petition days, when the Registrar was present. If a
petition was peculiarly pressing, leave of the Court
might be asked for a particular day, and the Registrar
directed to attend. •

cluded in the list? and his Lordship answered in the
affirmative.

In this case the father of the plaintiff had, in a fit of I
displeasure, disinherited the plaintiff his daughter, and
bequeathed his estate to the two defendants, who bad
obtained administration and dispersed the property.
The testator between the time of making the will and
his death had been a lunatic. Proceedings. were insti-
tuted to set aside the will: the Court of Arches revoked
the letters of administration, and the Court of Chancery
ordered the proceeds of the estate to be paid into Court.
Mr. MLA 1.11 applied to have the time enlarged till the Term after
the nest, by which time the Court of pelegates would have pro-
tounced Upon the validity of the will.
Mr. &moan opposed the motion.
The VICE CHANCELLOR wall(' not enlarge the time,
but he required the plaintiffs to give their undertaking,
that they would do nothing in any way to postpone the
trial before the Delegates in next Term, at which time
the order stood good for paying the money into Court.

Mr. CAMPBELL moved for a rule to shew cans: why
The verdict given in this case for the plaintiff should not
be set asides or the damages reduced from 501. to
101. The cause was lately tried at Guildhall. It
was an action against the Sheriff of Gloucestershire,
to recover a sum of money levied by him under mini
facia: against a person named Moon. The sum levied'
was 1451. and the whole had been paid to the plaintiff
minus 501. which the Sheriff had paid to a person named
Tucker who claimed it, as rent due from Moon. The
question was whether the payment by the Sheriff to
Tucker was legal? The Learned Counsel stated the
terms of the agreement which had been made between
Moon and Tucker, and contended that the Sheriff had
aa right to pay over the 501. to Tucker.
The Court granted a Rule to shew cause.
