MOTIONS.

Sir CHAS. WETHERELL wished to know, for the
convenience of the Bar, how the Court meant to
proceed in the disposal of the business before it.
His LORDSHIP observed, that at present he could
only speak respecting the motions. He had been
informed that there were a great number before the
Court ; that some of them were several years old, and
that therefore he should go on hearing motions until
he had got through them. He considered it very
essential to know the extent of the arrear of business,
as far as related to motions. He had no doubt that
it would turn out that many of the motions would
be found to have disposed of themselves.

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

AND CO., BANKRUPTS.

Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET appeared in this matter,
and said that he had intended to have prayed the
Court to have acted upon the verdict of the Court
of King's Bench, and upon the subsequent judg-
ment of that Court upon a case reserved for its con-
sideration, by which Messrs. Stone and Gahagan,
the joint trustees with the late Henry Fauntleroy, of
stock to the amount of 17,0001. and a fraction,
which had been sold out by a forged power of at-
torney by the late Mr. Fauntleroy, were declared
entitled to prove against the estate of the bankrupts
for the amount; but that he understood he was to
be met by a petition which prayed the Court to order
a new trial.

Mr. HEALD then appeared and opened the petition
for the new trial. There were a good many Counsel,
and the case occupied the morning.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
BAKER V. LEVI.

Mr. Hoe told his Honour this morning, that
upon examining minutely the pleadings in the action
at law between the parties, he was of opinion that.
they would let in evidence of the whole of their
transactions, and allow the defendant at law to show.
that Levi had been either guilty of fraud, or had at
all events such a knowledge of Mr. Baker's state of
mind, as would disqualify him from recovering on
any of the contracts. As it was competent to Mr.
Baker's Committee, therefore, according to his pre-
sent view, to set up a full legal defence, the Learned
Gentleman did not feel himself justified: in calling
for the interference of the Court to restrain the
proceedings upon equitable -grounds. But if any
thing should appear to be omitted at the trial, which
was calculated to bring the entire question before
the Jury, the Learned Gentleman expressed his de-
termination to apply again to his Honour for such
assistance as would enable the defendant at law to
have the merits of the case thoroughly examined.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that subsequent
consideration had confirmed him in the opinion
which he yesterday expressed, namely—that suffi-
cient grounds had not been laid in the bill to call for
the interference of this Court in stopping the pro-
ceedings in the action at law. if, however, it should
turn out at the trial that the record was so defective
as not to let in the real question, he should be happy
to hear the parties again. With respect to the costs
of the present application, he thought they ought to
follow the common rule and abide the final result of
the proceedings.

EAST INDIA COMPANY V. CAMPION.

This was an application for ane;irial. The cir-
cumstances of the case have been already frequently
before the public. It will be recollected that the
trial to which the present motion had reference took
place before Lord Chief Justice Best.
Mr. sergeant TADDY, Mr. HORNE, Mr. PARKE,
and Mr. COE, were heard in support of the motion.
