L4W INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF'CHANCERT.

BIRD V. COODBEHRM
•
Mr. Owen, on the part of the Defendant; moved, '
that the bill and demurrer in this case should he
taken off the files of the Court, and that the Plaintiff
should pay the costs, as between attorney and client,
upon the grounds, that the bill had been 'Ogee(' in
the name of a Gentleman at the Bar (Mr. fal ker),
without his knowledge, privieywontimusent. Ile was
proceeding to state the merits of the case, when
Mr. HART, for the Plaintiff, stated, that his client
had had no opportunity of answering the affidavits on
which this motion was grounded, and he therefore
hoped his Lordship would allow it to stand over ror
that purpose ; at the same time he expressed a hope,
that from motives of delicacy to the parties concern-
, ed, Mr. Owen would not feel it necessary to men—
; tion names.
Mr. 0 wtx acquiesced in the propriety of the last
observation of Mr. Dart, and declared he should so
abstain from stating names; but-hoped his Lordship
would hear the case de bene este; the Plaintiff under-
taking to file ailidavits forthwith. lie then stated,
that from some circumstances he had suspected the .
bill had not been signed by hin:,Parker, and accord-
ingly had asked. him the question ; to which he re-
plied, he had not signed the bill, nor did he know
'any thin g of the parties. •
Mr: PARKER confirmed this statement, declaring !
I he did not even know the Barrister nho had used his
I name, or any thine of the cause itself.
Thelon!) CHANCELLOR said, that for the forty
years during which he had been at the Bar, this was
the first time he had ever heard of such a practice,
and hoped it would be the last, as he thought it
highly improper.
Sir SAAWEL It(isiimx, Mr. RICHARDS, Mr. Bntr.,
Mr. COOKE, and other Gentlemen of the Bar, de-
clared it to be the common practice, within their
i knowledge, for many years; they had frequently
done it in answers, particularly in amicable or family
suits, where bills were filed for the purpose of ob-
taining the opinion of the court ; in which cases the
same Counsel drew the different answers, and stib
scribed the names of some 9f their brethren at (he Bar
to them, which was done with a view to save the ea-
pence that must have otherwise been incurred. The
same practice, however, (lid not apply to the bills.
Mr. HART then stated, that a case with the neces-
sary instructions had been laid before the Gentleman
who prepared the bill, and when he had signed it
with the name of Mr. Parker, the Plaintiff's soli-
citor asked him the reason, having signed other
pleadings in the cease in his own name. 'Tads Gen-
tleman was under very embarrasibtl circumstances
aid in confinement, and stated, that he did it from
personal motives to himself, as the Attorney on the
other side was employed in making an arrangement
with owe of his creditors, and it might be prejudicial',
to him to appear in an adverse suit against him. The
Solicitor understanding that he did it with the con-
currence of Mr. Parker, made no hesitation in filing
the bill, to which the D. fondant had demurred. lie
therefore hoped, his Lordship would think that if
any of tl party were to blame, it was the Counsel
who signed the bill, and that neither the solicitor
nor his client were in fault, aud. aught not to be
compelled to pay the costs.
The Plaintiff (Bird) then addressed his Lordship,
stating, that his was a case of great hardship ; he,
with some others, had given security to the Sheriff
for a Sheriff's officer of the name of Drake, who
having suffered a person to escape out of custody,
and being unable to pay the debt, proceedings were
had against his sureties, who paid it, although the
Under-Sheriff denied the fact, for which he had in-
stituted a prosecution for perjury against him.
Mr. OWEN interfered, and requested to be heard
upon the merits—but
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should always
hear what a Plaintiff had to ray. His Lordship de-
precated the practice alluded to, as highly improper
in any case; he had never heard of it before, and
hoped he should never hear of it again. In the mean
time he deferred the decision of the matter until the
affidavits should be filed.

LUCIENA AND ANOTHER D. RAEY AND OTHERS.

Mr. RUSSELL applied, on the part of the Plaintiffs
in this cause, for a commission de bene cue, to the
island of Tessera, to examine witnesses, for shish
purpose the Bill had been filed. He stated, that
the Prince Regent of Portugal, having occasion for
a loan of a considerable sum of money, had autho-
rised his accredited agent in this country to negotiate
for such loan. The Plaintiffs were considerable
merchants in this city, and had agreed to advance
the loan upon 6rtaiii conditions, namely, that the
interest should be paid monthly, a part.iu London,
and the other part in the, island t'f Tessera ; 1000.
was to be paid monthly at the Royal Exchange, and
the sum of 4411 dollars to be paid out of the Prince
I Regent's revenues in Tessera, by
.the Prince Ras-'
Government, in order to check the escape of 1
gent's agent, then to the Plaintiff's agent. A bead'.
