COURT'OPiCH4NCERY, JULY 6. THE DUKE OF BEDVORDrd.THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. SHADWELL said, he had to move, in a cause in which the Duke of Bedford was plaintiff, and the trustees of the Bri tish Museum defendants, that an order made by the Vice- Chancellor might be discharged, and that an injunction might be granted to restrain the defendants from erecting certain build ings intended to he attached to the British Museum. The Learned Counsel 'stated, that 'in the year 1669, Rachel Vaughan was seized of a mansion-house called Southampton-house, and after wards Bedford-house, in the parish of St. Giles, and a parcel of ground called Long-field and. Baber's-field, adjoining the gardens of Southanipton.house ; that, being so seized, she exe cuted indentures of July, 1669, which were expressly made in Russell. By se indentures e a marriage ur b es etw sh ee e n roheurvseelyfeadndtoLotrdhe Earl NVill of iain Northumberland, the Earl of Ailesbury, and Sir Richard Ver non, the property in question upon trust, not•for Lord William Russell; but as _she should appoint: At a subsequent period, i upon the death of the Earl of Northumberland, -Sir Phillip Warwick was appointed a trustee in his room, and then an in strument was executed, upon which the whole of the present question would turn. It was between the trustees of the one part, and Ralph, Montague on the other part.; and •it witnessed, that in consideration of 2,6101., paid bb}' Ralph Montague, the trus tees conveyed, and Lady tachel Vaughan confirmed, to Ralph Montague, the 'mansion-house anti garden, -with the fields ad ! joining, to hold to hint and his heirs, at a yearly rent 0f,5/. In consideration of this conveyance, Ralph MOntae ' me cove nanted with Lady Rachel Vaughan, that in case he erected any building, he would erect a fair and large house fit for a 4m - illy, and that he would not make any public way to the north , ward, or erect any building beyond the outermost wall of South ampton house ; he also covenanted, that if lie should erect any buildings on the north end of the ground, or should extend thein:beyond Southampton-house, with the exception of a small summer-house, or banquetin,g-house, in the garden, he would forfeit and pay 31- a-day as long as such erections should, re main, and until the place was restored to the same condition it was in before. Upon the execution of this conveyance Ralph Montague took possession of the ground, and erected a build ing which did not extend beyond Southampton-house; That house was afterwards destroyed by fire, and another erected on its site, which was confined within the very same limits.— The house built the second time was the house which is now called the British Museum. This building was enjoyed by the family of Ralph Montague till the year 1753, when an Act of Parliathent passed in the 26th'year of George IL, the object of which was the preservation of, the curiosities , collected by Sir Hans Sloane. By that act, the Lord Chancellor, and certain other persons,were formed into a Corporation to carry the inten tions of the Legislature into effect ; and it was enacted, that they should have succession for ever, as trustees of the British Mu seum. Upon the passing of this act, the mansion-house was conveyed to the trustees, and they had been in possession ever since, and had paid the yearly rent charge of 51. to the present Duke of Bedford and his ancestors. The Learned Counsel then stated that, in the year 1890, the house called Southampton or Bedford-House, was pulled down, and a range of mag nificent houses built upon that and the adjoining ground, and these houses overlooked the 'British Museum and gar dens. The trustees of the British Museum had recently given notice to the Duke of Bedford, that they intended to erect various buildings beyond the line where Southampton' House stood, • for the purpose of having them inhabited by the statues of certain ancient heroes and 'heroines, gods and goddesses - there assembled and congregated by the laborious efforts of Lord Elgin and other industrious and 'persevering an tiquariaris: The-complaint of the Duke of Bedford. was, that these pantheons or buildings would extend beyond the north line of Southampton-house, obstruct the view of his tenants, and greatly depreciate the value of his property on the spot and in•thevicinity ; and he therefore prayed that the defend ants might not be allowed to erect any buildings except such as were within the meaning and scope of the original grant to. Ralph Montague. An application upon this subject had been made to the Vice-Chancellor for an'lnjunction ; but he declined interfering till it should be • determinul whether the original covenant on the part of Ralph Montague was a covenant running with the land ; for unless such was its effect, no relief could be granted. The question had stood over in order to ascertain whether any mode could he adopted by which it might be settled. His Honour had directed a case to be made for the opinion of the Common Pleas, but' the parties not con ceiving that course would be effectual, had never drawn up the order of the Vice-Chancellor. They were desirous of having the matter determined by the opinion of the Lord Chancellor, •and with that view hadbrought forward the present application. The Learned Counsel proceeded to, argue at length in support of the injunction. He was followed by Ar. Littledale, Mr. Aber crombie, and Mr. Cullen, who contended against the right of the trustee's to enlarge the line of their buildings beyond the • • limits pointed out and defined by the conveyance, through the .1 medium of which it had come into their possession. The ATTORNEY GENERAL resisted the motion. He ob served that the Duke of Bedford ought to.have brought an ac tion at law; but admitting that he was entitled to come into a court of equity, the Court could grant him no relief. The question was, what was the situation and intention of the parties at the time of their entering into the contract? Montague-house was at that time free from all buildings, and did not obstruct the view from Southampton-house ; but when the proprietors of Southampton-house had pulled it down and erected build ings on the spot, and surrounded Montague-house with them, he contended that they could not come into a court Of equity to restrain the trttstees from proceeding with their pro - jected works.' .• Mr. WETHERELL and Mr. PULLEN supported the same line of argument, and insisted that the alteration made by the Duke of Bedford in the state of the property, amply justified An ACCOUNT of the PRODUCE of the EXCISE DUTIES of GREAT BRITAIN, exci of any Arrears received of The War Duty on Malt, in the Years 'and Quarters 'ended sth 1821, and 1822, skewing the Increase or Decrease on each head thereof.

