LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Nov. 17.
AINNELL V. THE BISHOP or LINCOLN AND OTHERS.

This was a question for the opinion of the Court, on a writ of
error from the Court of Common Pleas, on an action of quare
imptdit, brought in that Court by the widow and administra-
trix of the late Rev. Thomas Rennet!, Prebendary of South
Grantham, against the Bishop of Lincoln, the Rev. Henry Mire:.
house, the present Prebendary of South Grantham, and his brother,
to whom he had presented the rectory of Welby, in the county of
Lincoln. The advowson of the rectory of Welby is appendant to
the prebendary of South Grantham of the cathedral church Of
Salisbury. The incumbent died during the life of the late prebend,
Mr. Rennell, who also died before he had presented thereto ;
baying died intestate, Mrs. Rennell, as administratrix, presented a
Mr. Otler to the rectory of Welby.. The present prebendary, Mr.
Mirehouse, also presented at the same time, his brother, the Rev.
William Mirehouse. The Bishop refused to 'Mulct the Clerk
presented by the plaintiff, and the only question for the opinion of
the Court was, which party Was entitled to the presentation.
Mr. PATTISON was this day heard at considerable length in
support of the writ of error, contending, that the right of presen-
tation, on the death of the incumbent of the rectory of Welby,
immediately vested in the late Mr. Rennell, as a chattel interest,
and therefore his administratrix, to whom the right had des-
cended, was entitled to the presentation, and not his successor.
The Learned Counsel cited various authorities to support his
view of the case, and submitted that the present case was analo-
gous to a right of presentation by a layman, which, in the event
of his death before presentation, vested in his executor, and not in
the heir-at-law. _ .

Mr. Sergeant D'Oyx.xy was shout to address the Court in
support of the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, when
The Loan Clear Annum intimated that they would hear him
on Tuesday next.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 17.
(SITTINGS IN BANCO.)—SIWITH V. lIARDT.
Mr. Sergeant Wxx.ins moved for a rule to set aside the inter-
locutory judgment of nonsuit in this CAIVe, on the ground that pro-
ceetlinge had been taken by an attorney who was not an attorney
in the Court of Common Pleas, but in the King's Bench only,
and lied carried on proceedings in this Court under the name of an-
other attorney, who had not given a written consent that his name
might be used, as it was necessary he should do by 2 tieo. 11.

cap. 23► Pee. JO.
The Cotnim were of opinion, that the ease would require fur•
ther coraideretiou. and granted the rule.

MYDICV. 11,014BWILL.

Mr. Sergeant `Yuma had on a former occasion obtained a rule
to show cause why the lodgment Which bad been given for the
plaintiff in this cam should not be set aside, on the ground that
the plaintiff's attorney had been guilty
of irregularity in obtain-
ing it..—Rule granted. The rest of the Court concurred.
At the time the Court was about to adjourn, the Loan COMP
Itimez observed that be had received a letter complaining of the
conduct of an attorney. His Lordship begged to say that this
was irregular ; it was of no use for persons to address themselves
to the Judges, they cools( bear no complaints or statements of
misconduct of persons behind their backs. If any parties had
reason to complain, it must be by affidavit,
which should be read
in open Court, giving the parties complained of an opportunity
of defending themselves.
