VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

At the sitting of the Court Mr. TRESLOVE asked
his Honour if he would hear a motion for a special
injunction, (which the Court had given him permis-
sion to make this day) then or at five o'clock.
SOLICITOR GENERAL—I object to its being heard
at all to-day; there is quite sufficient business before
the Court in cases of bankruptcy.
VICE-CHANCELLOR—Yes, certainly; it must not
interfere with the business appointed for to-day. I
cannot hear it.
Mr. TRESLoVE—It is a motion for a special in-
junction, Sir.
VICE-CHANCELLOR---I cannot hear it.
Mr. TRESLoVE—But, your Honour, it is of great
importance to my client, and if the Court, at a-sug-
gestion of the Solicitor-General's, refuses to hear it,
it will cause particular injury.
VICE-CHANCELLOR—I cannot hear it. Registrar,
call on the next case.
Mr. TREsLOVE—Your Honour will recollect, I
had your special permission four days since to make
this motion to-day. 1 really am surprised and asto-
nished that the Court should now refuse to hear it.
The Solicitor-General's convenience ought not to
be consulted at the expence of suitors. Will
your Honour hear it to-morrow, Saturday, Monday,
Tuesday, or any other day before the Court rise;?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—It cannot be heard
on Monday; there are already fifty pressing causes
appointed for that day ; besides you are not en-
titled to any indulgence. You ask for an injunc-
tion to restrain proceedings in an action at law
commenced last February; in July you file this
bill for an injunction,. and not till within a few
days of the Court's rising, do you make your appli-
cation.
VICE-CHANCELLOR—I have decided that it ean-
not now be made, therefore let me hear no more
about it. I will hear it on Monday, if there is an
opportunity.
Mr. TRESLOvE—What am I to understand your
Honour to mean by opportunity ? If it means that
in case there should be no other business to go on

with, my client has but a poor chance of being
heard, and the application is to prevent a person,
now secreting himself; from removing property °
which he is not entitled. I must beg of the Cotlf,
to hear it.
SOLICITOR-GENERAL—II cannot interfere with
the regular business before the Court.
VICE- CHANCELLOR—I again say, that I cannot
now hear it.
Mr. TRESLOVE-But your granting permissiln
four days since has put my clients to considerab
expellee, in filing affidavits, &c.

VICE-CHANCELLOR—CaII on the next cause.
Mr. TRESLOVE (in an under tone)—l am stir'
prised—astonished.
The conversation here dropped, and the CoVri
afterwards proceeded with petitions in bankrupts/
of no general interest.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DO')

MANSION-110118g.
OBSTRUCTION IN THE THAMES FROM tilt Wogics
AT THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE.-The orders of lei
Doke of Wellington as to the speedy completion of
works are so rigidly complied with, that the contractor'i
Sir Edward Banks and Mr. Joliffe, have thought it nee,'
sary to create an enormous evil in their hurry to carry ipto
effcet the views of the Minister. Instead of disposing aE
the hundreds of tons of rubbish which they clear alf3/
from the works in their barges, by shooting it on 1011 i:
they throw it all into the Thames, and thus stop 0.14'
vissages to the wharfs for vessels of any size larger th"
cock-boats. It is in vain that they have been expostrilaW
with ; they consider themselves sanctioned by the Lonfro!;
bridge Committee in filling up the Thames, to the totP
destruction of the business of individuals on its bank'',
This is the more alarming, as it seems to be apprebendea
that the navigation above bridge will not at all be serrel

by the demolition of the old bridge.
Mr. Blencairn, an extensive wharfinger, came to tile
Justice•room to state in his own complaint the complaints
of the other wharfingers. Ile said that some of the barges
of the contractors were constantly employed in flinging
the rubbish in the neighbourhood of his wharf, and tl'e
consequence was, that in places where there were formed!
14 or 15 fret of water, there were now not so many inches'
The LORD MAYOR—When Sir Edward Banks bee':
to create this nuisance, I advised you to proceed agsir
him by information, and I would have taken care to D°°
him for every offence in the full penalty of 201., or to ill;
diet him for the nuisance. Why did you not proceed His
once ? Mr. Blencairn said he did not wish to appear '-
act harshly. His property was sustaining great, and per'
haps irreparable injury, but still he would prefer Os
mildest course. If his Lordship would write to Sra
Edward upon the subject, no doubt proper attention won,
be paid to the communication.
The LORD MAYOR said, that he had no idea of actin!;
in such ar case, otherwise than as a Magistrate. If CO
pulsory proceedings were not adopted, the nuisance yr°
not be checked, and by and by the navigation would hit:
completely destroyed. The fact was that Sir Jose%
Bankes found it much cheaper to throw the rubbish, which
he had contracted to clear away from the works, into the
ii
Thames, than to remove it in carts to places in which
could do no harm.
Another wharfinger said that some of the wharfs were
so peculiarly affected by the tides, that if rubbish We
l
thrown into the middle of the river, it would in a Bb°
time shift itself to the immediate neighbourhood of those

wharfs.
poiTinhe ds,LsohailnlingAsl:taYnodß said,
pence otnhatthethemtt
part
of the
WM one °f
torl
and no ceremony ought to be shewn them. They Os
raise up all the rubbish which they had thrown in.
Mr. Blencairne said, that at his wharf alone the (108:i
tity amounted to hundreds upon hundreds of tons. He 110
felt an unwillingness to complain in the fear that he 811°4
be supposed inclined to throw any impediment in the lc*
of the great national structure now approaching to its cep°
pletion ; but the evil was becoming most serious. Be the
directed, at the recommendation of the Lord Mayor, hire
Holler, jun , to proceed at once by information against
contractors.

vV
It is believed that the Duke of Wellington will be Pre-
sent during the enquiry, and it is whispered that his Grl
has tacitly sanctioned the conduct of the contractors, o.__Ait
the determination to remedy it as soon as the work is fioisP'"
by a most extensive clearance of obstructions.

BOW-STREET.
Esther Wingham, a chimney-sweeper's wife,
patroness of blue kid gloves and velvet tippets, apPeB7o
to answer a charge of assault on a poor girl of about "r
years of age. The child was accompanied by her sisted;
who, although nut more than IS, stated that she wo,,:h
eldest of six, who were left without father or mother- Ler
defendant had agreed to keep and find her in clothes for
services ; she had retained her a year, but had gives
~1
no clothes, and had struck her several times, in proof of
which the poor child exhibited marks on her back, anA
habiliments of the most disgusting character. The "r,
at"
fendant, a very sharp personage, in answer to this ch:
contended—first, that the girl was lazy and impudeliii;
secondly, that she had given her good clothes, which!
would not wear ; and thirdly, that she had not starle..
either her or any of her boys, in proof of which she Ob.'
bited two little dumpy negro boys, whose appearance Int;
dicated that the dingy profession was as well suited

their dispositions as their complexions.
Sir R. Binwiz reproved the defendant for ill-tree td
an orphan ; commended the sister (a servant) for the csdr
she took of her helpless sisters, and directed that the
fendant should be discharged on paying for the warrant.
