ports from France in that year amounted, according to
the official value, to 1,790,5611., on which the sum of
1,605,786/. was paid as duty.
The official value of the exports to France, in the
same year, was 1,171,4701., viz.—
Foreign and Colonial Merchandize - - - £899„295

Bridal and Irish Manufactures and Produce 279,115
But the declared value of the latter exceeded consider-
ably, the official value, being stated at 860,6311.
We were hardly prepared to find that the whale
value of articles of actual British and Irish production,
exported to France, bore so small a proportion to the
value of French goods imported into this country.

THE FUNDS.

The British Funds evince considerable firmness, and although
no very considerable business has been transacted, still the market
looks well ; Console opened at 77+ 1, aud immediately afterwards
went to 771 4, and after suffering a trifling depression, are again
at that rate. The accounts from the country are said to be more
favourable in the manufacturing districts, and Money Stock is
scarce. In the Foreign Securities, Mexican and Colombian re-
.main at the prices of yesterday, there seems, however, a tendency
to advance in all these Funds; Mexican are 484 ; Colombian,
324 i; Brazilian, 544 54 ; in Shares there appears a little stir,
and General Mining Shares, which have scarcely been heard of for

LAW INTELUG tNe E.
COURT OF CHANCERY.--(Tms DAY.)
IN THE MATTER OF LADY GRESLEY.

Mr. TINNY stated, that a Commission of Lunacy
was to be executed on Monday next at 13erwick-upon.
Tweed, but that some of the parties interested in the
estate and affairs.of her Ladyship, considered it ex-
tremely necessary that that Conunission should he
superseded, and that another should issue, to be opened
in London. He held in his hand a petition for that
purpose.
His LOIIDSHIP said, from what he had already
stated in lunacy, he was bound to read every petition
presented to him before he muted the prayer of them,
and therefore he desired to see the present petition.
He wished likewise to know if notice of it had been
(riven.
_ _

Mr. TINNY said no
; it had been utterly impossible
to have given notice from want of time.

His LORDSHIP observed, that notice to the agents
in town would do, if they were known.
Mr. TINNY knew them, aid if his Lordship pleased,
notice might be given to them in the course of the day.
His LORDSHIP ordered notice to be given to them
immediately, that the petition should come on on
Monday.
Mr. TINNY hoped his Lordship would stay pro-
ceedings in the meantime, which his Lordship com-
plied with.

HODSON D. QUARRY.
Mr. DUCICWORTII stated, that in this case the
Court had been pleased to direct an issue to try to
whom 15,0001. belonged. The assignees, and other
parties, had agreed to divide the fund rather than go to
law, there to tear themselves to pieces.
His LORDSHIP thought he ought to see the peti-
tion to know whether that was right or not. He de-
sired to be furnished with the petition, which he pro-
mised to read and consider.

TELLISON V. WOODFORD.
Mr. Hart said, in this case, a reference had been made
to the Master to enquire whether it would be. reasonable
and proper that an application should be made to Parlia-
ment respecting the sale of some property ; that the Muter
had reported it would; that if the Court should confirm
the report it would be extremely material that the parties
should be preparing to go there at the first meeting of the
House, and therefore the present application was, for leave
to have the case put into his Lordship's paper.—Leave
granted.

DOMVILLE r. SOLLT AND OTHERS.
This was a motion that occupied the whole of yesterday,
and a great part of to-day.
Messrs. Sugden and Swanstone were Counsel for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Palmerston for the defendants.
The defendants were gentlemen who carried on mer-
cantile business in St. Mary Axe, to a considerable extent.
Their father Avas originally in the business, and after his
death, Mrs. Solly and the defendants, her sons, continued
it. In 1819, Mrs. Solly died. Previous to her death,
she was extremely anxious to know the exact extent of
her interest in the business, that she might not, as she
expressed it in her letters to her sons, have her me-
mory reproached by a statement that she had given lega-
cies
by her will, which she had not property to answer.
Over and over again she was assured by the defendants, that the
interest amounted to at least 100,0001. Her property, after her
decease, was sworn to amount to under 100,00 W. The defend-
ants stated, in 1821, that all debts due from the partnership were
paid off in December, 1816, and that, from that time, they had
received no less than 1,427,269/. The plaintiff is a solicitor, a
co-executor with the defendants, And son-in-law of the testatrix.
When the legatees came to asks for their legacies, the defendants
turned round and said, though they hid made the representations
to their mother of her interest being to such a large extent, yet
that, by deductions not then adverted to, Mrs. Sony's
interest did not amount to more than 17,0001., which
had been paid to her credit. The result was, the
filing. of the present bill, Calling for an aceount of all the part-
nership accounts, and laying the foundation for the present mo-
tion, that the Conk 'would order 31,000/. to be paid into Court,
on the ground,, as the 'plaintiff thought, that on every principle ap-
plying to the case, this sum, and more than this sum, must bel
due to the testatrix, anti that a receiver might be appointed on
the estate.

