LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
WiRRIAGE OF A WARD.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied a short time this
morning in his private room with a case of the ma►riage
of one of his Lordship's wards. Neither of the parties
move in a very high walk of life, but we understand the
young lady is possessed of property in the 3 per cents. to
the amount of 3,0001., together with 5001. in cash.
IN THY. MATTER OF LORI) CARR'S/ oar), A LUNATIC.
Mr. PHILLIMORE applied on behalf of the Committee
for a reference to the Master, fur the purpose of ascertain-
ing whether it would be for the benefit of the lunatic,
that a portion of his funds should he applied to the purchasing
of such parts of the library as by the will of the late Lord
had been directed to be sold. The former Lord Carrisford,
in the hope that the present Lord might recover from the
calamity under which he laboured, made certain provisions
in his will, and the committee was under the apprehension
that should that recovery take place his Lordship might
feel exceedingly hurt to find any part of the library dis-
posed of.
His LORDSHIP directed the reference.
DUNN V. DUNN.
The arguments on this part-heatd case were then re-
owned, which appear likely to occupy several days yet.

TICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
INJUNCTION,---STANFIELD b. FOWLE.
Mx. SUGOEN said he was instructed to apply to his
Honour, in this case, for an injunction and a receiver. The
plaintiff and defendant were in partnership together near
Brighton, and the affidavit upon which he applied to the
Court stated that some time since the defendant absented
himself altogether from the business, and went abroad, but
that he returned in February last, and shortly afterwards
went to the counting-house and removed the partnership-
books,which be took to his lodgings, and refused to give up ;
under these circumstances therefore the plaintiff was appre-
hensive that he would collect the debts due to the partner-
ship, and leave him to pay off the demands against the
firm, unless restrained by the order of the Court.
Mr. MARTIN opposed the application, on the ground that
' the defendant had not had sufficient time to make an affi-
davit explaining the circumstances. He certainly had re-
moved the books to his private lodgings, but the plaintiff
might there have access to them.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said he would make an
order for the injunction, and the parties might apply
to the Ceurt on this day week respecting the appointment
of a Receiver, in the meantime the defendants could make
an affidavit explaining his conduct.

TREEOUT V. HOLDSWORTH AND OTHERS.
The defendants in this case are the assignees of a bank-
rupt named Lacey, who rented of the plaintiff the Totten-
ham silk-mills, together with its steam-engine and ma-
chinery, which was now offered for sale ; the present appli-
cation was for an injunction to restrain them from so doing.
—lnjunction granted.
PAUL V. RICH, BART.
This was a motion respecting what party was liable to
costs, incurred in a commission of bankruptcy that had
been issued against Sir Charles Rich, Bart. but which was
subsequently superseded.
The VICE-CmaNcaLtoa, after hearing Mr. Horne,
postponed giving his decision until he had heard Mr. Sug-
den, who was engaged before the Lord Chancellor.

WAITE V. TEMPLAR.
The Court then proceeded with this part-heard case,
which came before it on exceptions to the trustees' report.

and the trade was brisk ; the prices of both Fruit and Ve-
getables were about the same as those cf this day se'nnight.
The market gardeners wish for mild weather for the pur-
pose of bringing vegetation forward, it being, they assert,
much more backward than at this time last year.

LENT ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

SHERIFF'S COURT, CHELMSFORD, MARcli 1

a

DYER V. COVERDALE.
A highly respectable Jury was this morning empan.
nelleil in the Grand Jury-room, in the County Hall, before
Mr. Jehb, the Deputy Sheriff, to assess damages in a case
of breach of promise of marriage, the defendant having
suffered judgment to go by default.
The case excited very considerable interest. The plain-
tiff was Miss Charlotte Dyer, and the defendant Mr. John
Philip Coverdale.
Mr. GURNEY stated the case. The lady Was the
daughter of a gentleman living on his property at East
Ham, near Barking. She had five sisters and two bro-
thers, all of whom had regarded their father's parental
care by a course of the most exemplary conduct. The
defendant was a surgeon and apothecary, residing at Bark-
ing, and was the son of a highly respectable gentleman,
who was steward to Lord Petre. He was now in his 30th
year ; the lady was in her 24th, two years having elapsed
since the acquaintance was commenced. The defendant
had been from February, 1827, received into the family as
the intended husband of the complainant. As such he
was treated as one of the family. The young lady waa
deeply in love with him, and had no reason to doubt till
lately but that his affection equalled her own. Things
went on, the marriage dress was purchased, the day fixed,
and the company invited. As, however, the day approach-
ed, the defendant requested a postponement, on the ground
of his not having been enable to comple a treaty he bad
entered into for the taking of a house. The Jury would
find that at this time he had fixed his plan of breaking off
his engagements, and that he was only looking for a plau-
sible excuse for so doing.—This was at last found by quar-
relling with the lady's father, andlfrom that time he bad
ceased to visit the family. The consequence to the lady
was, that she had been most deeply affected both in spirits
and health.
The principal evidence adduced was that of the father
of the plaintiff, who proved the facts of the defendant's in-
tercourse with the family, the making of the match, and
its breaking off.
The Jury, after a short consideration, returned a vet-
diet—Damages, 4001.
