LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DECEMBER 11.
MACKENZIE O. MACKENZIE.
The point at issue in this cause was, whether cer-
tain sums, devised in a codicil to plaintiffs, to whom
legacies had been left in the will, were to be added
to the legacies, or substituted for them?—Mr. Wil-
liam Mackenzie, the testator, had made his will in
England. and had afterwards added a codicil in Flo-
rence, where he died. In the codicil, he stated that
he had made a will, of which he did not recollect the
date, and confirms every part of it. In the will, he
had left a specified sum to his reputed son, Alexan-
der Mackenzie, by Margaret Lincoln, to be paid to
him on his arriving at the age of t,enty-four. Ile
had also left specified sums to his sisters, his nieces,
&c. The iesidue he had devised to his brother, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Mackenzie, of Fairburn, in Ross-shire,
if he should survive him; if not, he had directed the
residue to be divided among the other legatees. In
the codicil, he left the same sum to his son and to the
other legatees, but with some variations respecting
the payment of interest. The present suit was there-
fore brought by the legatees against Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Mackenzie, to obtain payment of the legacies
comulatively. •
The VICE-CHANCELLOR save judgment this morn-
ing in favour of the plaintiffs. There was not such
a similarity in the devises, as to induce a belief that
the testator had intended to substitute the legacies
devised in the codicil for those devised in the will.
HOWARD AND GIBBiS BANKRUPTCY.
This case was again brought forward before the
Court this day, on the petition of Mr. George Car-
roll, praying that a debt of £18,207, claimed by him
to be due from the bankrupts estate, might be de-
creed to be admitted by the Commissioners.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after considerable argu-
ment, dismissed the petition, but gave liberty to Mr.
Canon to again apply to the Commissioners.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 11.
BOUTELLIER O. THICK.
This was an action by the indorsee against the in-
dorser of a bill of exchange for £5O. The defendant
pleaded a set-off.
The plaintiff bad been Secretary to the Norwich
Union Dire and Life Insurance Office, of which the
defendant had been an Agent. It was admitted that
the plaintiff was trustee for the other members of the
Society, and that the defendant, as against them,
had a set-off to the amount of the bill of-exchange in
question. Before the cause came to a conclusion, at
the suggestion of the Learned Judge, it was agreed
to refer it to arbitration.
BRINKMAN V. BALL.
Mr. GURNEY stated that the plaintiff, in May last,
lost his pocket-book, containing three £3O Bank of
England notes, and small notes to the amount of 1.76
He was proceeding by advertisement to make in-
quiry after the property, when he received an anany-1
mous letter, informing him that the notes were found
by a person who, reduced to necessity, had used
them, but would pay the amount, with interest, as
soon as possible. The plaintiff traced the letter to
the defendant, and called on him: the defendant did
' not deny having found the notes, but said he had
nsed them, and talked of getting a friend to become
security for payment of the mone;•. A person was ap-
