COURT OF CHANC.ERY-(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
JUDGMENT.-APPEAL-MOULTON V. EDIWONDS.

This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the
Rolls on his chief clerk's certificate holding that the
title, extending over sixty years, offered by the vendor
to the purchaser of the premises in question, was a good
and sufficient title to the property.

Tho Lord Chancellor was of the same opinion, and dis.
missed the appeal with costs.

(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)

sets, from the Insolvent Debtors' Court to the Accouu-
tant-General in this Court, pursuant to an order of Vice-
Chancellor Sir John Stuart, and Lords Justices on
appeals.

Mr. Malins, Q.C., supported the petition.
The money is in Consols, in name of the Commissioners
of the Insolvent Debtors' Court.

Mr. Rogers, Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Follet, Q.C., and Mr.
L. Russell were heard in the cause.

counsel.

Their Lordships dismissed the petition with costs, with
out prejudice to the petitioher, to make any other applica•
tion that may be necessary.
(Before Vico-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood).

JUDGMENT-IN RE NEW ENGINE COAL MINING COMPANY,

Two questions arose in this case-Ist, whether the com-
pany had undertaken to sink a pit in the Forest of Dean,
and work it with new machinery ; and 2d, whether
the company had taken a sub-lease of the mines in
question.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that
the company by their agents had undertaken to sink a pit
and had obtained a sub-lease under their agreement to
work the mines in question, and remitted to Chambers to
ascertain the expense of making the pit in pursuance of the
Judge's order, and the liability of the shareholders in re-
spect of such sub-lease.

Costs of the official manager to be paid out of the
estate.

LAW INTELLIGENCB.-( VHS DAY.

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Jones.)
THE FINSBURY ELECTION.-LIABILITY OF COMMITTER-

MEN.-BARB V. woßTll.

This was a claim to recover £8 ss. for printing some
squibs for the last election at Finsbury.
Plaintiff was called, and said that defendant gave the
order himself, and never said it was to be charged to Mr.
Cox.

Mr. Jay produced plaintiff's bill, and on the top was
written " Cox's Election."

Plaintiff said he put that on the bill to distinguish it.
Defendant was a committeeman, and deputy-chairman to
Mr. Cox.

Mr. Jay said anybody must have known that the squibs
were intended for Mr. Cox. Who else could have said
" All men are equal?" (Laughter.) The squib was abu-
sive of Sir Samuel Morton Peto, a most inoffensive man,
and no one but Mr. Cox would have abused him. Defcn
dant was by some strange chance absent now he was
wanted. Ho had been present all the morning.
His Honour said perhaps discretion was the better part
of valour in his case. Plaintiff had sworn that defend ant
ordered the things, and defendant was clearly liable. These
matters were generally arranged between the candidat&and
his committeemen, and there should be no repudiation of a
debt of this kind by the candidate.
Verdict for plaintiff.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A GENTLEMAN OBLIGED TO TULIN CAB-DRIEB3.-.-
John Patmore, a cab .driver (badge 1,955, cab 2,272), ivas
charged with being drunk and incapable of driving his fa re,
as follows :

Thomas Lindsay, a constable of the C division, said lie
attention was called to the defendant's cab, a little after
12 overnight, by seeing a gentleman on the box driving.
He stopped the cab, and on looking inside saw the defts-
dant fast asleep and very drunk.
Inspector Webb, of the C division, said the statement of
the gentleman who came to the station was that he knead
the cab in the Gray's .inn-road, and that after the man had
driven him from place to place he (the driver) lost himself,
and perceiving that the man was in a state of intoxication
he mounted the box and drove himself home, having first,
for the man's safety, put him inside, and that he had past
reached his home in Jermyn-street when he was stopped
by the constable.

Mr. Beadon asked for the defendant's license, found that
he had been charged with drunkenness about two months
ago; and, addressing the defendant, said that if he carne
before him again lie should certainly send his license to One
commissioners. He was driving a gentleman at the tiro e,
and so drunk that he was obliged to be put inside and the
gentleman to drive himself. He should fine him 20e. or a
month.
