LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
MINT,.-2ePHAIL V. GLENNIE.

The appellant in this case had entered into a contract
with the trustees on the turnpike-road from New Pits Ego
to the town of Banff, to make and finish part of that
road. He afterwards entered into a.treaty with a person
of the name of Cooper, to underlet part of that contract
to him. Cooper afterwards became bankrupt. The respon-
dent, who had been employed by Cooper, made a claim
against his estate for wages, but finding the assets of
Cooper were not likely to be sufficient to meet his demand,
he was advised to make claim against the appellant, with
whom Cooper had contracted. This claim being rejected,
he raised an action before the Court of Sessions, arrested
all sums of money that were due to the appellant,
from the trustees of the Pitsligo roads, contending that
INl‘Phail, having entered into the original contract, was
bound to pay him his wages, in care Cooper, who had
only acted as his servant, was unable. Upon the case
coming before the Court of Sessions, they considered the
appellant liable, and decreed accordingly. From this
judgment he appealed.
The Loan CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment this
morning, observed that though the sum in dispute was
only about 401., and the case of such a nature as ought
never to have found its way into the House of Lords, yet
the matter having come before their Lordships it was their
duty t* decide it to the best of their abilities. His Lord-
ship was quite satisfied upon the evidence that such treaty
as was contended for had been entered into with Cooper,
and though the contract with respect to all his terms did
not appear to have been settled till after the road was com-
pleted, yet there was enough to satisfy his Lordship's
mind that Cooper in working on this road did nut work as
the servant of M‘Phail, but under the treaty that had been
entered into. This, however, did not appear to his Lord-
ship to decide the question. If a party represented another to
the world as his agent, as had been the case here notoriously,
if he did so, either in terms, or so conducted himself as
to lead parties to suppose that he was so, I.e rendered him-
self liable for any debts that party might contract as that
agent. Upon the whole, his Lordship was clearly of opi-
nion that the judgment of the Court below was perfectly
right, and ordered its affirmati.m. With respect to the
costs, one of the parties being a pauper, and the other by
no means in affluent cireumstancss, his Lordship would

make no order.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

NJ t7NCTION-...-WEI3STER r. SUNDERLAND IND ANOTHFR.

Mr. CoE moved for an injunction to restrain the de-
fendants from receiving the rents and profits of certain
estates. The affidavit of the plaintiff statee that the de-
fendants had been appointed executors and trustees under
a will of a gentlemen named Smith, who directed certain
rents should be paid to them, for the use of the plaintiff
and his wife during their life time, and afterwards to their
children. This had been done for several years, hut lately
both the executors had become embarrassed in their affairs.
One had been made a bankrupt, and the other bad taken
the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act.
Vicx-CHANcELLoa—Under such circumstances you
are entitled to an injunction as a matter of course.—ln-
junction granted.
Several Bankrupt Petitions were disposed of during the
morning, none of which possessed any public interest.
