LAW AEPORT. The LonD CHANCELLORt expressed his opinion that the bill in this case did contain certain imnpertinent matter; and ordered that part to be struck out. AlMr. HART said he did not know howv much of it wat Impertinent. He had not been much accustomied to deal with bills containing im. pertinent matter. Thie LonR CHANCEEtLOR.-FOr my part, I have had more im- pertinence of all kinds of late than I ever had in-the rest of - my life together. IN TBE MATTER OF SAUJMAEZ. Air. HEALD reminded the Lord Chanc4llor of the order he had made in this case, directing the Alaster to Inquire whether it would be for the intetest of the lunatic that proceedidgs should be institut- ed in the ecclesiastical courts to set aside his marriage. He was in. structed to state, that the lunatic's estate would not bear the exnen6e of such proceedings, but that the father was willing to detray it out of his own pocket. He wished to have the perluission of the Court to do so, and that it should be incorporated in the order of reference. He was also anxious to have the opinion of his Lordship upon the validity of the marriage. The LoRD CHANCELLOR had no difficalty as to the law upon that subject; and hal no objection to granting the order applied for, provided the lunatic's estate should be protected from the expense; ibr the lundtie would not be much the better of getting rid of the marriage, if he were also to lose hlis property. Mr. HEALD said, that if the proceeding,s di not take place, tle hlnatic could not get rid of the wife; and if he ever recovered, and found himself still linked to such a woman, that idea alone would be sufficient to drive him mad again. The LORD CHANCELLOR granted the application, and promised to give his opinion on the marriage on Tuesday. COURT OF CHANCEIRY. FRIDAY. TtTAY 1. AtInTtVY V. AqPIlAL.
