LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(tnI DAY')

COURT OF CHANCERY.
FRY V. WATSON.
The LORD CHANCEL LOR6,llad made inquirf
respecting the point of practice that had beep
submitted to him in this case, and found thee°
extreme diversity of opinion existed upon-
The prevailing opinion was against the decisi°
of Sir Anthony Hart. It was, however of I 0
11
I
much importance, that the Court mould sil'
make further inquiry before it proceeded to upset
that old practitioner's judgment. It will be re;
collected that the question here is, whether
was necessary, upon an interpleading bill, where
there was both a suit and an action commenced
by different parties, claiming a sum of moll
from a third person, to have an affidavit filed'
stating that a counter claim-had been made.ur"
the debtor, prior to the filing of the bill, before
an injunction could be granted ? Sir Anth°l
Hart thought it was not. Sir Lancelot -SW".
well decided that it was.

SMART V. WILCOX.
This was a motion to dissolve an injunctio":
The notice was dismissed, and it stood over OP
the Court might look into the affidavits, t°
ascertain whether or not they disclosed facils
that ought to prevent the costs following the
fate of the application. His Lordship hactcor_4e,
fully read the affidavits, and as nothing appes!Z,
in them to prevent his thinking the costsour
to be given, he had now to declare that 11°
motion stood dismissed with costs.

ADAMS V. SMITH.
The parties were to present affidivit;cdie:r•
planation this morning in this case, that was U:56.
cussed last week, but in constquenee- of the Jr
terminable length to which this course v's: .
likely to.procced, the Counsel agreed to leave the
case in the hands of the Court ; his:LorciskiP
being to call for further information, should hi
find himself in a situation to require it.

BANKRUPTCIPS.
The Court proceeded to hear bankrupt veti"
.ons.

VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
NEWTON V. REID.
This case came before the Court for. further:
directions ; after Mr. Horne had concluded by'
argument on behalf of the plaintiff;
Mr. PARKER addressed the Court fir the de"
fendant, during which Mr. Home made. sever°
observations, when—
Mr. PARKER (with much warmth) said, PI/.
are in the constant habit, Mr. Horne, of inter-
rupting every one opposed to you. I, for
will not put up with it. It is uot your provine
to decide the question 7-at, issue,, but for the
Court.
Mr. HORNE smiled.
: of
Mr. PARKER then went into the tuella -
the ease, which are not of public interest, wh.e/':'
he was again interrupted by some observatte'
from Mr. Horne, respecting a matter of account'
Mr. PARKER—That is your arithmetic, Sir'
or your client's ; but I shall be governed in iii
observations by common sense.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR ultimately Licadea
in favour of Mr. Horne's client.
Mr. HORNE—I have now to ask your 1194
nour for costs.
r.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR, addressing
Bickersteth, who was engaged on the same- 510;
with Mr. Parker, and who had just entera)' ajt
Court, said, have you any thing to say abOu
costs, Mr. Bietcersteth ?
Mr. BICKERSTETII—It is useless for 1110,1
say any thing with the view your - Honour tall'eti
of this case. The principle on which it is dead/
is nothing more nor less than making the 1
innocent party suffer for the misconduct of otner-•
I shall say nothing about costs.
After rather a noisy conversation between
Counsel engaged for different parties interested'
the Court ordered the costs to be paid by tlje
defendant.
