LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Avian.
The LORD CHANCZLLOR came down to Lincoln's-inn
again to day, and transacted business in his private
room. The cases disposed of were, for the most part,
lunatic petitions. No persons but the Counsel and So-
licitors engaged in the particular cases called on were
admitted: but the Court outside was crowded. His
Lordship did aot wear his judicial robes.

JUDGII
His LORDSHIP, seeing Mr. Bickersteth in the room,
told him that he should feel particularly obliged to that
Gentleman if he would take the trouble of obtaining
and communicating to him. the opinion of - the Bar.
upon whether, as he had purpo.ed on Saturday, it would
be better for him to dispose of in judgment, after he
went out of office, those judgments being to be consi-
dered as if delivered while yet in office, all cases that
now stand for judgment, instead of having those cases
again argued before his successor ?
Mr. BICKIRSTRTH promised to attend to his Lord-
ship's wishes.
His LORDSHIP, afterwards addressing Mr. Treslove,
said, " Mr. Treslove, I find it will be quite impossible
for me to get through all the cases that stand for judg-
ment, before I am shipped off ; and, therefore, I shall be
exteedingly glad to know whether the Bar and the
suitors will take my judgments after I go out of office,
,us if ditlivered while in it?
