LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY. Mar' 6.

The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to-cay.
His Lordship was occupied the whole morning with the part-heard
bankrupt petition " Ex parte Van Sandau a. Martin."

ROLLS' COURT, May 6.
His ardship the Master of the rods was occupied the whole day
with petitions of no general interest.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, May 6.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Or ENGLAND.)
BOHN v. DOHN—JUDGMENT.
His HoNona gave judgment to-day in this case, which was
argued before the Court a short time since upon petition. The
question in the case related to the property of the late Mr. Bohn,
the eminent bookseller in Henrietta-street, Covent-garden. The

cstator, upon whose will the suit was founded, gave 5,0001 to
trustees for the benefit of one of his daughters ; he also gave the like

sum of 5,0001. for the benefit of another; and then he gave the
residue of his personal estate equally between all his seven chil-
dren, and he appointed Mr. Henry George Bohn and another per—
son his executors. Some disputes arose, in consequence of which
a bill was filed, and a decree made, by which, among other things
(there being a valuable stock of books belonging to the testator in the
house in Henrietta-street), it was directed that the testator's house
and shop in Henrietta-street, Covent.garden, with the good-will
of his trade of a book'eller, and also his books, should be sold
with the approbation of the Master. Certain proceedings took
place in the Master's Office, and the Master ultimately di.
reefed that four auctioneers should be employed to WI the
books. Mr. Sotheby was to sell the theological works to
an amount not exceeding 6,0001. in value; Mr. Evans
was to sell the rare books not exceeding 2,0001. in value ; Mr.
Hodgson, the quire stock and miscellaneous works of Mr. M'Cul.
loch's library, not exceeding 1,0001. in value; and Mr. Fletcher
was to sell the residue. It was shown that in the month of August
in the last year, notice was given to Mr. Hodgson, by which it ao.
peered that the recognisances which he had to enter into were ad
mitted to be executed by himself and his sureties, but on the 4th
of November a notice was sent to him that though the recognisances
had been executed, still the Master had not made his report, and
therefore he was not finally appointed the auctioneer to sell a por-
tion of the testator's books. On the same day Mr. Henry George
Bohn, who seems to have had the general dominion over the place
in which the books were deposited, concurred with Mr. Hodgson in
removing part of the stock, which it was intended Mr. Hodgson
should sell, and on the llsth of November there was a further
removal; and that led to the filieg of a supplemental
bill, and upon an application to the Court for the purpose an in-
junction was granted, restraining the removal of the books, and it
*was referred to the Master to appoint a proper person to receive and
take charge of the books until the sale or further order of the Court.
The Master appointed, on the Bth of February, in the present year,
a Mr. Alexander Perry to be the receiver, and on the 17th, a
letter was written by Messrs. Naberley and Sons,
the solicitors for the plaintiff, to Mr. Hodgson, giving
him notice that Mr. Perry was appointed to the
office of keeper of the books, and stating at the same
time that Mr. Perry had that morning called upon them
and stated that he had seen Mr. Hodgson; that he had informed
him of his appointment, and requested him to de.
liver back the books to Henrietta.street ; but as Mr. Hodgson
requested that all applications might be made in writing,
the Messrs. Maberley, as the solicitors of the plaintiff;
and also on behalf of Mr. Perry, authorised Mr. Hodgson to give up
the books into the custody of Mr. Perry. Several
communications took place between the parties, Messrs. Ma-
berly and Sun insisting that Mr. Henry George Bohn was the pets=
who ought to remove the books to Henrietta-street, Mr. Henry
George Bohn contending that, as Mr. Perry was appointed the
receiver, he was the party who ought to remove and take charge of
the books. After some further correspondence and proceedings, the
present petition was presented, praying that Mr. Henry
George Bohn should be directed forthwith, at his own
expense, to deliver over to Mr. Perry the books
George Bohn had no authority
. fie
In question. Now it appeared to his Honour, whatever might be-
come of the final question about the expense of removal, that, as
of Mr. Hod saes not the person to remove
them from the custody n ; but if Mr. Hodgson, upon
thewha matterte:erto
n now u scthoo
abd M
a proper application being made to him for that purpose refused
to deliver them up, then an application to the Court might become
necessary. The sole dry question Le/ore the Court was, whether
Henry George Bohn could be called upon to interfere in the deli-
very (.f the books. The Jew roust have his bond ; and as Messrs.
oorlc. Henry
Maberly and Sons had gone strictly upon the utmost extremity of
the dry legal right, it was but fair that that which they had sought
to get should be meted out to them. His Honour thought that
Messrs. Maberly and Sons had been all along led, by
a false scent. They thought that they could mix
up with the question of the removal of the books at whose expense
that shots dbe done. The Court's opinion upon the whole there-
fore was, that the petition was totally unnecessary, and must be
dismissed with costs.
