THE NORTHER); lIERRING FtsinNo.—A variety
of statements having

to prejudice the minds of speculators in the herring 6,llnry
against the coast between Dutinethead and Cape Wrath, by re
presenting the quantity of fish caught there as too incoodderab e to
be worth the Uvulae or anentior a fish and the quality so
inferior as to render them usisaleabk in the Dutch and Ilaniburgh
markets, it may be necessary tut the information of the public.
to state a few facts calculated to obviate the miscouceptions to
which these statements have give, rise. Herring, abound no
this pan of the coast erne), year from %lay to October. The
fish taken so early ai the month of May, however, are Nektons
of a good quail y, or such as ought to be sent to the market ;
although, we believe, a considerable number of barrels were in
the Hamburgb market in the beginning ut June last. Btu every
week in Jotie, and since. the qu .1 ty ut the bah improved ; aissl we
ate assured that It is now equal to that of any taken upon the %Vick
coast. And this h.dds to tea.on, because It is well Lawn that duo
lag the months ut June and July the herrings are so improved as
to be reedy for spawning in August and September, the very time
of the Wick fishery. One of the first people from the Smith
country who vetstareil to toy herring lashing nit the Wick coast was
Mr. Walter Banks from Fi.henow, who has regularly plyed it tali'
now. Since the latter end of May, however, be has fished off Monist.

June. In consequence of frequent north winos, yet with pram*.
worthy resolutiou, be continued to fish every night it was prudent
to do as; and we believe he has now no occasiots to regret his prise-
VtieDlN, for no the Wick coast little ur no fish have as yet been
taken, notwithstanding the boats have beer nut for more than ten
days past—whereas so the 30th of last month, the boats of Mr.
Banks had each from IN to TO traftell, and one bolt had upwards
of 30 cranes of fish of very superior quality. A good many boats
also continue to fisb west from Sandside Bay to Cape Wrath, and
all are getting more or ine—say several crann—which shows that
Ash of good quality may be taken there dating the months of June,
July, and August. the season beteg early enough to enable idlers
to ply their vocation both on this and the Wick coast. We state
then circumstances memo the setMrioy ut a correspondent, who is

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case,
which was an appeal from the decision of the present
Master of the Rolls, when Vice-Chancellor. The case
has been pending for many years, and has been several
times before Lord Eldon. The facts were shortly these
—ln the year 1754, an individual of the name of Brown,
with his wife, mortgaged a moiety of some premises of
which they were in possession, for 3001., to a Mr. Sewell,
and subsequently they mortgaged the other moiety for
4001. to Mr. Maseres. This property eventually came
into the possession of Mr. Sewell Mansell, who, in 1781,
conveyed it to a Mr. Jenkins, who was a solicitor, in
trust for the payment of his creditors, and it appeared
that Mr. Jenkins had paid the interest of the mortgages
to the year 1802, when he died. His representatives
were then anxious to pay off the mortgages, who, how-
ever, refused to accept the money, on the ground that
the equity of redemption did not exist in them. This bill
was consequently filed to compel them to accept the prin-
cipal and interest, and proceedings commenced to eject
the mortgagees, who were in possession of the premises.
The Lord Chancellor this morning expressed his decided
opinion that the deed of 1781 did not convey to Mr.
Jenkins the equity of redemption, and that consequently
that right could not descend to his heirs. His Lordship,
therefore, confirmed the decree of Sir John Leach.
In reply to a remark of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the
Court said that it imagined an injunction to restrain the
parties from proceeding with the ejectment would follow
as a matter of course, but it would take time to consider
that point, and mention it to-morrow morning.

The V t cE-Cii A x c EL Loa gave judgment in these bank-
rupt causes, which came before the Court on exceptions
to the Master's report. The bankrupts were interested in
some estates, and it was referred to the Master to ascer-
tain and report what interest each person possessed. The
Master had made his report, which report his Honour this
morning ordered to be confirmed.
