HITCHCOCK v. THE DUES OF BueoItIOHAtf.—ISJVEC-
TION TO ELSTRAIN THIS SALE Or TISIBER DISSOLVED.—
Mr. Bethel' and Mr. Elmsley moved, on behalf of the de-
fendants in this cane, the Duke of Buckintsham and his son,
the Marquis of Chandos, to dissolve an injunction granted
ex parts, to restrain the defendants from selling, or offering
for sale, certain timber grossing upon the estates belonging
to them. It appeared that the plaintiff had advanced a sum
of 25,0001. to the defendants, who had granted him an an-
nuity of 5,0001„ which was charged upon the defendants'
estates. The titan s had previously been mortgaged for a
large sum, and the first mortgagee was not a party is this
suit. The deed under which the plaintiff's annuity was
secured was dated April 20, 1846. The defendants were
now in posses-ion of the estates, and by permission of the
first mortgagee they had advertised for sale a quantity of
timber upon their estates, and the plaintiff contended that
he was entitled to have some security that the money raised
by the sale of the timber ahould be applied in discharge of
the first incumbrance; for if the defendants were
allowed to take for their own benefit the produce
of the sale the plaintiff's security as the second
incumbraneer would be considerebly lessened. For the
defendants it was alleged that they intended to apply
the money raised by the sale of the timber in reducing the
charge of the lint mortEngee; that the sale was to take place
with the sanction of such first incumbrancer ; and that the
plaintiff had no ground fur sustaining the present injunction.
—Mr. Rolt and Mr. Gla•se appeared fur the plaintiffs.—The
Vice Chancellor said it was plain that the sale of the timber
was agreed upon and was to take place with the concurrence
and approbation of the first incumbraneer, and th►t it would
be for the benefit of the ignites to reduce the charges already
bearing heavily upon them. The estate had been allowed
to remain in the possession of the defendants, but not under
their control. It had beers stated that the plaintiff would
be satisfied if an order could be made which would bind the
defendants to apply the proceeds of the sale in discharge of
the Brat incumbrance. This could not be done in the present
suit, since the other incumbraocers were not parties to it ;
but the legal effect of the transaction would be,
that without any undertaking whatever the produce of the
sale must necessarily be set off against what might be due to
the first is cumbrances.. It was alleged, however, that the
principal incumbrancers had met together, and had agreed
that the sale of the timber should take place, and it was
evident that their object was, not to put money into the
pockets of the defendants, but to clear the estate of some of
the charges, and this would have the effect of improving the
plaintiff's security. If the plaintiff bad exercised his Inge-
r nuity he might have discovered this fact, and thereby the
I necessity of filing a bill would have been entirely done
away with, but as he hat acted in ignorance of what was
. going on he must take the consequences, and the injunction
, must be dissolved, with costs.

TER, SHRYTIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY COY•
Wigram and Mr. De hex moved
ex parte on behalf of the plaintiffs, as lessees under their act
of parliament of the Witham navigation for 909 years, to re-
strain the defendants from proceeding witk the construction
of an embankment upon lands belonging to the Witham na-
vigation, upon which it was alleged by the bill, end the affi-
davit in support of it, the defendante had entered without
having come to any agreement with the plaintiffs, or sem.
plying with any of the statutory requisitions enabling them
to enter upon the land. The affidavit stated that negotia-
tions had taken place last year respecting the purchase if the
land, bat without any result ; and that on the plaintiffs' soli-
citor being in Lincoln on Feb. 16 last he discovered the tres-
pass which was in the course of commission. It was further
stated that notice was given of the plaintiffs' intention to
he a bill and move for an injunction upon notice, but that
shim that time the defendants had increased their exertions
to complete the embankment complained of —The Vice.
Chanoeller granted an interim order restraining the de-
fendants in the manner sought till next Friday, with leave
to give notice of motion for Thursday next for an injunction
in theabove and other respects.
