COVRT OF CHANCERY, MARCH :11.
CONTEMPT.--CUMMINO V. CUMMING.
CrrSOICSI, itOIILLY, in reference to this case,
elat an order of the Court had been directed
ved on the Solicitor of Mrs. Catharine Cum-
an affidavit having been made that she could
found, calling on-her to produce and deliver
,tin children, Wards of the Court. That order
accorlinely been served, to which no attention
paid. Ile was therefore instructed now to
an attachment might issue against her for
contempt in having withheld the children in de-
of the said Order.
,LORDCHANCELLOR--I would rather alter the
make a fresh Order to be served on'
66,,,i0r, which will be held as a good service,
4 on her to appear and produce these infants
C,;.,0n Friday morning next.
GCNZALES V. MAITLAND AND CO.
an application to stay proceedings at
it the production of certain books, papers, &c.
;;:se in Spain, relative to six bills of exchange
to have been given for a certain quantity of
riae years since. the LORD CHANCELLOR, after
ig Counsel at great kngth, and observing on
aplicated nature, said he would give judgment
on Thar, day next.
Sir Samoa, ROMILLY, in the course of his argu-
- quoted a case, some time since before 'his
lip of a similar nature to the above, as a ground
ring the proceedings, and remarked on the
xis character of the bills in question.
;hich the LORD CHANCELLOR replied—" Sir
there seems to be a great deal of cheating
ming with respect to Spanish wool."
OPERA,HOUSE.—WATERS V. TAYLOR.
Tie SoLiciroit-GENERa r. said, he had a short
lon w submit to the Court, but he should post-
' till Learned Friend, Sir Samuel Romilly,

,e
The Loan CIIANCELLOR-1 hope it is not about
e Opera iloase.
taeSouclroß-GENErt.ir.—lt is, my Lord; but
is only respecting the drawing up of an order for
Treasurer passing his accounts, and which order
ir Lordship formerly granted.
The LORD CIIANCELLOR—Since it is so, you may
well amuse us, Mr. Solicitor, with the Opera-
as there is no other motion at present likely
made. _ _

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then proceeded. He
ed. that it was a Petition from
_Mr. James
iley, that the Register might be directed to
up the order, by which he (Mr. Bromley), as
rarer of the Opera-House, might be allowed to
ais accounts, and be discharged from his re-
v:lances. The order, if he was not mistaken,
formerly drawn up by his Lordship himself, but
e objections had been made by the defendant's

Lorin CHANCELLOR—What is the matter,
?
'!r. Mir.r.s—When we went, my Lord, to Mr.
..astord, the Register, for the Order, Mr. Duthie,
c:!si S licitor to the Defendant, objected to the
bereficial being in the Order, and wished the
'AI necessary to be substituted inits room. Mr.
Ithie liciag-no longer Solicitor for the Defendant ;
understand, my "Lord, the present Solicitor denies
at such an Order was ever made.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Take the Order, unless
Samuel Romilly, on coming into Court, spews
to the contrary.
Sir SAMUEL Itomiu,v then came in.
The LORD CHANCELLOR-1 am glad to see you,
Samuel, as we have had another touch at the
era House again.
sir SAMUEL ROMILLY said, the application was
the Court as a mere matter of course, for
iiurpose of more money being. allowed to Mr.
tiers, as Manager of the Theatre, than had been
lied him by the Master. That money was daim-
on account of the dressing•rooms and other things
icing cost a very great sum. if such an order was
:.aae, why did the other side not take it? At all
e;cnts this application should have been made on
triOal grounds, and not as a mere matter of course.
rhe LORD CHANCELLOR—The other side declare
tit such an Order is in the Register's book.
Tae SOLICITOR-GENERAL said his Lordship had
rtmoved Mr. Bromley from his office, but he had
been able to take up his recognizances, his ac-
r.:.iis not having yet been passed. He understood
an Lordibip had not only penned the order, but had
::err-ards corrected and revised it.
fne LOP.D CHANCELLOR—I think I did.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY said, that it occurred to him
there was a great deal of diffe:-cnce between the
words beneficial and ncceiary. Ile contended that
the sword necessary should be inserted.
The LORD CHANCELLOR-1 am sure it is quite im-
possible, even in the Opera-I leu,e case, to recollect
that passes, but I think the word beneficial was
inserted. At all events take the Order, and let us
go out of the Opera-llous:i, for alas day at least.
Motion granted.
LORD CHARLES TOWNSIIEND V. THE BISHOP OF NOR-
WICH AM.) OTHERs.
NV: HART moved on the part of the plaintiff, that
fie Bishop of Norwich should be restrained, by in-
Irom making pre,entations to certain church
viags until the healing of this cause on its merits.—
application was only a part of a motion where an
*'.auction was granted against the other defei. 'ants ;
Fat if the 11.4.0 p of Norwich was not restrained by
Court,
.the livings might be vacant six months,
according to t 11:: Act of Parliament the presenta-
...os would be vested in the Crown.
The LORD CHANCELLOR-- Take your motion."
