as to matters concerning her-
self personally, she was entitled to do so, and must be
considered a fent sole,
as was found in the case of
Walker v. Roberts, Hope v. Hope, Aitkinson v. Ross
(House of Lords' causes), Wilford v. Wilford, Stranget
v. Straog't. But where she entered into an agreement
for the education, custody, and separate maintenance of
her chiliren, which she would not be entitled to under
the divorce, the agreement was one that could not be
enforced ; the demurrer, therefore, most be allowed,
1 and the plaintiffs bill diinissed, but without costs.
Demurrer allowed, and bill dismissed without costs.

Mr. Buchanan then argued in the question of tender,
and quoted several cases, particularly those in Roscoe,
p. 347, which involve the great legal principle
that a tender must be unconditional. In thie
case the money, 1/. 6d., had been laid
dawn, but the plaintiff kept his hand upon it, so that
the defendant ebould not take it except he had the plc-
tares delivered up to him. Mr. Buchanan contended
that this was not a tender under the causes laid down
by Roscoe and other eminent authorities, and that de-
fendant had a lien upon the property until his charge,
were paid.

His Honour, however, held that the tender was good,
and gave judgment for is. as nominal damages for the
detention—restitution of the property on the payment
of 11. 12e. 6d.

Workhouse.

Riwatd Snelling, porter at the Ratcliff Workhouse.
/said the pris,mers were admitted there last night at-
casual pauper 4, and received proper relief. Thi,
morning they remained iu bed after the other paup, rs
had risen. He aNked them why they did not get up, t.
which they replied that they had no clothes, and he
discovered that they had torn up the whole of their clothes
in which they came to the workhouse last night. He
was compelled to provide them with other garments to
enable them to come to that court.
The prisoner Cooper said his clothes were very filthy
and dirty, and he could not bear them any longer.
He could have obtained work the day before yesterday
if he bad been proviied with suitable apparel.
Mr. Salfe—That is no reason you should have de-
stroyed your clothes. This system must be stopped.
What have you to say, Watts I
Wattsi—l could endure myself no longer. My el,thes
were covered with vermin. What could Ido ? I was
almost distracted.
Mr. Selfe—This is not to be tolerated. You are sen-
tenced to 14 days' imprisonment, with hard labour.