Dr. Bentley, when he came to town, was accustomed, in his visits to his Lordship, sometimes 'to spend the evenings with him. One day, old Lady Granville reproached her son, for keeping the country clergyman, who was with him the night before, till he was in toxicated. Lord Carteret denied the charge ; upon which the lady replied, that the clergyman could not have sung in so ridi culous a manner, unless he had been in liquor. The truth was, that the singing thus mistaken by her ladyship, was Dr. Bent ley's endeavour to instruct and entertain his noble friend, by reciting Terence, according to the true cantilena of the ancients. . - TURKISH LOGIC.—A young man y desperately in love with a girl of Stanchio, early sought to marry her, but his proposals were rejected. In consequence, he destroyed him self by poison. The Turkish Police arrested the father of the obdurate fair, and tried him for culpable 'homicide. If the ac cused (argued they, with becoming gravity) had not had a daughter, the deceased would not, have fallen in love, conse quently he would not have been disappointed, consequently he would not have swallowed poison, consequently he would not have died ' • but he (the accused) had a daughter, ,and the deceased had fallen in love, &c. Upon all these counts he was called upon to pay: the price of the young man's life ; and this being fixed at GO piastres, was accordingly exacted.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he was anxious to have the Essstanze of t'e Master of the Rolls for many reasons.. Ilc himself wati an official trustee of the Museum, though he had been se negligent that he knew nothing of the buildings, nor did he believe he had ever been there, except when he was obliged to walk through the groivals to get the safest way to Westminster, after an attempted destruction of his house. The single point was, whether the Mike of Bedford, if a n ac tion could be maintained, must be content with the action com pensating him for any injury he had to complain of; or whe ther he was entitled to the Metter relief a court of equity was in the habit of giving by injunction ? It was in the memory of all (of himself at least), that' there was not one brick tin another in the street called Gower-street ;' ittul when Gower-street was built, and Bedford-square was built, nobody could doubt that the persons who had nouses in Bedford-square thought them of more value from the circumstance of having the squaie on one side and. the Museum gardens on the other; and the houses on the east side of Gower-street were advertised as more valuable than those on the west, for the reason that they were pleasant habitations to every body; particularly to lawyers pent up in the Temple, who could get their breakfast at six in mopping, which was the •eustom, and have a comfortable walk 'from. one of those streets, where there was not a single house till they found their way to Queen's-square., From time to ti me , hoivever, buildings were raised round MOntague-hotise and the trustees now sought to erect their building. His Lordship then proceeded to consider. whether. the Duke of Bedford, having thus defeated the object of .Mr:Montague, to secure Montagne house from being surrounded by buildings, was entitled to come into a court of equity for relief. He was unable .to find this was one of those cases in which a court of equity would grant relief by injunction ; and in stating that without prej u di ce , h e requested the Master of the Rolls to inform.. him:in what view he saw the case? The MASTER of the ROLLS said, that as the case came under consideration now for the firsttime, and considering his situation in common with his Lordship,as trustee of the Museum',lie should have desired some time for consideration,if he could have brought himself to entertain the leaSt doubt ; but after having given the matter all the consideration in his power, he hadsno hesitation in at once giving his opinion. He thought the single question was confined to the jurisdiction of the Court, In considering whether the Duke was precluded froth having an equitable as , sistance from the Court, it was not to be supposed the Court cast the least imputation on his conduct : but had not the Duke, from the altered state of the property, by his own act, entirely abandoned and waved all that was applicable to the property in its former state ? Did not all that was engaged respecting the property belong to it whilst it remained in that state ? It was his opinion that the Duke, having changed the property, made the agreement not applicable so as to call on a Court of Equity to assist him. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the consequence - of that was, that the injunction could not be granted. Mr. SHADWELL observed, that the sole object of the Duke of Bedford was to try the question, for the sake of the personal comfort and convenience of the gentlemen, his tenants. The LORD CHANCELLOR men said, that if there were a ny remedy at all, the dismissal of the bill did not affect that remedy COURT OF KING'S BENCII, JULY 6. HARRIS V. HILL AND OTHERS. ... . . Mr. Wri.DE stated that this action was brought by the assinee of Messrs. Langhorne and Braiisford, bankrupts, v. Richard Hill, G. B. Mainwaring, Samuel Hill, and `'Ward, on a bill of exchange for 1,637/. 