LAMBETIL

Yesterday being the day appointed for the further
examination of Miss Georgiana Homan, alias Homer.
alias Grant, alias Irwin, alias Reynolds, a young
woman who not only managed to support herself, but
to maintain her mother and sister in dashing style, by
an artful system of imposition on the charitable and
benevolent, the court was crowded with those on
whom she had practised her impthitions.
The evidence in five clear and distinct cases was
taken against the prisoner, but it having been found
that the witnesses in two other important cases, the
one for obtaining five guineas from the Rev. Mr.
Sherman, of the Surrey or Rowland Hill's Chapel,
and the other for obtaining 201. 10s. from Mr.
Samuel Wood, a gentleman residing at Waltham-
stow, were not in attendance, and also that the case
could not be prepared. for the preSent session at the
o,;d BaileY, the prisoner was remanded until Tuesday
next.

TITLE of the NEW VICE-CHANCELLOR.
The question as to the title of the new Vice-Chan-
cellor, which has lately formed the subject of so much
discussion in the equity courts since the commence-
ment of term, has at length been satisfactorily settled
by some observations made by Sir Robert Rolfe him-
self in court during the week. The difficulty was
this, that the statute 53 Geo. 111., under which Sir
Lancelot Shadwell was appointed Vice-Chancellor,
expressly provides that the Vice-Chancellor appointed
under that Act shall be called Vice-Chancellor " oi.
England ;" hut the stature 5 Vic., cap. 5, under
which Sir J. Knight Bruce and Sir J. Wigram were
appointed Vice- Chancellors, provides that after the
death of Sir Lancelot Shadwell, the future Vice-
Chancellor to be appointed under the 53d of George
111., and the Vice-Chancellors appointed under the
later Act shall rank according to priority of appoint-
ment. It was then supposed that any Vice-Chan-
cellor appointed under the 53d of George 111. must
necessarily be styled Vice-Chancellor of England.
The resignation of Vice Chancellor Wigram did not
of course affect the question, as there was an ex-
press clause in the Act of 5 Victoria, cap. 5, pro-
hibiting a re-appointment to his office upon his
death or resignation. On Thursday last a petition
was presented to Vice-Chancellor Rolfe, headed
Vice-Chancellor of England," and Mr. Stuart,
who appeared in support of the petition, submitted that
the heading was perfectly correct, since any Vice-
Chancellor appointed under the 531 of Geo. 111.
ought to be styled Vice-Chancellor of England. His
Honour said, that although he was appointed in the
room of Sir Lancelot Shad well, he did not consi-
der himself authorised to take the title of Vice-
Chancellor of England. The title was originally
introduced by the desire of Lord Chancellor El-
don, for the purpose of lessening the dignity of the
office, his own title being Lord Chancellor of
Great Britain, arid when the two Vice-Chancellors
were subsequently appointed, the title "of England"
was adopted by way of distinguishing Sir Lancelot
Sbadwell, whose office was of a higher rank. There
were now two reasons why he (Sir R ,bert Rolfe) con-
sidered himself not authorised to assume the title of
Vice-Chancellor of England. One was, that by the
Act of 5 Vic., cap. 5, the existing Vice-Chancellors
were to rank according to priority of appointment,
and consequently Sir J. Knight Bruce was the senior
Vice-Chancellor; the other was, that he was not styled
Vice-Chancellor of England in the patent under which
he held his appointment.
