PHILLIPS. This was an action brought to recover the pos session of a farm at Wrettou, iu the Isle of granted by the late Sir Edward Niglitigsle, un der a power of leasing. contained in her Mari Inge tettletueot. which was in the usual tri.ns, that he should reserve the best improveable rent% which Lady Nightingale thought was not etlected. Thu cause was deemed of serious importance, inasmuch is it waist, in a great measure, to prove or refute the validity of leases under such and annular cur- CUMbtanCel. It was clearly shewu, on the part of the Plaintiff; that Sir Edward Nightiogsle had let this Erna, consisting of 7no acres, Nu only of which were arable, to a Mr. Wallace, ins steward, at 2401. per annum, who was previon-ly offered 2,01. he, himself, then lowing asked 3001. fur it, on the part of Sir Edward, and it had lieu deemed worth 3301. and even 3301. In the year 1794, Sir Edward, then Mr. Nightingale, gave /ciliate a lease of this farm for :al years, at what war believed the low rent of 2401. and under such covenants as the Plaintiff deemed inatlmirsible by law, they being contrary to the customs of the country; mud us to the rent, Lady Nightingale's innrriage-settle meut declared, that the estate in question should be let for the best improreable rent. The covenants of which the Plaintiff complained, permitted the tenant to take off the arable laud three crops of grain without a Fallow ; and, moreover, gave him the liberty to break up all the pasture land for tbe.tirst 19 years, provided such land was laid down again at that period, so that there would be then the original quantity of gram-land for the in.com ing tenant. Added to these circumstances. Wal lace was allowed to sell MY the premises VI loads • Of hay, and five acres of turnips. every year. except during the lest three years. As a proof, on the part of the Plaintiff, of the injury she had received, and continued to receive. since the demise of her hus band, iu 1804. it was mated, that soon after Wal lace obtained his lease, he went to market with it, and asked t6ool. upon its security, so good a one was it cenaidered ; and certain it was, that Wallace did let off a part of the farm-horse, mid a huudred and twenty acres of lend, for 1001. a year ; this under-tenant, however, agreeing to pay him 3001. down, (three years mut) ; and after wards, in 1797, Wallace let more of the grass land, at 4181. making a total of 5381. of that meat patio:), for which he gave only 2401. besides re tainting some in his own possession. But, said the Learned Counsel, this is only the beginning of this piece, the second act is still to come. In 1799, Wallace became insol vent, and Sir Edward Nightin gale, who was bound for him to the amount of 14001. gave his consent, that the remainder of the lease of the whole farm should be transferred to the Defendant, Phillip., who had demands oti Wallace, and who agreed to give 4001. a-year for it, on the coodition that his covenants should be the same, and that he might have the liberty of giving it up vAeaeeer he liked. Therefore, he might crup the land iu that unusual incliner, as long as he pleased; and break up and crop all the pastures, and then leave it, to the great detriment of the Plaintiff and in-corning tenant. This assignment of the lease, the Counsel contended, was illegal, inasmuch as it was not °My contrary to the act of Lady Nightingale's settlement, but also as it related to the covenants it contained, and to the rent affixed, which was not the most itoproveable rent. Several Witnesses were then called. One acid, that at the time Wallace hired the farm, he would have given 3001. per ann. for it ; and another said, he would have given 3501. if he had known there was clay to be found, which there was, he ranee learned. A farmer in the neigh bourhood said, it was worth a guinea an acre, 7001. a-year ; and another, that, in 1793, it was fairly worth 3301. Land-surveyors and land-velners of the fast eminence were called, who deprecated the covenants, and thought the rent too low ; and an Attorney proved, that Wallace wanted to borrow of him 16001. on the security of his lease, some little time after he took the farm. Such was the case on the part of ti.a Plaintiff, and by her right of mar riage-settlement, and under such a violatinu of it, did she reek for redress, praying for the recovery of possession of this farm, near five years of the lease being unexpired. Mr. Bear, as Counsel for the Defendant, began hie ebservations by stating to the Jury, that this farm consisted of 700 acres, and begged them most particularly to notice, that only 120 were arable at the time of hiring it. That, of the 600 acres of grass, 350 were what is called adventurous, or very ordinary land, subject to lie flooded, and not by any means deserving the name of paistnre a and the rest war feu-land also, bordering on the adventurous., and them, and even now, liable to the visitation of the waters. The Learned Counsel asked, why did not Lady Nightingale, if she con ridered At tint that the had been defrauded of any of bee right, why did nut leer Ledysliin, immedi ately on the death of Sir Edward, express such sentiments, and try to effect then, what she was now so desirous to obtain—the possession of this farm ?