LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Dec. 21.
(Before Lord CRANWORTH.)
CHAMBERS V. TAYLOR.

Mr. TAYLOR mentioned the application which be
had made a few days back for the discharge of the
defendant from custody,,94who had been in prison for
upwards of fifteen years for a contempt of the Cuurt
in not putting in his answer. The contempt had been
cleared by payment of costs in 1836, and since the
last application all the phlintiffs in the cause had been
served with notice of the motion.

His LORDSHIP inquired why the prisoner had
chosen to remain in custody so long, observing that
it could hardly be other wise than his own obstinacy,
of which the process of this court would have the
discredit.

Mr. TAYLOR said it was rather from the ignorance
of the prisoner, and from the oversight of those who
visited the prison under Sir Edward Sugden's Act.
His LORDSUIP said if the defendant had been de-
sirous of leaving the prison it could rarely have hap-
p, tied that he would not have learnt from some person
his right to be discharged. He made the order.
