LAW INTELLIGENCE.
HOUSE OF LORDS, June 4. c,
Thy HoufiCsatii-diti7tolear appeals. The Peers present,
were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham,
And Lord Campbell.
THE IRONMONGERS' COMPANY V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
The arguments in this appeal from the decision of Lord
Cottenham, when Lord Chancellor, occupied their Lordships
the whole day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Acne 4.

(Before Sir J. K. L. Banat.)
His Honour sat to-day as Chief Judge in Bankruptcy.
GREEN V. GREEN.

This case was set down as a motion by order. It referred
to the marriage settlement of 1,2001. upon trust, to Thomas
Green, for lif mad for his wife afterwards, with remainder to
children. Tbcmas Burton and Thomas Green, who were.
partners, had become insolvent; certain friends of the family
had since come forward, offering to pay 3501. upon the trus-
tees releasing the 1,2001. for the benefit of The cestuique trusts,
and the object of the present suit was to obtain a reference
to the Master, to ascertain whether it would be for their
benefit that this arrangement should be glade.
His Honour ri.ferred it to the Master, to inquire whether
it would be for the benefit of the parties interested under the
settlement that the proposed arrangement should be made.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, .June 4.
THE DERBY.-WOOD v. WEATHERBY.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES said parties were extremely
anxious to have the rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant Shoe
disposed of.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOUnD, who appeared for Cot Peel,
who was plaintiff in a similar action in the Exchequer,
Said he could not agree to the rule being disposed of is
the absence of his Learned Brother.

Mr. Sergeant ThtLEs—The present motion is not
brought on without notice.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said he would act with can-
dour. The facts were, there were two actions pend--
ing relative to the late Derby race ; one had been
brought against the above-named dofendant by Colonel
Peel to give up the stakes, which be claimed as the,
owner of Orlando-; Mr. irood, the owner of Run-
ning Rein, also claimed the, stakes, and had brought
his action in this Court. An interpleader rule had
been obtained, and Colonel Peel was very anxious
that the cause. should be first tried in the Court of
Exchequer ; for if the issue should be first directed
from the. Common Pleas, it was quite. evident, from
the state of the trial paper, that it could not be tried in
Middlesex, nor was, it likely in London: As the case'
was one of the greatest interest, it, was necessary that it
should be tried as early as possible, and from the state
of the business of the Cotirt of Exchequer, there would
be no difficulty.' '
After some few remarks, •
The COURT said that as Sergeant Shee was not pre-
' sent, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd objected, the issues'
must remain as they were. Should Mr. Sergeant Shee
come down, and the different parties arrange the point,
the Court would therrdpeide.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COqRT, June 4.
IN •RE WM. ANDREWS.

The COURT gave judgment in this matter. 'The insolvent
had formerly been a solicitor'cariying on husiness at Man-
chester, in partnership with•another pefson' named Hulme.
The insolvent.haYing been arrested, applied to the COurt for
the relief •of insolvent debtors at Lancaiter; when he was
opposed by Mr. Hulme, on the grounds 'of having contracted•
debts by means of a- breach of trust, when he was remanded
for twelvemonths. He then moved fora'rule nisi from this
Court, in order that- ho' might' be reheard. I:he grounds
upon which be moved for a rehearing were—first, that there
was no'-debt; secondly, that there had been no-breach of
trust ;.and, lastly, thatif there had been, it, had been waived
by-a subsequent iirratigenatint Of the•matter. '
Mr. Commi-esioner:Pbmook said, that after the Court had
carefully considered .all the bearings of the case, they felt
bound to discharge•the rule upon.alNhe grounds. •
Mr. COOKE inquired whether the-Court hitd the power of
giving costs? •
The CHIEF COIIMISSIONRR said he Fet,retted to say they
had; not.
