KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

Their Lordships were occupied this morning with hear-
ing arguments on special cases.
In our paper of Tuesday last we mentioned a case of
considerable importance to attorneys, in which a gentle-
man named Watson, of 'Wakefield, applied to be admitted
an attorney of this Court, bot whose admission was op-
posed at the instance of Mr. Geo. Robinson, an attn-ncy
of the same place, on the ground that Mi. Watson had
not complied with the Act of Parliament, which required
that a person should serve five years to an attorney under
articles before he could be admitted. By the affida-
vits on both sides, it appeared that Mr. Watson
had been articled to a gentleman in Wakefield with
whom he served two years, and was then assigned
to another with whom he served the remaining three
years. It also appeared that it had been recently ascer-
tained that Mr. Watson's first employer was only a solici-
tor, and not an attorney, but that the gentleman to whom
he was afterwards assigned, was an attorney and solicitor.
The case was heard before Mr. Ju-tice James Parke, in a
private room, and it was contended by Mr. Robinson's
Counsel, that as Mr. Watson had only served three years
to an attorney, he was not entitled to be admitted. On
the other side it was submitted, that Mr. Watson had done
all that was required of him, and all that he could perform;
:nd as that gentleman had been admitted, without opposition
as an attorney of the Court of Chancery, he was entitled
to be admitted as an attorney of the Low Courts.
Mr. Justice J. PARSE having taken time to consider
the point, which he considered of much importance, parti-
cularly to the applicant, to-day intima•ed to Mr. Watson
that he was entitled to his admission, he having already
been admitted in the Court of Chancery.

Mr. Watson was accordingly sworn in and admitted.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Justice PArrzsoN took motions in this Ciotti t, but
there was nothing of any public interest.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(T1IIS DAY).

This Court was occupied the whole morning in hearing
the arguments in a can which involved the right of a sa—
citor of the Court of Chancery to practise on the Epil y
side of this Court. The case was likely to occupy the
whole day, hut we will give the judgment.

BANKRUPTCY COURT,-(THIS DAY.)

EX-TARTE EDDEN, 1N RE•JACKSON.
The bankrupt in this case had held a situation in the
Privy Seal Office, and, on becoming a bankrupt, had in
bis possession certain books belonging to the office, having
been purchased with the money of the office, although be
rated before the Commissioners that he gave 101. to his
predecessor to deliver them up to hint. Mr. Edden, who
had succeeded him in his situation at the Privy Seal Office,
now petiticned to have the books delivered up to him.
The assignees had no objection to deliver them up, but did
not wish to take upon themselves the responsibility of do-
ing so, without the authority of the Court.
The COURT considered, that if the bankrupt had any
property in the books, it was now vested in the assignees,
who had properly consented to give up these books, which,
there could be no doubt, belonged to the Privy Seal-office.
—Ordered as prayed.