His Loanutte expressed himself to theifollowing effect at the
close of the arguments: This was an exceedingly important mo-
tion: There was no doubt that the ordinary rule of the Court
was, that where money was asked to be paid into Court, it was
necessary to prove that the money was in the hands of the parties
against whom the motion was directed. The Court, however,
could not say that a defendant should be at liberty so to frame his
answer as to make it extremely difficult to find out whether that
balance was admitted to be in hand or not: Affidavits explanie.
tory of a defendant's answer might be called for, because it was the
incumbent duty of the Court, particularly where executors and
partners were concerned, to know the truth of a case, even though by
affidavit, to explain an answer. In the whole course of his Lord-
ship's judicial life, he had not seen a more important case, and one
in which more serious and distressing questions might arise at the
hearing of the cause, than the present; and he spoke feelingly
and sincerely when he said he did not believe the defendants were
aware of the difficulties in which they might be placed, if this
cause were to go on. As the Court understood the case, there
had been two partnerships here ; one between the testatrix and
her two sons, Thonias and Isaac ; the other was between Samuel
and Hollis; as well as a Dantaic trade carried on by another son
of the name of Edward. When those partnerships were
formed were not material, but the one in which Mrs. Solly
was a partner, determined in December, 1816. Her late partners
were her representatives, as a deceased partner; and also her re-
presentatives, as her co-executors, and therefore they came here in
1826, under this prima facia manifest obligation, that they
were bound, and because bOund, at least to be expected to be
able to give a clear account of the property due the testatrix, and
their late partner ; and this motion the Court was compelled to
consider not only as a motion against the defendants, who are
executors, but as a motion against sham, .in the. character
of partners also. The account of what the testatrix's in-
terest was represented to be, when probate of her will
was taken out, happened to be a most material circumstance ; and
how it came to pass that statements were made of immenie sums
being due to. Mrs. Solly, front time to time, both before and after
her death, if the small sum of 17,0001. now alleged only to have
been due and paid, would have to be most clearly, distinctly, and
satisfactorily explained by the defendants when the cause came to
be heard. What was to be done on the present motion would
have to be regulated by the strict rule of the Court ; and the dif-
eulty that struck his Lordship, for some time, was to know
the sum, after all the necessary deductions were made, that
ought to be considered as admitted to be in the hands of the de-
fendauts, belonging to their mother, and which they should pay
into Court. As, to the dealings respecting a timber contract,
Mentioned in the pleadings, there was an extraordinary mystery;
the defendants, however, should have the opportunity of explain-
ing the altering of the accounts, &c. with regard to this part of
their statement. The result of what was before the Court was,
that Thomas was indebted to the partnership ; that there were
no debts due from the partnership,- as far as his Lordship could
find out ; that 68,000/. had been received by the defendants
beyond their payments, and the question was, how much of
that sum could reasonably be ordered into Court. His Lord-
ship's opinion was, that the thirty-one thousand pounds sought
to be paid in, was sufficiently acknowledged in the answer to be
due, and in the hands of the defendants, to authorise the Court to
make the order for the bringing of it in. As for a receiver, this
was likewise a case in which it was high time that a receiver
should he appointed on the estate, and therefore the order should
be made as prayed. The defendant* might make an affidavit, if
they pleased, explanatory of their Dantaic dealings ; and if they
did, the Court would hear it on Tuesday next.
Mr. SUl:Mati was confident that they never, would attempt to
make such an affidavit. He wished to know when the Court
would he pleased to order the -bringing in of the money. He
wished to give a reasonable time.
After a few observation:4 as to the time of paying the Money, it
was ordered, flat the 81,0001. should be paid into Court,
on or
before the first day after the first seal.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S' COURT.—(Tura Dar.)
DINISDALE V. RTDIII..
Mr. JACOB said, that he was instructed to make a motion on
behalf of the plaintiff in this ease, under the following circum-
stances. An action had been brought some years ago by the de-
fendsnt against the plaintiff for 9001, the former representing
