TUE STATESMAN

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-MAY 3.
IN THE MATTER OF LORI, PORTSMOUTH.

VAN V. CARL

The LORD CIIANCILLOR mentioned this case, saying
that he had seen the blaster about it this (meninx; and
from what passed between them on the subject, he (toe
Master) was induced to review his report. It was there-
iure unnecessary that it should be put in the paper for
Tuesday ; but shout ; any thing occur to render it ne-
cessary to mention it on that day, the gentlemen might
do so %about its being in the paper.

HIS LORDSHIP prouonnerdhia decision in this case,
observing that he by no means approved of Mr. Carr's
proe..eding as he had done: bait at the same time he did
not think that it warranted an application for his cow•
utitment. He therefore thought tue best ordtr he could
make was to dismiss the petition, but without costs.

INDISPOSITION or THE JUDGES.
%Ve regret to state, that for two dikes during the last
week, nut fewer than six of the twelve Judge; were
prevented by indisposition trout attending to their pub-
lic dutio. . .

Saturday eight were enable(' to reining their seats.—
Mr. Baron Ittenamos, Mr. Baron GARROW, Mr. Justice
Itlemaransos, and Mr. Justice BEST, ire, however, still
confined to their houses; and we sinCerely lament to ob.
serve, that the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas,
although anxious to give his attendance in Court, is by
no means in good health.
In consequence of the fit airy we have described, the
consideration of the Crown cases, reserved from the last
Circuits, which was appointed to Lave taken place on Ma.
ttirday, has been postponed to a future day. This has
pro laced no pnblic inconvenience, as the result of their
Lordships' deliberations could nut be made known till
the next Assizes.

COURT OF BF:SCH.—MAT 3.
The Lunt, Cm cif Jcwrice keying recovered from his
indisposition, resumed his sent on the bench. Mr. Jus
lice Best is still unebk to *pro in Court.
