before eleven o'clock.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Mr. JAMES was instructed to 17equest his Lord-
ship's early judgment in this case, as it was highly

His LORDSHIP would consider the matter imme-
diately.

MORRIS V. DA VIS.
His LORDSHIP, upon the application of Mr.
Spence, directed- this case, which is a motion for a

ship had had the Learned Judge's notes sortie time.

voir.rc,e. rAaaoTT.
Upon Mr., 'ritEstovs mentioning this case to the
Court,
His LORDSHIP thought the proper course to be
adopted would be, as the parties did not appear now
to press for the committal, that the execution of the
order should be suspended, and the parties he at
liberty to present a petition to the Court for a refe-
rence to the Master as to a settlement. Thus the
matter rests for the present.

EX-PARTE FOULKES.

Mr. ROSE said, his Lordship in this case directed
that the costs of a motion which had been made
some time since should stand -over till the petition
was disposed of, and it was his duty now, the Court
having dismissed the petition yesterday, to ask for
costs of that motion.

iii 9 LORDSHIP thought Mr. Rose's client was
not entitled to the costs as against the solicitor, but
that they must be taken out of the estate.
The Court then proceeded with several unim-
portant motions.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
FOXCROFT V. WOOD AND OTHERS.
This was an application for an injunction to re-
strain the defendants, the assignees of Fennel, a
bankrupt, from selling and disposing of, or other-
wise interfering in, the business or stock of a certain
nil 'of vitriol manufactory, situate near Birmingham.
The affidavit in support of the application stated,
that some time since Messrs. R. anti S. Fennel, of
St, Mary A.fe, purchased from a Mr. Loffer his 1n-
.., tercst in the Islington and Summer-lane Oil of Vi-
. triol Laboratory, near 'Birmingham, which bad been
previously managed by the...plaintiff, at a -salary
-of itsoui 140/. a year. The Messrs. Fenuel
timi-ed the plaintiff in their employment at the
same salary, but instructed him to carry on the
business in his, own name ; he having a per_
feet relianCe on the solvency of these gentlemen, ac-
cepted bills on account of the concern, and made
himself otherwise liable to a large amount. The
affidavits stated that several of these bills, although
in the first instance given to persons who had full
knowledge of the plaintiff's connexion with the
Means. ‘Fennel, had subset ently passed into
the bands of bona fide holders without notice, who
had therefore a legal claim on the plaintiff 'for the
amount. In the course of the last year, Mr. B. Fen-
nel died, and the other partner Mr. Samuel Fennel,
having shortly after become a bankrupt, his assignees
under the commission,seized the establishment at Bir-
- tnitighainovithout taking any steps to indemnify the
plaintiff for the liabilitieshe had incurred iu'respectof it.
• Utider these circumstances, the presenthill way filed,
• -the object of 3 which was, that it ahould be-.daclared
that-the -plaintiff had a - lien on the establishment
and business for the amount of- these liabilities,
.which it was stated exceeded 1,4001.
Wr. BICKERSTETII,.III.support..of the application,

stated that this particular establishment- was per-
fectly solvent, and that the plaintiff had offered to
give up his lien, upon being indemnified.
Air. PEPYS opposed the motion, and cited a case
decided by Lord Eldon, in which it was laid down
that no person can claim a lien on any property, on
account of monies expended upon it, unless he have
an interest in the property. This was the case with
respect to partners in a ship, who were considered
as tenants in common, and not joint tenants.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the injunction.
It appeared to him that an actual possession of the
concern had been given by the Fennels to the
plaintiff, and it appeared they could not have taken it
away from him, without having first indemnified hiM
against liabilities. His Honour did not think that
• the assignees could claim to be placed in a better
situation than the bankrupt, and therefore granted
the injunction.

(slrraics IX EANCo,)
Their Lordships were engaged, this morning, in
listening to arguments on points of law, arising out
of motions of no public interest.

PREROGATIVE COURT.
SIA ItARFORD JONES V. KING.
Dr. JENNER, on behalf of Sir Harford, opposed
,st great length a codicil to the will of Mrs. Bridges,
bequeathing a. sum of 10,0001. to Miss king; but
the case was not otherwise of any general interest.

that it would injure his successor if he were to forego a
pension.

THE WEATHER.—Though there has
great deal of rain, there has been no frost this winter, that
did any serious injury to vegetation. Not a turnip ling
been destroyed, and those that remain in the fields, in this
vicinity, are still fresh and vigorous. The young gray has
an excellent appearance. The wheat is a good braird, and
forward, though late in sowing,—too forward, indeed, eon_
sidering that it has the chilling blasts of February to with..
stand. Within the last eight days, a great change has
taken place in the appearance of the fields ; the ground
has dried materially, and farmers are preparing
to proceed
with their ploughing for oats—Scotsman.

FEMALE SUICIDE.—On Wednesday an In-
quest was held at the Chaise and Horses, Hammersmith,
on the body of ANN HAMLIN, aged 20. The deceased
Was in the service of Mr. ShACKLE, of Hammersmith. On
Wednesday, another female servant happened to go into
the wash-Louse, and there found the deceased with the gar-
dener in a peculiar situation. They appeared greatly fur-
riedi and the servant threatened to inform her mistress of
the circumstance. The deceased raid, "If you will tell,
Yeu most." The gardener bogged her not to tell, and she
• then said she would keep it a secret. In the afternoon,
when the servants sat down to tea, the deceased could not
be found ; and, upon search being made, she was disco-
vered in a pond at the back of the house. She had often
,titers heard to say, that if she was in the family way she
would drown herself. The Jury consulted for some time,
• • When it appeared that there was, out of a Jury of fourteen,
nine for a verdict of " Temporary Insanity," and five for
" Fella de sc." The former verdict was then recorded...--
The gardener was severely censured for his disgraceful con-
duct in his master's house, and he was immediately dis-
missed from his situation.