—But she continued for four yeers, from the year leo4 to 4808, after her husband's death, to receive every half year the rent of the De fendant, end now most soddenly wants him to quit his oceopetimi. Gentlemen, urine' a lease be a gross redatiun of a positive restriction, it cannot be iiivslidated, and this certainly was ,nott for Lady Nightingale's marriage-settlemeut said nothing about cnveoants, and as far as relates to the rent, 1 011411 prove to you, by the most respectable and nu merous witnesses, that the money Mr. Wallace gave 4. 1792 was out only a few but a full rent, and that the estate is now must astonishingly improved. Gentlemen, with respect to the taking three coacerning which so much has twee said, I must natant you, that the fenner tenants had the same permission ; and as to carrying away go loads of hay front 1400 acres, it really is so trifling a quantity, whey taken in the aggregate, as out tu sir deserv ing notice. I again state, to prove the validity of the lease, that the rent was fully adequate. A 110. Galloway hired the farm at 27A1. i.-year, and be could not live on it. Then it was drop ped to :241.A. and Mi. Cider became the tenant ; lie left it. and Mr. Wallace havieg trirel to let it, asks.l Sool. a-year far it, mid cold &Asia tin more than :2 . 401. whist Cater g ave Weeert in one instance o f 2801. fi oin a perm , was not thought cligiltle); aufi Sir Edward Sigi.kilgele gave to Mr. Wallace a lease on the rune terms as the preceding tenant ; net doubting, but, as it ac tually turned out, that Mr. Wallace would greatly,• improve the estate; and the fret is, it is now wortl double the rent, oir'tiig to his, good management, •I and the large ouna'af money lie laid out; for he' ' was to do all the repairs at his own expense, and he' erected large coCTilre - ti t; one capable of holding sixty, and annthef•• Areal tep_e, • and drained and • clayed the laud. Whets 1.16n` hail this farm, a great flood swept away the Woaiiee Of all the low land, and that still was halite to the saine calamity. (leutletnen of the Jury, when the law speaks of the hest immoveable rent, it does not mean the highest rein; but you are to take into considera tion, all the requisites of a goon and bad tenant ; and although Younginaa's Mier was refused, for prudential reasons, Usi the out of Mt. Nightingale, yet that circumstance could not inealaatethe lease; and though others had, in this Court, express sett a desire to give more rent than Wallace, still such •ircuinstances were never made known to Mr. Nightingale, and therefore there was no inten tion of frond on his part. The Learned Counsel here quoted raining cases in defence of his argu ment; where, under precisely the same circum stances, the law had declared, that it was not the higheet swot which was the most improveable one ; and relative to the WWI. asked for the lease, it would be proved by the evidence, that Wallace did 'not offer that liesgar vale, nor as havingover reached 4ir Efitta , only wanted to borrow the SUM in question ; and said, " I have • 1.4141 trf my farm for twenty-out year., and surely that is a good acclivity till l cam repay you:" and even this event did not occur till after Wallace had been in the farm tire years. Wallace bad likewise to do all the repairs, and, in fact, he h.sd expended 11001. ou the improvement of the estate. Another great point, to which the atteutior of the Jury 1/I nat. be attracted, was the breaking up the eras* -land. Mr. Wallace had availed hiniself of his power only to the extent of sixty acres out of six hundred, and even where that alteration had taken place, the soil was now iafinitety lesid es, the . law declared, that was not waste of pasture, which einiverted it into tillage, fur inrii.vornent ; and this I very laud before, roteetfitite sheep, and subjected other cattle to various/disorders, from the stagnant and infectiona waters dnjuring the herbage ; and, even whet. broken up, was to be laid down again. In short, the farm hail not been injured - by remmiez, and the covenants, besides, had nothing I to do with the restriction in the marriage-settle ment. The rent, at the time of letting, was a fair and full one; and since, it was increased from 51301. to 4001. a-year; which increase Lady Nightingale now enjoys. There was evi dently not any intention, on the part of Sir Ed ward, in either instance, to defraud his wife; and, in the strictest point of law, them had not been any violation of the marnage-settlement ; and therefore the lease could not be invalidated. More than thirty of the most respectable witnesses proved what the Learned Counsel had stated.— One Gentleman, that Wallace offered his brother half of the farm, for idol. half of the original rent, but he thought it to 6 dem; others shewed the rent was amply sufficient at that time; sod land-valuers of ensitienee, and neighbouring farmers, estimated the fen-land at from four to eight shillings en acre, sod the best at only a little more. The Judge, Lord Chief Justice MANS/ISM was of opinion that the lease did not wory of col lusion or fraud ; sod the Jury found a verdict for the Defendant, establishing the validity of the lease.

