LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the last day of Hilary Term, the Ixrd
Chancellor took -appeal motions, but nothing of any
interest came before the Court, and his Lordship rose
at an early bour to attend the 'prang of Parliament in
the House of Lords.

ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
ALLFREY V. ALLFREY.—JUDGMENT.
The MA STEIt ef the ROLLS gave judgment this morning
in this case, which came before him a short time since
upon motion on behalf of the defendant, that the certi-
ficate of the Master, allowing certain interrogatories,
might be taken off the file of the court. His Lordship
dismissed the motion with costs.
ROBERTSON V. SKELTON.— JUDGMENT,
The MASTER C f the ROLLS also gave judgment in this
case, in which the only question was, whether interest
should he paid on the purchase-money from the time of
the purchase, or from the time when the Master made
his report finding a good tit'e. His Lordship thought
that interest should only be paid from the time the
Master made his report, and ordered accordingly.
Nothing of any interest occurred in any of the other
Equity Courts.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
:Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE,
Mr. Justice MADLE, Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, and

TEIORNE V. SIMMONS.
_

Mr. GRIFFITHS, on the part of the defendant in this
case, moved the Court fir a writ of prohibition to be
directed to the Judge of the County Court at Luton,
calling upon him to stay proceedings in en action in
that court in which a verdict had been given fur the
plaintiff fir 71. 12e. 6d. It appeared that this sum
was the balance of an account amounting to 1671. 9s. 6d.
which arose between the parties who were the joint
overseers of a parish. The Learned Counsel moved for
the prohibition, 9n the ground that the amcunt of
167/. 9s. 6d., except the sum cf 71. ocP, Pas a set off,
and not a balance cf account ; and, theref)rr, that the
County Court had no jurisdiction. The summons was
returnable on the 28th November, and it was part heard
and adjourned until the next Court eay, and, tilt-
mutely, an order was made, on the 27th December, fir
payment to be male on the 7th of February next, so as
to give the parties time to come before this Court if they
thought necessary t) argue the question cf juriedicion.
The COURT said that the defendant having delayed
bringing the motion before the Court uati, the hie; :lay

of term, which precluded tho plaintiff showing caoße
until next term, they were of opinion there was no
ground in this case for deviating from the practice of the

Court, which was not to grant a rule nisi f,r writs cf
prohibition, except under peculiar circurostanceF, justi-
fying the exception, and ths.r.fire uo rule could go on
the subject.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Bdore Mr. Jubtice ERLE.)
JuNES V. LLOYD.

In this case a rule bad been obtained calling upc;ri the
plaintiff, and the Judge of the Cardigan County Court,
to show cause why 00 proceeding Lhould net be stopp, d
by a writ c f prohibition, on the ground of some inior-
n2ality in the original summons..
Mr. lustice ERLE now gave judgment, dismissing the
rule without coits. The defendant, he said, had ap-
peared and pleaded to the plaint, and, admitting that
the summons was informal, the tact of his appearing
waived all obj,ction on that point. When any infor-
mality was visible on the face f a County Court sum-
mons or order, it 0u.0.1t to be akcted to at once, and a
patty must act wait till judgment had been obtained
against him before he came to this Court for relief.
That, howc%er, was not the course that had been
adopted here, and he was of opinion, therefore, that
the rule ought to be discharged.
itule discharged.

ceeding to state the case, when
Mr. EDWIN JAMES said be was instructed by his
client to avoid, if possible, details which must be pair.-
ful to all parties interested being gone into, and was
willing t ) consent to a verdict fur 50/.
Mr. COoKE sad he could not compromise his crept,
hut if it Ras to be taken as a full admission, end so that
no impediment should be thrown in the way of ulterior
proceedings by plaintiff, and as a verdict was ono step,
he thought he could accept the offer.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said that the verdict
must either be by consent or evidence must be given.
Mr. CooKE slid he would consent, and a verdict was
then given for 501.
