LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before Mr. Baron Bra►nwell and a Common Jury.)

HANCOCK. V. LORD ERNEST VANE TEMPEST.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the
eminent jeweller in Bond-street, against the defendant,
Lord Ernest Vane Tempest, to recover the sum (1
1501. 19s. for goods sold and delivered.

Mr. Ed win James, Q,C., in stating the case to the
jury, said that the defendant was the third son of the
late Marquis and the present Dowager Marchioness of
Londonderry, and the action was brought to recover the
sum of 1501. 193. for jewellery supplied to the noble
defendant from September, 1853, to May, 1854. To
the demand the noble defendant bad pleaded, by his
guardian, infancy, and never indebted. The defendant, at
the time be contracted the debt, was an officer in
the Second Life Guards, and son of one of
the most wealthy of our aristocracy, living
in a high sphere of society, accompanied by all the
attributes and appliances of great luxury and wealth,
He went from time to time to the plaintiff's shop and
selected the various articles with which he was charged,
and the question for the jury was whether the articles
in question were suitable for a gentleman in the position
of life of the defendant, he having thought right as a
gentleman and an officer to put on the record the plea of
infancy. In Addison's treatise it was laid down that
necessaries were to be considered in reference to the
position and rank of the person contracting the debt, and
it had been held that a servant in livery was a necessary
to a rich infant as well as expensive uniforms to an
infant officer in the Guards—(laughter)—and to infant
officers in Volunteer Corps. It certainly appeared
ridiculous to talk of infant officers, but it was just to say
they fight very well. The articles supplied consisted of,
amongst others, a diamond ruby centre cross-ring, an
enamelled pearl star locket, 31. 10s. _ _ _

His Lordship—A. locket what is that, Mr. James ?
Mr. James —You ask me what it is, my Lord, and I
will tell you, for I once hag a locket. (Laughter.) A
locket is a thing in which you wear a piece of the hair
of the lady to whom you are attached. (Laughter.)
His Lordship—Then I have been without a necessary
all my life. (Renewed laughter.)

Mr. James—Your Lordship was never an infant
officer in the Secand Life Guards. That makes all the
difference. (Laughter.) The next item was a pair of
onyx sleeve link studs, 3/. That surely must be a
necessary article for a noble lord, for only fancy Lord
Ernest Vane Tempest riding with his mamma with
a pair of pewter studs and brass sleeve rings
(Laughter.) The thing was ridiculous, and it was
not to be expected that a nobleman would wear a
second or third-rate jet stud, which ordinary persons were
obliged to wear. (Laughter.) Then came an item for
a gold latch-key. Every one, he believed, understood
what a latch-key was. (Laughter.) It was usual with
the officers of this regiment to have gold latch-keys, and
of course this young nobleman's mamma could not fancy
her son having one in iron or steel, whilst the other
officers, his equals, were wearing gold ones. There was
an item for a necklace, 7/. ; but whether his lordship
wore it or not lie (Mr. James) could not say, and there
was another item for a Russian leather dressing-case
without razors. (Laughter.)

His Lordship—The defendant being a young man,
and an infant, probably did not want them.
Mr. James—lf your Lordship saw him, you would
say he did want shaving. (Laughter.) The learned
counsel then read various other items, and amongst
them, another article for holding hair, remarking that
the noble defendant appeared to be much at.
tubed to hair —4. (laughter) and alluded, in
conclusion, to his lordship having a watch. That, he
said, he thought the jury would say was a necessary
article, in order that he might be on parade at the right
time, and to look at and see that he never went too fast.
(Laughter.) The learned counsel then called
Mr. Hancock, who proved having demanded the
money. He said that every article in his shop was
marked in plain figures. After the noble lord became
involved he sent the account to the marchioness.
Mr. James—That was when he was about to enter
the Church. (Laughter.)

Mr. Hancock said it was usual for gentlemen to have
gold latch door keys, especially the officers of this regi-
ment. It was usual for gentlemen to wear bracelets
and lockets, and from the low price of these articles he
thought they were for gentlemen's use. He was in the
habit of sending articles to the noble defendant at his
barracks.

Several of Mr. Hancock's assistants spoke to selling
many of the articles in question to the noble defendant,
eapecially a blood-stone locket, with the initial " E" on
it in diamonds.

His Lordship said the plaintiff had failed to prove
more than 651. 158.
Mr. Bovill, for the defendant, said that in that case
he would not go to the jury. Her ladyship had offered
601., the sum she considered herself liable to pay for
her son.

Mr. James complained of the conduct of her ladyship
in not paying the whole amount. Without Lord E. V.
Tempest's evidence that he had not had the articles, it
should be taken as proved that the whole had been sup.
plied.

A verdict was then taken by direction of his lordship
for 651. 15s.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN BE GANDER.
This was a meeting for the last examination of this
bankrupt, who was described as of the Catherine Wheel
public house, Iligh-street, Borough.
The learned Commissioner said that the examination
had been adjourned in consequence. of the unsatisfactory
nature of the accounts, which appeared to have been
mado up from entire guess work. The present accounts
appeared to be even worse, for almost every item, and
some to a large amount, had been altered.
Mr. Lawrence, for the assignees, said that they were
by no means satisfied with the bona fides of the account,
or the conduct of the bankrupt, who had allowed the
whole of the property to be swept away, not leaving a
shilling for his creditors.
Mr. Chidley argued the else in favour of the bank-
rupt, but the examination was ultimately adjourned for
further accounts.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE TURNER.

This bankrupt was described as of Finsbury, builder,
and to-day applied for his certificate. The balance-
sheet, by Messrs. Butler and Cannings, shows debts,
1,4261., comprising, 7361. unsecured, and 690/. partly
secured ; assets, good debts, 1651. ; doubtful, 398/. ;
property in the hands of creditors, 4601. _ _

His Honour granted a certificate of the third class.
IN RE B. WHITE.

This bankrupt was described as a baker, of Vauxhall.
walk and Putney. The accounts, by Messrs. Butler
and Cannipgs, shows debts about 1,3001., of which 5001.
are fully secured, and assets beyond amount to secured
creditors, 2701.

The bankrupt was opposed, but his Honour ulti-
mately granted a certificate of the third class.
