Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood granted, yesterday, an injunction to

re- strain the Reverend Francis Morse from performing divine service in the church of St. Mary Shrewsbury, or from reading the Articles therein, or doing any act by virtue of his nomination to the office. Mr. Morse has been preferred, by the trustees, to Mr. Sandford, the son of a burgess of Shrewsbury ; and according to the statute regulating the presentation, the son of a burgess should, ereterisparibus be preferred. It was argued, that the words " carteris paribus" had a limited application ; that is to say, that the person to be appointed should be "a fit and proper person," and "duly qualified according to law." And the Court so held. The Vice-Chancellor expressly stated that the " sole" ground upon which he granted the injunc- tion was that Mr. Morse had not been appointed according to law.
