CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor, we are happy to say, was suffi-
ciently recovered from his recent initisposition to be
able to resume his official duties in the Curt of Chancery
to-day. His Lordship sat this morning: in the Old Hall,
Lincoln's Inn, and heard appeals.

EVANS V. PROTHEEOE.,
This appeal stood in his Lordship's puf er for judgment,
but upon its being called, his LordslAp said it must
stand for a future day.

WEAVER V. GRANT.—.TUDGINE ENT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgnal3nt in this case,
whicla came before his Lordship about a week ago, upon
appeal from the judgment of the Vice-et ancellor Knight
Bruce.

The plaintiff is the widow of Brit n Edwards, the
historian. She was entitled to an cm nuity of 1,0001.,
charged on his estate in Jamaica, rat 3 married a Mr.
Weaver. In 1829, the annuity, in consequence of the
distress prevailing in the West Indies, fell into arrcar,
and in 1833, the arrears amounted to 3,5001. Mrs.
Weaver was pressed for money, aid she applied
to the defendant, Mr. Grant, the consignee of the estate,
to purchase her chance of recovering 0.1 em. After much
solicitation he consented to do so, at •the rate of 10s. in
the pound, and paid Mrs. Weaver 1,7501. Shortly
afterwards the Act for granting conopensation to the
proprietors of slaves received the ass 313 t cf Parliament,
and the prospects of the estates be it g improved Mrs.
Weaver made an appeal to defendant for a more liberal
allowance. Mr. Grant stood, however, on the letter of
his bargain, and the bill was filed a eking to have the
contract set aside on the grounds of inadequate con-
sideration and constructive fraud. The Vice-Chancellor
held that the plaintiff's evidence failed to prove her case,
and dismissed the bill. When the carp ) was last before
his Lordship he expressed an °plat m that from the
whole of the evidence it was clear the Vice-Chancellor
had come to the right conclusion oi t the case; but he
ought to have gone further. The ire putation on Mr.
Grant had wholly failed; and as far as the bill prayed a
declaration that the sale must he sot aside, it ought to
have been dismissed with costs. His Lordship con-
tinued of the same opinion to-day, vat d ordered the ap-
peal to be dismissed with costs.
Nothing cf interest occurred in any of the Vice-
Chancellors' Courts.

BANKRUPTC Y.-( THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner F,)IIBLANQUE.)
THE AYLESBURY SAYINGS' BANK- RE STRATTON.

This bankrupt was described as of Aylesbury, trader
and newspaper proprietor, and had also been clerk to
Mr. James, the manager of the Aylesbury Savings'
Bank. To-day was appointed for th,e last examination
of the bankrupt, who has however abs conded, eter hav-
ing defrauded the bank to the extent; of about 1,0001. It
is said he has since been seen in A merica. lie will be
proclaimed outlawed at the rising of the Court, and
every exertion made to apprehend h'irti.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff :SURCHELL.)
LATREILLE V. BARNETT.
The plaintiff is a tailor, and the action was brought
to recover the sum of 141. 4s. for good s sold.
Plaintiff's attorney stated the defendant to be Mr.
Benjamin Barnett, a theatrical gentleman. Defendant
had written a letter, in which he admitted 91. to be due,
as he had paid 51.

TLe defendant's attorney contended that the charges
were excessive, as a frock coat was charged 4/. 14s. 6d.,
troweers 1/ 175., and a dress coat 4/. 45..
The UNDER...SHERIF? said that the defendant had ad•
mined N. to b© due, and no witnesses hi►d been called on
either side as to the fairness of the charges, but, never-
theless, if the jury thought any of them excessive they
might reduce the amount.

The jury gave a verdict for 91.
SANGSTER AND ANOTHER V. HAY.

The plaintiffs in this action are umbrella, &c., manu-
facturer in Regent•aquare. Defendant was stated to be
a clerk in the Privy Council-office. The amount
claimed was 91. 2s. 6d. for goods sold to defendant
in 1847.

Plaintiff's clerk proved that defendant had called at
plaintiff's shop and went over the account, and admitted
the above sum to be due, and promised to pay, but
failed to do so.

The jury gave a verdict for the amount.
BULL V. FREEHANTLE.
The plaintiff is an engineer, and defendant is a builder.
The action was brought to recover the sum of 51. 15s.
for work done in setting up a warm water apparatus in
a greenhouse. Defendant admitted 51. to be due, but
contended that that was a fair price, as he was to be
charged as a tradesman, t ) make a profit himself; but
evidence was adduced to show that the charge was fair,
and a verdict was given for the fall amount.
