Sir NICOLAS CONYNGHAM TINDAL, Knt., Solicitor-General. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, Knt., Attorney-General. MEMORANDUM. THE point raised by the plea in Bozon v. Williams, reported page 475, was again brought before the Court on the 22nd June, 1829, on demurrer, in a cause, Jones v. Yates. Bozon v. Williams, and the cases there referred to, and also a case in which a demurrer had been allowed by the Vice-Chancellor, were cited. The Lord Chief Baron expressed his intention, before he decided the case, to confer with the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancellor on the subject. On the 1st July following, his Lordship stated, that he had consulted both those learned Judges, and that, on their joint opinion, supported by his own view of the case, he should overrule the demurrer, but, in consequence of the previous decisions, without costs. The Lord Chief Baron also observed, that, if the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancellor continued of the opinion then entertained by them, the rule would, for the future, be different in the Court of Chancery. THE decree in Spong v. Spong, Vol. 1, page 300, was reversed on appeal to the House of Lords. |
