In the Court of Chancery, on Monday, the cause of

Page versus Broom was called on ; but Sir Edward Sugden, who was to lead, being detained from court by temporary indisposition, the Lord Chancellor, after some remonstrance from the junior counsel, and after waiting a short time, ordered it to be struck off the list. On Tuesday, Sir Ed- ward Sugden was in attendanee' and applied for its reinsertion ; and the following dialogue ensued between Sir Edward and the Chan- cellor—.

Sir Edward said, that hitherto every Judge before whom he had had the honour to appear, had, as a matter of courtesy to counsel, when they were pre- vented attending through illness, as he was yesterday, allowed the cases in which they were engaged to stand over.

The Lord Chancellor—" I waited a conaiderable time, and no one appeared. 'then ordered it to be struck out, and I shall in all such cases act in the same way. It ought also to be recollected, that if the custom which was alluded to always prevailed, then the indisposition of a single counsel might effectually stop the entire business of the court."

Sir Edward Sugden—" Hitherto, my Lord, I repeat, it has been allowed by every Judge who has presided in this court ; and if your Lordship is determined i not to allow this particular case to be reinstated n the paper, the greatest in- convenience must necessarily follow. It is known that the arguments will occupy at least two days; and the Bar haviag made that calculation, will not be prepared to go on with any other case." Mr. Cooper—" I am in two important cases as juuior ; and I feel assured, that tithe case of Page r. Brat/Ill ig not gone into, that my leaders will find it im- possible to be here; and if they should be absent, whatever may be the conse- quences, I will on no consideration take upon myself the conduct of them."

A discussion of considerable length, in which several gentlemen of the bar took part, and which excited very great interest among every class of the profession, etwtied ; which ended by the Lord Chancellor allowing the cause in qpestion to be again placed on the paper, ob arcing at the same time, that, in future, let the consequence be what- ever it might, if counsel were not in attendance when a cause was called on, he would order it to be struck out, and listen to no applica- tion for replacing it.

The Vice-Chancellor was occupied on Tuesday in hearing the peti- tion of Mr. Bingham, surviving partner of the firm of Burgham and Hummel, tailors in Clifford Street, Bond Street, for leave to bring an saion against die executors of the late Captain Nisbett of the Life Guards, for clothes, arid money lent to the Captain to the amount of 421/. It appeared that Mr. Burgbarn's account with Captain Nisbett vas opened when the latter was only eighteen. Some of the charger in it were the following.

The petition was dismissed with costs ; the Vice-Chancellor saying, Every person flutist he struck at thie frightfully extravagant and ruinous att of debt against a spendthrift young man. When an opportunity is given litridesnien who are unprincipled enough to enter into such transactions with loft men, the honest customer who will pay is defrauded by the advance of /we to make up the losses oocasioned by such speculation..

,Mr. Pollock showed cause, on Monday, in the Court of King's De.:.1ch, against a rule for a criminal information which had been ob- 114ed by Mr. Rigby Wason, Al. P. against the proprietor-of the Liver- pool Standard, for a 1,i4e1. fie moved that the rule be tu-chargeu, &AI the ground of informality. It appeared that the paper was entered at the Stamp-office as about to be printed in Union Court, Castle Street, Liverpool • whereas the Liverpool Standard leas actually published in Union Buildings, John Street, Liverpool. There was nothing there- fore to connect the proprietor of the Liverpool Standard with the paper against which the rule had been obtained.

On the other side, Sir James Scarlett contended that the rule should be enlarged, in order that the affidavits might be amended.

The act of Parliament, 38 George III., under which the certificate was re- quired, was made for the purpose of compelling printers to put the real address at which the printing took place ; and it was not for a defendant to come forward to claim the benefit of his own violation of that act of Parliament.

Mr. Kelly, for the defendant, submitted that the prosecutor should have com- pared the certificate with the address at the foot of the paper in which the pub- lications appeared. Lord Denman—" The Court are of opinion that this rule must he discharged. The act of Parliament pointed out to a prosecutor a much easier course, in case of a violation of its provisions, than that sought for by the enlargement of the present rule. In cases of criminal information, where the summary interference of the Court was required, it was essential that prosecutors should come into court prepared with the whole of their grounds of motion, and with all necessary evidence in support of them."

On Wednesday, Mr. Justice Littledale sat in the Bail Court, and Sir John Campbell moved for a rule to show cause why the Magis- trates of the county of Stafford should not allow the rate-payers of the county to inspect certain documents relative to the expenditure of the public money. The Magistrates refused to allow the inspection of the accounts, and permitted the rate-payers to see the orders and rates only. After a good deal of discussion, the Judge, apparently with great re- luctance, granted the rule.

The present Term has produced a great addition of business to the Court of Exchequer, and a proportionate falling off in the King's Bench ; while the opening of the Court of Common Pleas to the whole Bar has occasioned no more in the latter, which remains in its usual quiescent state as to business.—Herald.
