LAW REPORT!.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Jun 3.
ssitaucv V. LORD TCI&tUS.

Sir EDWARD &MD= moved to dissolve the mar mode
in this case by the ViceXhanceilor. restraining Ead Ferrer.
and his agents from cutting down any timber whatsoever on
his Lordship's estate at Staqton Harrold, and in case of an
infringement of such order, that his Lordship's estates might
be sequestrated, and Mr. Davey, the agent, be committed to
the Fleet for contempt.
Mr. WAREFIRLD followed OR the same side.
Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. KINNERSLEY were beard in
support of the Tice.eltancellor's onler. The affidavits, they
contended, clearly showed that Lord Fervent was cutting
ornamental timber, and he only asked for a delay to eoable
him to go on doing so.
The LORD enaxceseeto said it must be at the peril of
all parties so to do. His hardship could not go ioto his
park and cut timber with a penknife; and if other persons
violand the injunction granted in March, unless they were
Members of Parliament, they would most assuredly be soot
to the Fleet.

The Learntd Counsel then argued on the Improper time
of the year for felling timber, and read another affidavit,
which stated Cita Lord Ferrer' had cut down an ornamental
111YeMae.

Sir R. SUDDEN wu about to reply, when—
The Loan CIIRIICELLos said it was unnecessary. His
Lordship then said he thought time should have beer: al-
lowed to Lord Ferree to answer the affidavits before the Vice
Chancellor pronounced the order. It was no slight matter
for a Noble Lord's estates to be sequestrated, and other par-
ties sent to the fleet without their haring an opportunity of
answering the facts charged against them. He felt, there.
fore, bound, under all the circumstances of the case, to dis-
mis. the Order made by the Vice.Chancelior.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after pronouncing the deci.
sion, said, I am happy to be able, in the presence of the
Noble Defendant, to stay (Karl Ferrets was sitting on the
Bench), that I have no doubt be will maturely weigh and
well consider what timber he cuts. I have no doubt he will
be careful that a sequestration does not issue against his
estates, or that those acting under his orders should not be
sent to the Fleet for contempt.
Sir E. SUDDEN assured the Court that Lord Ferrets was
acting under the most deliberate advice.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Juxs 3.

The Arroswer-Genzaat. moved fur • rule to shew
cause why a mandamus Pbould not issue, commanding the
Mayor and Corporation of the Borough of Great Yarmouth
to give their attendance at the usual place of meeting, for
the purpose of forwarding the public business of the Corpo-
ration. The application was made on the part of the Mayor
himself, who thought that the Members of the Corporation
absented themselves purposely. The period of holding hts
office would shortly expire, and the public business might
be neglected, if the Court wu not called upon, in the present
Term, to interfere.

turd TENTaRDZX asked what the public businami was ?
The wroawcv•Gettritato—They bays SOWS WWII to
sign, and other public business that requires the attendance
of the parties, whose object is to keep out of the way.
Lord TINTERDEN—You may take a rule to thew cause,
but unless there is activity in serving notices, you will dein
no benefit this Term.

No other matter of the slightest public Interest occurred
during the day.
