They had achnitt.tl that the hill of Avhdowts was one which that Gentleman _ . lout received no value from !hem for. The De- letidant Maunders load stated what wal incredible : that he had taken the hill as it security, when it was his own draft on a person who would not pay it, because he haul not received value fir ir, 'rhea o u Una corning to the knowledge of the Platitsitf. lie refused to advance more money to the Defendants, which, lie contended, came strictly under the co- Tenant of the deed of copartnership; for if there was a breach of a covenant, let the sum be ever so small, still it was a breach ; like the story of a man who stole a pig, and being accused of it, he said it was a very small pig—lie we*. however, con victed of the theft. The Plaintiff charged the Defendants with entering into a negoeiati tttt with a Mr. Vestal, for an exchange of paper, and by an entry in the Defeudants' hooks, it appeared that nit exchange of paper did take place between them to the amount of 1,4001. And how did the Defendants explain the transaction ? They stated, that having bills of exchange for small sums they put them into the hands of Westal, and took his acceptance for the whistle amount, 1,400/. This transaction alone, he contended, would he consi dered by any Court of Law as a breach of a core ; tend of a contract to prevent one partner from mak. tug away with the property of the copartnership. It was necessary for bun to draw his Lordship's attention to the manner the partnership accounts were kept by the Defendant*. After all the in dustry that had been used by the Defendants on them since the bill was filed, they were stow so ob scure that no man could ascertain what was meant by them. The value of account-books to the trader Ire had always understood was, that they should he faithful records of . what was isaatiiig the trade, and such compliance was required by the deed of copartnership; but instead of which there were new entries in the books, purporting of anterior date ; at the same time the date of the item pre ceding spewed they were made since the ia. junction was granted. The Learned Counsel then stated, that intleitentlent of the two thousand pounds lent to the copartnership by the Plaintiff, lie was in advance to it in a slim of near 7,0001. besides the Defendants having implicated his Lame in bills to the amount of 19,0001. It was not necessary fur hint to go further into the detail of facts ; but there was one transac that he must cull his Lordship's attention to. The Defendants had a-clerk in their service of the name of Chambers, whom they paid a salary to df 40s. a week ; they writ him down to Mau cheater with books to the amouut of between S and WO/. and immedistely after hie arriving at Menclies - - ter the Defendants drew bills on Chambers at a short date for the whole amount. Could there be any doubt but that Chambers was sent to Manchester by the Defendants, for the purpose of hiring off their accommodation bills ? He would not occupy any longer the time of the Court, as he was coo. vinced lie had shewn enough to his Lordship to con• viiice hint that the injusiction ought not to be dis solved. 3lr. Mau) followed on the same side, and was heard in part. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at two o'clock, ob served, he was obliged to rise, as he was compelled to attend elsewhere. Mr. WETHEILIILL requested that his Lordship would give au order that the Defendants might have access to the books of the copartnerehip, as they had been removed off the premises in the Strand by he receiver. The LORD CHANCELLOR" If you think pro. per to produce an affidavit to Mc to-morrow morn ing that the Defendants have oat made any entries iii the books sluice the granting of the injunction, I will then tell you what 1 will do with your applica tion.

Mr. Jaime, for the Defendant, said, lie rnesid to contend that by Icw the Plaintiff. were not en titled to whet they now demanded. Three tolls were said to be. granted by the charter of Elix.beili tdi the Corporation. but the Crown could not grant any thing which the mono-tary had not forieirr: poaserved. and he should prove that all which the monastery had was teiekisge, stallage, and tollage at the fairs held in Reading ; and stallege orcitand ing from the pervoute frequenting the weekly mar kets He would prove this front conies in the int glister,' hooks in the 4.11 year or Edward VI. and also is the reign of Elizabeth, in wl ich the were entered that were paid under each of those heads.

Ile coatended that there was no grouted fur saying the Corpormieca lied • right to this toll in kind, crest on corn expos ed in bulk for sale in the market-place. much less for that which was sold there by simple. The Learned Gentleman then put id documentary evi dence, and exatunied witnesses in support of h,s statement. Mr. MAaRTATT replied. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Joey. Hie Lordship said the question of the right of tt to Corporation to take toll on corn sold by sample is the market at Reading, and consumed elsewhere, was not at present at issue. The question here war, whether * toll be payable on all core sold within the Borough ? If the Jury were satisfied that the toll btu! beets paid from before legal me mory, which was from the time of Richard the First, it then became necessary to inquire if what had so long existed had had • legal coni mencement. It appeared clearly from the evi dence on both aides, that from the most remote antiquity the abbots of tie itionarety at Reading had been lords of the the soil, soil it we* therefore • highly probable they had imposed the tolls, which in his opinion would be a legal commencement. IC the Jury therefore were satisfied that front all time (.peaking in common parlance) the tolls had ht‘ll payable, there was. iu his opiuiou, sufficient ev deuce of a legal commencement, and they would find their verdict accordingly. The Jury immediately found a verdict for the . Plaintiffi—Damages, 405., sod the value of the toll of corn withheld by the Defendant. Mr. Jeavre obtained leave to tender a bill of exceptious. This trial occupied the whole of the day, and did not conclude till clearly five o'clock.

