COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CHAMBERS-ATTORNEY-GENERAL

V. REES.

These causes came on to be spoken to on the minutes.
The Solicitor-General, Sir Hugh M'Almont Cairns, Q.C.,
addressed a few observations to his lordship on the form of
inquiry proposed to be adopted in this case. It was proposed
last term to try the case before a jury, and issues were ac-
cordingly prepared to ascertain the right of the Crown to the
alvins of the sea shore opposite the defendants' lands at
Llannelly, South Wales. The learned counsel contended
that Mr. Rees was excluded from this inquiry in respect
that his interest had been already disposed of by his lord-
ship.

Mr. Reech submitted that Mr. Roca was entitled to be
heard before the jury.
The Lord Chancellor considered that Mr. Rees had been
already fully heard and his cause disposed of, and that he
was not entitled to be heard again. His lordship was anxious

to save expense to all parties.
The Solicitor-General then observed that the case would
be better disposed of by a judge at chambers than by a jury.
The learned counsel contended that the case should be re-
mitted to the Master of the Rolls, to take the evidence of
engineers and witnesses as to the use of the sea shore above
and below the medium line, and the natural or artificial
alteration of the shore or high-water mark opposite the
defendants' lands, by the old and new works of the de-
fendants.

Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Gifford, Q.C., were at first
disposed to prefer issues with special directions ; but, con-
sidering the great expense of trial by jury and uncertainty
of obtaining a true verdict, it was ultimately agreed to send
the case to the Master of the Rolls to be disposed of on the
evidence already taken by him on the points in dispute
between the parties, with liberty to apply.
The Lord Chancellor considered that this was the best
way of disposing of the case, to save expense to all
parties, and remitted the case to the Master of the
Rolls accordingly.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.)
JUDGMENT-FRAZER V. THOMSON.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said—This is a suit by
the assignees of the bankrupt to set aside an indenture of
settlement by the husband and wife in November, 1856, on
the ground of fraud against the creditors of the bankrupt.
So far as the settlement included the property of the bank-
rupt himself, unless it can be supported by the considera-
tion of marriage, the evidence of the precise state of his
affairs at that time was so strong that it could not stand;
but the policy of the law has given a paramount
importance to the consideration of marriage (unless the
marriage is a mere fraudulent contrivance to defeat the
claims of creditors), that both in law and equity such deeds
are supported. They all support tho settlement of the
husband's property, whether the wife was in the know-
ledge of his embarrassed circumstances previous to entering
into a bone fide honest marriage or not. So it was held in
the case of Champton v. Cotton, 17 Vessey ; Arbuthnot v.
Miller, 25 Simons ; Smith v. Giffard, 1 vol. Collard. But
if the marriage is not bone
.fide, and entered into
for the purpose of withdrawing the husband's pro-
perty from his creditors, the law is the reverse, and
such connivance cannot be supported, as was found
in the case of Columbine v. Pennel. His Honour
considered that this marriage was a bona fide marriage,
and did not fall under the operation of the 12th and 13th
sections of the Bankrupt Act. The wife before marriage
advanced her husband £l,OOO to carry on his precarious
business.. The marriage was regularly solemnised, and .
their furniture was publicly carted through the streets of
Liverpool to her house by one of the witnesses, and no
steps were taken by any of his creditors to secure it.
His Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costs.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
CHARTERERS AND SHIPOWNERS.-ROSS V. DATRIE,

This was an action to recover £l3 ss. for 60 'tons of bal-
last, alleged to have been ordered by defendant.
Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said that the ballast had
been ordered by a person to be supplied to a certain ship,
and defendant was the charterer of the ship. The party
who ordered the ballast was agent to defendant.
This was denied on the other hand, and his Honour in-
quired where was the captain ?

. .
kr. Buchanan—He is upon his voyage, but will be
home very shortly.

His Honour—You had better take an adjournment for a
short time, as the captain appears to be the only person
who can throw any light on the matter.

REFUSAL TO COMMIT-THE TALLY STSTEM

In a number of tally cases which came before the court,
his Honour made some very strong remarks upon the sub-
ject of the charges. He thought the poor got Bs. 6d. worth
of goods for 21s.—that a system was general of dragging a
string of poor people to the court for the purpose of getting
costs. Now he was determined not to allow costs in this
matter, for it was making a good profit out of the court in
addition to that made on the goods. In one caso his honour
refused to commit, as the defendant had shown himself to
be without means.

The proceedings in the courts of law at Westminster, this
morning, were entirely devoid of interest. The Court of
Queen's Bench was occupied hearing the arguments in a
cause for the infringement of a patent for making metallic
capsules for bottles, &c. In the Exchequer the cause before
the Court was whether certain buildings sold at a public
auction had been correctly described ; and in the Court of
Common Pleas the part-heard case of "-Mackie v. Parker"
was being proceeded with.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

MANSION-HOUSE.

ROBBERY OF AN EMPLOYER.—Francis Ferris, a car-
penter's workman, In the employment of Mr. Weston, of
Blackheath, builder, was charged with stealing .59 lbs. of
lead under the following circumstances :
Policeman James Fawkes, C 112, deposed that on the
previous afternoon about three o'clock he saw the prisoner
in Eastcheap with a wonderfully bulky protruberance
about the body, and from the peculiarly stooping posture
in which he walked suspected that he had something very
heavy concealed in hiS trousers. Accordingly, he went
after him, tapped him on the shoulder, and asked him if he
had any lead about him, upon which the prisoner
said, " Yes, he had," and produced two small pieces from
his waistcoat pocket. Witness told him he had more than
that, and as he continued to persist iu denying the fact,
witness took him to the police-station, where, on searching
his trousers he (witness) discovered a roll of lead, suspended
round the prisoner's body by a cord, which weighed no less
than 591bs. Upon subsequent inquiry, witness found that
the prisoner had been working at some old buildings, from
which he had no doubt stolen the lead ;' and as the prisoner
had left his work at 12 o'clock, he must have carried the
lead about in his trousers for three hours.

Noah Geddes said he was time-keeperfsi Mr. Gleston at
some buildings which were being pulled down in Mincing-
lane, and that the prisoner had been at work there for
some weeks. He left the place at 12 o'clock the previous
day and did not return in the afternoon, but whether the
lead produced belonged to the premises or not witness could
not positively swear, although it was very likely.
The foreman of the plumbers working at the place also
examined the lead produced, but could not swear to it,
although it was of a description never used now, and re-
sembled some belonging to the buildings.
The prisoner said he left work at 12 o'clock to get his
dinner, and on his way back passed a house where a man
was at work who owed hi= 3s , that man threw down the
lead to him, and told him to make his money of it, and he
took it away thinking it was all right.
The Lord Mayor told him it was all wrong, and sent him
to the treadmill fur a Inonth.
