ROLLS' COURT—MONDAY.
DUNCAN V. M'CALMONT AND Co.--This-case was argued
n November last, and the facts were published at the time.
Lord Langdale stated that the object of the present appli-
:ation was to obtain an injunction to testrain Robert IV.I`Cal-

110 fit and others, comprising, the firm of M`Calmont Brothers
and Co., or Liverpool, merchants, and Thomas Benson and
William Chapman Benson, comprising the firm of Benson
nd Co., of Liverpool, from prosecuting a suit in the kligh
Admiralty, which they had instituted against the
owners of the freight, and also against those who had given
bonds for the value of their freight. Messrs. Benson were
the owners of the ship called the Lord Cochrane, which they
sent, under the command of Luke Hall Smith, to the Island
of Ascension, with government stores. From that place she
went, in ballast, to Pernambuco, where the master zap,. •

pended on the repairs, with commission. This bond was sent
to the firm of M`Calmont Brothers and Co., of Liverpool,
-d before the arrival of the ship they obtained a warrant of
under which the ship and cargo were seized ; a part of
freight was taken by the owners, who gave security in the
Admiralty Court for £7500, the amount of the freight, and
the arrest was superseded. Messrs. M`Calrnont and Co.
then proceeded to enforce the payment of the bottomry bond,
and to obtain the amount of the freight for which 5, ity

..le freight of other goods, in court, upon
,vnich the present bill was filed. His lordship then referred
to the arguments, and observed that, previous to the filing
the bill, nothing had been done to determine the right of the
parties. The proceedings in the Admiralty Court were not
so effective as they were in this court. The proceeding by
act upon petition was a summary proceeding, and sufficient
to answer the purpose in general, but it was not sufficient
for the investigation of more delicate questions. It was quite
sufficient for an application to the; court that the proceedings
in another court were not adapted to a case. The parties
were entitled to have the case investigated before they were
called upon to pay the amount of the bond, and since this
court had full jurisdiction, and the proceedings in the Court
of Admiralty could not so satisfactorily inquire into the facts,
the injunction must be granted. He should, however, call
upon the bail in the court to secure any sum of money that
might be found due from them in this court.
Mr: Petnberton acquiesced in this.

ARRIVED.—TO THE LADIES.
MRS. NICHOLAS GEARY, of 61, St. James's-street,
London, STAY AND CORSET MAKER to her
most Gracious Majesty the Queen, her Majesty the Queen
Dowager, her Majesty the Queen of Holland, and Royal
Family, has the honour to announce that she has arrived at
MRS. RILEY'S, 76, SEEL-STREET, seven doors from
Berry-street, where she will remain till Monday, the Ist
March, to suit Ladies with her celebrated newly-invented
ANATOMICAL, DRESS, &c., &c., STAYS, which by
the total rejection of all uneven pressure, may be worn by
the most delicate invalid, at the same time yielding a most
salutary support, snd producing a figure of such exquisite
symmetry, that, attempted by any other stay, would almost
amount to suffocation. To young ladies, and growing chil-
dren, this invention may be termed of vital importance, as it
is during the first thirty years of female existence that the
ordinary stay produces its fatal consequences, and engenders
in the system a variety of frightful diseases, ninety-seven of
which are quoted at length, with their authorities, in "De-
formities of the Chest and Spine," by W. Coulson, Esq.;
second edition.
