VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MARCH IT.
LADY EMILy VANE TE:4PEsT.
Sr ARTHUR PIt:GOTT said, that he had a motion
to make in this case, which was of considerable itr.-
' portance, if his Honour would be pleased to hear it.
The motissit was directed by the Lord Chancellor to
be made to his Honour, and bad for its object the
prevention of any inconvenience that might arise
from delay. It was that certain insertions might be
made in the deed of settlement to be drawn up pre-
vious to the solemnization of the marriage of Lord
Stewart with Lady Emily Vane Tempest, which had
been inach'ertently omitted. The first was respect-
ing certain estates to which Lady Ernilyvas enti-
tled as tenant in tail; and also of cc:lain limitations
in ri•spect to some coal-mines, in the event of Lord
Stewart surviving Lady Emily, which had been in-
serted by mistake as t i go to tenants in tail male,
whereas, for the security of the female part of the
claimants, the estates should have been described as
to revert to the tenants in tail generally. Certain
direztiens as to the working of the collieries would-
also he necessary to be inserted ; ritmely, that it
should be binding on the parties, cin;.ing the life-
time of Lord Stewart, to work the said mines, un-
less it would be to the disadvantage of the estate to
do so ; and it, at the death of Lord Stewart, in the
event of his surviving Lady Emily, tl:c collieries
should nat he worth more than they were at this
time, then the persons in possession might he nt liberty
to take fresh !uses at the same rate as at present.
Mr. HART said he appeared for Lady Antrim, and
had no objection w the insertions being made.
Mr. Roue' LL, an beliaT of the infant, also con-
sented to the motion, which was accordingly glanced.
PREROGATIVE COURT, MARCH 17.
FRANCIS V. Fits...sm.
A question arose on the admissibility of an allega-
tion given in by the widow of the late Sir Philip
Francis, setting up three loose papers as codicils to
a regular will made by Sir Philip, in which he be-
queaths to her his house in St. James's-square, pro-
vided she does not again marry ; but if she should,
then it is to devolve upon his son. One of these
loose papers was that upon which the whole argu-
ment, turned. Addressing his wife, he says—" You,
I ant sure, will be moderate, and he (his son, whom
he wishes to reside in the same house with his Lady),
I I am equally convinced, will act liberally and kindly
towards you ; at all events the house, and every
thing in it, is your's for life."
Sir JOHN NiCoL rejected the allegation, as he could
not believe that a man of the precision and accuracy
of Sir Philip Francis, had intended a loose pzper,
written on the back of an invitation card, to super-
sede a will so strong and effective as the one that
he had left.

MARQUIS 01' 1 SNANDALE.--We stated lately that
this title, one of the most ancient of the Scottish
Peerage, which has lain dormant since the demise of,
the late Marquis in 1792, was likely to be soon revived,'

Dublin, having at length obtained the certificates of
certain Registries, Wills, Bcc. which wcre wanted '
