COURT 917 CHANCERY, Dn. 26. ARURY-LANE THEATRE. - - -• Mr. FONB LANQUE.suited, that the Trustees anti Mr. Sheridan had come 'to. a further arrangement for the purpose of including the payment and satis faftion of all Debti for which a bona fide considera tion had been given. • • Mr. SH EA I DAN said, a question had been put by Mr. Agar, as to the disposal of the thirty-seven one pound Shares. He could not recogni7,e Mr. Agar's right to put that : question to him, a$ - he had 'been in possession of; - those:-Shares long before - he had 'known Mr.-Grubb, and had as much right to 'raise money upon them as tipon his private estate. He wished, however, 'to give every inforination to hi's Lordship. that was in his power. He then handed to the Lord ChanceliOr an account of the distribution of those Shares. By far the greater part of them had, he said, been disposed of, or placed . as , securities to satisfy debts contratled on 'account of-the. Theatre, -and for the purpose of en:. ablingsit to goon. Mr. PtooT said they understoocithat Mr. Grubb had no objeaion to submit . to arbitration. Mr. AGAR said, nothing was more desired on the part of Mr. Grubb, bin it could not be done unless his Lordship gave sufficient powers for that . purpose. • the LORD CkIANCELLOi. said the Arbitrators would have power to call for papers and to swear witnesses. Ivir. AG A R oNeOed qua . they wouid 'not have.. power to compel attendance. . The I , oitrACHANC EL box said he could pot help that; he-wished to• state all he knew upon the sub jai, which he had investigated with the most painful anxiety, and he believed he was right in the conclusion he had drawn. He thought it, how... ever, the interest - of all persons concerned in the Theatre,- rather to endeavour to heal its wounds, and put an end to all differences, than to insist upon their stria legal rights. Mr. Pr GOT said there was one of the Arbitrators,' named by Mr.. Sheridan, whom he wished might be changed,• which was hiMself. He had in the course of the proceedings," as one of the Counsel for Mr. Sheridan, formed an opinion relative to the rights of Mr. Grubb, and therefore he did not think himself a proper person to be named as an Arbi trator. ' Mr. SHERID AN s a id h e su b m i tte d the matter en. tirely to his:Lordship. Himself , and the Trustees were ready to go to arbitration. Mr, Grubb. said - he was ready; but he wished for a Bond of. Arbi.. tratio.n, and - also proposed . that he should be ac. knowledged by him (Mr. Sheridan) as a partner. The LURK CHANCELLOR.: said he had no hesita. don to say that such a concession could not be ex. peeled from him_ (Mr. Sheridan.) Eb,wAßp GRUBB proposed that Mr. Agar, and the Counsel on the other side, should settle the terms' of the arbitration. • The LoRD CHANCELLOR thought one Arbitra. tor would be sufficient for every purpose. Mr, SHERIDAN then begged leave to name Mr. Romilly, a Gentleman whom he said he did not know, but wlio stood high in the_Profession. - The: tORD CirANCiLt,oR. said there must he mutual concessions. — lndividuals must be more dined to concede than to establish rights, for the purpose of bringing the business to a successful ter. inination. Mr, AGAR said,- that if Mr. Grubb's rights were to-be carried'back-to the agreement of Septem.. ber t79s; the property had - been since covered by judgments to such ail extent, that whatever sum rzi~lit be advanced . to him, it was doubtful whether it.could now be recovered. LORDII44. "CHANCELLOR said the should state what he thought upon the'Siibje&, and he ,should give the Parties till after the 16th of January to settle all. differences, at which period, if he lived and remained in . that, Cdurf, he should again come down. fie knew what order he must make if com pelled to . Fitt, bur he' hoped . the Parties, by agree., ment amongst 'themselves,- would preclude , that necessity. If such agreement did . not take place, how the Court was to tinrairel the: difficulties at tendant upon - this -COncern; without pressing the' . property to ashes, andcrushing the parties to death, he knew not. - Mr. SH-ERIDAN SZlid hiS Lordship would 'not for get that Mr. Grubb was indebted to him for the shares he had agreed for. The LORD CHANCELLOR saiir, if it was left to Mr. Romilly, he had no doubt that Gentleman would say what ought to be done by all parties. Mr..ROMILLY begged leave to decline the no.. urination. The LORD CHArtc7i:Loa. said, " I will give the Parties, in this Case, an opportunity until the 16th of January next= to consider whether they will save' themselves from ruin, or whether they will compel me to rain them by the exercise of the jurisdiftion of this Court. I know the order that I must make, applying as it.must do, to more itregtilarity, more negligence, and more breaches of contrao than I replied ever to have seen In this Court, or heard of any where, being a judicial determination, nun have that effea; at least I know not how it can, have any other,. or how the fads, as they are here disclosed, calling for a 'judicial determination off' this Court, linadequate as_this Court is and must-be, even in its 'most simple form), can get over :hc difficulties that must .occur, without reducing the property to powder, 'and the interest of the Parties to death, I do no.t know ; but if they compel me to do so,, I must do 'so:" Here it ,Was proposed that Mr. Romilly should take the'reference i .- upon which The LORD CHANcELLOR. proceeded—"' But you can find such a.oentleman as Mr. Romilly, who with his own. powers, 'and the littl e ass i st a nc e Which I may be abl e to g i ve him, by some order's, I have no doubt not, that he will be able to do complete. justice in this case, for that no mar will ever, I belie v e,' be a bl e to -d o ; the may sa! what, upon the whole, is , fit for the Parties'to do; My proposition goes a.vast way.
