THIS LAY'S MARKETS.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL-SCOTT V. THE MAYOR, &C., OF LIVERPOOL.-

JUDGMENT.

They Lord Chancellor—affirming the decision of Vice-
Chancellor Sir John Stuart—was of opinion that the clause
in the contract—to submit and refer all matters in difference
as to the value of plant or work to be taken by the Corpo-
ration to the engineer of the works as arbiter—was a good
and valid agreement, and his decision was binding on both
parties ; and that the plaintiff was excluded from applying
to a court of equity in law as a separate tribunal to adjudi-
cate upon his claims. _ _ _

His lordship dismissed the appeal with costs.
The effect of this decision will be to entitle the Corpora-
tion of Liverpool to take plant and work performed at the
engineer's valuation.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
MAYNARD V. WRIGHT.

This was a question on the construction of the will of the
late Charles Henry Maynard. After directing payment of
all his debts he gave certain bequests and legacies to his
wife, to be paid out of his personal estate. He directed
his executors to invest his money in stock, and divide the
dividends between his wife and children : after his wife's
death, to be divided among his three sons and three
daughters, or their children, or such of them as
shall leave issue, the survivor to take the share of
the predecessor and the children to take the share of their
parents. The testator made a distinction between his
children and the issue of the children who were ultimately
to succeed. The respondent contended that the ultimate
destination to the issue of the grandchildren or great grand-
children of the testator could not be distinctly ascertained,
and the will was void from uncertainty.
His Honour considered, on the authority of decisions in
similar cases, that where classes were referred to in the will
the destination is clearly good. He made a declaration in
support of tile will. Costs to be paid out of the estate.
