The LORD C/lASOF.LI.O3 took .lunatic . petitions
n
peals to-day.
SN TIIE CASE OE DICE SOMBRE, A LUNATIC.
This case came before the Court upon the petition of Mr.
Dyce Sombre, late M.P. for Sudbury, praying the super-
seding of the commission that had been issued against him.
Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. Wakefield were specially re-
tained on behalf of Mr. Ds cc Sombre.
Mr. Bethel' and Mr. Calvert appeared for the committee
of the person, Mrs. Dyce Sombre, and Mr. Tinneyfor the com-
mittee of the estate.
Sir T. Wilde was about to open the petition, when
Mr. Thmint,r., on behalf of the committee of the person,
took a preliminary objection to its being heard, on the ground
that Mr. Dyce Sombre was in Paris, and could not be exa-
mined by the Chancellor as to his state of mind. The Learned
Counsel submitted that no case had ever occurred in which
the Court had superseded the Commission without seeing the
object of it.
Mr. CALVERT followed on the same side.

Sir T. WILDE and Mr. WAKKFIELD contended that it was
not a necessary ingredient in superseding a Commission that
the Chancellor should see the object of it.
After some discussion, in which the Lord Chancellor re.
peatedly stated his strong opinion that he ought to see Mr.
Dyes Sombre before he could venture to supersede the Com-
mission, and it being intimated by Sir Thos. Vs that Mr.
Dyce Sombre had an impression that if he came to this coun-
try he would be deprived of his liberty,
Mr. BETIIELL, on the part of the committee of the person,
gave an undertaking that if Mr. Dyce Sombre came to this
country, nothing should be done to interfere with his liberty
exeepi under the order and sanction of the Lord Chancellor.
The Loup CDA—NcELLDE thought, if what had now been
done was communicated properly to Mr. Dyce Sombre, he
would not hesitate to come to this country. If he did so, he
might feel assured that he (the Lord Chancellor) would do
nothing to interfere with his liberty, unless he committed
acts of violence, and from what he (the Lord Chancellor) had
heard of the course of conduct pursued by Mr. Dyce Sombre
abroad, he believed that he would commit no such acts. The
only object he (the Lord Chancellor) could have in view was
the interest of Mr. Dyce Sombre, and that alone.
The petition was then ordered to stand over.

TULLOCII V. HARTI.EY.

The Court then proceeded with the further arguments in
this appeal, which occupied the Court the remainder of the
morning.
