LAW INTELLIGENCE.-,(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR- sat on appeals to-day.

I.I.IOETT V. nocitF.R.

Mr. BEA3MES applied for-an order to. commit Mr.
Lucett upon a commission of rebellion. Mr. Lucett
brought an action against the defendant, in which
.53/. costs were incurred, but before the action came
on to be tried, it was agreed between the parties to
refer the matters 'in dispute to arbitration. In the
course of the proceedings-under-the arbitration new
disputes respecting some points arose. Application in
the end was made to the Plaintiff for payment of the
531. costs. lle.eontended that this sum was also to
have been the subject of reference, but an order was
obtained calling Alpo!) him to pay it; lie still refused,
and a commission of rebellion issued against him;
upon which the preSent application was made.
SUGDEN appeared to oppose the application
The case was ordered' to stand over till the rising of
the Court, that an answer might be, made to the
affidavit of Mr. Sugden, for the first time produced.
A question arose as to whether the Motion ought
to stand over for a few 'days 131 i. Beames objected
to this, fearing that Mr. Lucett Might not then be
fo; theeming. Mr. Lucca, itt propra
endeavoured to persuade the Court there could be no
doubt of his ap pearauce on any future day, from his
invaluable importance to the subjects of this country
as the sok restorer to health of Lunatics, demon.:
s.trated by the flourishing production of a card, With
la long description of his qualities printed upon it,
which he wished his Lordship to peruse, but such
gratification was not afforded to the practitiOner.

IN THE MATTER, OF THE BANGOR, CATHEDKAL.

This was an application to have accounts renderekl.
The accounts were audited yearly in August, and
it was agreed after some discussion, that a copy of
the last accounts should 'be rendered, as well as
those to be audited; in August next, the petitioners
then to be at liberty to apply, if necessary, to have
the accounts taken before the Master.

N THE MATTER OF THOMAS WALKER, LATE REGISTRAR.

Mr. BEAmEs statekthat Mr. Walker, the late Re-
gistrar had been attacked with paralysis which had
left him unable, in the opinion of tnedical men, ever
again to resume an active life, and therefore he ap-
plied. on the present occasion under the Act of Par-
liamet to be discharged from the office of Registrar,
and allowed the pension. He had been in the office
45 years, and the annuity or pension specified by
the Act was 1,100/. with a discretionary power in
the Chancellor to lessen it if he thought proper,
but the learned counsel did not conceive that the
Court would order his client less than 1,100/. con-
siiering his long servitude. This was the first ap-
plication of this kind under the Act.
The Lord CHANCELLOR made the order as
prayed, on condition that the fact of Mr. Wal-
ker's situation should be immediately sworn to by
the medical men.
