BEVERIDGE V. NAY.

It will be recollected that some time ago an ap-
plication was made to the Court, in this case, for an
injunction to restrain the defendant from carrying
on the business of a surgeon in Newgate-street. The
defendant was nephew of the plaintiff, with whom
he had served his apprenticeship. An agreement
was afterwards entered into between them for a part-
nership,
to for two years, one of the provisos
of which was, that the defendant should not carry
on business within five miles of Newgate-street, un-
der the penalty of 50001. At the dissolution of
the partnership, the defendant took a house a few
doors only from his uncle's, where he carried on the
business under the firm of Beveridge and Hay. An
injunction was granted to restrain him from doing
so, and this morning
Mr. HORNE applied for its dissolution upon the
coming in of the defendant's • answer—contending
that the agreement could not be considered as-bind-
ing on the defendant after the_ artnership. •
The Learned Counsel had not concluded in opeM"
ing when we left ; and , the case appears likely to
occupy the whole day.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S 'COURT.'
BUSINESS OF THE COURT.
Mr. SUDDEN said lie wished to draw his Honour's
attention to the order he, made a few. days since,
from the terms of which it would be naturally in-
ferred that Counsel were remiss in attending to
their duties. Now the fault aid not rest with
Counsel, but with the constitution of the Court.
He had himself given up all Irish and Scotch Ap-
peals in the House of Lords, but it could not be ex-
pected that he was to decline taking a brief in other
cases in that House, and if he did not, the diffi-
culties of which his Honour complained must occur.
VICE-CHANCELLOR—I am always most willing,
Mr. Sugden, to consult the comfort and convenience
of Counsel; but the plan we have been acting upon
was very injurious in its consequences, not only in
wasting the time of the Court, but also in creating
much additional expense to suitors. There is alwayn
two Counsel at least engaged in every motion,,or
petition, it will therefore be very easy for the junior
to attend, if it is inconvenient foi the senior so to
do. I feel inclined to try the effect of the order.
Mr. SUGDEN—There is another plan I will suggests
which I think would be preferable, viz., for the Court
to go regularly through the list, and take any case that
might be ready, and then, instead of striking the
cases out when Counsel were not in attendance, to
begin the list a second, or, if necessary, a third time•
1 do not mention this, (said Mr. S.) on my own'ae-
count, for I should be very willing to give up bank-
rupt petitions altogether ; but it strikes me, by
such an arrangement, the Court would have always
sufficient business to goon with, and it was extremely,
painful to clients to have their cases struck .out of
the paper,—they naturally thought their Counsel fled '
glected their duty.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Monday last was suf-
ficient to prove that something should be done; on
that day several junior Counsel, who were present
when their cases were called on, refused to proceed
in the absence of their leader, it was therefore ne-
cessary to have a rule that would expedite the-busi-
ness. I have made a calculation that twenty mi-
nutes are lost every day by Counsel not being in.

NOVEL APPLICATION.
A. gentleman applied in propria persona to the
Vice-Chancellor for his cheque on the Accountant"
General,-to pay him (the applfeant) a sum of monei,
to which he stated he was entitled from an 01°
Chancery suit.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR told the gentleman
that he had mistaken his power, he had a°
authority to draw cheques on the itccountasfr
General, if there was any money to which he
(the applicant) was entitled, he must proceed
in the regular way. The gentleman said be
had so much to do with solicitors, that he rished,
if possible, to have done without them.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR again told him h-e must
proceed in the regular way.

A very great improvement has taken place in
the mode of nocturnal watching, in the western district
of the parish of St. Pancras. The persons employed are
all active men, and better paid than in other parishes, and
those who are vigilant, are preferred and rewarded for ,
good conduct. The watchmen have seventeen shillings
a-week each, the patrols twenty shillings, and the serjeants
of the watch twenty-five shillings. Each party is a watch
on the other, and those who neglect to complain 80°4
those who misconduct themselves, are dismissed; but is
case a complaint is made by a watchman against a
patrol,
and it is proved to be well founded, the patrol is distnissed,
and the complainant is appointed to fill his place; and the
same regulation exists with respect to the patrol and ser-
jeants of the watch. The watchmen do not call the
hour, and as the parties are always on the move, house-
breakers and other thieves are the more liable to be de-
tected. This new Lain of watching, we understand, has
fully answered the expectation of those gentlemen wh°
suggested the regulations.
ANECDOTES OF EMANCIPATION.—A few
days ago a gentleman from Glasgow chanced to be from
home on a visit to a certain village in North Islands, and,
entering the place he was thus addressed by an old WO'
landman of his acquaintance :—" It's to be a crait tay 111
our place to mohrn, Mr. --....," " Aye, what is to bet.
done?" inquired the gentleman. " Och, to petition agar"'
grantin' falarther cohnscience to the Cahthelics." " }tuts
are surely mistaken," returned the gentleman, smiling'
it is concessions you must mean." " Noh !" said n°"'
NALD, sprucely, " it's cohnscience I tell ye. Did ns ~
seat an' read in prent wi' my sin e'en ?"—Again,
in the
neighbourhood of Glasgow lately, au honest Hibernian
came up to his employer, and thus addressed him with anair of triumph :—" Well, have ye heard the good news,
master ?" ‘. What news ?" " Why, that 1:1,' 14
O'CoNNELL's got into the Parliament House : an' when
he was in, the KING comes up to him, an' tak's him by
the fist, an' well, DAN,' says he, sit you there,' says
he, an' the man dare say a word to ye,' says he.
By my soul, there'll be wigs on the grass before many wee"
go, master Glasgow Free Press.