During the whole afternoon, wloch ,wsis eery .close and sultry, distant thunder was fled iu the anntli-east; about half-past live, the stoma reached that place, and cinitintitil About an hour, during which time the flashes of lightning followed'each other in awful and rapid stici:esUo;,, . . accompanied with such trementiou . s thunder, as threatened to dissolve the town, mid " Leave Dot a wreck bcbiu4!" The deluge of rain aad hail that fell, speedily undated the streets, and uivat have done condidtr- able damage in the lower parts of the town. Thee injury done by lightning is vet, greet, as will ap.. pear by the following particula►a:— A ball of electric matter catered the house c.f Mr. D. Sutton, in Prince's-street. It hrmt .truck the chimney-top, which it threw down, frailly iota the street, and partly into the house.—it then fol lowed the direction of the citamuey into th • sitting parlour, in which were eight per,nua, dashed part of the tea equipage on the floor, shivered the book-case, and, proceeding toward, the door, whiel was fortunately open, burst, with a (lreadik , i •!xplo *ion, followed by six small ones, but, fortuo.triv, j u j are d no pope el a l seelo o s ay........Te m Ladies were ustightly or ruck,_ out on the •ide of her head, aiod the other's 'nit, W4l singed. aort the arm a little a;- fected ; • gentleman of the party wets sko slightly struck on the face.

The oxydetiun of the beil , ortect has produced an effect beautiful beyond decry. tion.. immediately after the explosion, the sitting ' rerun 4Vas tilled with rinule, attended with such a strong smell of stilishur a .aa rendered it 'dangerous to retrial!, in the main. The door jamb of the ad jutaing'house was also torn off. The lightning also elm& down a clumaer and entered the roof of Mr. (fumble's rbeetlini-bone, riesr the Forth, and at the same time sirettered one of the pillars isf the front door, communicating with and destroying all the wires of the belloin the first and second stories ; shattered the steak of a Ten in the kitchen, also the window shutters of three rooms, ringing 6e paper, 4'o tasing about the lime from theetonsi of the winslowA wherever the bell-wires v.:intuit:n ested ; then burs.. out of the back staircase o ur dow, with a dreadful explain'', similar to the dis charge of a cannon, and tilling the different morns with black sulphnreous smoke. Providentially 1100 e of the family were materially kiurt. Mrs. Humble was deprtrwd, for a few minutes, of her hearing, and experienced a numboess is sore arm ; one of the servants was slightly scorched iii one hand. Mrs. Hissl,s house, hear Jesalond. was struck; and the work* of a gold watch, which was hanging up in one of the rooms, were melted, and considerable damage done to the walls, plait:res. &c. The lightning set a bark mill, near st. An drew's church, oil fire, but fortunately it wascattn. guished without m clots damage, except to the wands and one beam. Here we cannot omit noticing the alacrity with which the engines belonging to the military depot oa the Town Moor were brought to the spot, accompouied by a number of active hands, atl of whom strove to meet each other in rendering assiwance. On the same day, the house of Mr. Usha, at Preston, near North shields, suffered materially by the lightning, which entered the chimney, and made its way to a front room on the ~ ,, • rolind where' it damaged some of the furniture; it tiara' brake the partition betwixt the room and the kit chen, where it struck one of Mr. Uslia's daugh ters to the ground, and severely burned -her neck and arms ; it then shattered enother partition in its course to a back kitchen, whence it forced its way out of the house through a strong wall, which it considerably rent and damaged. A lamb win struck dead, amongst mans others, belonging to s butcher of North Shields. Thunder...storms appear to hare been general throughout the couutr), aid in different parts have been attended with serious consestuences, as will be seen front the following articles On Tuesday, a violent thunder-storm, accompa nied with rain and hail, took place at Aluve:ck ; the ire entered the house of Major Cmtles. and shiver ed a bedstead to pieces, tore the eall an scum rat places, and completely demolished the bell-wire.; a servant maid was in au odjuming bed room, but escaped unhurt.

The whole of the glass was driven out ut tt.e chamber window ; and, of twelve squares an the kit chen window, only four were let; the easing of the window was entirely erten wavy, mid the plasteiii dremaieed iu different places.
