LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)
COURT OF CHANCERY.
THE LATE HENRY FAUNTLEROY.

EX-PARTE STONF, IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACEY

AND CO., RANKRIJFTS,

Mr. MoNTAGt; stated, when this petition, which
respected the dealings of the late Henry Fauntleroy
with certain stock, was applied for by Mr. Horne
to be advanced for hearing, in consequence of
something he (Mr.M.).had said, the Court refused to
allow. it to come on earlier than it would in regular
course, but he had now to submit, that as it regarded,
a new trial, and as it was essential that Mr. Pollock
should be present at the arguments, who was going
out of town on- Friday, it was very desirable that the
petition should be heard in a few days.
His LORDSHIP directed it to stand for Thursday.

DOWDIE V. BAOLIE, A WARD.
Mr. WIIITMARSH presented apetition which prayed
that the Court would direct a reference to the Mes-
sier in this case, to enquire whether the proposal
of marriage that had been made to the ward, was an
eligible proposal ; and if so, further to ascertain what
the property of the parties was, and what would be
a proper settlement. The mother and two guardians
of the ward agreed to the prayer of the petition.
Reference made to the Master.

IN THE MATTER OF LORD PORTSMOUTH, A LUNATIC.

Mr. HEALD stated that this was a petition which
prayed the Court to confirm the Master's report,
which had approved of the renewal of a lease.

Mr. SKIRROW appeared for Lord Grantley, one
of the trustees, and opposed the hearing of the pe-
tition to-dav, on the ground of not having had time to
be prepared to meet it. Notice of its having been
advanced to come on to-day had only been served
on Mr. Skirrow's client yesterday. Mr. Heald, on
Thursday, when he applied to have the bearing of
the petition advanced, stated as a ground of urgency
that the opportunity of renewing the lease depended
on a single age, and that that age was 95, whereas
the fact was that the age was only forty-three.
His LORDSHIP understood it to be agreed that the
lease ought to he renewed, and he wished to know
what there was in dispute.
Mr. SKIRROW stated the dispute was respecting
the fund out of which the fine was to come. It
was proposed that the fine should be paid out of the
funds resulting into the hands of the trustees (of
whom Lord Grantley was one) from certain estates
that were settled to answer certain purposes on Lord
Portsmouth's first marriage in 1799.
His LORDSHIP felt bound, which he was sorry for,
to extend the time of hearing the petition till Mon-
day morning, in consequence of the short notice that
had been given to Lord Grantley.
The Court took the Appeal Paper.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
Nothing of interest occurred in this Court np to
the time of our going to Press.
At the rising of the Court, the adjournment day
will be fixed for the 9th of October. The Middlesex
Sittings are adjourned to the first day of the same
month, a time of adjournment earlier than, perhaps,
was ever known in this Court, in which it has been
seldom the practice to meet, after the long vacation,
until the beginning of November.' The immense
number of causes entered, and the little progress
already made in them,, renders this course absolutely
necessary.
