The testator directed that his bequest should be &tided two three parts—one-third for the benefit of the Corporation of the town—one-third for keeping the cluireb in repair, and one-third for the relief of the poor of the town. It appeared, however, for the last tweiiiy.four years, that the one-third for the repairs of the church, and that for the relief of the poor, hail not been applied for that purpose, but that the Corporation had made use 01 the 10101 for hoilding a town hall.

The petition stated, that the late Duke of ,Marlborough vested certain estates in trustees fur three hundred years, to pay off his debt, aw l certain legacies. A decree of the Court W , II made on the eth of Almost in the present year, bending it to the Master to inquire and report what were the encumbrances ou the trust estates. The Petitioner, amongst other creditors, laid Ihs claim before the Master. it arose as follows: Lord Clifden, in the year 1802, entered into an agreement with the late Duke of Marlborough, hi. purchase from him the iloldeidiey estate, for 70,000/., which the Doke rereseineol to he exempt from the paymetit of tithes, except 301. per amount to the Rector; all other tidies lie undertook to guarantee the Petitioner from, and for that put. pose the Iste Duke rested the Steeple Barton estate, in the year 1803, in M►. Blackstone, as the trustee of the Petitioner, to answer all demands that might be made on the Holdenbey estate for tithes. When the fluldenbey estate was co,evet•ed. Mr. Bellise was the Rector, and during ids time he never demanded inure than the on/. per annum ; lie died in ;80p, and the Rev. Crawley, after his decease. became the Rector, and claimed the tither. The Petitioner basing taken the opinion of Counsel, lie was advised lie could nut oppose the cluing. The question was then left to arbitrators, mud they awarded, in die year 1212, that the Petitioner should pay Dr. Crawley 1,8001. for arrears of tithes, and 7001. per minutia afterwards, in lieu of tithes. This was all done wills the knowledge of the late Duke, and so .risible was he of the propriety of at. that he made a re duction in his (CIAO to the tenaids of 650/. a year for seven years, to ramble them to pay the tithes, which would expire in the year 1820. He, the Learned Counsel, supposed it would he contended on the other side, that as the Petitioner had accept ed of the Steeple Harting estate no an iudein nity, he load 110 right to claim under the trust estates fur three hundred years as a creditor.— The Steeple Bartou estate did not let for inure t 11.1.1 4001. per annum. It could not have been the oil tention of the lute Duke that this estate was to be the only indemnity to the Petitioner against the tidies, for if it was, he never would have enabled his tenants to !my the 650/. The Petitioner was so secured for three years longer, but aloe. the year 1820, lie would only be left the Steeple Barton estate ; he therefore contended that the assets of the trust estates were liable to the Petitioner, as an indemnification against the tithes of the Huh. denhey estate. Sir A. Picuovr, Counsel for the Plaintiffs, the trustees, stated, that they wept bound too Justice to the other creditors of the estates in trust, fur the 300 years, to oppose the Petition. He contended that Lord Clifden had only his remedy, or the weans of relief, in the Steeple Barton estate, mid had no right to claim as a creditor under the trust estates. Mr. S IIADWELL followed the same bide. tm Mr. BELL, Counsel for the Defendant, opposed the Petition on the same ground as Sir ArtlttL Piggott. Mr. HART appeared as Counsel for Mr. Black stone, who disclaimed having imp interest whatever in the application. Mr. WETHERELL staid he appeared for SHUN Duchess of Marlborough, and she was ready to submit to soy order the Court might please to make. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—" The Master err taitily is wrong in his report. for he reports that the rents au.. profits of the Steeple Barton estate are only liable where the fee of the estate is cer tainly liable. Let it be referred back to review his report, with liberty to Lord Clifden to amend his claim before the !Waster." Prayer of the Petition granted in part.
