MILL O. SIR JOHN HILL AND 01111/1/4.—Tein lama t
ILZOISTIN ACT.—KIMUITLATION Or bal7l3llllXT.
lIDOMMIT
This is an appeal Prom the Court of Chancery in Ireland.
The suit below was instituted by _the now respondents, Sir
John Hill, Bart., en infant, by Lady Hill, his anther, and
seat friend. Mr. W. C. Kyle, and the Rev. Mares
McCausland, In their character of trustees. The late Sir
George Fitzgerald Hill, granduncle of Sir John, the respon-
dent, was in passion of the house and demesne lands of
Brook-hall, asir Londonderry, from 1830 till the date of
his death I. 1839, when be left his nephew his hrrat-law.
This gentleman became Sir George Hill. In 1840 a pro-
posal was made by Sir George to sell Brook-hall to the ap-
pelletal. Meier Mill, representing as alleged that he held
under Sir R. Ferguson, Baronet, Major Leeky, and Mr.
' Alezander, upon leases for lives renewable for ever. Pend-
ing the negotiation, ejectment& at the suit of Sir R. Fergu-
son, were brought fur non-payment of tests and judgments
entered. Sir Robert areal, notwithstanding these Judg-
ments, on payments( all sneers, to grant a new lease or
leases for lives or years renewable for ever, upon the former
terms and conditions. Tile appellant, in his negotiations
with Sir George Hill, stipulated that he should be at liberty
to pull down • part of the hoses called the bsnquetting
room. It was ultimately arranged that Sir George should
hand over possession to the appellant, and assign leases
or assist him in obtaining leases or renewals in sealers-
tion of 1,0001., out of which was to be deducted what
should be paid for renewal. After various negotiations
leases wen granted to the appellant, and he entered
into possession in 1842 and held till 1846, expending mini-
ilmblit SAS im repairs and permanent improvements of the
house, and in the cultivation and management of the plan-
tations of timber on the lands. Sir G. 11111 died in De-
cember, 1845. The respondents filed the bill in 1846, set-
ting forth, inter ells, a marriage settlement of 29th April,
1831, of Sir George Hill and his wife, whereby the dr
mese lands of Brook-hell were conveyed in trust to permit
Hill to receive the rents, &c., during his life, with re-
mainder to his first and other sons in tail male. This set-
tlement was duly regi.tered in the proper °Hee for the
registry of deeds and wills in Ireland on the 18th August,
1831 ; the marriage win solemnised, and True thereof the
now respondent, Sir John Hill. The other respondents
were the trustees under the settlement. The bill prayed
that the appellant might be declared to be a trustee of the
bailie and land and of the terms contained is the leases
thereof for the respondent, Sir John Hill, and the other
parties entitled under the trusts of the marriage settle-
meats, and that the leases might be declared to be grafts of
the original leases or agreements foe lessee sailer or by
virtue of which the lands were held by Si, Osage Fitz-
gerald Hill and Sir George Hill, and that he might be dr
creed to assign to the respondents and to account. The
appellant answered that, at the time of his purchase, he had
no notice or knowledge that the lands, &c., had been held
under the leases or at all by Sir G. F. Hill, and at the time
of the execution of the leases to himself he bad no notice
whatever of the marriage settlement of 1831. The Lord
Chancellor of Ireland, on the 6th May, 1848, decreed that
the appellant was a trustee, that the leases were graft", and
that he should assign and account as prayed.
The appeal was argued at the bar of the house last
session.
_ . . .

Lord Truro, in now moving the judgment of the house,
went at verj, great length into all the facts, and into a
mina's examination of the various authorities bearing on the
points in dispute. He had no doubt that the Lord Chan•
eellor of Ireland was right, in bolding that in point of '
equity, Sir George Hill had made a settlement, and that the
property was bound by that settlement. Here, thee, there
was an equitable settlement, with which a subsequent grant
was inconsistent. The 4th section of the Irish Registry
Act (4 Anne, c. 2), gave priority under deeds registered
both at law and in equity over subsequent deeds. It did
not appear that there had been any judicial constriction
of that section until the decision of Lord Redeidsle in

" Bushell v. Bushel (Sch. and La. 90), holding that ac-
cording to the true construction of this section, and equity,
if registered, would prevail against any subsequent grant
inconsistent with it. Doubts on the point continued to be
held until the case of " Drew r. Lord Norbory" (3, Jo. and
Lat. 261), when Sir Edward Sugden fully *smarmed the
decision of Lord Holmdel.. The opinion of Lord lades-
dale was entitled to pest weight, and considering the length
of time for which the doctrine had prevailed, he thought
the house would be slow to bring that doctrine under doubt,
the more especially as it was confirmed by the high autho-
rity of the present Lord Chancellor. It must be taken as
settled law, and therefore, in his opinion, the judgment
appealed from was right. His lordship then adverted to an
olvetion urged with respect to the memorial of the decd.
hat it was required the memorial should show, were the
date, the names of parties, and the parcels; here it was
urged that they had added something more. This bad no
tendency to 'noised, but, on the contrary, to give an addi-
tional maim. It would be very strange indeed to bold
that this addition was to render the whole void. H. could
me so ground whatever for this contention, either on prin.
Mete or authority. Therefore he considered that so far as
swooned the settlement of 1831, it was sufficiently regis-
tered to satisfy the requirements of the act of parliament.
BM this Urns said the registration did not give it priority,
buses tba settlement of 1830 was not registered. He
mold wit Ammer any principle of law or any authority
which requital that deed to be registered; it could not have
conveyed way information material to this question. After

