'about six miles from Lancastrr, during the dread-
ful thUnder,,torm, on Saturday sentught. As a
person ,Of the name of ,Taylor was sitting alone in
his house, be heard something sctatch at the
kitchen door ; thinking it was the car, he opened
the door, and, to his great surprise, ,a large foul-
mart (or polecat) rushed, past him,•and.sat down
:by the fire. 'The mau; astonished, sat down in
,his chair; looked earnestly at. the strange visitor,
which also stared hard at him ; at length; after a
loud clap of thunder, the foulmart leaped upon the
man's lap; who, not liking to touch the animal
with his 'rands, took up the tongS, seized it by the
back, and put it into a wire c ige, in which he ex-
hibiied. it to' his .astbnished,ueig4bours, many of
whose docks, as well as his owd, had lately had.
their heads bitten o tf, as is suPposed, by this

COURT OF CHANCI RY, Auc. 15.
BANKRUPT PETITIONS.

COUNTRY BANKERS.

EX rwrz ROWTON AND MOREHAPL, IN THE .I%IAT-

TEit OF DRICKWOOD AND CO.

Mr. LEACH and Mr. MONTAGUE, 00 the par of
the petitioners, who are partners in the Banking
concern carried on at ShreWsbury, under the firm of
the Shrewsbury Bank, stated this to, be applies,
non of the greatest impottance to the fate of
the petitioners, whose . preservation or ruin de-
fended on the nature of the
,Order his. Lordship
might be pleased to give, The Bankrupts, Messrs.
Brickwood and Co. were the Town Bankers,. or
A:zents !.or the petitioners'in their banking concerns,
mid, at the-period of the Stoppage ,of Messrs. Brick-
wood's House, the state of accounts between .the
parties stood as follows :
The petitioners had rernitted.Messrs. .
wool in short bills, - - 1. gi,,ogo
In various cash payments upwards of - 22,000

43,090
and the rash advances made by Messrs. 'Brickwood,
on account of the petitiOners, amounted to 26,0001.
The pr, sent application therefore W-as made, ,that,
on the p, titioners paying to the assignees on Messrs.
Brit kwoud's estate the sum . of 3006 odd hundred
pounds, being the difference by which the advances
by Messrs. Brickwood for the petitioners exceeded
the payments in cash made by the petitioners to the
House of Messrs, Brirkwoed, the 2.1,u001. worth of
short His should be delivered up to the petitioners.
There could be no question, it Messrs. Brickwood
bad been soltent, that they; being fa&ors for the
petitioners, could not have resi-ted such an applica-
tion pn their part, and the Learned Counsel sub-
mitted that the assignees could stand in no better
situation than the Baekrtipts, whom they must be
understood to represent. •
It was stated, however, that here writs of extent
had been taken out by the Crown, by which. the
situation of earties,. was- altered. They were
at a loss, however, to see what difference ties could
maite on the right of the petitioners to recover back
their property, placed by them as securities in the
bands of heir Agents. The Crowit must of course
have twenty shillings in the pound, but' there wa's
nothing to preirent other creditors from using proper
diligence, and thereby getting to themselves a 'pre-
ference. Supposing that to happen, still the petiti-
oners could not be disappointed of their just rights.
The assignees seemed to be sensible of this, when,
in.a correspondence that had taken place on the sub-
jai, they expressed their readieess to give every fa-.
airy to any apPlitation to he made by the petitio-
ners for having. these short • Bills paid Over to them:
Theirovvn Counsel too, Mr. Dampier, when consult-
ed on the subjee,le gave it as his opinion, that the
assignees should give every assistance in their power
•to:tee proinotieg of such a: measure. The Learned
Conns-I. tirelefore could hardly calculate on any op 7
pesition to a request so highly just and reasonable.
The petitioners were placed in 'a most unfortunate
and disagreeable situation, to extricate themselves
from which they had a right to expeCt every assist-
ance that they could receive from Messrs. Brick-
Wood or I heir Assignees. But for the stoppage of
Messrs. Brickwood nothing onplea-ant could !Tie
occurret to the petitioners..' The paying over to
them now the sums of their's, deposited by them as,
securities ;n the' hands of their agents, after satis-
fying -all-claims on their part, woulJ enable them
still to go en in business; but a delay. in comply-
ing with this application must involve the petitioners

