LAW 1iP0117%

COURT OF CHANCERY, Jaw. n.
Mr. Charles Pitt, of the Adeiphi, appeared again in this Court, re-
Waling a petition he had Sled in the matter of James and *Henry
Joaies bankluptcy. and particularly complaining of the conduct of
Henry Hamilton, Esq. as solicitor to the said Commbeion.,
_of which
he (Mr. Pitt) is one of the assignees. He was ping to address the
Cam, when
Mr. Montague rose, and said he objected to Mr. Pitt advancing one
hair's-breadth farther, until he produced sidevits of !egoist notices
having been served on the parties whale presentawas neceesuy inCourt.
litr.Pyrr Oh; lam quite ready with them, Sir,
The Loan Cnancrteoa asked the learned counsel whether he had
received proper notice
Mr. Me:croons : I have received, my lord, a sort of libel
The Loan CHANCELLoa : Never mind what kind of instrument it
was. Did it give von such information as led yeti tolieliree this peti-
tion was to be heard this morning ?
Mr. Montague—Certainly not.
Mr. Pitt, at the desire of the Court, now mad two affidavits of pa
per services on Charles Bathurst, Esq. one of the Commissioners L 3 the
Bankruptcy, and Henry Hamilton, Esq. Solicitor io the Commission.
The Loan Comeettnne complained to the petitioner of his having
very improperly introduced the names of his Noble predecessor (Lord
Lyndhurst) and his (Lord liroughasn's) in his notices, as it was insinu.
ating that he was acting on their desire • and his Lordship begged it
never might occur again, as it must be obvious to every one, that who-
ever filled the seat on which he was that sitting, as holding the Great
Seal. gave no advice but in his official capacity. His Lordship then
wished Mr. Pitt to hand up the notices and other pipers ; and. after
examining them he was of opinion that the services were not sufficient,
and therefore dismissed the petition.
Mr. MONTAGU' said it was not for the object of his fee that be was
induced to ask for costs. but he had given Dlr. Pitt two warnings al-
ready, that if he ;brought unnecessarily die parties beton the Court
again, he would ask for costs. He wished also to add, that the law
would take its course against Mr. Pitt to-morrow morning (this day.)
The learned counsel again asked for costs.
The LOAD CHANCELLOR said he would consider of the matter ;
and turning to Mr. Pitt, told him he had acted very improperly ; be
had much to thank Mr. Montague for, as he might Dave taken his
(Mr. Pitt's) person in execution ; he hoped, however, that be would
not unnecessarily bring the parties a fourth time before the nodes of
the Court.
Mr. Cooesa rose. and addressing the Lord Chem:eller, said he beg-
ged
permission to mention what he, and he believed every one else, con-
sidered a serious evil to the junior gentlemen at the bar, and to every
suitor concerned is the Court of Chancery; he referred to the =elect
practice of King's Counsel making all their voodoos before junior
Counsel begin with anv that were entrusted to that; be then held in.
his hand one that he had been endeavouring to bring before the notice
of the Court ever since last May, and it must be obviate, be said, that
such delays might produce a suspense of many yaws to parties inter.
ested in causes.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said this was a legisladve consideration,
rather than for the Court ; however, if Mr. Cooper had a motion
which was pressing, be bad no doubt the Lamed Gentlemen inside
of the bar would waive their right, and oblige the Learned Counsel.
Mr. Cooper thanked his Lordship, and add he did not rise foe that
purpose. and much less to complain of the gentlemen within the bar,
as the conduct he bad always received from them bad been
ate:teous and kind. It was the evil Itself, which, is point of faterially affected Counsel as well as suitors the had mentleoed it to the late
Laid Chancellor. but Lord Lyndhurst had forgotten what Sir J.
=had so lately said In the House of Commons; he had oleo men.
it to Lord lion ; but in this, as In many other matters, his
Loreidp never made up his mind, and no change had been made since
the time of Lord Bacon. The Learned Counsel concluded, by
pardon foe having troubled the Court, but he thought the qu
so much importance, that he had been induced to act as be had
dose.
The LORD CHANCILLOR considered it was an evil, but one of so
long standing, that he did not feel himself at liberty to intakes. until
he had conferred with the Judges of the other Courts, and other persons
whose opinion his Lordship wished to avail himself of.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jaw. 27.
SELBY V. IARDONS.
This was an action brought by the parish of St. Andrew, Rollin,
against the Benchera of Gray'i Inn, to try the question of the liaMilty

and was tried at the sittings of the last Teem, when a verdict was glees
for the defendant.
Sir J. ficAaLETT applied to the Court to have the Indite see ad*
and a new trial granted, on the ground that the verdict was spiel the
wet of evidence.
The Court said that the Jury were the jades of the eviemeo, and

awe ; and, if decided in favour of the livaymm, will be the means of
upsetting a power acted upon for centuries by the Mama and War-
den. see cooly of the Merchant Tailm's Company, bat also of the
Masters and Wardens of the various other cans uired ossopeales in
the City.
The Attorney-Ganeral applied for a rule to thew cause why a Mai-

Shaw, Isaac Wiseman, Samuel Coley Sharpe. Janis, James

that, at an election for an Alderman for the Ward of Cookkrd,

three candidates, namely, the above-named Thomas Edwards, Thomas
Shaw, and a Mr. Steward. Mr. Shaw resigned in favour of iv. Soy.
sour, who was defeated by Mr. Steward, who became the onosess-
fid candidate. In the course of the election, it was swoon that the
various pause just mentioned offered bribes, and did actually
bribe several voters to give their support to Mr. Thomas Edwin&
With respect to Messrs. Wiseman and Coley, one of the porous
who made an affidavit respecting the fact of bribery, an is.
dividual named Thompson. deposed that he was ofiked els somelpe
by either,‘Viesossa a Coley, to vote for Mr. Edwards. He was rbie

upon the Jury. no return was made with reaped to those bills. Coder
all those circumstances. he (the Attorney-Chneral) hoped that the rule
be applial for would be granted, -and that the remit would be, that
mottling like purity would be introduced into the city *ales la

Mr. Justice LvITLIEDALii did not see that any case bed WI
