TENNANT V. VAUGHAN.

The LORD CHANCELLOR had published an order em-
powering parties to take petitions in bankruptcy before
the V:ce•Chancellor, and in his absence before the Mas-
ter of the Rolls, with the consent of parties, and without
prejudicing the right to a rehearing before his Lordship
in case they should think it necessary.
Mr. ROUPELL said, that in this case, which concerned
a ward of the Court, and of which the particulars have
been frequently before the Public, there were two peti-
tions, which by consent of parties it was desired to bring
before his Honour the Master of the Rolls. But the
older before mentioned only gave that liberty as to pe-
r:lolls in bankruptcy. He wished to have his Lord-
sh'ip's leave to have these petitions heard by the Master of
11,e R.;:ls, sitting in the Court of the Vice-Chancellor.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that it was not his in-
teritlon, in issuing that order, to restrain parties in cause
re mons from going before the Master of the Rolls.
Tire order must be taken generally where the parties
c!iose to consent.