• in ruin.
Sir S. ROMILLY and Mr. HART, for the Assignees
on Messrs. Brick wood and Co.'s estate, expressed
how sincerely their clients felt for the unfortunate
-situation in whit h the petitioners were placed, and
with bow much p'easure they would assist in re-
moving the Übstruttions which presented them-
selves to a compliance:- with the wishes of the peti-
tioners, were it in their power. They were even
now-ready to comply with what was now demand-
ed, if his Lordship chose to.make an order to that
• effect. Here,. haweyer, an extent by the Crown
• had been taken taken ont against Messrs. Brickwood
and ,Co. to the amount of 45,0001.; next, there
was an extent in aid, on the ground that Brickwocd
and Co. were indebted to the petitioners, who again
were indeb:ed to the Crown; and thirdly, there
was an extent against the petitioners themselves.—
In the circumstances, and with their understind-
nig of the I.lw of ,the c:tse, the Assignees did not
fed themselves entitled, of themselves, to Olt the
securities belonging to the petitioners, which had
• come into ilteir hands. :.They were ready, however,
• to give full and eitiro obedience to any order made.
by his Lordship to that and they shou:d be
fir.from tel rig reluaance .doing. so. In justice
to the Assignees. the Learned Counsel begged al-0
to state; that wherever any application of the kind
had been. made Wthent, .where there was no writ
of extent to induce them to question their power of
compliance, they, had uniformly and instantly.yield-
ed to the' application, and had given up many
thousand pounds worth of securities in this tnan-
ner.—They were here ready to wait his Lordship's

order. • . .
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, without the con-
sent of both parties, he had here no jursdiction.--
Such a qu-sir could riot properly come before
hint, in the usual adm4iistration of.the a;sets.of
Bankrupts. In such a vase, even were the Assig.;
nee; to consent to abide by his juclgrnent, and it
..snonld.l.); wrong, he warned ihein.that &lir), would,
not be protected, in consequence of their having '
acted under any order of the Lord ChancOor, in a
case in which he had no juiisdiction. .It his Lord-
ship were to be supposed to have jurisdiction over
siich a case as this., he should not be surprised, at
9qlrne future reriod, to hear of a person who had'
left his chest of plate with his banker, atterWards
coming to that Court, and calling on his Lordship
to try action of Troyer for recovery of the chest
of plate. Without a consent. however, from all
parties,' he could do nothing. He should, in the

mean the F•etltion to stand in the paper,
for: the consetit of the parties. -

- after some interval,, all,aling to
the.juri,diction w such a case as this, .undertook,
horn the bof,k4,. to derripnorit that the jurisdittioo
of the Lord Girancellor ezittnded to' very thing in
,Bankrtrptcy. ,

The LORD CHANCELLOR "laid, he should be
happy to hear M. Montague On this point ; but
.was afraid that, in 'his own. experience, he could
point Out many autlnitit.es against so wide a jurts-

POINT OF PRACTICE.

,
On an applicalion made. by Mr. COOK that a
Bankrupt Petition might stand at the bottom of
the paper,.
Sir 'SAMUEL ROWILLY opposed it.

The 1,0“ D Cu*NcELLottiaid, " &representation
has been m.:de to me of the enormous .expence, and
other iticonv(niet:cies resulting to
.those, Suitors of
Court whose business is delayed, in consequence of
this habit of deferring petitions, the which if you
(Mr. Cook) were to see yon would Teadiiy assent to.
what I now say,••--that the evil is quite alarming, and
I now wish Gentlemen of the Profession, both
Counsel, and those who sit hefe in another tank in
it, to understand me now to be determined that I
will ,put off no petitions in Bankrupt( y, while 1 have
the Ln of sitting- here, unless those who apply
for putting them off shall pay the casts arising from
that delay. .1 think this mischief owing, lam sorry
to say, to the vicious indulgence of the Court itself,
in a great degree. I must repeat, that I will not
put off any Bankrupt petitions unless those *ho ap-
ply to have them deferred will pay the costs occa-
sioned thereby." •

In the morning-a Lidy appthed in Court, for t 4 e
ptirpoe of transferring 40001. stock, star ding in her
own name, to that of her husband.

When the questions usual in such' cases were in
the cou. se of being put to the Lady, the. Lord Chan-
cellor happening to perceive' that the Sol circir em-
ployed .in the business Was standing by the Lady,
and prompting her in the answers she as to make,
threw the paper from bun, ob,erVnig, Ural he should
proceed no :archer iit.that b ,uness; duri.,g the pr(.-
sent day, and tlf I u ‘4 as the duty of Soii. iturs to tare
on their guard, how they pres.aned to interfere in
the a,dmiilstranou of any of the tunetions of that
Court; of • which.the oue now- interrupted W3S not
the least important or salutary in its nature and -con,
sequences.