THE POLICE COURTS
GUILDHALL. _

A BErrtwo-orrton Cox, shipowner, of
SO, Newgate-street, attended before the sitting ma-
gistrate to make the following application: Mr.
Cox maid that about half-peat nine o'clock on
the previous evening the inhabitant* of Newpate-etreet
were greatly annoyed by a circumstance which oetaired in
two shops opposite his own house, an eel-pie shop and a beer
shop adjoining, which some time since started " betting
lists," on which many persons risked their money. On
Tuesday evening, u the parties found that the promises
which had been made were not fulfilled and that no money
was forthcoming, a dispute arose, Red a violent physical
struggle ensued. The fight continued for some length of
time and large crowds were collected in front of the two
shops. On the arrival of the policeman, who had been
fetched to quell the disturbance, he stated that he could
not take the combatants into custody. became they were
inside the house, and his instructions did not allow him to
enter or report the house in question to the omansirrioner.
These disturbances have been of daily matmenoe, but
nothing equal to that which took place on the evening in
question, sod applicant therefore wished to eall the magic
Crate's attention to the case, in order that the police might
receive such instruction as would enable them to interfere
on future occasions. _ .

Alderman Finals said be always undentood that a police-
man could enter any house it he knew that a disturbance
was taking place inside.
The inspector no duty said that if a constable beard the
cry of "Murder" in a house, he ass justified in entering
to metertain the cause.

Alderman Finnis said they never could expect to suppress
betting houws, if the police declined to interfere even when
they 6.w a fight going on in the shop. He would have the
constable before him and ascertain the extent of his in-

The constable having appeared, stated that the fight was
caused by the refusal of the owner of one of the houses to
pay his customer the amount won by betting upon a win-'
Ling horse. He (the constable) was called to disperse the
mob, and when he arrived, he found the two parties bug-
ging each other, and separated them.
Alderman Finals asked the officer what he would do if
he saw a fight in any of those establishments ?
The officer said he would take the parties into custody if
be saw them fighting.
Alderman Finals said he thought in such eases a police-
man should rather take a little responsibility upon himself
and bring the offenders before the magistrate, who would
severely punish them. However, ho would recommend
the officer to take the names and addresses of all parties
frequenting these houses, the publication of which would
do more towards totally suppressing them than any wee-
cite measures that he could adopt.
The sass was then dismissed.

MONEY MARKET.
WIDNESDAY EVININO.

The English funds were rather flat to-day. In
Consols the depression was only to the extent of an
eighth per cent., but Reduced Threes receded to 101,
although supported by the purchases on account of
the Sinking Fund, and the Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. were sold se low as 1011. This depression
appears to have excited some degree of surprise, es-
pecially from its occurring contemporaneously
with the manifestation of a decided upward
tendency in the railway market. The flatness
in the government stocks, however, is mainly
attributable to the share settling now brought to
a termination. Besides the usual sales of stock
made to meet the " differences " and other

companies, which amounts for this month alone to
1,247,8401. The amount called in the first seven
months of 1850, 1851, and 1852, is shown below :

The market for mining sioaeTiCciiyl;;agai'n
been very brisk, and dividend shares continue in
strong demand. A main feature of the market is a
great rise in Alfred Consols, which have been very
extensively dealt in, in consequence of an improve-
ment in the mine reported to-day. The fluctuation
has been between 141 and 181, with business at all
the intermediate figures, and the price leaves off at
171 to 18. The prices at which sales have been
' made aro reported to us as follows by the most re-
' speetable brokers and dealers, but due allowance
must be made for the wide margin frequently exist-
ing in this variable market as between buyer and
seller: Alfred Console, 141, 11,

Private letters received in town speak in highly
favourable terms of the impressions produced on the

Tho annual general meeting of the proprietors of
the General Mining Association (Nova Scotia) was
held yesterday, when the report of the directors was
unanimously adopted, and the retiring directors and
auditors re-elected. A dividend of ss. per share
(3,0000 for the half-year was declared payable on
the 21st July next. The sales of coal from the mines
in Nova Scotia were not so large as usual during the
last year, but the current shipping scosoo had opened
very favourably up to the date of the last adnces.

accruing liabilities, it is believed that some rather
considerable changes of investment have taken place,
money invested in the funds being withdrawn to be
placed in approved railway securities. Investors ap-
pear to be sufficiently awake to the consideration,
which is of great importance with the actual prospects
of the money market, that the tendency of railway
property generally is towards a steady improvement,
the traffics and dividends rising simultaneously with
a diminution of charges; whilst, on the other hand,
should the
.golden flood continue, and the political
world remain quiet, there is every probability of the
national debt being carried up to a price at which a
reduction of the rate of interest will become practi-
cable. Another cause of the stationary or downward
aspect of the stock market is the sales that have
been made to complete payments in the Irish Incum-
bered Estates Court, the operators being in several
cases the great assurance associations.
