SAlll.l.lt V Loeb systkaoitobau.' • • Thi• rase came before the Court iu the shape br Petiliqo, hut in (Act it was a re-bearing of the cattse. Mr. BELL. Counsel for the Plointiff, stated, that this `Oa, a question which arose out of the construe - lion of the will of the late Sir George' Saville, who was the owner of Rafl'or.l Atihey, in the county of Nottingliain, and Saville house, in Leicester:. square. The testator, by his will, bequeathed los property to the second son of his sister, then Lilly • ticarhoroogh a with this proviso, that if lever he was to become Lord Scorborougli, by his elder bhithrr dying *without issue, that then the next youngest brother of his sister, Lady Scarborough, should take possession, 'so as the testator's prociiity should not be merged in the estate of the Scar. liorough t4mily. The testator vested his estate iu trustees, tor the payment of his debts, subject to annuity of 4001. per annum to the present Lord Scarborough, the *eroild son of the then Lady Scarborough, who had at that time taken the name of Leintle;., and that when the testator's debts should he reduced to SC,OOOI. that Mr. Lumley should be put in possession 4.f the resits and profits of the Mate. The testator also devised the family pictures fur the use or Mr. Lum ley. to go with his estates. The trustees under the will of the testator had the power of disposing of any part of the estates for the payment of his debts, reserving the remainder to the second son of his sister, who was not Lord Scarborough. Mr. Lumley came pos*essed of thb estates under the will of the testator, but by the death of his elder brother lie was created Lord Scarborough. The present Plaintiff , his brother, entitled it; succession to the estate of the leitator, filed lois bill against the Defendant to recover the personal property hr received under the will of the testator, when isiue was joined in that cause. The Court decreed that the family pictures were heir-looms, but that the other personal property was not. The present Petition prayed that the Court would re vise its judgment. The Learned Counsel con tended. that it was the intentiod of the testator that all his !plate, furniture. &c. were to go down to the next possessor merely for his use while in posses sion, and then to he handed over to the next heir. If the pictures were considered by the Court as heir-looms, he was at a loss to know why ;he other personal property should not be considered in the same light. If the testator dirt not mean to have his paintings floating through the world, and ex hibited in broker's shops. it was not natural to sup• pose he would wish his plate, &c. to be put in that situation. Under these considerations, he had no doubt belt ins Honour would Mr. Peres followed on the same side. Sir A. PIGGOTT. Counsel for the Noble Deferi drat, contended that the first heir coming into possession under the testator's will, bad a right to sweep away all the personal property. It was not to be 'opposed that he should afterwards have to account for every horse that died. or every crock of pickles or preserves that had been' used by him while in possession. His client admitted that the paintings were heir-looms, but denied that any other part of the personal property was intended to be such by the testator. He therefore had no doubt but his Honour would dismiss the Petition with costs. Mr. HEALD followed oo the same side. Mr. BELL replied. The MASTER of the Roffs observed, that he looked at the will of the testator in the tame way that a Court of Equity always ought, to see whe ther the testator knew what he was doing when be made it. He saw no reason to make him believe that the testator was not aware of what the effects of his will would be. Theo it was only for lino to construe it according to the words of the will, and his cntiotruenoo was, that the testator only meant the family paintings to go down as htir•looms, and that the remainder was to be considered merely as personal property. This was his opinion at present : however he would ►eat over the pleadings in the bause, and if he found any thing to alter his °pi. Mem, lie would mention it on a future day. 00VET OF KINGS BENCH, t 1. envixsTrit, AILlt 7. Sittings after Trinity Term. before Chief Jiieice ABBOTT 111111 d Commas Juries. WF.STININSTEK ELECTION. .11 1 :WELL V. CROWDEN AND WILcHAW. Mr. ESPINASSX opened the pleadings. Tht de claration set forth, that, on the 3 , 1 of March. 1919, a number of persons riotously and tumultuously assembled in the parish of St. Paul's, Cotent-gar den. and, being so assembled together. assailed the house of the Plaintiff. which they injured end damaged, by throwing atones at the windows ' donra. ace. Th e ac ti o n Was brought a g a i n st th e Dern,. dents as inhabitants of the hundred of Omni ston. in which the city of Westminster is situated, to recover compensation in damages for the injury sustained. The Defendants pleaded that they were not liable. Mr. SCARLETT Stettd, that the present action was brought under the statute of the 57th of his Majesty, which was passed for the purpose of ren. dering more effectual several former statutes, by which the inhabitants of every hundred, where any riotous or tumultuous assemblage of persons pro. teedell to commit act' of violence, mid damaged the property of any individual, were made liable for the injuty so suetitmed from their illegal conduct. The principle of the law was me ancient as the time of king A lfred ; and bad, at later periods, found its way lido different Acts of Parliament. but it tees only necessary for him to trouble the Jury with the later statutes. By the 57th of Gen. 111. cap. lg, it was enacted, that, '• in any case where any houses, shops, ur buildings whatsoever, or any part thereof, shall be devtroyed, or in any wanner damaged or injured, or 6141 furniture. googly, or commoditills therein. be injured. destroyed, demoted. or taken ■way. by any riotous or tumultuous assemblage of person', the inhabitant, of the city. lowa, or the inhabitants of the • of riotous and tumultuous assettiltlim." 11 •la tsd the Ia r milli*.

