LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Justices.)
The Lords Justices' Court was crowded this morning
by barristers and others, who seemed to labour under the
impression that something would be said in reference to
the death of Sir J. L. Knight Bruce, who was during so
many years the senior judge. Some time before Sir George
Turner and Sir Hugh Cairns, the Lords Justices, entered,
the great boll of Lincoln's-inn began to toll, and Sir
Bounden Palmer, Q.C., took his seat within the bar. No
other Queen's counsel was present. When their lordships
had taken their seats. Sir Round°ll Palmer rose, and there
was deep silence in Court, but his object was simply to
ask that a case connected with the North-Eastern Railway
Company, in which Sir Hugh Cairns had been counsel
before his elevation to the beach, should be transferred to
the Court of the Lord Chancellor. The application was
at once granted.

RE OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO (LIMITED).
This case was set down for argument this morning
before tho Lord Justices, the q•lestion involved being
whether the transferor or transferee was liable for the pay-
ment of call.
The counsel engaged for the different parties not being
present, Lord Justice Turner ordered it to be taken off
the list, and directed that a fresh application be made to
restore it.

THE ROBBERIES ON THE GREAT

This day at the 'Stratford police court Henry Buckle,
who has already been committed for trial on charges of
stealing and receiving property which had been abstracted
from goods trains on the Great Eastern Railway, was
brought up on a writ of habeas corpus from llford gaol for
examination, with his wife Caroline Buckle, who has since
been arrested on other charges of stealing goods while in
transit on the Great Eastern Railway.

they having kept a woll-to-do clothier's and drapery shop
in Stratford New Town, and the large amount of property
seized on their premises, the proceedings excited much in-
terest and the court was crowded.
