COURT OF CHANCERY',

EIESOROHOH v. THE 315130! Of LOHHOw.
This case, which has been partly argued from tins,.
to time, and the facts of which have been already re-
potted, again occupied the. Court for a considerable
time to-day. The suit, it will be recollected, originated
in the circumstance of too reverend candidates r the
vicarage of S. Stephen's, Coleman-street, baying re-
ceived an equal number of votes.. escept that a Jew had
voted for one of them. The principal questions before
tie Court in its present stage, are—first, whether or not
an election by ballot, in the way in which that in ques-
:inn was carried on, is valid: and secondly, who of the'
pari hioners have a right to vote at it ?
The Loa. CHAXCIWIII adjourned the further argument of the
ease to Wtdnesday next.

COURT OB KING'S BENCH, APILIL 28.
DRAW! O. DROWN AND ANOTIIRR.

This was an action of trover for a horse. The plain.
tiff was trustee of a married wom4n, whose hu,band,
on the marriage, settled the horse in question, and
other property, which had previoudy belonged to her,
upon her, to her own separate use. The husband was
in trade as a leather•dealer,, an :I was the habit of,
using tiro horse in the course of his business. A credi-
tor of his having obtained judgment against him, a writ
was delivered to the defendants, Sheriffs of Middlesex,
who took the horse in execution; and the question was,
whether the horse passe) under the wife's settlement, or
was liable for the husband's debts ? -At the trial before

the Lnrd Chief Justice at the.ll/41iddlesez Sittings, after
last Trinity Term, the plaintiff had a verdict, and in the
folloWing Term, i Rule Nisi having been obtained for
a new trial, cause was now shewn against the Rule, and
Ibe Cosa:, after hearing Counsel on both sides. were clearly of
opinion, that the hone passed to the wife,*under the settlement, and
therefore discharged the, rule.
At one o'clock the Court rose, to attend a inestisig at the twelve
Judges, in the E.:charm Chaster, to amid. of Crown cases,
teemed span the late Circuits. . -

COURT OF C.O3IIdISSIONIERS OF BANICRUPTI.
, 4t y,
y, the Creditors of Mears. Joyner and Co. of the Raw
ford met for the purpose of proving debts, before the Coin-
.llll*Viiefisoir na.nhrupt.
Mr. Woolope appeared as Counsel for the Creditors.
31r. Rosp was for the Bankrupt.
~I)lr.Jorpeit, senior, the father of one of the partners in the esta-
blishment was examined. He appeared to be deeply affected, and
sobbed aloud during the examination.
4 appeared that this Gentleman had left the concern
some years ago, but not having withdrawn his name,
he had been made of course.responsible for the engage-
mints as one of the firm. He stated that he had de-
livered up all the title deeds of property to which be
had claim, and everything he was possessed of on
earth, except about 1001. and his watctr,• which he still
had, and which be was now prepared 'to deliver op, if
the creditors desired that he should do .so. He was
asked whether the firm had embarked in speculations
Which turned out injuriously ? He repl:ed that he never
knew anything about their having engaged in specula.
tions. He had never heard such a thing intimated un-
til that morning, when he was told it was whispered
that something of the kind had taken place.
A CREDITOR rose to propose that the 1001. and the
watch, which Mr. Joyner was prepared to deliver up,
should be prerented to him in testimony of the sense the
creditors had of his honourable dealings. It was greatly
to be regretted that such a calamity had befallen a
Gentleman in the decline of life, who had attained a fine
property by industrious and creditable exertions; and
it. would be grateful to a man, who hsd nothing to
accuse himself of, that a due estimate had been formed

of his worth, by those with whom he now came in con-
tact. He then made the proposition, and expressed bis
conviction that there would not be a dissentient voice
upon the occasion—(Load applause).
A Countryman, whom claim amounted to no more than IL said
he did not understand what was meant by giving the bankrupt
1001. and a watch. He wished to have the matter explained.
Mr. MONTAGU said, with much emphasis, that he
would explain it. The old Gentleman, to whom bene-
volent allusion had been made, had lost all he was worth

to the world. He had been reduced to indigence hom
a state of high independence; and it bad been humanely
proposed to present him with lOU and his watch. If
a proceeding of th's nature was unprecedented, he
would take care that the interests i.of his clients should

not be interfered with ; but it was in constant practice
with creditors who were satisfied of the. integrity of
those who were unfortunate. The surviving partners
in the house of Marshy Stracey, and Fauntleroy, were

ptesented with 6001 or 7001. each, and it would be very
estrsicudinary if, upon the present occasion, the usual
practice were departed from.
Air. Joyner here burst into tears.
Mr. Ross also spoke in terms of strong approbation of the pre-,
rails Which was then ananinuntslY agreed tn.
' 10•10erting adjourned to Saturday neat. The amount of the
ibratergiven up by bk. Joyner is 52,0001.