3s. 9d., dated the 10th of Oc. tober, 1814, drawn by the defendants on Messrs. Mainwaring, Chatteris, and Co., payable 61 days after date, and endorsed to the bankrupts. The defendant 11. Hill had suffered judgment by default, and the Other defendants had pleaded the general issue. . Mr. MARRYAT shortly opened the me to the Jury, and proved that the bill was drawn in the handwriting of S. Hill, in the name of the firm of Hill and Co. ; that it had been en dorsed to the plaintiffs ; and. had not been paid wheil - due by the acceptors: .... Mr. SCARLEtT, for the defendant Ward, contended that he was not in a situation' at the time the Bill was drawn to be made liable by the act of the actual drawer. Samuel Hill had, indeed, been in partnership with his brothers, .with ;the other defendants, and with Mr. Chatteris, one 'elite aceoptors, in a concern called the Stone Pipe Manufactory, at Fox-hill, in Gloucestershire ; but it would be shown, that at the time when the bili was drawn, this partnership had ceased, that Mr. W a rd knew nothing of the transaction, and that this bill was drawn entirely for the accommodation of Mr. Chatteris ; all which , facts were known to the bankrupts. Mr. MAIIRYAT, for Mr. Mainwaring, said that his client had not only the same ground of defence with Mr. Ward, but was also exonerated by a deed of composition, whereby his cre ditors had released hirn front all liability on payment:ollos. in the pound. Witnesaet were called to prove the dissolution of the partner.. ship, the deed of release, and the knowledge with which the bankrupts took the bill. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE obserVed, that several points of law would arise fit for the consideration of the Court, and some questions of fact on which he shoidd desire the opinion of the Jury. - Ile therefore summed up , the evidence, and the Jury, after stating their opinion on the points submitted to them, found a verdict for the plaintiff's, subject to the opinion of the Court on a special case. . TITACEERAY AND OTHERS V. WOOD AND OTHERS. This was an action of trover by the assignees of Greaves, a hop-merelrant, to recover from Messrs. Wood, Wigan, and Wood, certain pictures and 137 bags of hops, the property of the bankrupt before his bankruptcy, which the defendants were alleged to have converted to their own use.. The case for the plaintiff was in substance this :—Mr- Greaves, the bankrupt, carried on the business of a hop-mer. chant to a considerable extent in the Borough, and had been largely concerned With the house of the defendants. .in Au gust, 1818, he purchased of the 'latter 137 pockets of British hops, and gave bills for the same, amounting to 6,5011. 19s. 6d. Part of the hops was in the warehouses of the defendants, and the remainder in the warehouse of a factor, and the defendants gave the bankrupt the usual delivery notes. At this iime th e defendants had in their possession a quantity of foreign hops, the property of the bankrupt, part of which they had purchased, and the rest they held on hand for sale on his account. In con sequence of the abundant home produce of hops in 1818, consi derable failures took place in the trade, and particularly amongst those merchants who had bought largely upon specu lation at high price% After the transaction first above-men tioned took place, the house of Messrs. Felton and Co., with whom the bankrupt had had dealings, failed largely in his debt. In the prospect that his own credit would be affected by this failure, he applied to the defendants, and laid before them a statement of his affairs, by which it appeared that he would have a surplus balance of about 5,0001. after payment of his own debts, and it was alleged that the defendants offered to make him advances to the amount of 10 or 12,0001., u n ade quate security. For this purpose he proposed to lo e with s them the delivery orders above-mentioned, a considerab i e num. 11 ' ber of valuable pictures and India Bonds of his son,in-law to tLe amount of 6,0001. The bankrupt wanted an immediate advance of 6,0001., which the defendants agreed to make upon the securities thus stipulated, and the delivery orders in ques tion and three pictures were deposited with the defendants, but the India Bonds were not delivered.—lt was alleged that the defendants, in breach of this agreement, refused to ad vance any money; and retained in their hands not only the delivery orders, but the bankrupt's acceptanceifor the amount of the hops to which they related, and also the three pic tures. Other pictures were to have been delivered, but the bankrupt declined sending in any more, on the ground that he could not get the money proposed tobeadianced. Mr. Greaves afterwards became bankrupt, and had obtained his certificate, but his estate did not appear to have paid any divi dend. The acceptances he had given for the hops in question had never been paid, and they appeared to have been cancelled by the defendants. Tri the course of the trial, the transaction of the foreign hops alluded to was mixed up with the transaction in question, but it did not appear to have any connexion with the point in question, namely, whether the assignees of Greaves had a right to maintain this action for the hops and pictures in question, under the circumstances above-mentioned, the de fendants relying upon the fact that the hops had never been paid for but by bills which had been cancelled, and receiving no consideration for the bargain and sale upon 'which the plaintiffs relied. Mr. Alderman Wood did notappear to have taken any personal part in the transaction. The case went to the Jury under the Learned Judge's direc tions, and they found their verdict •for the pluinriff—Damages, 2,259/.
