TAYLOR V. CLEMSON.

The further arguments in this part-heard writ of error
were proceeded with, and occupied their Lordships the whole
morning.

CHANCERY-(THIS DAY).

The LORD CHANCELLOR took lunatic petitions and ap-
peals to-day.

IN THE CASE OF DYCE SOMBRE, A LUNATIC.

This case came before the Court upon the petition of Mr.
Dyce Sombre, late M.P. for Sudbury, praying the super-
seding of the commission that had been issued against him.
Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. 'Wakefield were specially re-
tained on behalf of Mr. Ds ce Sombre.
Mr. Bethel' and Mr. Calvert appeared for the committee
of the person, Mrs. Dyce Sombre, and Mr. Tinney for the com-
mittee of the estate. _ _ _

Sir T. Wilde was about to •pen the petition, when
Mr. BETHELL, on behalf of the committee of the person,
took a preliminary objection to its being heard, on the ground
that Mr. Dyce Sombre was in Paris, and could not be exa-
mined by the Chancellor as to his state of mind. The Learned
Counsel submitted that no case had ever occurred in which
the Court had superseded the Commission without seeing the
object of it.
',lr. CALVERT followed on the same side.
Sir T. WILDE and Mr. WAKEFIELD contended that it was
not a necessary ingredient in superseding a Commission that
the Chancellor should see the object of it.
After some discussion, in which the Lord Chancellor re-
peatedly stated his strong opinion that he ought to see Mr.
Dyce Sombre before he could venture to supersede the Com-
mission, and it being intimated by Sir Thos. Wilde that Mr.
Dyce Sombre had an impression that if he came to this coun-
try he would be deprived of his liberty,
Mr. BETIIELL, on the part of the committee of the person,
gave an undertaking that if Mr. Dyce Sombre came to this
country, nothing should be done to interfere with his liberty
exeept under the order and sanction of the Lord Chancellor.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought, if what had How been
done was communicated properly to Mr. Dyce Sombre, he
would not hesitate to come to this country. If he did so, he
might feel assured that he (the Lord Chancellor) would do
nothing to interfere with his liberty, unless he committed
acts of violence, and from what he (the Lord Chancellor) had
heard of the course of conduct pursued by Mr. Dyce Sombre
abroad, he believed that he would commit no such acts. The
only object he (the Lord Chancellor) could have in view was
the interest of Mr. Dyce Sombre, and that alone.
The petition was then ordered. to stand over.

TULLOCH v. HARTLEY.

The Court then proceeded with the further arguments in
this appeal, which occupied the Court the remainder of the
morning.

whole morning with unopposed petitions, short causes, and
petitions, none of which possessed any points of interest.

His Honour was engaged during the morning in disposing
of cause petitions, none of which involved any feature of pub-
lic interest.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. IVIGRA3I.)
'HAVES V. HUIVES.
This case came before the Court on further directions and
on petition. His Honour pronounced judgment only on one
point in the case; then proceeded with the part-heard case

directions and costs.

BAIL COURT,-,(THIS DAY).

THE
HILLUaEpEpNI i *lt
D TIIE CORPORATION OF LONDON.
Mr.o the Court for a rule to show cause why
a mandamus should not issue, calling upon the Lord Mayor
and Aldermen of the City of London, to admit Mr. W.
Ashurst, an attorney of this Court, an attorney of the Lord
Mayor's Court. The application was made under the statute
6 and 7 Victoria, which enacts, that an attorney of a higher
court may be admitted an attorney of an inferior court. Mr.
Ashurst had made his application according to the form pre-
scribed, and had also produced the documents required by

ject that he advised an application to this Court for a man-
damus.—Rule granted.