It had been said by his Learned Friend,, that the Plaintiff had sworn to a circumstance that was not true, but lie had done so through mistake. He, however, would not accept of that cover for his client, fur if the Plaintiff had averred to any thing that was not trite, he would say, let the penalties attached to such a crime fall on his head. k had been also stated by his Learned Friends, that the injunction had been granted on the affidavit of the Plaintiff; that lie had lately discovered that the Defendants had paid the debts of the old copart nership out of the funds of the new copartnership. This was riot true, for lie ('he Learned Counsel), when he moved for the injunction, put it 011110 such ground ; and Mr. Wetherell, to prove that the pay ment to Tipper and Fry was made with the appro bation of the Plaintiff, produced a ledger that the first payment made to Tipper and Fry was in February, 18111, before the deed of partnership was executed. He held in his hand that ledger ; he had asked when it was produced., if there was any person who would venture to make oath that that entry was made in the ledger at the period it pur ported; he rots answered that such an affidavit would be mode when it was necessary. Ile would, however, undertake to assert, that such an affidavit would never be made, fur this entry was one of the many made by the Defendants to deceive the Court. In fact, the ledger produced was not the ledger of the copartnership. but that of the Defendants. Mr. WETHERELL denied the assertion. Ile slid it was the ledger of the firm of Beasley, Piiisiock, and Maunder; and if the Plaintiff meant to assert that the mitres were fraudulently made by the Defendants, lie must do it out affidavit. Mr. HART said. he used this in answer to the argument of his Learned Frieud, that the Plaintiff had sworn to a fact which was not true, through mistake or inadvertency. if his Lordship would look into the cash-book he would see that the 1,500/. was not paid to Tipper and Fry until the mouth of February, 1819; but it, the cash-book there were many items of a later date entered than the items preceding them. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" I see many thicgs in the cash-book that ought soot to be there. It will, however, be better not to go into any thing that is not sworn to. Mr. HART, in continuation, said, that his Learned Friends had used some of the strongest arguments, pledging themselves at lawyers to their petition, without taking into their contempla tion that his Lordship was also a lawyer. They had told him it was expressed in the articles of coparternership that the Defendants were to pay 7,0001. and odd of their own debts, and that they had debts due to theta to the amount of 5,0001. ; and front that circumstance the Plaintiff must have known they had 110 fund to pay the differ ence between the debt they owed and that due to them. They forgot, that there was a convertible stock of the old copartnership, to the otnount of 5,000/. Then, if the new copartnership used that convertible stock, they must pay fur it. %Vas it not as clear as the sun at noon day, that the food to pay the deficiency between the debts owing by the Defendants, and that due to them, was to be raised out of this convertible stock, and nut out of the moines of the Plaintif f ? He hoped lie had made himself understood by his Lordship, for to attempt to satisfy the understandings of his Learned Friends, he knew it to be impossible. The Plaintiff had no advantage front the Defen dants purchasing their debt to 'tipper and Fry fur 1,0001. lea, titan its actual amount. as the Defen dants dome it for their own benefit, to purge them selves from the debt. The argument of his Learned Friends went no further than to say to Ilia s' You knew that the Defendants had no carpi tali therefore you must pay, and be the scarecoat of their speculation." lie asked, would it be fur a moment held by a Court of Equity that partners entering into a business with ts butted capital, that one of them should he allowed to plunge into a speculation of 100,000/. and the other partners should be mink answerable for it? he would under take to sly that there never was before such a wild proposition laid down in a mercantile country. The capital of the copartnership was not considered sufficient in the first installer, for winch reason the Plaintiff lent the firm a perpetual luau of 2,0001. and because lie bad done so, was that a reason that his whole fortune should become liable to the speculations of the Defendants. The Dc. /tridents had said they would not have borrowed rummy from other persona if the Plaintiff had not refused them advances. Ile had no doubt they would not, as long as he furnished them with checks on his banker but he contended they had no right to borrow for a less time than six tnotiths, winch was provided for by the covenant of the deed of 1
