Mr. HART stated this was a motion for an in junction to restrain the Defendant from proceeding at law, to recover compensation from the Plaintiff, Willock, for the non-performance of a contract. The circumstances of this case, he was certain, were in the recollection of his lordship. A Mr. Walcott, • citizen of London, biquesthed certain lands iu St. George's-fields to the parish of Lam. beth, to be vested in the Rector and Churchwardeus for the time being, as trustees for certain charitable purposes, and for u century the Rector and Church wardens acted through mistake, and exercised the right of ownership, as if the legal title of the estate was vested in them, which could not be the case, as they were nut • corporate body. The old leases having expired, they put the lands up at auction, to grant building leases. The Plaintiff. Willuck, was the auctioneer employed on the oc casion, and of course warranted, as is usual for auctioneers, that the porch should have a good title. The Defendant and several other per sons became purchasers, and when they found by the will of the testator that the legal title could nut be tested in the Rector and Churchwardens, they refused to pay any rent, and at the same time kept possession, knowing that they could not he put out of possession by ejectment. Time Rector amid Churchwardens presented a petition to the Master of the Rolls, and his Honour most properly made aim order appointing a receiver, and that the tenants should atiourn and pay their rents to him. The Rector and Churchwardens were about to apply to the Legislature for tin Act of Parliament to vest in theta the legal estate, when they would be able to Degat the leases contracted for by the tenants. The k•claitt, however, kept possession of the two lots he had purchased, refused to atiourn, and had brought his action at law against the auctioneer to recover damages for the uonsperformatice of the contract. He was certain that his Lordship would restrain hint by iojunction from proceeding, for in cases of charity, Courts of Equity had been iu the habit of departing from the strict practice of the Court to get at tire intention of the founder. There could be no doubt but the Legislature would grant the Act of Parliament, and it was trot possible that the Defendant could be in any way injured. Mr. ROUPELL followed ou the sense side. Mr. WETHERELL, Counsel for the Defendant, said, that there never was a case which bore more severe than the present dial on Isis client. He he came the purchaser of the lease of two lots at a pub lic auction, and he was warranted a good title, and be covenanted to build on the lots, and had ac tually expended 3,000/. in erecting buildings on them, which were now useless to him fur want of a title, which prevented his selling cr letting them. It was well known that persons who slit colleted as builders, were in the habit of soloing money on the ground and on the building as it went on ; his client was prevented from doing so fur waist of a title. As to the order made by his Honour the Master of the Holly, appointing a receiver, &c. be had use hesitation in saying that it was guess a one tha► never ought to have been made. . Mr. Haar—The Lord CliancellGr confirmed that order on an appeal. Mr. WETHERELL, in continuation, said he was aware that he had the honour of gig g an appeal to his Lordship from the order of the Allow of the Rolls, and if his Honour had taken the saute view of the case as his Lordship had, that appeal would never have been brought, fur although his Lordship confirmed so much of the order as di rected the tenants to /mourn, he desired that tile receiver should not sue fur the rents ; not se with We Honour, for his order gave the receiver full ..Power to suer As to the proposition of his Learned Friend, Mr. Hart. that the Court re laxed its strict rules in favour of charities Mel so well known that it was minecesrary to be stated, but how it could apply to the auc tioneer he was at a loss to know, for he did not form any part of a charity. He had warranted to the Defendant a good title, which he hid riot given him ; and he was liable to be aorwerahle for that warranty in a Court of Law. Hr could not awes that there vr:sa a certainty that the tore Could or could grant au Art of Parliament, verbs% the legal tight in truaters; for the estate might be escheated to the CFOWII. 141111 it Wight lint give its consent; be eronld not ray it would not. for, from its well-known huinenity, it was to he assumed that it would, but where there was is doubt his cheat was entitled to the advantage of that doubt. tholes there crenriderations, he trurted that his Lordship would &omits the application with costs, and leave the Defendant to Isis remedy at law. Mr. lIg4LD and Mr. Mooze followed on the same side. Mr. BLAKE said he appeared for two tenants, who had ripesided more y on the premises in their possession thin *list their rent amounted to. They had not brought actions, all he w4ll instruct ed to ask for was, that they might lint be ordered to pay into Court the senuutd of their rent until they obtained a legs! title. The LORD CHANCEI.LOR--" I perceive there ore a consider.ible number of these motions. Let them all stand over mitt) the first (lay of Michael mas Term. Let the lessees (mourn to the receiver, but he is not to press for the rents. Let all pro ceedings at law be suspended fur the present, and in the mean time let the Rector and Churchwar dens apply to the Legislature for an Act of Parlia ment to vest the estate in trustees. