Ile, the Learned Counsel, did not think it nerve vary to occupy the tune of the Court by stating the petition et leogth, us th- circumstances of the case were already known to his Honour. After a re ceiver to the estates had been appointed by the Court, it was relit to the Muster to inquire and report whether the triplets had the power of grant ers.; Nests; and the Master reported, that in the will of the noble testator, there were ,Rectal provi sions fur. granting leaser, Auld recommended that two leases should be grunted by the trusters, one for the estate appertei 0000 ig to Merton College, and the other to the estate adjoining Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He was ut a loss to kosow what objection could be taken to a reference to the Master, on wind, account he would refrain front making coy further observations uutil he heard the ground it was opposed on. Mr. HART URI lie appeared as counsel for the Defendaut, Mr. Blackstone. and he was instructed to support the prayer of the petittun. Mr. WZTHE'RELL stated, that be was counsel for Susie, the present Duchess of Nlariburrough, mid hr was instructed to consent to any order his Houour might please to make. Mr. BELL said, he was counsel for the Noble Defectlatit, the Duke Of Mao ilioroitigli, lie could not perceive what use the reference to the Master could be, or that benefit could be obtained from it. His Noble client resisted any abatement of the rents being atade, on the ground that if the presets'. tenants refused to pay the advanced rents, other tenants might be procured who would be happy to pay them. Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT that the late Duke, before his decease, had abated some of the rents of the tenatits, end the question now VINIS, whether the Nlaster should inquire whether tire abatements lie had made were proper. If it was sent to the Mas ter, the Noble Delendwa would have the opportu nity of shell/nig before bite whether the abatements were, or weir not, beneficial to the ratters. Ile was at a loo• to see. nifiler throe circumstances, why the reference to the Master should be resisted.

Mr. BELL—•' With all deference to your Ho noises opinion, I much doubt it." Sir ARTHUR PIGUOTT—" There can be no doubt wlien the testator vested the trotters with the estates for three hundred years, and appointed the spe cific duties they bid to perform. He could not, therefore, have intended that they should nut have the power of granting leases." Mr. BBLL raid, that it would be considered that . the receipts of the estote were ustich more than sufficient to pay what the trustees were hound to, do, and the tenant for life being entitled to tins residue, it was his right to resist oily abatement, Mr. HART" The trustees are hound by the decree of the Court to protect the estates, told they would be acting coutratry to their duty, if they were to permit good tenants to he lost fur the want of a reasonable abatement in their rent., fur the purpose of taking . experintental tenants; therefore it was necessary that it should be sent to the Master. If the Noble Defendant could "hew before the Muster that he could procure ut:exceptionable tenants, who would give the full rein', the Master, of course, would attend to it, and repot, ucconditigly." Sir A al Unit Ptoriorr sold, the Defendant, Black stone, our of the trustees, acted as tte«ivrr of the ...States before the Court hod appointed its own.
