COURT OF, C.IIANCJAY. Mae 2S.
VITZIAOT V. TUX DUEL 01 XORTOLX;
1%1 Suavest applied to have the Master's ,it Tort
confirmed.

Mr. RIIILLIMIRIE requested that the ditecision of
this matter might be put off for a kw drys. Instruc-
tioni bad. just been handed to him; on the behalf of'
Mr. Jackson, who claimed to be entitled to a part of
the fund in questi‘.n, and .r 'o objected to the MAster's
lteputt.
The Lone Csinstcet.con did sot think that this pre
text was a sufficient reason for del.rying the business,
and accordingly pronounced the otder.

IN THE MATTIR OP DEACON.
Mr. HEALD appeared to skew cause against an in-
junction which had been obtained against Mr. Cull, who
was appointed the receiver of a brewery and other pro-
perty devised by the will of Mr. Deacon, and sulljnt
to certain charges. The late L •rd Chancellor hld laid
down a rule, on which lie always acted, that if a
case should be made out to the Comte by which it al--
peared that any great injury was likely to ensue from
the conduct of parties, the extraordinary powers of the
Court should be exercised for the purpose of restraining
the evil apprehended. The coEseqwnce was, that in
junctions were more frequently graved by his Lordship
than the other Judges in equity: He (Mr. Heald)
thought the practice a useful one, but it waioccasionally
subject to abuse; and Mr. Cull had sustained great in-
jury in his reputation by a statement in the public
newspapers 4 the grounds on which this injunction had
been granted against him, as they appeared' in the affiv
davits of the parties who had applied against him.—
He was now teady to rebut all those charges; and to
prove that they had been wrongfully brought against
him. Mr. Heald was procee.liag -visits his statement,
• • ,
when—

The LORD Clmscsuma said, he WAS obliges) to rise,
having to attend the Council at wh;ch the llecoidet's
Report was to be la;d before his Majesty. the fur-
ther argument of Counsel was postponed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 19.
BOURKE c. (anion,.

♦then this cause, which stood over from Wednesday last, to afford
time for Air. Gurney to see his client, the plaint:ft, upon the awes.
ties throitia out by the Court, that it would be better to end the
caw by a stet processus, was yesterday again called on.
.31r. Guys* said, my Lord, in this case your Lerd,bip recom-
mended a. Net imams, and the plaintiff is
.willing to adopt your
Lordship's suggestion; but he is particularly antiotis to be distinctly
relieved front the imputation endeavoured to be cast u; on hint of
'having written the letter, out of which these proceedings arose.—
Your Lordship, on the former day, was pleased to say rhat.no one
who saw the case could for a moment believe that ➢lr. Bourke ever
wrote that letter.
Lord Taansaorm—l did say so.
31r. Gummy—Then, my Lord; If the defendant will retract the
imputation which his publications were calculated to cast upon my
client, the plaintiff is ready to agree to a " stet protessos."
The Mitnurav thuntaar.--My Lord, on the part of the defend.
ant, I can have no hesitation in doing so, and in distinctly retracting
the slander passed upon the plaintiff, but not intentionally, by my
client, who could have no malice towards him ; indeed, at the trial,
although there were several pleas of justification, I felt satisfied that
none of them could be supported by evidence, and I therefore with-
drew them ; that was a retraction of the imputation against the
plaintiff at that time, and I have no grounds or disposition to repeat
any slander upon that Gentleman now, but on the cobtrary, to con-
firm the retraction then nude, which I do.

111 r Gnawer-11y client, then. agrees at once to the " stet pro.
eessua,"

l'artracias--Tbat is a proper end-of the ease.
MAT 29.--TAYLOR V.

—This was art action of assunipOt upon the charter-.
party cif affreightment of a vessel from Alexandria, tor
not fatting a proper.cargo .on board the weasel, ae-
, cording to the charter-party. The point at the t•ial
turned tipim the meaning of "'dales of cotton," the
ildefendant Contending that those words did not meals
compressed bales; but. the Jury being of a contrary-
, opinion, found a verdict for the plaintiff. A rule
for a new trial had been obtained, on the ground
that the plaintiff was precluded from relying upon the
general meaning of the word " bales," by the terms of,
the chatter-party, which stated it to mean " bags;" but
on :hewing cause against the rule, it appeared by the
affidavits lot the plaintiff, that the word "bag" was in.
troduced by the broker after the execution of the char•
ter-party, at the request of the defendant, without the
consent of the plaintiff, who remonstrated against it,
and said he should expect the contract to be fulfilled
according to the charter-party as it originally stood.
Lord TENTERDEN.—Ihe rule for a new trial must
be discharged.
