On Saturday, at half-past one o'clock, the Lord Chancel-
lor proceeded to hear an adjourned case of appeal, from the
Scotch Court of Chancery.
Upon the counsel tor the respondent rising, Mr. Cherie,
Kemble presented a petition to the Lord Chancellor relative
to the Covent Garden Theatre.

LORD CIAWCELLOR.-Iklr. O'Gorman, it was proposed
that we should hear " Harris Y. Hemble's ease to-day, for it
was specially fixed for Friday. Owing to the indisposition of
Lord Plunkett, it stood over; but, if the parties are ready,
I don't see how it can be postponed again.
It was Intimated they were not.
Mr. Ramble said he trusted it would be heard on Wed.
nesday.
LORD errancy xxon.—That cannot be done, for the Pro-
rogation of Parliament will take place before then, and may
be extended to the Ist of December. instead of the lit of
November ; but as the case has been so many times before
me, let the parties conie to some understanding—for Par
liament will he up next week, and I shall not sit again fur •
fortnight, espclally as I have been so many months engaged
In town.

Mr. Kemble.—lf the cue does not proceed at once my
ruin will be certain, for I and my partner have paid a far
greater sum already than the amount of my debts ; and if
it should be now deferred, it will bring entire ruin upon
myself, the actors, shareholders, and every person belonging
to the theatre, who are depending on their exertions for a
livelihood, and I will appeal to the humanity of Sir E.
Snide°, whether he will persist in having the appeal pest-
paned under these circumstances.
Sir E. SuonEm.—.l am very sorry to oppose the petition,
but I have been attending here several days. and although
the case has been filed repeatedly into the paper, has always
been removed, and I am not ready now.
LORD CHANCELLOR.-1 know such to beam =MI j first
Mr. Pepys is ill, then Lord Plunkett is not able to attend,
and how can it go on !
Mr. Kemble again begged to have the case called on, as
be would be ruined if it was not beard.

Loins Cwawczutoa—That is the common observation
—the applicant will be ruined if the use don't go on—but I
will make enquiries into the circumstances which you have
mentioned in the course 'of Monday, add will then state
when it shall go on. Had you not better make some
Idefinite arrangement, and fix it for the beginning of No-
vember P

After a few further remarks the conversation was dropped.
