COURT OF CHANCERY, NOV, It
IMPORTANT APPEAL CAUSE.
• Sit SAMUEL ROMILLY then observed, that there was
an appeal pending before the House of Lords, which
was of the utmost importance—it was instituted for
the purpose of having the point decided, Whether a
commission of Bankruptcy having been awarded
against a person in this country, a sequestration might
also be awarded against him in Scotland If there
was one appeal, which, not frlm its own peculiar
circumstances, but from the immense questions of
general interest which it embraced, deserved priority
of consideration, more than another, it was this ;
and he hoped his Lordship would girt It that priority
on the paper it so justly demanded;
The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired What had been
the decision of the Court of Session onthis point Il
Sir &satin ROMILLY said, the Cburt of S,ssion
had decided, that the commission of bankruptcy and
the sequestration might have effect at the same time,
with reference to the same individual.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then observed, that he did
not know what course their Lordships' intended to
pursue in the ensuing Session of Parliament with ray
spect to appeals. The circumstAnce which had just
been related to him should, however, receive his best
attention.

CASE OF THE FOETITUtIL
This was a Danish ship, captured by a privateer,
while sailing between Bourdeaut and Havre, with an
English licence on board, allowing her to go on slit%
a destination in ballast, for Me molests cf afterwatdi
briastist a tarp to England 1 Wit it was objected by tile
Counsel for the captors, that the licence Wits expired,
and that the vessel was not in ballast* but carrying
two hogsheads of claret, and a hogshead and a half
'of brandy.
It turned out, that the Danish master, who was
'also owner of the ship, having been detained at Boor..
Ideatix a long time, by circumstance; which did Hot
very distinctly appear, at last bethought himself of
getting away, under protection of an English licence ;
and though be knew nothing about any cargo to be
obtained a Havre, or elsewhere* he wrote, in ffpril,
to ah agent of his own in London, who procured for
him the licence above-described, which bore date on
the 11th of May, and was to afford protection for
four months. He had a clearance from Bourdeaux
six days before the licence was expired, but did not
get out of the river of Bourdeaux till eight days after
its expiration. This delay was'accounted for by the
master's having come over to England in the mean
while, and stayed some time on some law concerns,
and afterwards gone to Paris to look for a freight,
and thence to Bourdeaux to repair his ship. He
stated that he did not hear of a freight till the 19th of
August, and then only by letter from Paris, but did
not say what the cargo for England w.s to be* or
who was to supply it.
