Every circumstance has concurred in giving in-

LAW INTELLIGENCE. -MB Di

COURT OF CHANCERY.
At the skiing of the Court this morni2bid
Wellesley requested that his Lordship wool iii
kind as to indulge hint with a private inttillwo
the course of the day, in the presence of AIP A
den. If the Court wished it he would state rl:4li
ject he had in view now; bireiiwould be mui.i
agreeable to him if it were in private.
. His Lot-mostly, wished to know whether it
be convenient for Mr. Vvrellesley to attend Pc
one o'clock.
• Mr. Wellesley said any time his Latishlp.
think proper ; and after expressing himself
for the indulgence of the Court he sat down. Ago
His LORDSHIP observed, he thought it wolf
much better that it should be in private, as
no motion:
A Gentleman who was standing behistii
benches appropriated for Counsel, hoped his
Ship would allow him to address the CoertAdt
minute, with respect to a bankrupt's oer7„,"
that was to be granted on the 26th of the r
month.
His LORDSHIP wished to know whether it
any motion or petition. ' ,11P
The Gentleman said it. was not, but that
Court would not allow him to proceed, perhillor;
would feel satisfied in perusing a very shay,.
respondence..
His LORDSHIP observed there must Fe eettleit
don or petition; there, should be some atop P! ,
thin mode of proceeding. If the gentleman low'IS•
thing to state, if. he would coremutiiettte it 0:
Lordship's SecretarY,it should be attended to.
IN RR cORoNHR OF IiOTTINGITAH.
The Court gave judgment in this ease. Jim
question was with respect •to the validity fit
election of a gentleman to the offieo:of Coronet`
the of Nottingham. It appeared that iwroo
were two Coroners, one of. Whom acted forl
northern, and the other for the southern districtio
this Court. One of the gentletnen.diedP a writ,
then issued for another election,. and fro gen;10•40
solicitors of the names of Shelton and Sways
candidates for the office. They both carried
holiness in the town of Nottingham, whiefiLit
made a town. and county' of itself, by a cOlt-i„
granted in the reign of Henry VI. Mr. Shut
besides his offices its the town, .had also a
without •its limits insthe county, which he bin.
occupied. Mr. Swan was also possessed of ><To
hold tenement situated in the. eatirity, which"efir
occupied by a tenant, but he had: reserved to 90
self a right to part of it. The orditisty meerintitio
such occasions took place, and'at the close 0124
slay Mr. Shelton had the minority; he then Si
to the freeholders that Mr. SWan was. not 2.1e1
dent in the county; and, therefore, under dorsi
of ParliuMent, all rotes given to him would be of
avail. Mr. Swan was elected by a great merit
The present= petition was then presented bi oit
Shelton, arid Mr. Shelton only, contending ,'pt
Mr. Swan could not be considered as an inhsins
of the county, inasmuch as the house of which
was possessed was in the occupation Ls
tenant, and therefore his election was illegal. ..1';04
were three Acts of Parliament Upon the r
jeer of the election of Coroners, which were ,d
tioned at the Bar—the 3d Edward 1., 14th Ed P?
IL, and 28th Edward 111., the last of which it 10
only necessary for the Court to observe upon.
that Statute his Lordship did not see anything Lit
would render Mr. Swan' ineligible for the impel;
office he had been called upon to fill; for it wag ei
he was a freeholder, that he bad lands in fee in,
tie
county,. and a place where he might reside it -is,
thought proper. No case' had, been
..t eiPtici,
consistent with the opinion tne con—nevi
with respect to the Act. There' were ins
0,1
in which the-Coroner of the city sad coantb,
a
the county of York was the stinks person tli°
question in that instance had come before /101
Eldon, and, it did not' appear that that N°
Lund had come to a - conclusion' different to that
which the Court had now expressed. His Lot;
ship then referred at some length 'to other filee,
of the prayer of the petition.' Upon the rril
the Court thought its right cburie to l'
would would be to dismiss .the petition;' but as it woo
question of some nicety, and one that had not ctihip
distinctly before the Court previously, hitsLords:o
did not feel himself justified in dismissing it e
costs.
