LAW INTELLIGENGE.--(rhis Day)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
APPEAL.-JUDGMENT.-AUSTIN V. WYO.

This wz-s an appeal from a decree of the Master of the
Rolls, allowing the plaintiff only the profits of the Pll°-
ner,hip business from the date when be gave notice,
(which was only two days) previous to his retirement as
a partner of the company.
The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment, said
that the goodwill of a solicitor's business could not easily
be ascertained, and an agreement to sell it could not be
specifically enforced. The retirement from the partner-
ship, and abstaining from practice as a solicitor within.
100 miles of London, was not a benefit conferred on ant
particular partner, but on the partnership general ;
and when the partners were not agreed upon the value/
it was difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain what it
was. His Lordship affirmed the decree of the Master of
the Roll 9, and dismissed the appeal, withicoate.

BARLOW V. BARLOW. < • c-

7.4
This was a bill filed by the late Mreirp arrow, with
consent of her next friend, for specific performance of
certain covenants in her favour in an anti-nuptial cow
tract of indenture entered into between her and her late
husband. It was alleged that- she had given up the
benefits secured to her by this Indenture in favour of,
her husband, and agreed to accept in lieu thereof
a provision under his will. The provision made to.
her under the will turned out to be worthless, and
her son and executors claimed a right to return to
the provisions under the indenture. The point of
contention was, whether her heirs and executors were
bound to concur with the trustees under her husband's
will in applying for an entry to the Lord of the Manor,
and pay the expense of fines and recoveries of the land'
conveyed by her to her husband, under articles degree'
went and indenture before their marriage, in favour of
his trustees. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, in de•
livering judgment, considered that her heirs and exec**
tors were hound to concur with the husband's trustees
in applying for and obtaining an entry with the Lord
of the Manor of the lands in question, and to pay the.
expense of raising the same by mortgage or otherwise.
His Honour considered that Mts. Barlow had given
ap all her rights under the indenture, and elected to
take the provisions under her husband's will instead.
His Honour decreed accordingly.—Costs to be adjusted
on the minutes, and accounts to be taken at chamber..
with liberty to apply. ,
