EMPEROR OF' RUSSIA.-

GREW V. SOMERVILLE.
to think of this •
Mr• Sugden hoped the Court would have the gaodneas
client had just'cori4 of age, and was much in want of the
money, every shilling of
case, and dispose of speedily. His poor
whiCh was tied up in Court 11
the order of the Vice-Chancellor. He believed his Lord-
ship had all the Merl, and he had hoped the
Russia would have withdrawn his claim.
Mr. Hart contra...-Well, but my Lord Chancellor
Emperor of
happens not to be the present or past Emperor of Russia,
mid we are here upon a question of debtor and creditor.
Mr. Sugden—You don't say so I
Mr. Hart—l do, indeed.
His Lordship—Well, I shall attend to it, but I don't
know that the Emperor of Russia, L—
una not a much more
comfortable situation than the Chancellor of England.
PRACTICE IN ABANDONING MOTIONS.
Mr. Sugden applied for the costs of a motion Mr. Horne
was to have made against his client, but which he now
understood was abandoned.
Mr. Horne contended Mr. Sugden had lost the oppor-
tunity of applying for the costs. Notice of the motion in
question had been given seven months ago, and the mo-

tion had been abandoned for the last half year. If the
costs could have been asked for, the application ought to
have been made long ago.
Mr. Sugden was astonished that this statement had
been made by his Learned Friend. On every motion
day he had his brief in his bag, and he had delayed men-
tioning it until to-day, from courtesy to Mr. Horne.
Neither he nor his client ever knew that the motion had
been abandoned until now.
His Lordship desired to be regularly informed when
both Mr. Sugden and his client knew that Mr. Horne's
motion had been abandoned, and, upon that statement
should the Court decide the question in dispute.

ATTORNZY-GENERAL V. SKINIgia COMPANY.-WILLMAN Y.

How SING.
His Lordship stated that he should give judgment in
these two cases on Tuesday next. The latter is the cue
in which an old gentleman, a few days ago, asked for
judgment, which his Lordship stated he should attend to,
but that the oftener the party asked for it, the less likely
was he to get it.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—(Try DAy.)
The Seal which commenced on Monday last did not
terminate until this day. It was the longest that has ever
occurred in this Court—a fact which is clearly illustrative
of the extraordinary increase of business in Chancery.
Mr. Spince was instructed to make a motion, with
which he was rather unwilling to trouble the Court. It
was for an order to have the sum of 241. paid into
Court. He was aware that the expences attending such
an order would exceed the sum itself. It was much to be
desired that some rule should be made, fixing upon a
minimum for such applications. His Honour had made an
order yesterday for paying 32/. into Court, and he could
not tell his client that a similar order would not be granted
for 241.

The Vice Chancellor said, that there ought to be a rule
for such applications; but he could not grant this motion,
as the expences would amount to more than the sum itself.

GWYN/ V. LYNX.
Mr. Knight moved the Court to restrain the defendant,
a money lender, from proceeding on a bond given to him
by the plaintiff, for the sum of 7001., which he had swelled
by the various devices practised by money-lenders, into
a sum of 23001., for which he now held a post obit bond.
The plaintiff had offered him a compensation of 16001.,
which was more than equivalent to his just demands—he
hoped that under these circumstances his Honor would
extend to his client the protection of the Court.
The Vice-Chancellor—You must pay the 1,600/. into
Court, Mr. Knight.
Mr. Knight consented, and the motion was accordingly
granted.
