LAW INTELT,IMNCE.-(Tilig DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.—APPEALS.
TEstNorr V. THE EARL OF EGMONT.
JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR having detailed the circum-
stances of this case, (respecting which see the Sox of
Saturday), said, the question for the consideration
of their Lordships was, whether Mr. Vernon, as exe-
cutor to the will of the late Lord Egmont was en-
titled to retain in his hands certain personal property
bequeathed to the respondent, until the latter
should give him an indemnity against such claims as
the lessees under the testator might make against him
in consequence of their leases being made void ? His
Lordship did not mean to say that in all cases, executors
might keep in their hands personal property, until indem-
nified against all claims on such property by the legatees ;
but considering the special circumstances of the present
case, he was of opinion that the appellant should not be
compelled to part with the personal property until he should
be indemnified by the respondent. His Lordship then
proposed that the decree of the Master of the Rolls should
be reversed, and that the case be referred back to the
Master, to settle what indemnity was sufficient for the
appellant.—The decree was accordingly reversed.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
MESSRS. CHAMBERS BANKRUPTCY.

EX-PARTE CHAMBERS IN THE MATTER OF CHAMBERS.

Mr. &SODEN, for the Committee, under the deed of
management, resumed his address this morning, and relied on
the misconduct of Messrs. Chambers, as furnishing sufficient
ground for the revocation of :the letter of license ; he
(Mr. C. gen.) had opposed the sale at Enfield, because
the Committee had refused to grant his son an absolute
release, and swore by " the living God," he would throw
the auctioneer into the horsepond if he persisted in the sale ;
his conduct was so objectionable that at a general meeting
of the creditors, held on the 4th of June, 1825, it was
resolved that the letter of licence ought to be revoked, the
meeting at the same time left it to the discretion of the
Committee to determine when the revocation ought to take
place. The Learned Gentleman contended that the affi-
davits of his clients clearly showed that the request of Mr.
Chambers induced them to delay the revocation, after
his condue!, had rendered such a step necessary.—
They were anxious also that the Lease of the Opera
house should be executed before the bankruptcy of the
Messrs. Chambers should make the disposal of that estab-
lishment a matter of difficulty. If these gentlemen had be-
come bankrupts, it would be almost impossible to find any
person who would come forward and connect himself
with the concern. Delay must, at all events, arise,
and this in an establishment of that nature where it was
necessary to make the engagement in time would be fatal,
and the probability was that the licence would be trans-
ferred to some other theatre. The Learned Gentleman
argued at great length that the Committee were justified
in their conduct, and that the petition ought to be dis-
missed against them.
Mr. COLLINSON followed on the lams side.
courusrac: OF A WARD.
- _ _

Shortly after Mr. SuGrum had concluded his address,
the gravity of the Court was disturbed by the contumacious
cenduct of one of its Wards, a fine boy, about six years
old. The little fellow showed a great and a wise re-
luctance to be introduced to the labyrinth of a Chan-
cery Suit; and when he was, with difficulty, forced
sufficiently near the judgment-seat to give the Vice-Chan-
cellor a view of him, he persisted in keeping on his seat,
notwithstanding the efforts of the officer to induce him to
remove it. The officer at length had recourse to gentle
violence ; upon which the little fellow resisted most man-
fully, and proceeded to " play Hell and Tommy."
The VICE-CHANCELLOR seemed to enjoy the scene
highly.

THE BANK OF IRELAND.

(From the Dublin Patriot.)
The unfortunate persons accused of the late embezzle-
ment, were brought up before the Magistrates of the Head
POliee-office yesterday. Several additional witnesses were
examined, and after a most anxious investigation, the bench
committed William Davis and Peter .Lilanpin, for trial,
at the next commission, on informations, for having feloni-
ously embeceled money entrusted to them, by the Governor
and Company of the Bank of Ireland.
This offence amounts to a capital felony, and involves
the lives of the individuals, should the counsel for the Bank
think proper to frame their indictments to meet the capi-
tal offence. We believe that the Act, or rather rider upon
the Bank Act, making it capital to embezzle any note of
the Bank of Ireland, was passed shortly after the great
fraud committed by Malone, on the present aggregate cor-
poration of the Bank of Ireland.
The trial of this important case must be in the recollec-
tion of our readers, and the point made by our present So-
licitor-General, tending to show, from evidence, that an
issue beyond the charter had taken place, and the embezzle-
ment of money or notes might have been out of the over
issue, saved Malone's life, and occasioned as we believe the
present penal enactment. His life was consequently saved.
Previously to, and since that period, the bank has acted
with singular mildness towards the persons accused of the
offences against their establishment, always preferring the
minor charge to the capital.
In the present case, however, it appears that some features
of a most striking nature were disclosed, and the Magis-
trates were obliged, in pursuance of their duty, to coin-
mit them on the capital charge.
The third party, George Gourlay, stands committed for
a fraud and embezzlement in the house of Messrs. Gibbous
and Williams.

The persons who have made their escape are named
Scott and Harvey. The latter signed his name at the
hank on Monday last, and was seen in the city some hours
afterwards. The former w•as the person to whom we
alluded in .‘ r last as hating hien supposed to have com-
mitted suicide.

It is generally

ent

panies, which induced a draft upon their purses that could

som e of thoseanl ,

not be legitimately answered, and that in the hope of ulti-
mate success, they involved themselves in a complexity of
fraud which overwhelmed thern. The trial will take place
at the next Commission.
(From the Dublin Evening Post.)
The manner in which the alleged fraud was contrived
employedt obe e managed,
asone :—Arsuubnatearnsceofasthfeolelos‘tvabla person,
wor in n
the
tered into a league with a person holding a subordinate
situation in the cash department, to return the Bills actu-
ally collected by the former as having been handed over to
the Notaries for protest, as if the same had not been paid.
To carry this scheme into execution, it was necessary that
one of the clerks of Messrs. Gibbons and Williams, the
Notaries, should be in collusion with the other parties, and
whose receipt was given for the Bills returned, as if un-
paid. By this plan it was contrived to defraud the Bank,
of a sum approaching to 2000/. The Securities are left to
answer the defalcation.

capacity he has considered the distinctive claims'of soldiers
and citisens to such employments. Much of the present
distress which the working classes of society eh* laiiouriug
under, may be traced to the half-price system of working,
not very common in this eountry till after .ae war, but
which is pursued by soldiers, who have their own depend-
ence, and to the detriment of their utility in their proper
sphere.— Times.

The following notice was issued on Saturday-

" Bonk of England, April 5.
" The Court of Directors of the Governor and Company
of the Bank of England give notice, that they have made
an agreement with the Right Honourable the Lords Com-

several Acts of Parliament for that purpose, now in force
for one year, to end the 3d of April, 18ES.

Government to supply the market with additional

FALSE NOSE.--_A French surgeon has lately
restored to an individual his nose, which had been frost-
bitten during the campaign in Russia. The usual mode
was adopted of turning down a portion of the skin of the
forehead for the purpose. The result is very satisfactory.
The deformity is scarcely observable, and the scar in the
forehead, concealed also in some degree by the hair, has al-
most entirely disappeared. What is very extraordinary, is
that the person on whom this operation has been perfoi med,

constitute the outline of this paragon in dress. He mea-
sures more about the waist than over the shoulders, talks
little, eats voraciously, and travels alone. Our wags think
