COURT OF CHANCERY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at Lincoln's Inn
Hall to-day, for the first time after the recess. He
Proceeded at once to the bankrupt paper.
4-PARTE BRAITHWAITE, IN THF. MATTED. OF GRAVE.
Mr. GIRDLESTONE, sen., appeared for the peti-
tioner in this case, the prayer being to stay the bank-
rupt's certificate.
Mr. KNIGHT interposed the preliminary objection
that the solicitor, Mr. Vernon, of Manchester, who
attested the petitioner's signature, had not taken out
his certificate to practise as an attorney for the last
Year, and that, consequently, the terms of the
statute had not been complied with. This was sup-
Ported by the affidavit of a solicitor's clerk who had
searched the office. Mr. Knight too cited the case
of Wilkinson v. Wilkinson, in which the present
Master of the Rolls, while Vice-Chancellor, held the
present objection to be fatal.

Mr. GIRDLESTONE held the brief for a Learned
Friend, who was absent from town, and was not
preirred to meet that objection ; he, however, be-
lieved that the Courts of common law did not per-
/nit such a technical point as this to prevail, where
the party presenting the petition did not know the
fact, arid referred to Welsh v. Pebble, to maintain
this position.
The LORD CHANCELLOR desired to see the sta-
tute before he disposed of the question.
Mr. KNIGHT then raised another objection. He
said that by an order made by Lord Eldon, the
Court required that the signature of the petitioner
should he attested by the solicitor of the party, he
so describing himself; and that if the petition was
Presented by another solicitor, that the witness
should subscribe himself as the witness for the pe-
titioner in the matter of the petition. In this case
this had not been done; it was a petition Presented
by the agent, which
The LORD CHANCELLOR considered to be a valid
objection, and dismissed the petition with costs.
Mr. Horne was confined to his bed from illness,
and Mr. Heald's lady was stated to be so flange-•
rously ill, as to have prevented his appearance in
Court, and in consequence of their absence several
of the petitions were ordered to stand over.

VICE-CHANCELLORS COURT.
ER PARTE ACTON IN THE MATTER OF ACTON.
Messrs. ROSE, KNIGHT, and SUGDEN were heard
upon this Bankrupt petition, which is likely to
occupy the court for the entire day.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

VOOLE V. JAME,
..„This was an action by the Treasurer of the Sun
:t Office, against Mr. James, an attorney, residing
fExeter, for an alleged deficiency of Mr. Kemp the
°tnpany's agent, in the West of England; the de-
dant having entered into a bond as surety for Mr.
James.
before the case was proceeded with, the Arron-
sEt-OENERAL for the defendant, proposed that a
verdict should be taken for 4201., which was ac-
quiesced in by Mr. GURNEY for the plaintiff, arid a
verdict for 120/. was accordingly taken by consent.
MACRE V. MILLER.
`Mt. PLATT stated, that this was an action brought
by the nearest friend of an infant, to recover a re-
Ward of 20/. offered for the recovery of a pocket-
be
°lt, containing a bank-note for .500/. The plaintiff
"5 the son of poor people, and being sent out to
Purchase some articles at a grocer's shop, on the sth
uf Oct. last, when passing throagh Newgate-street
lie discovered a pocket-book, which he immediately
took Up; a boy, named Beaufoy, who was standing
niear, observed the plaintiff take up the pocket-book,and
tlailned half the contents, and as he was a larger boy
than the plaintiff, the plaintiff resorted to a decep-
ill part
and said the pocket-book was his father's.—
tonleap 4L'eatifoy was not satisfied with this, and wrenched it
spired, out of Diacre's hands, and was running away with
, hen the plaintiff called a person named Trasher,
extenso' . to assist him to recover the pocket-book. Trasher
togethe,' stopped Beaufoy, and took the pocket-book from
nd arabli him and gave it to the street-keeper (Honey), who
er annuli ultimately handed it to Mr. Miller, the owner. Mr.
Ma tiller has no objection to pay the reward, but as it
1.1,45 claimed by other persons besides the plaintiff,
Aliller did not feel justified in paying it to him.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the defendant, said
that the case was one of very strong suspicion.
The following witnesses were then called,
ti;iohn Brown, the printer of the Morning Adver-
f er, proved the insertion of an advertisement, of.
b'etittg a reward of 20/. for the recovery of a pocket-
-I°,olt, containing a 500/. Bank note in that paper.
'e advertisement was printed from a manuscript
"W lost. It was not exactly the same, for the
tanuscript was, " whoever will bring the same to
. Miller, Esq." and the compositor altered it to
The
whoever has found and will bring the same, Sze."
"le alteration was made because " whoever has
icund and will bring" is the usual form.
Mr. Charles Field, a cheesemonger, in Newgate-
toldstreet h,
im
stated that the defendant called on him, and
that he had lost a 500/. note. Witness
suggested an advertisement, and assisted in pre-
/N.4, one which was the same as that inserted in
the !
Sr ming Advertiser. Mr. Miller received the
)te the same evening from the street-keeper.
Witness and Mr. Mellish were appointed referees, to
examine who had a right to the reward as it was
cL,laimed by Beaufoy, a butcher's boy, by the plaintiff,
,7 the street-keeper, and by a person named Trasher.
the referees offered to divide the 20/. between the
claimants, but Beaufoy's father refused to let him
accept any thing less than the whole reward.—
in
'acre, the plaintiff, brought an affidavit of his find-
' the pocket-book, but he prevaricated so much,
and the other boy's assertions were so strong, that
the referees did not feel themselves justified in giv-
ing him the reward.
James Trasher stated, he saw the plaintiff run-
ning after Beaufoy, anti holding his coat; wit-
best took hold of Beaufoy, who had a pocket-
tiff his hand, which l)iacre (the plain-
") said belonged to his father. Witness
asked, if it belonged to his father, why he had it ?
and the plaintiff answered that his father got tipsy,
and lost it. Witness asked what it contained, and
the plaintiff replied, " nothing but papers." Wit-
ness then opened it, and discovered that it contained
a 5001. note; .and the Plaintiff said that his father
had got the note at his mistress's banker's.
Lord TENTERDEN said it was uite clear that it
could not be proved that tile Plaintiff found the note,
andl the Jury could not take his word for it, after
she falsehoods he had told. People in all ranks
should learn that they would best serve their own
illterest by telling the truth.
c Mr. PLATT admitted that he could not
prove the
"ncling of the pocket-book !
The plaintiff was therefore nonsuited.
