celled Bir 8. Romilluy:talre,sraying a reference to the Mas-
ter to inquire into a pro exchange of some of the land
of this charity sit in Leicestershire for other land.
which Sir A. Dixie was disposed to give to the charity.—
Mr. Hardy, in support of the petition, said the trustees of
the charity were of opinion that the exchange would be
greatly to the hew& of the charity.—The Lord Chancellor
sold be did nee ormaider that he bed jurisdiction to order the
sale or ashenge of charity property on petition, and asked
if there was any authority for it ?—Mr. Hardy referred to
the sees el" Pakes Charity " (12 Simons, 329), where the
Vice-Chsseslier ordered • sale of charity lands on petition in
Wainer larfolialetallese. He also relied on the general juris-
diction of the court over the administration of charities,
the prows& melange being dearly beneficial to the admials.

or exchange in the trust deed.—The Lord Coancellor, on
pawing the ease referred to, granted the reference.

Matron.—Fran ore Amstesune or Taieurrs.—This was
an appeal Ina an order of Viee-Chancellor Knight Bruce,
and was reseed on hursday by Mr. Bothell, Mr. J. Russell,
and Mr. Billeed der the appellants. It appeared from their
statuses% that is 1098 the then Lord of the Manor of
Hampstead embed morel pieces of land within that parish
to serude the then Negate, and by deed declared that
Inch hods should be held ter the benefit of the poor of the
parish es sepykeld term* with nominal fines on admis-
sions. In 1727 • deuces was mode by the then Lord Chan-
seller, declaring that finutent of the testate held these lands
se Mates for the charity, and ececediag to the custom of
the manor, and that *bassets that number should fall dews
Ito five, nine others should be admitted on payment of " res-
esnahles lass," according to the custom of the manor.
erase between the Lord of the Manor
=Plies temente in 1826 as to the amount of
the fines to be paid on admission of tenants.
Lad in 1827 an information was filed by the Attorney-
General at the relation of the letter against the lord
for the purpose of ascertaining and settling the amount of
the fines to be paid on filling up the vacancies in the trust,
and the information prayed that the fines should be declared
to be nominal, or at all ousts not to exceed 1,0001. for all
the trustees to be then admitted, that sum being one year's
value of the lands held by three then claiming to be admit.-
led. The defendant claimed two year's value for the first of
the nine, one year's for the second, half a year's for the third
—and so en, the whole amount exceeding 4,0001. Issue
were cuntt suit sent to a court of law to ascertain the pro-
per a of die fines, according to the custom of the
manor, and the only result was, after several trials. that there
was no fixed Custom. The cause came before the Lord
Chancellor in 1839, when his lordship expressed his °pinkie'
that it was the province of this court to declare what " rea-
sonable fines" meant in the decree of 1727. An application
was subsequently made to Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce for
a reference to the Master to settle that question, which his
Honour refused without the lament of defendant, who, in
his Humes opinion.was entitled to resort to a court of law,
if he insisted on it. The learned counsel contended that the
view so taken by the Vice-Chancellor was erroneous.—Mr.
Cooper (with whom were Mr. Walpole and Mr. M. Jame,
who were not heard), supported the Vias•Chanallor's order.
—The Lord Chasiellor, after hearing him out, said he cer-
tainly adhered to the opinion which he expressed in 1839.
The lad of the manor was sporty to the decree of 1727, and
was bound by its declaration, that the tenants, trustees of
the charity lands, should be admitted on payment of reason-
able fines. The decree amounted to a contract between the
lord of the manor and tenants, and this court that the
trustees should be renewed from San to time for the benefit
of the charity, upon payment of reasonable fines,
to the cutout of the manor : but it was not in the power
the lord of the manor to claim flees on more than nine ad-
isissioea, although more should be admitted. If the matter
was to be sent again to a court of law, the result might be to
overturn all that was done sines 1727, besides putting the
=to the costs and delay of further litigation. Abstain.-
ow, from giving any opinion on the question of amount
of fines, he would suggest to the defendant's counsel to con-
sent to the proposed reference to the Muter, to inquire and.
state what should be a reasonable fine, having re-
gard to the terms of the decree of 1727.—Mr. Cooper con-
sented to take the order of reference simply, without any ex-
-.ion of opinion by his lordship.