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GumonALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 11. Adjourned Sittings after !Mary Term before the CHIEF Jusrics and Cans/non Juriet. BLACK B. ANCIAM. This was an action for compensation for labour and service. The Pleiotiff, an accountant, had been employed by the Defendant, executor to his father, to arrange the accounts of the estate. For this the Plaintiff sought to recover 2 131. 6*. l id. bring the balance of a sum charged for service performed, at the rate of two guineas per diem, of six hours, for the. Daendont's labour, and one guinea per diem, of six hours, for his clerk. The objections were, first, that the business had beau unsatisfactorily executed; and, secondly. the ex travagance of the charge. The Defendant's clerk proved the labour done : and on his cross-examina tion he stated, that he received a salary of M. per week, frequently labouring iu his occupation for 14 hours in the day. The CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion, that the charge was enormous, being a profit of 2s. 6(1. an hour, on the labour of the clerk alone. He left it witl► the Jury to say what would be a fair compen sation. The Jury retired, and hoiteri e Ween absent about half so hou► returned, and gave a verdict for tit Plaintiff—Damages 1261. 141. 6d. with costs. PARNELL V. DROWN. The Plaintiff in this case was sole executor of Mr. Finkhall, late or St. Paul-street, Finsbury square. The Defendant was bound by an agree. went, in which he acknowledged himself to be in debted to Mr. Finkhall to the amount of 1,1001. stock in the 3 per cent. consols, ou which lie was to pay the value of the dividends until the stock should be replaced. The agreement was proved by the subscribing witness, and was executed in the year 1813. A letter from the Plaintiff, dated June 11, 1818, requiring the Defendant to replace the stock, ac cording to ►he conditions of the agreement, was put it. The price of stock on this day was proved by another witness to be 68,11. The value (tribe stock, therefore, was computed to he 8551. Si. The defence, which appeared to have been unex. pected, wa•, that repayment had been made to the value of 9001. of the stock, of which proof was offered. The CHIEF JUSTICE thought, that this matter could be more satisfactorily settled out of Cou►t. The parties assented, and a verdict was taken for the Plaintiff, subject to reference and deduction, the costs of the cause to abide the legal event of such reference. HEDGES. r. sovaita AND OTHERS. The Plaintiff In this case had, under the order of the Defendants, laid a barrel-drain iu a place called the Nag's Head-field, Bethnal-green, of the length of 1,323 fret, fire which lie was to have received 78.9 d. per loot, the drain being three feet in the clear, and was to have been surrounded by brick-work of nine inches thick. Some part of the money bad been paid, but the Plaintiff still claimed a balance of 136/. It appeared that the building of the drain had been resolved on by the parties occupying the houses in the Nag's Head-field, the Plaintiff him self being one of those residents. The expenses were to be paid by a subscription. Mr. Beek, the surveyor to the Cummissionets of Sewer., was ap. plied to, so that the drain being constructed at.. cording to proper directions, might afterwards be adopted by the Cun►rnissioners. The objections were, first, the imperfection of the work ; and evidence was given that the brick work was iu some parts defective of the thickness agreed upon. The Plaintiff had received 4371. The CHILI JUSTICE, in ti►is stage of the case, put it to the Jury whether the Plaiut►ff had nut received enough money, considering that he had done his work ►mperfectly, and the Pleintiffs would have the expense of uncovering the whole of it. to ascertain the extent of the deceit practised. The Jury depressed a wish to hear tha rest of the defence. The next objection was. that it• would coat 43/. according to evidence given, to make geed thaw parts winch were known to be defective. The CHttt► JUITICI now declared that he oast uotrauit time Phuutill. as the 'sapper of bis eiteestp. ing the work intrusted to him hsd been actually fraudulent. The nou-snit was entered accordingly. HODGES O. JOHNSON. This was an action to recover damages for an assault, and receiving bodily injury, &c. Mr. MARRYATT stated the case. The Defen dant was the landlord of the Plaintiff si house, is Skinner -street, Bishopagate, on winch some re pairs were going ni, under the dirertinn of the Defendant. An altercation ensued between the parties, in the COlllfte of which the Defend ut took violant hold of the Plaintiff's collar. and 'swung him round with such force, that a coil-Forger, with whom the Plaintiff was impelled into contact, was thrown down, aii had his shoulder dislocated by the shock. The assault was fully proved. Mr. Ken•erley, who resides at Kingsland, was passing, and saw the Plaintiff lying on the pave mcut, apt) believed at first that the skull was Inc.a Witness did not hear the previous Niteroi. tint,. ..There was another man of whom the per sons assembled informed witness that he had been iiijnred by the fall of the Plaintiff.

