We have been favoured with the following copy of a

Excise 011iee in London, respecting the payment. of the
Hop Duty : .
" SIR—In consequence of a communication from the
Right Honourable the Lords of his Majesty's -Treasury,
stating, that as the time to which their Lordships have
extended their indulgence in regard to the payment of the
Hop Duty has now expired, they see no grounds for any
further interference on their part, the Commissioners or-
der, that the usual steps be taken for enforcing payment
thereof from all
ersons in our collection from whom the
same is due, as if yno such indulgenee had been granted.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(This DAv.)

IN THE MATTER OF SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER

A LUNATIC.

_ •
Mr. HEALD was instructed to ask his Lordship
now to confirm the Master's Report, appointing a
Committee of the lunatic's person ; as to which there
never could have been any difficulty, excepting the
pendency of the traverse. Tbe petition praying the
confirmation of the report was heard long ago, and
the comforts of the lunatic entirely depended on the
confirmation. Now his Lordship ordered it to be
confirmed, subject to any objection that might be made
on Friday morning. The Court apprehended the re-
sult of the traverse was, as it had all along anticipated.
Mr. HORNE said it was ; the Jury had found Sir
Gregoryalunatic in less than five minutes.
Mr. HEALD reminded his Lordship that the Com-
mittee had been appointed by the Court some years
ago.

His LORDSHIP was satisfied, that to-morrow some
body would tell him the matter had been mentioned
behind their backs.

Mr. HEALD said, every body consented to the pre
sent application.

His LORDSHIP.wished Mr. Heald to consider how
far every body could consent to the appointment of
the Committee, because he had had letters over and
over again from Sir'Gregory himself, saying he never
would consent to the appointment.
Mr. HEALD requested to know if his Lordship
thought it necessary to have the lunatic's consent ?
His LORDSHIP did not; but all this showed the
necessity of giving notice of the present application,
because unless notice was given, the Court was sure to
have a complaint made, on the ground of making the
order without notice having been given.
Mr. HEALD did not think it necessary to serve Mr.
Corbett ; they did not recognise him as appearing for
the lunatic at all, but if the Court desired it, they
would give him notice, and mention it again on Friday.
His LORDSHIP requested it to be mentioned again
on Friday.
