The objections to, et the evils arising from the plan were noise, none at {mat that his Lordship heard of. The Bishop remarks " that their hav ing, or not having the land, might make the difference of their being on the Puor's Rates or sot—That it gave to the Pour a belittle of independence and a respect for themselves, the annihilation of which qualities, is one of the greatest misfortunes which this country experiences. After baring suggested that he (his Lordship) has famished these parti culsn from the hope that this Society's remmuseadation may induce others to follow the example, the worthy Pre late cowhides with the following judicious observation : " There are no means that 1 know of by which the Gen try and Clergy ran more essentially benefit the Pour Cul. lager with a Family, than by letting to him a small portion of Land for cultivation?'

Mr. TAUNTI)N opened the pleadiogs. Mr. Jirairts stated, that this was an action brought by the Corporation of Windsor, to recover certain rents from the Defendant as the occupier of ground IX which the Corporation claimed the property. The action was of considerable import ance to the Corporation, although the into in di.- poste was trifling; pert of their revenues were de rived frotn properly of a similar krnvl, and there fore an ecquiescence in the resistance of the Dr. reorient would have subjected them to other ag gressions. lie should be able to mute the existence of a contract between the Plaintiff: and Defreolase. which would supersede the necessary Or going into detail as to the tole of the Corporation.

Of these they h a ft Tong been in the practice of granting areas and other en closures to individuals. for winch they received a rent, and sometimes granted the seine upon lease. The Learned Counsel then detailed the facts of the case. am subsequently gives. in evidence; awl con cludett by stating to the Jury, that if the Corpora tion hail abandoired their right in the present in stance, they would have improperly surreudered the property, of whir Is they were the trustee.. - - Mr. James Egelstone. sworn. In answer to a question from Mr. Daunney, Counsel fur the Defendant. he boated, that he had resigned his situation as a Member of the Carlow*. lion. The examination then proceeded. The offices which he and held in the Curpotation were those of Alderman end Chamberlain. Recollected %Visite applying, in 1813..f0r liberty to build upon a •mall piece of ground, so that be might bring his forward at one end; these tenements were situated in Sheet-street, Windsor. This permission was granted. In the following year the Defendant again applied, to be allowed to make an enclosure in the front of hi. new tenements, so that he might dig for the admission of light min their cellars, and also to erect palisades in the front. The Defendant was told that he would be expected to pay an annual rent, to which be answered, that he knew it was ens tomer), ; no sum was mentioned, but it was under stood that it was to be a reasonable rent. The Cor po►ation have on former occasions given the same li berty upon the like conditions. The Defendant, upon this understanding, erected palisades, and dug areas. ‘Vitness, as Chamberlain, demanded payment of the rent. which had been fixed at a corporate meeting, viz. 20s. per annum, for the four tenements. White complained that the rent was too high, and request ed witness to bring forward the subject for re-coo. sideration of the Corporation. In the first instance the original rent was confirmed; but at a subsequent turtling in 1818, it was decided that the resit should be reduced to Ins. per annum, provided the De.. fendant would pay up all arrears. and give no fur ther trouble. Application was again made to him. and this decision stated ; but, on the witness pro. (tuning a receipt which he put in Defendant's hand, Defendant read it over, threw it on the table, and walked out of the room. He has since refused to pay any thing. which has given rise to the present action. 111 his ernes-examination by Mr. DAUNCEY, witness stated, that the improvements made by the Defendant consisted in pulling down some old pre miers, and erecting in the place of them four new and very respectable tenements. Mr. DAUNCEY commenced his reply, by Ibsen. ing that the li..bility of *he Defendant would, in the first instance, depend upon the right of the Cor poration to make the deitiaitil.--IThe Judge here interposed, stating that the right could not now be questioned, as the Defendant had admitted it by his siegociation for terms.] —Mr. I)auscr:e pro ceeded to acknowledge that in cases where 'Limes commence a contract, it was the law that at it.) of ter-.rage of proceeding al Id there be liberty to dispute a title. He contended that in the present case, there was a communication but no agree ment ; there was a taking of the premises, but do agreement fur the terms of that taking. Ilow far the Pl* tiffs could recover without such a ilistii.ct uuderstanding was for the Jury to determine. lie insisilained that as no agreetne sit existed the Corp°. ration It al no right to recover at all ; and were he compelled to adan:e that they had a fight, to that the improvements made by the Defetitiatit for the public convenience would be a sufficitot coma. dersittoii. If by possibility the Learned Judge should be of opinion that the Corporation could re cover. there would be no quesiiiiii as to the amount of animal rent which they, the Jury, would give, inasmuch as the Plaintiffs had pronounced judg uncut fur themselves, by agreeing to accept Ink— The Learned Counsel concluded with souse hu morous remarks on the nature mid applic -lion of Corporation revenues ; trusting that lime Jury would resist the attempt to hoiden a piece of with ss ground with a heavy tent, Lr the maintenance of official gaud-living. Sir Vert. CARROW sainmell up. lie alluded to the ingenuity 'lithe Learned Comisel who had last spokes, but maintained that there was no defence against the action. The Defendant had beets ill advised ; and he thought the Corporation had met with an tuadequate return for conduct distinguished for fairness awl liberality. It was rottculous to contend that Ito contract had existed ; the De fendaut had derived great advantages to his pro perty by the accommodation afforded him, anal by using toe thing fur which he kid promised a corn peireatuni, had ruttied into a bindlog contract. With regard to the annual rent which he ought to pay, it was riot law that the Corporation could only el, ttttt the lesser nom ; the Defendant had not ac ceded to the terms etwiti which they agreed to uc. crpt it.