GASELEE, for the Defendant, Islamic() the high prom:i given by the Plaintiff, alleging that the letter bad called the Delenitant " Thief!" " Swindler !" and other titles of like courtesy. There was no plea of justification on the record, but evidence was given of the abusive and provok ing language used by the Plaintiff. The Jury, alters short consultation. gave • ver dict for the Plaintiff—Damages, Is.—Costs. Is. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced yesterday morning, at the Courthouse at Clerkenwel I, before the C slaw man and a bench of Magistrates. Mrs. 4. Russell, the wife of Thomasaussell, a woman of very respectable appearance, was indict ed for violently assaulting Ann King, a po►r wo. man, who has been in the habit of selling brooms. On the day of the assault, the Prosecutris, as was her usual custom, passed by the door of the tra verser, hawking her brooms; the traverser called her into the house, and bargained with her for one of the brooms ; • dispute arose as to the price, upon which Mrs. Russell, who has been the land lady of a public. holm, lost her temper, and with the handle of one of the brooms struck her violently, which injured her so much as to prevent her fur three weeks from pursuing her business. Tnu traverser stated, that having four young children depending on her exertions, she was greatly injured both in person and in means by the violent conduct of Mrs. Russell. The Prisoner's Counsel, Mr. BARRY, strongly u►ged tbat the evidence of the traverser was alioge.. ther incredible; it was not to be supposed that • woman of Mrs. Russell's respectability would, without any provocation, commit so scandalous an assault upon the Prosecutrix. The CHAIRMAN, however, observed to the Jury that the evidence of the Preeecutn• was not contra• dieted; that in itself it was collected and consistent; that the evidence of the injured party was not to be disbelieved, merely because the conduct of the op posite party had been violent. The Jury found the Prisoner Guilty, and she was fined in a sum of 4/. Charles Sherringhass wee indicted for • misde• me•nor. by indecently exposing his person before Jane Drummond. The Prosecutris pretty broadly stated the conduct of the Prisoner. On her eras.-eaai ll ll ation by Mr. BARRY she admitted that she was a inarried woman ; that she did not, however. live with her husband ; and that she had been indicted fur an assault and convicted. Mr. BARRY, ill • long address to the Jury, strongly impressed upon them the improbability of the present charge brought against a ►wan °Una iwrty and character. The charge, too, was brought forward by a person of had character, who had been already convicted in that Court. The Learn. ed Gentleman called two witile,sr,, wh o prom ' that the Prusecutrix, in their piesence, having had a dispute with her husband, had accused him of inducing her and her child to swear against Mr. Shernngham, a gentleman who had never injured her, nor insulted her in any way. The CHAIRMAN, in a very clear and forcible manner, recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, and left the question to them, observing, that a charge of this nature should be supported by the clearest evidence, particularly when it had been brought against a person of respectability iu life.— The Prisoner was acquitted. There was no other case of any interest whatever came on.--The Court adjourned until tins day.
