LAW INTELLIGENCE:-(THIS DAV.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
TIME.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat precisely
at a quarter past ten o'clock. At this • time there
was not one King's Counsel in Court, and only two
or three juniors.
Mr. RUSSEL rose and stated, that his Lordship
had given Mr. Sugden leave to make a motion for
an injunction to-day at the sitting of the Court, in
a case in which, if the injunction was ,not granted,
execution would issue. He was with Mr. Sugden
in that case; but neither Mr. Sugden nor Mr.
Heald, who was to oppose the motion, were pre-
sent, he (Mr. Russel) supposed in consequence of
some misunderstanding as to when the Court would
sit; he wished to know whether his Lordship would
permit the case to be brought before him in an hour
or two afterwards, when the other Gentlemen
might be in Court.
His LORDSHIP—Look at the clock, Mr. Russel.
Mr. RussEL—Why, my Lord, I apprehend the
Bar were not aware whether your Lordship meant
to sit at ten, or a quarter-past; or at half-past, espe-
cially as the Court had not been in the habit hereto-
fore of sitting on a Monday morning before half-past

ten.
His LORDSHIP-0, then that accounts for it-
We will proceed with the appeal paper at present.
Mr. SUGDEN and Mr. HEALD both made their
appearance soon afterwards, and on the former's at-
tempt to make the motion, Mr. Heald objected to'
it, on the ground of not having had sufficient notice-
It was ordered to stand over till to-morrow.

RODNEY V. NIXON.-•-,-A WARD.
Mr. SMDEN stated, that in this case a young
lady wished to change her condition of life, but as
her ability to do so, depended on his Lordship's
jndgment upon- the documents that had been said
before him, (containing a proposed settlement on
the part of the young man's friends) he hoped he
might be excused for calling his Lordship's sato'
tion to the case.-
His LORDSHIP promised to give his immediate
consideration.

PIINDMARSH D. SOUTHCATE.
Mr. HEALD and Mr.. WRAY appeared for the ar
pellants in this case.. An account had been di-
rected, by the Court below, to be taken in the
Master's office, against a lady of the name of Ma-
rianne Abbott (afterwards Mrs. Southgate), during
her minority, which she complained of, contending
that, if any, account at all was directed to be taken,.
it ought to be against the persons to whom she had
formerly accounted. Mr. Heald's point, therefore,
wad, that the decree should be set aside, or that
leave ought to be given to make those other persons
parties to the suit, to whom the lady had accounted,
and who had not been made parties to the original
bill. It was stated that Mr. RouPEL was on the
other side, but that gentleman not appearing,
His LORDSHIP directed a messenger to
go into
the other Courts to try to find Mr. Roupel, and t°
inform him that the Court here was sitting. Mr'
Roupel was not to be found..
His LORDSHIP observed that he would give •
little indulgence this morning, because he had a few
minutes ago been informed that the Court had not
been in the habit of sitting so early on a Mondel

!

morning.
Mr. HEALD was not aware that there had been
any difference made between Monday and any other
morning.
His LORDSHIP had been told there had.
Mr. HEALD believed the fact to be, that for a
considerable time past the Lord Chancellor had not
sat till nearer half-past ten than ten on any morning'
His LORDSHIP observed that, the Lord Chancel-
lor had frequently had something to do before he
entered the Court in the mornings, but that he be-
lieved he had always been here at ten o'clock.
Mr. HEALD believed that he very seldom had ever
been later in getting to his chambers in Lincolns'
Inn, than ten o'clock, and he had never heard that
the Lord Chancellor had got down before him.
His LORDSHIP ordered another enquiry to be
made if Mr. Roupel had arrived. Perhaps that
gentleman meant to desert the cause.
The Solicitor who had employed Mr. Roupel
made the enquiry, and on his return he said Mr'
Roupel had not yet arrived ; he had had full notice
of the appeal coming on, and was expected every
minute.
His LORDSHIP.—Then I shall make the order now
prayed, for I will not suffer the business of the Court
to be interrupted, because Counsel do not choose tc'
attend

BARER V. IiANBURY.
Mr. WAKEFIELD appeared for the respondents'
who represented the interest of an infant.
•
His LORDSHIP enquired if any person appealed
for the appellants?
Mr. WAKEFIELD did not find that any one ar
pearecl at that moment, but he knew it wag
tended to argue the case, which involves a very ill"
portant question. The question arose upon the
construction of the late Mr. Baker's will, to whom
almost all the houses about Portman-square had
belonged. iii
Mr. HORNE did not know there was any paper
the Registrar's office, by which the profession at
large might kaow what business the Court meant t°
go upon. He believed that the profession were
taken by surprise, by this sweeping mode of going
through the appeals, because he knew there wer,
appeals in the paper of to-day which were intended
to be effective, but in which the parties were o°t
present.
His LORDSHIP—There arc a great many apPealj:
and I think I cannot do better than to sit to 11°-
them.
Mr. HORNE felt this, but he wished to know Wpc'
tiler the profession at large had been let known the
intention of the Court.
His LORDSHP made some inquiry of the Registrar,
in a low tone of voice, and then botanic,- directed the
appeal to he struck out of the paper. In the course of $
couple of hours afterwards, Mr. Roupel entered the
Court in breathless haste, and apologised for his lib':
sence. He had left town on Saturday evening, and voit
having having had notice that the appeal in Hilly
marsh v. Southgate was to come on this mornill'.
he had not felt it incumbent on him to have been l"
Court at its sitting.
His LORDSHIP desired to know why his client
had not given him notice.
Mr. ROUPEL said his client had not himself re
ceived notice from the Registrar's office till Satin"'
day afternoon, when he immediately wrote a note tf
Mr. Roupel conveying the notice to him, but which
note he had not received till about half an hour se
His LORDSHIP considered the excuse, under thel
circumstances, valid, and ordered the appeal to 00.
again for hearing on Saturday morning. He cove
dered it would he most desirable that a more eft
tended notice could he given to the profession, the
a repetition of such mistakes might be prevented.uo
Mr. HEALD, from the same cause, namely, "
appeals being now on the wing,"—(laughter)---Meo
been obliged to break the sabbath, (which be lie,
never been in the habit of doing, except from ti,e;
cessity) by having had to occupy all yesterdeY j
reading the papers in Smith v. Lord Rodney, s°„
which, after all, he had hardly made himself (Pat.',
master of, therefore as it stood next, he hoped ti'
Court would forgive him if he should in his state
ment omit some of the minor points.
