BOIIROVALE V. COX AND OrIIERII.
This ease, we stated yesterday, was an application
foriiii•injunction to restrain the defendant from pro-
ceeding by suit at law for the recovery of a bill of ex-,
change fqr 5,0001. The injunction was understood to
be refused, kut the parties had not elected whether they
would try it by avaetion or issnes nut of this Court.
The case was nientioaed again to-day, and the Loan CHANCILLOS
recommended the parties to try the question by action, reserving
the costs of this motion till after the trial of the cause.

The Lotus Cuascitta.os. upon some difference arising at the bar as
to priority of motions, again repeated, that he woold not suffer any

THOMAS V SIOSTOOMERY.
Mr. NI/LLAR said,-that about four months ago the
Court had made an order in the late Duke of Queens-
Serry's cause, directing sums of money to be paid_ to
ten tots reported by the Master to be entitled to theist,
but that the payment should not take place fur.a fort.
night from that time, that persons who might be entitled
to m4ke arrests might have the opportunity of bringing
thtnt in ; none of those arrestments had yet been
made, and the Learned Gentleman thought it time to
claim the benefit of his Lordship's order on 46W of
his clients.
Mr. Mar appeared for the exeirators • be bad no instructions to
contradict anything that had been stated Mr. Millar, and there-
fore could not make any objection.
Isis Loaamfir then ordered the payments to be, wadi forthwith.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Almost 1.
MORRISSST sr. WRITS.

In this case, which we !mention as a singular instance
of the tardiness of legal proceedings, Mr. Srawaat
presented a petition, praying that certain monies might
be paid out of Court with the consent of all the parties.,
It appeared, that a small real property near Wrexham,
having been mortgaged in the year 1774, some disputes
arose in consequence, which terminated in a Chancery
Suit. While the matter was peading,theheir at law of
the mortgager, went to sea, and was never after heard
of; althoosh, however thirty-one years . had elapsed
since that time, the. Ecclesiastical Court had not only
now taken such a legal presumption of his death, as
would warrant them an granting letters of Administra-
tion. It was now prayed, with the consent of all parties,
chat the nsortgage money formerly paid into Court au,
abide the result, should, in consequence of that license,
be paid out, and the estate restored to the legal claim-
ants.—Petition granted.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Amen 1.
George Gee, an Excise °Seer, was discharged' from
prison under the Insolvent ker, in•Aegust last reit.' Ii
was at the time ascertained that he received 1101iiqinr
for his services at the Excise Mace, and the Courtthete-
fore ordered him to pay lel. a year out of his gaiety,
until his debts were discharged. The insolvent,:boia-
ever, refused to obey the order of the Court, and `ap-
plied to be relieved frolics the• barthen of paying' the
above sum, on the ground that he bad a wife and eeistis
children entirely dependent upon biurfor support, sited
be was also in a very distressed state. :It wee, hat-
ever, ascertained that Gee's statement was inceirect,
and that he had discharged an old debt, instead of -di-
riding the money between his creditors.
The Cutts Comm:nouns therefore decreed. that
Gee should pay the 101. a year to his creditors, and be
observed, that insolvents received their discharge upon
conditions, and they were bound to comply with those
conditions, or to chew reasonable cause to the Court of
their inability to do so.

Yesterday a meeting of the Directors and Shareholders
of the Surrey, Susses, and Southwark Fare and Life As-

fate of Mr. JAMIZSON is most deeply deplored by the

professional labours and friendly dispositions were
much valued.
