(Before Vioe.Chancellor Sir It. T. Kinder,ley.)
SIOSES V. TAYLOIL—NOCK AUCTIONtI.
Mr. Clement Swanston moved for an injunction to re-
strain the defendants (ruin carrying ou the business of
"mock auctions," or any other offensive business at 148,
Leadenhall-street. The premises belong to Messrs. Moses,
and they let the upper portion to Messrs. Older, ship-
brokers, at • rent of 3101., and the shop and basement
floor to Mrs. Janet Taylor, one of the defendants, at •
rent of 160/. Mrs. Taylor is a nautical and mathematical
instrument maker, carrying on business in the Minories,
but she took the premises in Leadenhall.street, and a
lease for 21 years was granted to her in June, 1861.
She sublet it to • Mr. Jones (a muter mariner who is out
of the jurisdiction), and be, it appeared, had sublet to
another persons who are using the premises for the purpose
of carrying on mock auctions. The lease to Mrs. Taylor
contained • covenant by Mrs. Taylor that she would not
sublet the premises without the consent of the plaintiffs, or
carry on or permit to be carried on any offensive business.
. Toulmin, who appeared for Mm. Taylor, said she bad
done all she could to prevent the mock auctions being
carried on on the premises, but she was unable to prevent
it, as the parties in possession claimed under Jones. She
bad committed no breach of the covenant, inasmuch as
she had sublet to Jones before she obtained the lease, and
though she had not the written consent of the plaintiffs to
sublet to Jones, she bad their verbal consent.
The Vice. Chancellor said he thought he oughtnot to inter-
fere. Mrs. Taylor had entered into an agreement for • lease
with J ones before she executed thelesse onntainingthe stipu-
lations referred to. He could cot restrain Mrs. Taylor from
doing that which bad already been done. lie did Dot say
the plaintiffs had no remedy, but their remedy was not in
this court. The bill, sa against Mrs. Taylor, must be
dismined, with costa. With regard to Daubs, he did not
appear, and he should make no order respecting him.
