/tT 'ME MATTER OT ROWLASID STRIPUSNSOW AND
OTHERS.
Mr. Swanston applied on behalf of a Mr. Searle, who
was entitled to certain stock standing in his Wen con-
nected with this bankruptcy, for Iwo to have a petition
presented without the name of the petitioner, he being
abroad at present ; and that the petition, after it had been
Answered, might be put at the bottom of the paper.
Prayer granted.

_
LUNACY.
Mr. Temple held in his hand the petition of the com-
mittee of a gentleman against whom a commission of lu-
nacy had issued. After the finding of the lunacy, the
lunatic, having been well in health and conduct, was per-
mitted for some time to go about in the neighbourhood
where he lived. During this period individuals who had
formerly been in the habit of supplying him with corn,
&c. for his horses, continued to do so. The committee
intended to have paid off the debts that had been thus
contracted out of the amount allowed for his mainte-
nance : but unfortunately a change took place in the lu-
natic's state of mind, which rendered it necessary to have
him consigned to a lunatic asylum. This occasioned a
congderable additional expense, and left the committee
unable to pay off the delfts that had been referred to. The
amount of these debts was not stated in the petition.
The committee and family of the lunatic were anxious
that they should be paid, and the petition prayed to have
it referred to the Milner to inquire what debts had been
thus contracted, and whether they ought, and if so, out
of what fund they should be paid.—Granted.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, hair *9.
PRACTICE OF TIIE COURT.
_ _

Mr. Cooper said he was instructed to call the Vice
Chancellor's attention to a decree made by the Court a
few• days since for the sale of an estate, in which estate
his client had an incumbrance of 6,0001. but yet had no
notice served on him of any intention to apply, to the
Court for a decree authorising a sale. Now he had no
hesitation in saying, that a decree thus obtained was a
freed upon the Court; and the effect might be, a sale of
the estate and the proceeds divided without his knowledge.
Vice Chancellor—Your client must acquiesce in the
sale, or a good title could not be made. I cannot see how
he is likely to be injured.
Mr- 'Casper—lf this decree is allowed to stand, it at
once upsets Ilse long-established rule of the Court, and
one which 'has beeninvariably acted upon, vie. the neces-
sity of having every party interested present in the Court
before any decree is made. I wish therefore to ask, for
my own information, and for the information of the whole
bar, whether this ancient and wholesome rule, acted upon
by all your Honour's predecessors, is now to be abolished ?
• Vice-Chancellor—Your client, Mr. Cooper, was not
Made a party to the suit. All those who were parties
consented to this decree. He, therefore, not being a
party, has no right to interfere ; and I again repeat, that
as his concurrence must be obtained before a valid sale
of the estate can be effected, his interests cannot be
damnified.

Mr. Cooper said he must still contend that it was a
novel proceeding for the Court to make a decree in the
absence of parties, and one calculated to open a wide
field for fraud.

Mr. Knight said he could not sit still and hear an in-
sinuation that this decree was obtained by fraud, parti-
cularly after the claim of Mr. Cooper's client had been
rejected in the Master's Office.
The Vice-Chancellor I shall not vary the decree.
The charge of fraud has had no effect on my mind. I
consider it falls to the ground.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JOLT U.
HUNT V. MORTIMER.

This action was brought by the assignees of Gilbert,
a bankrupt, to recover back 1,0021. which it was alleged
the defendant received from the bankrupt alter an act of
bankruptcy. The question was, whether the defendant,
!rho is an ironmonger in the city of London, had been a
favoured creditor, receiving his debt by undue preference.
The jury had to decide upon the evidence, whether the
4efendant knew that Gilbert had committed an act of
bankruptcy prior to the payment of the money ?
After the facts had been proved, the jury found a ver-1
dict for the defendant.

REEVE V. STACEY AND 'OTHERS.

The Attorney-General stated to the Jury that this was
a qui tam action brought to recover certain penalties
tom the defendant, a coal merchant, for an alleged fraud
in selling five chaldrons of " Eden Main" coals as
" Stewart's Walls End." The Act of Parliament under
which this action was brought was the 47th Geo. 111.
and imposed a penalty of 201. per chaldron on any coal
merchant who should sell one description of coals for
another. The Learned Counsel then called
Mr. R. A. Coward, of Cheapside, who deposed that in
July last year he gave the defendant an order for five
chaldrons of the " best Walls End" coals, at 455. per
chaldron. They were sent in when he was from home,
and he afterwards found that that they were not " Walls
End," but merely " Eden Main," an inferior sort of coals.
The defendant afterwards said that the coals were as good
as " Walls End," as they had been sifted.
Several other witnesses were called to pro►e that the
coals in question were " Eden Main."
Mr. Campbell objected, that in proof of the coals
being " Eden Main," the plaintiff had failed.
Lord Tenterden overruled the objection.
Mr. Campbell then addressed the jury for the defen-
dant ; he contended that even if the jury were satisfied
that the coals in question were " Eden Main," Mr.
Coward had no cause to complain, as he had an article
quite as good as " Walls End," at a much lower price.
As a proof that no fraud had been either attempted or
contemplated, he had charged a much lower profit on
them than was the custom of the trade fur " Walls End"
coals. That profit was 12s. upon each chaldron from the
ship's side, but in this case not so much as 7s. He trusted,
therefore, that the jury, being of opinion that there was
no fraud, would find for the defendants.

Thd Learned Judge summed up the evidence, and the
jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff—da-
guggee 100/. being 201. on each chaldmn.

OWILT V. SPURR AND ANOTHER, GENTS.

Mr. Gurney (with whom was Mr. Platt) stated that
the plaintiff had been engaged in some law proceedings,
and had had the sum of 1,0241. to pay fur damages and
costs. The defendants were highly respectable attorneys
in the City of London, and being concerned for the plain-
tiff in the actions in question, had arranged with the other
pa's attorney, that the sum of 1,024!. should be paid
on 'Saturday, the 22d day of November. On that day
Mr. Owllt, having previously lodged the amount at
his banker's, called at the defendants' °dices, and paid to
Mr. Leach, one of the defendants, a check for 1.024/. to
tweet "the amount due to Messrs. Chinon and Carter. it,
hewever„ unfortunately happened that in the coarse of
that Saturday the defendants had received a letter from
Mauna. Chinon tod Co. extending the tine of payment
to the • liniidny following ; and is. ceosequbles Mr. 4
