Swinfen hating filed a bill to enforce its performance, the verdict being in fievour of the. will and adverse to Capt. Swinfen, an application was made for a new trial, which was refused ; and, on the final hearing of the cause, the plaintiff's bill was dismissed generally, with costs. ; The question now involved, was whether the plaintiff, the heir at law, should be - compelled to pay to the defendant the costs of so much of the bill as related to the real estate After hearing counsel on both side, the Master of the Rolls said, under all the circumstances of this remarkable and peculiar case, although he had felt bound to dismiss the plaintiff's bill, he thought the heir at law ought not to be compelled to pay the defendant the costs of so much of bill as related to the real estate, Order Accordingly, of Ewope, ports compared Decrease to Great compared with 1855-6, 4:5,000 bales; increase to 24,000 ; decrease to other .forcign ports, 2,000. 2d. per lb., and .et ou Londor.
