LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 14.
RYAN V. LAWLSR.--JUDOSINT.
Lord CARHANPTON was present this morning early
with his friends, to await the judgment of the above
cause, which stood over from Saturday.
On the LORDCHANcetwa's arrival, he observed a
tnotion was made to vary the minutes, as he under-
stood it, and recapitulated the terms of the motion
generally.—lt was left to the Master to ascertain
what balance was due to this Defeadant. A sum of
£BOOO and upwards was standing in the name of the
A.ccomptant-General of this Court, and it was left
to enquire, what portion of this sum was to be paid,
to the Solicitors of Miss Lawler ? The motion to'
vary the minutes can only be done in the manner
prescribed by my predecessor and, after mature
deliberation, it will not I find be in my power to
alter the order as at first made. Much has been said
respecting the publication of proceedings in this
Court—publicatiops of which, perhaps, ght not
to take any notice; nor should I, were it not for the
purpose of saying, in general the proceedings of this
Court are very little understood ; it is only from their
being so any evil arises. In the publication of these
proceedings, Lord Cerhampton conceives an attack
AO be made' injurious to his honour ; I am at a loss
how to put a stop to their publicity, as I believe my
predecessors were ; Lord Carhampton will allow me
to say in his presence, if he conceived the conduct of
these Solicitors deserving censure through delay to
his interest, this Court was open to him to move

thereon.
Lord CARHAMPTON—My Lord, that was done.
Sir S. Romm.y—And your Lordship saw there
was no foundation for this proceeding.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then observed, it was im-
possible to vary the minutes, as it would destroy the
order of the Court. He was therefore obliged to dis-
miss the motion of the Noble Lord.
Sir S. ROMILLY applied for costs.—Granted.
Sir S. ROMMLY•-•I hope your Lordship will excuse
the liberty I take, bet so much has been said respect-
ing the conduct of Messrs. Cook and HadEnron in
this cause out of doors, it is the more necessary 1
should do so. If what has been said had been con-
fined to the audience of this Court, it would perhaps
be of no consequence ; but widely spread as their
names have been, would your Lordship have the
condescension to say what part of their conduct is
deserving of censure ?
The Loan CHAIIELLOR.-4 have no inclination to
say any part, nor can I do so.
CARHAMPTON then beggcd a few words in
reply, in which he re-asserted something he had said
on Saturday, which was absented to by Sir S. Ro-
=illy, till the Lord Chancellor thought he should do
right by interposing, to put a stop to this general
conversation.
Being Seal Day, nothing but motions of course
were heard, and his ,Lordsbip rose at one o'clock.
- OLD BAILEY.
Yesterday, Mary Rissole was found guilty of steal-
ing a silver table spoon and two silver tea spoons, on
the 21st of October, the property of Mary Martin.
H. Oliver was indicted for stealing, on the 31st of
October, a blue coat, the property of Jacob Nathan.
—Not Guilty.
7: ilvore stood indicted for stealing two silver tea
spoons, two glass salts, and other articles, the pro.
perty of Sarah Mitchell, in Featherstone.street, when
the house was on fire.—Guilty.
J. Manly and J. Leguelka were found guilty of
stealing agl and Irame from a landau, the pro-
perty
of T. G. Street, November B.—The Recorder
ititerrned the prisoners, lie should think it his duty to
have iliem sent out of the country.
F. I:.9er, aged seventeen, was indicted fur stealing
two calico Shorts,. the property of Sarah and of Julia
Jacobs, in R ithhone-place. The prisoner had called
at the shop under pretence of buying some shifts, and
hearing a noise at the door, ran away with the pro-
perty. Being pursued, he threw them into the area
of a neighbouring house. Several witnesses gave thel
, prisoner an excellent character ; and the Jury, in
finding him guilty, recommended him to mercy, in
which the prosecutrix concurred. It appearing in
evidence, that the boy lodged at a public-house in
town, while the master with whom he worked lived
at Hampstead, the Recorder severely censured the
conduct both of the father of the boy and of his mat-
, ter, in permitting him to reside from under their eye
• and observation, such negligence usually plunging
Many unhappy youths in misery andruin.

HATTON GARTIEN.EITZNSIVE Foxioenv...-Yes.
tardily Mr. Anthony Maciessret, of No. 37, Gower.
street, Bedford-square, underwent a third examina
lion, on various charges of forgery, to the amount of
,several thousand pounds. Additional evidence was
produced, and the prisoner's Attorney made appli.
cation for the prisoner to be committed for trial,
which the Magistrates, however, refused, as other
charges were about to be preferred against him. He
was, therefore, remanded.
Saturday last, a fire broke out on the ',retakes of
Mr. BRENNAN, fell-monger, Ruuell-street. Ber-
mondsey, which communicated to the drying-lofts
of Messrs. WALUa and Son, leather-manufacturers.
By the timely arrival of the engines it was fortunately
got under, by confining it to the above premises, but
not without doing very considerable injury.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-Friday morning last,
the following serious accident took plate at Nesham
Main Colliery, Northumberland ; Four of the work-
men were employed on a stage 70 fathoms down the
shaft, and one of them came to bank to get something
wanted ; while talking to the banksmair, and incau•
tiously passing along a plank, he fell down upon the
stage be had a few minutes before left, and so great
was the force he had acquired, that three beams, six
inches by four, which supported the stage, wore
broken by the shock, and the poor fellow, with his
three companions, were precipitated to the bottom
(55 falsoass heeler), and all dashed to pieces.
