It was an appli cation to set aside the will of the Plaintiff's lather. as far as regarded the bequest to the Defendant, of certain landed-estates, on the ground that the tes tator bad net the power 111 alienate them from the heir at law. . For the Defendant, it was contended that it was consonant to :.greement between the Testator and the Plaintiff, that ;he estate should be beqaeathed to the Defendant, cn consideration of p-rsonalty, and other property, to the value of 20,001)1. being left to the Plaintiff ;* and that the Plaintiff could not, at once, invalidate the will, as far as regarded the interest of others, and himself take the benefit he had been intended to have under it : he must take his eletlion either to telmquish what accrued to him under the instrument, as it stood, or to allow its validity, as it affedad the other legatees.

Mr. Peacivax, in this case, (novel for a writ to supersede the commission of the lath of March last, which had been issued against Autkiony Daffy Swin ton, on the petition of George Hodgkinson and others. He moved this on the ground that one George Hall, a servant of Mr. 3 Anton, had been suborned by Mr. .Needler Chaniberlarne, . (one of the partners of Hotigkinsun), to swear that the pe wit petitiouer had committed an act of bankruptcy, by desiring hint to cl• ny him to his creditors: that ttit said Hall bad since been committed to the cetii spur-street Conquer, upon two cliarges of felony, and had adottreed that what ho had said was false; acd that he was to have received six guineas from Chanel,. riayne, for swearing to an ad of hankruptcp and had illy received dins td the value of 16s. as A coMpensation, and under the suggestion of the dooms, that it would look 1 ss like! babe than motley.