The fitautilace took an octave pert in favour of the latter—and, whe n th e y r ou nd the: he eras not likely•to suCceed, they had Teems's.. to acts of violence. Ile said the populace of West, minster ; for it could not be voirposed that any of the resper3shle inhabitants of Westntinster "mold countenance tumult and violvcce. The h , hav ing no property theinteltes, were, its general, very indifferent as to the mischief they did' to the prope r ly of others . . The respectable inhabitants could nut be identified with those riotous acts, fur w bitterer might he their politics, lie was sure they would con duct themselves peaceably. ,'The rabble, who might at soil; time be lured fdr half-a-crown te.lwairl, en raged that the pupolaridaudithate laid been thrown out, determined to Sedge themselves on the frieiliti oldie other party. It was customary for the suc eesaful candidate so Ise chaired ; which err. moue was usualinsei formed w 11'ewlmtniter old' a veal deal of decorum. Preparations were wad,. iu the usual way, for chairing Mr. Isaiah, arid several opectable friends aiseriibled to coliduet hint through the streets. lis the course of the snormog, how; ever, the mob, discoutented at the defeat of their favourite, and angry *het . he was not to be chaired, asseinbled, and determined to inter rupt the adherents of 111 x. Lamb. The row, stables said 'serious its authority endeavoured to preserve the peaces awl in the effort they were **rioted by the friends of Mr.. Lamb. Many gen tlemen, who Were friendly to Mr. Lamb, assembled tame the hosti n g., in the. hope of keeping the mob tiff; but all their exertions failed, for it appeared to be the settled determinetion of the rabble to commit vio l en c e . It was soul, in former that, at an Irish election, the unsisccessful can didate was always chaired, and the successfel condidate was obliged to fly fur his life. The Westminster election terminated in nearly a slim ler way. The Learned Counsel did inn exactly know whether MG ilutiltouse was chaired—hut it wail most certain that Mr. Lamb was obliged to fly for his life. Mr. Jewell, the PlB4lllo*, was owner of a house in Henrietta-.treat, where Mr. Latisli'a central Committee held their ineresigs. To dila house there was a back passage, through Coven:- garden church-yard, from the hiestitigs. When the conduct of the mob became slinigerously Mr. Lamb found it necessary to retreat rrOtit the hustings by this back passage. When the populace found that he had escaped, they aiseintoled readout Mr. Jewell'. house. They broke his wiaoduii.-: attempted to destroy his doori-:-and endrieV;,ined to tear up the iroii rails for the purpose of using them as instruments of offence. They were idit dispersed Mild a detachisesit of the horse guardi arrived and deterred theta from further violence: The Jury would, however, hear, that, isi the coarse of the evening, the mob pursued a similar Ike of conduct; and attacked Iseenti other houses. A well-organised mob (he regretted, for the sake of public justice, that the leader was not kttowii) assailed the residences of several or filr: Lamb's friends. About *mu o'clock its the eieuing they returned to the charge et Mr. Jewell's house—but the constables having mustered in great force, farther misthief tkr* prevented. The danisge done amounted to 441. 4.. ed. which he would - prove by the different ,sersons employed to repair the isijury. The Defendants were nominelle so, and, thould a verdict be found for the Plaintiff, the damages would be assessed on the hundred. S. Lee, one of the tax.collectois of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, prated, that, on the 3d of March, 1319, the Plaintiff was an inhabitant of that parish, paying bilges. Burton, one of the tinder-Sheriff. of the Cottony of Middleset, proved that Westrdinstre was in the hundred of O.aulaton. Dixon Hohhe was acquainted with the Plait!lift; who was it carver and gilder. residing it Hewlett*. street. 'Covent-garden. Lamb's centrist Cont. muter was held at his houses Witness attetute►l at the whole of the lest election, end recollected all the occurrences that took place on the 3d of Maier.. when the election terminated.

The mob cried out, " Ilobliouse fur ever ! Down with Lamb !" They Ittuse to force open the doors, and exclaimed a him, we'll have hitu out !" meaning Mr. Lamb. Had it not been for the arrival of the horse guards, much more mischief would have been done. Witness was alarmed, and suited himself in his own defence. Robert Johnson corrobo►ated thin evidence, and spoke also to the attack in the evening. J. J. Scholes. the assistant to Mr. Ireland, who inspected the premises after the attack. proved the amount of the damage. Mr. GAZELES; for the Defendants. stated, that. unless the damage complained of were sustained, in consequence of an attempt made by a tumultuous assembly to pull down the house or tenement, the pemou who 'uttered the loss could not recover under the 37th of Ibe Ki ng. In the instance, the Learbed Comae, contended air proof was given of such an intention. 'llse mob appeared enamors Merely to came in contact with Mr. Lamb.
