LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(T1IN DAY,)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
WINTER V. LORD ANSON.
This case occupied the Court a considerable time
to-day. The MASTER of the ROLLS and VICE-
CHANCELLOR had decided that an equitable lien at-
tached on that part of the purchase money which re-
mained unpaid, that decision had been confirmed by
his Lordship, but upon. the case being argued at
Westminster, an objection was taken as to whether
that would apply to the copyhold property.
Mr. PRESTON appeared to contend that it did ; it
certainly was a most novel objection, and such as he
had never before heard, and was quite at a loss to
know how any distinction could be maintained.
Mr—SUGDIN, on the other side, contended that
lig case had yet occurred in which copyhold had
been held to be liable in this Cc.urt. It had been
admitted by his friends, who had searched the au-
thorities, that there was none exactly in point; and
that it would be singular if in 1828 his Lordship
Was to establish such a doctrine.
His LORDSHIP thoUght the case of great import-
_lance to the parties, and would give judgment in the
course of next week.l

JACXSoN V. BOURNE.
Mr. SUODEN stated, upon this case coming on a
Previous occasion, he took, in the mental absence
of his Learned Friend (Mr. Agar), who was corpo-
really present, such decree as he could abide by. That
decree, though in its terms much less than they were
entitled h to, and the case ad been quarrelled with,
had been set down for the purpose of setting aside
the decree. The Learned Counsel therefore ap-
prehended it was the duty of Mr. Agar to open his
case.

Mr. ACiAlt contended that the practice of the
Court was quite obvious, and that the case must be
opened de novo. - •
His LORDSHIP concurred in that, and thought the
onus of opening the case was on Mr. Sugden.
Mr. KNIGHT, who was with Mr. SUGDBN, then
proceeded to open the bill, but the facts having been
so often before the public, we do not consider it ne-
cessary to enter into them.
The case was proceeding when we left.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
mtnnt.imonx r. STORkft.
When this cause was called on, Mr. BICKER-
ITETH took an objection to its being proceeded with,
Ofi the ground that two of the defendants, who
Were stated to be out of the jurisdiction of the Court,
had not been sufficiently proved to be so.
Mr. BARBER said that the evidence on that head
was as, satisfactory as the Court generally required
in cases of this sort. It was here proved by Mr.
Thompson, clerk to the plaintiff's solicitor, that he
went to the office of the defendant's solicitor, and
that upon inquiring where Alexandrine Victorine
de la Tour and her husband then resided, he was
informed fry the clerk, that they were out of the
country, and had been so for some time.
Mr. BICICERSTETH submitted, that this was not
sufficient evidence to warrant the Court in proceed-
ing in the absence of these parties—the more parti-
cularly, as they were at this very time actually re-
siding in Cornwall, although upon the heiirsay evi-
dence of the solicitor's clerk, they were presumed
to be out of the jurisdiction of the Court.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought the proof ; isuf-
- ficent, and direCted the cause to stand over, the
plaintiff paying the costs of the day.

7.7 CONSISTORY
GnANT V. GRANT. •-=-.
This was a suit of divorce by reason of adultery,
at the instance of Mrs. Grant against her husband.
Dr. Lushington had, on a previous day, allotted her
an alimony of 41. a week to be paid by Mr. Grant;
she now craved permission to give in an additional
allegation of faculties, but as it contained no new
matter, and as it chiefly related to the domestic ar-
OingeMents and expenditure of Mr. Grant, without
affording any real evidence of his pecuniary resources,
the allegation was rejected by Dr. Lushington.
HARRIC r. I-LARR/1.
Application for alimony pendente lite was made
iu this case, which was also a suit of divorce by rea-
son of adultery, at the instance of the wife against
her husband, Captain Harris, R.N. His annual in-
eons amounted to 2501., and of this sum Dr. Lush-
ington ordained him to set apart 751. u year for the
maintenance of his wife.

LADY MANSELL. V. SIR WM. MANSELL.
Thin yetw a suit of divorce by reason of adultery.
The libel was admitted.

IRISH LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 25.
GRADY V. RICHARDS.
Thiß very extraordinary case continues to occupy
of King's Bench, which W/19 extremely
crowded during the day.
The Court adjourned at five o'clock. The exa-
mination of witnesses for the prosecution had not
then terminated.--Dublin Morning Register.

APOCRYPHA COMBATANTs.—We have
assn the first of a series of . twelve caricatures on this sub-
ject. The first number appeared only yesterday morning,
end before night we understand four hundred 'copies were
dlaPos‘ql °L—Edenburgh Observer.
On. Friday last, the whole effects of a poor
woman, (Mrs. WlLsox) who resided iri North Woodside
Road, were'sold at the instance of a creditor, with whom
she had been somewhat in arrears, for the small sum of
41. Not a sing
le article of her humble furniture WAS left,
and the pour woman; with heestamily, consisting of six
children, were turned out upon the world, without a house
or covering of any kind to
give them shelter. The eldest
of her family; a daughter, named JANE, about 29 years of
age, and who is rather weak in her intellect and easily
alarmed, was so terrified at the circumstance that she fled,
and has not since been heard of.— Glasgow Chr‘miele.

BARBAROUS OUTRAGE.—We regret to
have to state, that on Saturday night last, some armed vil-
lains broke into the house of Mr. Cox, the resident Agent i
of the Arigna Mining Company, n the county of Leitrim,
and barbarously murdered him. From our information
we are led to believe that neither politics or religion had
any concern in this diabolical act, but we forbear further
comment for the present, awaiting the event of the investi-
gation which must necessarily take place.—Dublin Morn-
iny Post.
