The Saturday immediately preceding the Derby is always an
Important one in turf circles, the process of comparing bets, in
many instances an unwelcome one, being the ostensible object
of assembling In the subscription room on that day. Lord Lyon
was stiff firm at 6 to 4 offered, 7 to 4 to money being sought
for in rain. 5 tot was procurable about Rustic, but he failed to
command any patronage at those odds, although at 3 to 1
he would have met with strong support. After 100 to 6
had been booked several times about Blue Riband, we
saw 15 fifties" accepted, which was his closing price.
Abergeldie did not look so well as at thaVictotia Club an hour or
two previously. 2,000 to 100 waylaid at first here, but subse-
quently 2,200 to 100 was offered, and we did not see this name
written again undil 1,000 to 40 was proffered and instantly
accepted. The anxiety to back Lord Glasgow's " lot" was cer-
tainty the feature of he afternoon,the Toxopholite colt being the
principal medium. Ms opening price was 1,000 to 2.5, which was
taken four times, but the disposition to get on " induced layers
to reduce their prim to 33 to 1, which was booked to Ll2O. The
Stabber was decidedly on the go, and although the Bribery colt
was at one period threatened with being utterly knocked out be
rallied at the finish, when 1,000 to 15 was taken. Closing prices
at 6 p.m.:

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MAy 11.
APPEALS.

Before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Wensleydale, Lor
Kingedowu, and Lord Westbury.)

RIR J. W. R t3ISDLN AND OTHERS V. DYSON AND OTHERS.

This was an appeal from an enrolled decree of Vice-
Chancellor rituan, made in a suit of Thornton v. Hama-
den. The appeal was argued in June of last year, and
judgment postponed. The appellants are Sir J. W. Rams-
den, late M.P. for the West Riding of Yorkshire, who is
tenant for life of certain estates situated within the town
of Huddersfield and its immediate neighbourhood ; his
brothers, who are respectively interested in the estates
under the will and a settlement of part of them executed
by their father ; their mother, the widow of the testator ;
and certain trustees under the will and settlement. The
respondent Dyson claims to be a mortgagee of Thornton,
the plaintiff in the suit, and was a co-plaintiff with him,
and the other respondents are the assignees of Thornton
(who became bankrupt after the decree was made), who
obtained the usual order to carry on the proceedings. The
question involved is as to the right of Joseph Thornton,
the plaintiff in the suit, as against the defendants (the
appellants), to have a lease granted to him of two separate
properties, parts of the Ramsden estates, being a dwelling-
house and outbuildings and gardens at Paddock, in the
pariah of Huddersfield, in the county of York, for a term
of sixty years, renewable every twenty years, according to
the system of tenure called and known as " tenant
right tenure," or "at will," alleged to have been for
many years past established and known in Hud-
dersfield and the neighbourhood, being a system
of erecting buildings on the Ramsden estates by persons
without having leases granted to them, but on the
understanding that leases for sixty years, renewable every
twenty years, would be granted to such persons when they
required such leases. According to the respondent, it was
on the faith of this custom, as well as by special agreement,
that he erected buildings on the land belonging to the
Ramsden estates, and that the tenant for life, SirJ. Rams
den, had no right to give him notice to quit as a tenant at
will, but should have granted him a leiter, for sixty years.
The appellants denied any contract, express or implied, to
this effect, and wetted that the system or custom of
tenant-right tenure, set up by the respondents, was
not proved, because Sir J. Ramsden had no power
under his father's will, or in any way, to grant such leases
as were required. In brief, the suit, which was for an in-
junction to restrain the appellant from bringing actions of
ejectnient, is instituted to decide whether the tenants on
the Ramsden estates at Huddersfield, in which are com-
prised the greatest part of the town, are tenants at will or
not.

The Vice-Chancellor declared that the plaintiff before
him was entitled to have inch a lease as be asked granted
to him, and his Honour's decree having been enrolled the
present appeal was brought.
The Attorney-General, Mr. Bacon, and Mr. Chapman
Barber appeared for the appellants; Mr. Malin', Mr.
Daniel, and Mr. Nalder for the respondents.
Judgment was now delivered.
The Lord Chancellor, on a full consideration of the
evidence, was of opinion that the circumstances under
which the tenancy accrued were not such as to justify the
claim of the respondent to the lee,* he sought to obtain.
The decision of the court below ought to be reversed, and
the appeal allowed, but without costs. He had received a
communication from Lord Brougham, who had heard the
ease, who concurred in opinion with him.
Lord Wensleydale and Lord Westbury concurred with
the Lord Chancellor.
Lord Singsdown differed in opinion.
