LAW INTELLIGENCE.7-CTHIS DAY•)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
LUNATIC,
IN THE MATTER. OF THE HON. MR. JARVIS. A
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared upon a petitions
praying for an order to confirm the Master's report, .r
pointing Lord Barrington and Sir Robert Price, 1311114
guardians of the lunatic's children, with the usual COw'
quent directions. •
Mr. HORNE took a preliminary objection to the horing,;
of the petition, on the ground that his client had a 14%7;
lion is the matter, which was intended to be heard at
time at which the present was to be discussed—a petit°
in substance against the prayer.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL submitted that the petitin°
ought not to stand over, iu consequence of its great 10-
portance, the children having been left without any one t°
watch over them in any way.
Mr. HORNE said the petition was irregularly brough!
on. This was not the day for the hearing of matters in

lunacy.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed that notice that the
petition would Le heard to-day had been served on the
other side a week age.
The LORD CHANCELLOR considered that Mr. Hornet
client, if he had known of any circumstance to preven
the matter being heard to-day, ought to have applied to tbif
Court some time ago to have had the hearing delayed.
Mr. Horne put the application for delay on personal acc°l;
modation to himself, then that would be for the Lesto
Counsel's consideration on the other side.
01
Mr.HoaNE pat the application on higher ground. He - 1101
a right he believed to request that the petition should It
be heard to-day. The petition of his client was to WI
come on some time ago ; it stood over till the petition 13°,
attempted to be forced ou was ready for hearing ; they u'eu`:
then put down to be hard on the next petition day.;
o,
other side having prepared themselves earlier than
at
time they expected they would be able to have done, °roil
plied to have their petition heard to-day, and give not'
that that application had been made.
The LOAD CHANCELLOR said, the notice had b'4ll„
served seven days ago; it was competent for the Court
appoint any time to hear such a petition ; the matter igyilr
regularly before the Court, and he should conseguePt
now bear it.
After the SOLICITOR-GENERAL had opened the prayer,
and stated the facts shortly,
The Coo RT at one:: confirmed the appointraeAta
I°it;
serving, that if there had been any irregularity about ~
set vice of the notice, another application would have to
made to annul the present order.

YX..YAILTE GOULDING, IN TILE MATTER O' o'lllo.
Mr. BICKERSTETH appeared on the one side, and a Ye
p(
dental' behind the Bar on the other, to argue a gnus co
great mercantile importance in this matter; whiGbi,
the result, his Lordship promised to consider vivito,
before he gave his judgment. The partner of * 6r11:
owed a private debt; the creditor knew it to be
separate debt ; be drew for the amount a bill of esol'
change upon the firm; and left it at their usual placgo,
business, at eight o'clock, A.M., for acceptance, 03
ceived it back on the evening of the same day at fele,
accepted by the firm. The question then was, o'bect
the firm could be held to be liable for the payment°„,;:os
unless it was shown that they were aware at the 211°'-upf
that they were accepting it, with the view of 03i%,,,
them elves liable, though the debt to their knowledge'.
a separate debt?
