LAW INTELLIGENCE,-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

IN THE MATTER OF WRITE AND METCALFE, BANKaurrs.

Mr. Ross applied to have the hearing of a petition in
this matter postponed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired who was on the other
side?

Mr. ROSE said the Solicitor-General. He had applied
without notice to get this petition advanced, and appointed
to be heard on Saturday.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—YOU must make your appli-
cation when Counsel on the other side are here. _

Mr. ROSE—fly Lord, they obtained your Lordship's
order without notice to us, and we are quite regular in
coming here now.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—What, without notice to
them ?

Mr. Rose--Yes, my Lord.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—That's pleasant. (Laughter.)
Mr. Rose—W'hatever else it may be, it is according to
the practice of the Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—WeII, then, when Counsel
on both sides are present, we shall have a third discussion.
Mr. ROSE—I can't help that.
.

Mr. floaNE.—l appear for the assignees, and perfectly
agree in the propriety of the present application, because
this is a very he petition, and as Saturday will be the
last day of Term, should your Lordship take this matter on
that day, it will be quite impossible for the Court to get
through any thing else.
The Loan CHANCELLOR-Well, it will perhaps not be
very inconvenient for Mr. Rose to mention it when the
Solicitor-General is iu Court; and I think that had better
be done.

Mr. ROSE—If your Lordship pleases.
DEVYSAIES V. NOBLE.

Counsel proceeded to argue this appeal. The matter
must have been pending for at least the last 20 years, and
been before the Court numberless times, and in every
shape and form.

The following circular has been issued from the Law
Society's House, respecting the Chair:ery Bar New Ar-

TICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
THE ABSTRACTION' OF PEWS.

IPECIAL APPLICATION, AND EFFECTS OF A SMOKY COURT.

Mr. Simons complained this morning to the Court of
the want of pens. He had spoken to the officer with re-
spect to it, and all he had been able to obtain was one so-
litary pen.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR, upon mentioning the matter
to the officer, was informed that the Court had been full
of smoke during the early part of the morning, during
which all the pens had been taken away.
Mr. Simons observed, it was the duty of the Court-
keeper to keep watch, and if he had done so, the mishap
would not have happened. This was not the first time
the occurrence had taken place. It was extremely incon-
venient to Counsel.
