LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST IS.
THE QUESS,BERRY LPGACIEs.
THOMAS v. MONTGOMERY.
CONWAY In EARL. OF YARMOUTH.
The LORD CHANcELLoR observed, Shill he had read
the Petitions in this case, and if he was furnished
with any proposition which the parties would wish
him to make an order on, he would give his judg-
ment to-morrow, as he thought be was in possession
Et- all the principal facts of the ease. He, however,
had some doubts whether the Master, in his report,
had paid sufficient attention to the b i.d for *50,000
which had been executed in the year 1816.
Sir SANNEL ROMILLY said, that that bond added to
the fund in Court, and w! ieli certainly was an induce-
ment to his Lordship to grant the motion made yes
terday by his Learned Friend, Sir Arthur Piggott.
ARTHLR PIGOoTT said, his motion was merely
that th:. le,!uttes should receive one fourth of their le-
pacies, or that so much stock might be sold as to pay
them per c. nt.
Mr. RAITILBEY, C wnsel for the Duke of Buccleugh
aLd the Eatl Wemyss, said, that he was instructed
t,y his Noble clients to consent to whatever order his
Lordship might think proper to make.
LORD CHANCELLOR—" I am happy that they appear
by Counsel, as I can go through my arduous task with
more confidence. In respect to the Master's report, as
is ;elates to the legatees of the second and third classes,
relltive to the dates, I shall take ,n oder nt it after
proceedines which have taken place in the Court
et Session in Scotland. It had been argued before both
Divisions of that Court, mid the Judges have &li-
vered their judgments at length, but the Sec.ind Divi-
sion had come to a different conclusion from the
Judges ot the Firs ; therefote, an appeal was brought
np to the 1-I,•use of Lords, and the difference of opi-
nion ot the two Scottish Courts was filly discussed,
and the direction of the House of INds was, that
b uh Divisions of the Court should meet in one cham-
ber and rehear the cause, and give their judgments
•collectively."
Sir ARTHUR Ptdcforr said, his Lordship had, on
a former occasion, made an ordt r that it should be
advertised that—" only t ose claimants who had
established their claims wcaild be attended to."
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" I iecollret I did do so,
but I was led into it by the difference of opinion of
the Judges of the Court of Seining): On the point you
aimed yesterd.y, Sir Arthur, alibi' satisfy you.sil
to-morrow morniag." . • •
AUGUST 14.
This morning the Loan CHANCELLOR was pleased
to order, that the Master should compute subsequent
interest bn the Legacies 'given by the Will of the
Duke of QUERNSDIERY ; and take an account of the
arrears due to such of the Annuitants as are now
living,
,and to the representatives of such of them
as are now dead, down to' the time of their respective
deaths, since the date of his report of the 23d day
of JUne, 1812, and add the same to the amount of
what he has reported to be due for principal and in-
terest of such Leg +cies and arrears of such Annuities,
by his said report: and that he (the Master) as-
certain the one-fourth part of what is due to such
Legatees and Avinuitants•respectively, on account of
soil; legacies and interest and arrears of 'annuities.
His Lordship was further pleased to order tkit the
Accountant-General should sell so chi at mu .,
41,187,591 ss. 7d. Bank S per Cent. Astnuitles,ap-
pearing by the Accountant General's certificate to be
standing in‘his name to the credit of the first-men-
tioned cause, as will be sufficient to raise what the
said Master shall find to be the amount of such one-
hurth part of the Legacies and Interest and arrears
of Annuities. The Master to ascertain the amount
of one.fourtb part of the remaining Annuities, and
to make a separate report or reports of the matters
:tferred to him. The amount of the fund now in
Court is £1,501,233 17s. sd. Bank Annuities; and
