LAW INTELLIGENCE—(Ims DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

Mr. BauCx requested to know when it would be con-
venient for his Lordship again to hear his case.
His LORDSHIr had !heard Mr. Bruce for 10 hours suc-
cessively, he had sat for that purpose till one o'clock on
Sunday morning, and it was his intention to hear it again
! next "Saturday, on which day he should sit till it was
tidally disposed of.
Thus the case rests at present.

MORGAN AND OTHERS IN THE IHATTRR OF WHITTAKER.
Mr. MONTAGUE was instructed to request the Court's
early judgment in this case.

CRANV.SHAY V. COLLINS.
Upon this case being called on, a long discussion took
place as to on whom the burthen lay of opening the case;
Mr. Horne contending it was a re-hearing of the whole de-
cree, and Mr. Sngden that it was not ; in consequence of
some irregularity having been discovered in• the course of
the discussion,

Mr. HoitNF. requested that the case might stand over,
for the purpose of amending the petition, which could be
done iu a week.
His LORDSHIP ordered the case to stand at the bottom
of the present paper.
Mr. BICK ERSTETH said he should now ask the Court for

the benefit of one of the new Orders. This was a case in
which the party presenting the petition was not really to
proceed with it, and therefore, according to the Order to
which he referred, he considered he was entitled to the costs..
lUr. HoartF. submitted, that here time was of the essence
of the case, and that it grew out of a proceeding which
had its conception before the Orders, and that hii Learned
Ft iend was not entitled to what he asked.

His LORDSHIP requested when the case came again be-
fore-the Court, that his attention might then be directed

the costs.

Several of the appeals were called on, and could not be
proceeded with in consequence of the absence of Counsel,
in others there were discussions as to who were or who
were not to begin, and the Court was proceeding with the
appeal of Parry v. Parry when we left.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. AIoNTA-

CUE applied that a solicitor might be committed to the
custody of the Warden of the Fleet Prison, for contempt in
not having delivered the proceedings of a certain bank-
ruptcy, and also in not having sent in his bill of coats,
pursuant to a former order of the Court.
The VicE-Cit.c Emma. asked whether the solicitor had
been served with a notice of the present application.
Mr. MowraatlF. said that there was an affidavit of the
service.

HIS HONOU a made the order for the committal.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER.
STOPPING UP A FOOT-PATH.
THE KING V. ADAMS.
This was an indictment against the defendant for stop-
ping up a public path at Ware, in Hertfordshire. The
case was tried at the last Assizes for Hertford, when a ver.
diet was returned against the defendant, but as it appeared
that the footway, had been stopped up for 19 years and a
half without any complaint being made en the part of the
public, the Learned Jiulge who presided at the trial sug-
gested, that the parties should consent to have a ne.v path
opened at the expense of the defendant, its lieu of the old
path.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now moved for a rule to show
cause why all further proceedings should not be stayed until
next Michaelmas term.
Lord TENTERDEN inquired whether the object of the
application was to protract the proceedings until 20 years
bad elapsed, and the statute of limitations would interfere.
The SOLICITOW-GENERAL assured the Court that his
client had no such object. The gentleman at whose in-
stance the prosecution was instituted had expressej him-
self satisfied with the new footway, but another individual
belonging to the parish had taken up the business, and the
defendant was served with a notice that .he would be called
up for judgment on Thursday next. The defendant'S ob-
ject in asking for proceedings to be stayed until after
Michaelmas was, that by that time he expected the. new
footway, in making which he had incurred ;considerable
expense, would be open to the public. It was also im-
portant for the Court to know that the new footway was
opened in corwequence of a reference to Mr. Thessiger, at
the suggestion of the Learned Judge, before whom the
case was tried:
After consulting together the Court agreed to grant a
rule nisi. ' • -
CI.AIMS OF BRITISH SUBJECTS ON THE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT. - •
EX-PARTE TRUSTEES OF LAW AND CHEVALIER.
Sir J. SCARLETT moved for a rule to shoW cause why a
mandamus should not be directed to Gen. Collingwood, C.
M`Kenzie, Esq., and G. Hammond, Esq., Commissioners
for liquidating the claims of the British subjects against
France, calling on them to satisfy the balance of an award
made by them. This award was made in consequence of a
treaty made between this country and France, in 1814.
By an article of that treaty, the French Govern-
ment contracted to pay all debts contracted with
the subjects of England during the war. In pur-
suance of this article the sum of 150,000 francs in
the perpetual rentes was assigned over by the French Go-
vernment to the Commissioners. Those Commissioners
had awarded the sum of 44,296 francs, as due to the
trustees of Law and Chevalier, which was equal to 2,422
francs in the perpetual French rentes. Nit 53 per cent.
however, of the sum awarded, had been paid, and when
the Commissioners were applied to, to pay the remaining
balance of 47 per cent. they refused to do so on the ground
that the. fund assigned over by the French Government
was inadequate to the claims allowed by the
,Commis-
sioners. The Trustees "of Law and Chevalier were Lord
Bexley, Sir R. H. Inglis, and Job M. Raikes, Esq. and
the application was founded OR an affidavit made by Mr.
Richardson, the solicitor fOr the Trustees, and by Sir
R. H. Inglis.
The COURT inquired whether the case could not be
brought before the Privy Council. Under the Act, by
which the fund was transferred to the Commissioners, it
did not appear that the questions arising out of that Act
were to be decided by a Court of Justice.
Sir JAMES ScARLETT replied that if the Commissioners
had refused to make an award in favour of the trustees,
application might be made to the Privy Council, but the
Commissioners had made an- award satisfactory to the
trustees, having granted all they required, and the only
question now was, how they could be compelled to pay the
balance of that award.
After their' Lordships h6O consulted together for some
time, Lord 'rENTERDEN said, that the Court had deter-
mined to grant a rule to show cause why the Commis-
sieners should not hear anti determine upon the claims of
the trnstees, and it would then be competent for the trustees
to appeal to the Privy Council,
Sir J. Scitar.rrr expressed himself satisfied with a rule
in these terms, which was accordingly granted.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
DODIBLAS AND OTHERS V: FORREST.

On Saturday last, Mr. Sergeant WTl:at obtained a rule
to chew cause why a new trial should not be granted; and
this day Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET appeared to chew cause
against the rule.

The plaintiffs are the assignees of Messrs. Stein and Co.
of Edinburgh, to whom a person uamed Hunter was a
clerk prior to the year 1800. 11e went to India, where
he died in 1817. After he had been absent many years,
it was discovered that he was indebted to Messrs. Stein
and Co. in the sum of 4501., and, according to the usage
of Scotland, a horn was wound at the Market-cross of
Edinburgh, reyjii jag him to appear on the shore of Leith,
to pay the said debt, or defend the said action. Hunter
knowing nothing of this did not appear, and judgment
-was obtained against him, and an action of assnmpsit was
brought against his executor in England, founded upon the
judgment against hinself in Scptland. The around taken
against this action was, first, that aasumpsit, under the Cir.,
cumstances, could not lie.; and, secondly, th;.t the statbte
of limitations barred the right of the plaintiffs to recover.
The Court was occupied the whole' of the morning in
heariug the
