(Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BPUCE.)
GUY V. WAKEFIELD ♦ND DAY.—INJUNCTION.

Mr. Ann►s, at the sitting of the Court. applied exparte on
behalf of the plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the defendant
Wakefield from receiving the sum of 400/. and upwards from the
defendant Hay, and also to restrain Hay from paying that amount
to Wakefield. It appeared from the statements of the Learned
Counsel, and the affidavit in support of the application, that the
defendant Wakefield, who is well known in the sporting
world, being desirous to take an inn called the White
Hart, at Hampton Wick, applied to the plaintiff for the
loan of 300/. ; that amount was advanced by the plaintiff, and
Wakefield executed a mortgage deed to him upon the property.
A short time since the plaintiff discovered that Wakefield had sold
the whole concern to a person named Baker for 6201. ; that out of
that amount he paid his wine merchant about 200!., and deposited
the remainder in the hands of the defendant Hay, to take care of
for him. The object the►efore of the application was to restrain
Hay from paying the money to Wakefield and also to restrain
Wakefield from receiving it.
Hit HONOUR granted the injunction.
The Court then proceeded to bear bankrupt petitions and causes.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor Wvaram.)

His Honour was occupied the whole day with the further argu-
ments in the part-heard case of Cafe v. Bent.

QUEEN'S BENCH-(T.I-11S DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before the full Court.
CLARKE V. SMORRIDGE.

This was an action for ejectment, tried before Mr. Justice
Patteson at Exeter. The Learned Judge then gave judgment in
favour of the plaintiff, reserving to the defendant the power to
rule for a new trial in the higher court. The case was called on to-
day, when Mr. Crowder appeared for the defendant and Mr. Cock.
burn for the plaintiff. The circumstances of the ease were of the
most simple character.

The plaintiff had rented certain property to the defendant for
three years, the agreement entered into between the two expiring
on Lady-day, 1843. It was found necessary, however, to levy an
execution before that period. At the trial at Exeter a subsequent
agreement was entered, giving the occupant possession for another
year, and it was on this ground that the present action was brought.
The Court reserved its judgment.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The COURT, as usual, took the special paper, and only matters of
the most technical character came on for hearing.

THE PENALTIES FOR ADVERTISING FOREIGN
LOTTERIES.--In consequence of the actions lately commenced
against various newspapers to recover penalties for the pub-
lication of advertisements of foreign lotteries, the Solicitor-
General has just prepared a Bill of five clauses, and is "to
amend an Act of the seventh year of King William the
Fourth, for preventing the advertising of foreign and other
illegal lotteries, and to discontinue certain actions com-
menced under the provisions of the said Act." The preamble,
after reciting the Act referred to, and setting forth the fact of the
actions in question having been so commenced " by persons who
sue, inform, and prosecute, as well on their own behalf as on
behalf of her Majesty, to recover various penalties incurred or
alleged to have been incurred under the provisions of the said ♦ct,"
further states that it is expedient that " all further proceedings in such
actions, suits, informations, and prosecutinns should be prevented,
ke." The several clauses of the Bill then proceed to enact that all
persons who may have been sued before the passing of this Act for
penalties incurred under the statute of 7 Will. IV., may apply to
the courts, or a judge of any of the superior courts, to stay proceed.
ings, upon payment of whatever costs may have been incurred up
to the time of such application being made to the court or judge.
The Bill, however, is not to extend its operations to actions in
which julgment has been obtained, or conviction passed on or
before the day of the passing of the measure. The third clause is
a very important one, as it enacts that all penalties incurred under
the recited Act shall go wholly to her Majesty, and it is further
declared by another section of the Bill, that nu actiou for penalties
shall be commenced etcept in the name of the Attorney or Solici-
tor. General in England or Ireland, or her Majesty's Advocate for
Scotland. The last clause merely provides that the Act may be
altered la., this session.

LIB NEW 1.1, USES OF PARLIAMENT.—The Peers
insist on having their house ready for occupation in February
next, and thegreatest efforts are consequently being made. All the
walls and the ceiling are to be covered with carved woodwork
of the most elaborate character, and this is being forced
on by one hundred and fifty additional workmen much more
rapidly than is desirable. It will probably be ready for fixing
about October, and instead of remaining as it should do in the dry-
ing rooms during the winter ready for fixing in the summer, will
be taken into the new building in the bad weather, and
probably be irreparably injured. Do what they will,
moreover, the House of Lords cannot be completed
by the time named, nor is it desirable that it should
be. Surely, if their Lordships would consider that thin, building
is not simply for some immediate on temporary purpose, but is
intended to last for ages, and that the great object should be not to
do it quickly but well, they would restrain their Impatience, and
allow the architect to work out efficiently the whole design. If the
present accommodation is bad, let it be made better; re-construct
the temporary House of Lords during the ensuing
vacation, and persuade them to put up with the indignity yet a
little longer, so that their order may be worthily lodged ever after.
The architects of the middle ages produced the noble works to which
we now appeal with pride, slowly, by degrees, and as works of love;
at least let us give the nineteenth century one chance, and not by
unnecessary and child-like haste risk adding another failure to
the crowd which already disgrace it.—The Builder.

CANALS AND RAILWAYS.—At a metingheld yes-
terdey at the City of London Tavern of the London Proprietors of
the Kennel and Avon Canal, it was unanimously resolved to re-
quest the Committee of Management to take measures to ascertain
if it will be practicable and desirable to convert that canal into a
railway.

There was a large amount of business done at Liverpool
yesterday in Cotton—viz., 10,000 bales, including 4,000 Ame-
rican, on speculation. Prices were rather firmer, and the
middling and low qualities were quoted %d. per
lb. higher. The better sorts were at previous
rates. There was only a small business done
in Shares, and former prices were scarcely maintained.

The most prompt measures have been taken by the leading
merchants of the Canada trade to forward as large a sum as
possible by the next Halifax steamer to alleviate the distress
and destitution of those inhabitants of Quebec who have been
deprived of every thing by the awful fire which has occurred,
and the details of which are set forth in the appeal already
made public for and from the inhabitants of the mother
country. A committee has been formed, at the head of which
are the principal merchants of the City, to carry out most
fully the object of the address (published in this journal),
and there cannot be a doubt that at the meeting to be held
on Friday, at which the Lord Mayor will preside, a ready de
sire will be shown to raise a sum adeqquate for the occasion.
It is satisfactory to state that the most earnest desire has
been exhibited by the merchants of all descriptions of colonial
and other trades, in aid of the funds to be collected here. A
very full meeting may, therefore, be anticipated, and we
hope to see the great room of the London Tavern crowded
to excess on the important occasion.
There have not been any colonial arrivals of interest to• day.
The letters by the Overland Mail have not been delivered
up to the present hour. As respects commercial affairs, we
are led to believe that many orders for goods may now be
expected.
