LA W INTELLIG ENCE.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

qUARAIEU .V. COULSON.-.1 i:DGMENT.

The LOAD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in
this case, which was argued some time since upon an
appeal motion from the decision of the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England. His Lordship, in giving judg-
ment to-day, said he did not .conceive that suffi-
cient ground had been shown to justify the Court in
restraining the defendant from proceeding with his
action at law. The memorandum was prima facie
evidence of the debt, and there was nothing in the
answer or the correspondence that ihowed the con-
sideration for the claim was illegal. It appeared that
the defendant and the testator travelled together on
the Continent. They agreed to divide their expenses,
the defendant paid more than his proportion, and the
difference constituted part of the debt, and with re-,
spect to this no objection was made. AnOther part Of
the debt consisted of money lent to the testator when
he was playing at the public tables at Baden Baden,
in Germany, and that the money was employed in
gaming. His Lordship did not see what ground had
been shown for saying that money could not be re-
covered. First, it did not appear what the games
played were, or that they would have been illegal
even in England; and until the late case of
Mackinnon v. Robinson in the Court of Ex-
chequer, it had always been supposed that securities
given at play, though void by the statute of Anne, yet
that the money might be recovered. In the case of
Mackinnon v. Robinson, it was held, and his Lordship
thought properly held, that money lent to play at il-
legal games could not be recovered ; that was decided
on the principle that money lent for the purpose of
enabling a party to do an illegal act, with the know-
ledge of the lender, was not the foundation for an ac-
tion at law. That rule did not apply to the present
case, for there was nothing to show that the gaming
tables were not lawful in the country in which they
were. The presumption was, as they were public
tables, that they were legal ; indeed it was notorious
that in several places in Germany, they were sanctioned
by the Government, who received a rent for them.
It was clear, therefore, that the money was not lent
for the purpose of playing at illegal games, and his
Lordship could see nothing that prevented the defend-
ant from recovering this part of the debt by an action
at law. The only remaining portion of the sum was
the small amount won at cards. It did not appear
that this was an illegal transaction ; there was nothing
to show that it was illegal by the laws of the
country in which the money was won ; neither would
it have•been illegal in England, because the defendant
had sworn that he had not won more than 101. at a
single sitting. As the memorandum afforded prima
facie evidence of this, and as there was nothing to
show that the consideration was illegal, his Lordship
saw no reason why the Court should interfere, and
why the defendant should not be allowed to prosecute
his action. The order of the Vice-Chancellor must
therefore be reversed, and the defendant must have
the costs of the application in the Court below.

EX PARTE EYRE V. WRIGHT, BIDDULPH, AND OTHERS.

The arguments in this case were resumed to-day,
but had not concluded when' our Evening Edition
went to press.

ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
The Court was engaged with consent petitions and
short causes in the early part of the morning.

CORT V. WILSON.

In this cause the bill had been filed for the admi-
nistration of the testator's estate, who had died some
years ago, and by his will bequeathed 1,3001. a piece
to his three natural cht lren, the plaintiffs in the re-
cord, and had directed that these legacies should be
paid in priority to all other legacies. The testa-
tor had also given other legacies to different
parties, after the payment of which the re-
sidue of his property was to go to his three chil-
dren. At the time of his death, the testator had been
in partnership with Mr. Wilson, who had been ap-
pointed the guardian of the children, and there appeared
to be some doubts as to whether all the assets of the
firm would be realised. The Master had, under the
decree of the Court, made a report that there were no
debts on the estate, and Mr. Wilson had been directed
to pay into Court, from time to time, such sums of
money as the estate might realise. A: further report
of the Master had been also made, from which it ap-
peared that there would be sufficient in the fundpaid in-
to Court to satisfy the plaintiffs' claim in respect of their
legacies, but not sufficient to leave any residue, and
therefore the amount of the legacies of 1,3001. each,
was all the interest the plaintiffs could hare in the
estate.

Mr. PEMBERTON, who appeared for the plaintiffs,
said that what was now proposed was to have all the
costs of the suit taxed, and to refer it to the Master
to inquire and report what sum should be set apart,
out of the money paid into Court, for the legacie4.:
Mr. KINDERSLEY appeared for Mr. Wilson, the
guardian. All he asked was, that, for the
future, the income of the children's legacies
should be allowed for their maintenance, ac-
cording to the Master's report. Also to refer it to
the Master to inquire whether any and what sum
should be allowed to Mr. Wilson, for the purpose of
making up for the time past, during which the sums
paid into Court on account of the legacies, were not
sufficient for their maintenance; to inquire what
arrears there were of the interest on the children's
legacies, which the fund ,had not yet been able to
supply ; and also what amount had been allowed for
the maintenance of the children.
Mr. PEMBERTON—That is the object we propose.
Order granted.
NOICES V. WHARTON. _ _ _

This part-hea;de;use, which had engaged the Court
the whole of Saturday and Monday, was resumed
to-day, and Mr. Pemberton brought his reply to a
conclusion.--Judgment deferred.
The Court rose at one o'clock.
