LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Aran, 21.
The Loan estaisseas,usa came down to Lincoln's-ion
this morning -t ten o'clock.' Oue or two Counsel; and
several Solicitors, sviSte•in attendance.
His 1-**08110", shortly after his . arrival. expressed a
wish to know wiret..cr. in case he deputed hence before
be got through all :is judgments, which he believed-
would probably be the case, the parties in those cases
which stood for judgment would have any obj-ction to
his doing what he did when•be 'went rut of office in the
year 1806—namely, giving the judgment as sonsi after
he went out as he possibly could, those judgments to
be considered AS if they had been given while he was in
• office? if parries would have the goodness to let him
know their feelings an this subjeit, he should be very
happy to do the best he could tie them.
Mi. KNIGHT could only speak for those for whom he
himself was concerned; and with the utmost confidence
be could take upon himself to state, that nothing could
possibly be proposed so satisfactory to all patties in-
terested in the cases in which he was engaged, that
"mood for judgment. than such * plan.
• The Loan CHANCSLLOR, at a subsequent pert of the
morning, said that, with respect to the blahliittpt Peti-
tions, he thought there would be no difficultrin giving
the judgments in these which had been beard. Any
• :bankrupt Petitions that have not been beard, added his
'. tordship, I will not enter upon at all. . Those that are
part heard,.if there be an inconvenience, as there may
Se, to those interested, to have them fuUy heard by any
other person, I think it but a duty on my part to go en
with the hearing of those Petitions, if the parties Wish,
it; because I should be sorry that dray additional ex.,
pease should be incurred by having them gone ever
again. With respect to the lunatic Petitions, I sent•thepe
all back, and on a great proportion I endorsed *hot
thought the orders should be. As to the others, Lhave
• carefully read them over; if Mi. Law, or Counse),coad
'ittend me on Monday, I could then get through them,'
so as not to leave my successor any old ones whatever
to begin with. His Lordship again observed,—when
I went out of office in 1806, such of the judgments as
• • could not be given before 1 was obliged to deliver up the
Great Seal, the Counsel and parties at that time were
' pleased to repose so much confidence in me as to say
' they 'would afterwards take the judgments as if they
had been given before I went oat of office. Now, it
would be a very great satisfaetion for me to know in
; what cases the parties would now consent to do that,
and- in what cases they would not. It would be a great
inconvenience for me to get through them all before
I trained office; and if it would be a convenience to the
parties to have my judgments afterwards, I shall do my
best to satisfy them.

11311111TRI. N. BOTLIL
Mr. Kelton requested permission to move expo:de
fora special injunction in this case.
The Loan Cumicu.Loa—Why, Mr. Knight, I had
made up my mind to do no more ►usiness us the way
of bearing any thing. I bad certainly made up my
mind to that; and the reason of it was, that I thought
I could do-better for the suitors at. large, by confining
myself entirely to'disposing of the cases that have been
argued before me.
Mr. KNIGHT said, his injunction pressed excessively.
His Loansole—Though I had made up my mind as
I have stated, yet my respect for you, Mr. Knight, has
always been so great, that I don't know how I can re-
fuse you any thing, and, therefore, let me hear what
your motion is?
The mn,ti•n► was for an injunction to restrain pro-
ceedings in the Lord Mayor's Court, upon an. attach-
ment that had been made upon 12,0001. in a banker's
hands, upon the plaintiff's bringing that sum into Court,
to abide the result of the cause. The question was,
upon the construction of an agreement respecting some
secoriue► to a large amount. The defendants are in
Scotland, but by a process in the City have been laying
hold of the plaintiff's money in question.
H. LORDSHIP granted the injunction until the fur-
ther order of the Cain, upon the condition that the
plaintiff should bring the sum into court before twelve
o'disck on Wednesday, or cabeglisse it was to be ipso
facio dissolved.

siatrasu O. (mows.
Mr. Was: asked his Lordship, it he would finally
hear this cause, which had been already partly hear d. I
The LORD CHANCELLOI6 said, that would just depend
upon the length of time Mr. Itattray might bedisposed
to speak. Last time he addressed the Court, be seemed
to bid fair to speak for a much longer time than others
seemed disposed to allow him (the Lord 'Chancellor) to
hold the Great Seal-0 laugh).
