defendant Wild that although the plaintiffs might be

lag might interfere with their personal comfort sad
cossuatence, yet ea it appeared it was sot
the intention of the plaintiffs so occupy the houses them-
selves, and that they purchased merely as an investment,
therefore the wart would not interfere. When the objec-
tion was Nut started, he was much impressed by it, but
upon further consideration he was of opinion that it ought
not to prevail. If it were allowed to prevail, there would
be nothing to prevent the defendant from building a deed
wall within an inch of the plaintiffs' ancient windows, and
!docking them up completely. Besides, the plaintiffs might
alter their minds, mid determine to reside on the premiss ;
and moreover it appeared that only one of the plaintiffs,
Mr. Wilson, had expressed his intention not to reside on
the premises, and there wee no evidence whatever as to the
intention of the other plaintiff, Mr. Stoddart. The remain-
ing point was a winewhat peculiar one. The defendant
said, Assuming that your ancient windows as you call them,
were motioned in their original position, you might
be entitled to the eminence of the court, but
you have not let them remain in their °Me-

TIMES V. RIME&

Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr. G. L. Rummell. and Mr. Bealiby, of
the common law bar, appeared Bettie plaintiff to the wit,
which was instituted by Mr. C. C. Elwes, of Great BLUM&
in Northamptonshire seeking to rectify • re-settlement ex-
ecuted in the year 1856, of certain large estates, of which
the plaintiff was tenant for life under the settlement, and
the defendant, V. D. M. C. Ewes, tenant in tail, on the
ground that • charge of 100,000 f. ou the estates in
fare— • of the plaintiff's daughters In the meat
of the defendant dying without issue had bee. omitted from
the settlement. The plaintiff alleged that it wee agreed
on the occasion of the settlement of the estates that all
subsiding charges ea the estate (of which the 100,0001. ia
question was cos) should be inserted in the settlement.
Mr. Hahne, Q.C., Mr. Bacon, Q.C., Mr. Cracknall, and
Mr. Bristow., for the defendant, submitted that the estate
tail of the defendant prooded the charge In favour of the
plaintiff's daughters, and that the estate tail having beau
the contingeat charge in favour of the plaintiff's
daughters had amid to exist.
The case was only part heard when tho court rose.

This snit mare oo for judgment ; it was argued saw
time since, when • report of the facts and arguments ap-
peered in oar journal. The plaintiff claimed under Ids
mother, who was the daughter of the Earl of Shrewsbury,
OM ball of the real and personal state (not being entail
property) of the late Earl John of Shrewsbury, and to be
entitled, if necemiu7, to come in as • creditor on the estate
to that extent. This claim wee based upon a contract made
to anticipation of • marriage, which afterwards took place,
between his mother and the Prinoe Antony Bombes.. The
whole question turned upon the fifth dame of
Sin contract, which was in the following_ words :
" 50. Oltre Is rude. dote come costituita, Sus Ecoallensa fl
Mgr. Coate di Shrewsbury manna Ono da ore • tits&
parimente di Dote alla Sega. Spina use portico. usual.
agh altri Eredi in concona nella di lid Eredita libra, de-
purate da debit, a Legati, di cud poem.. mere cravats al

of the clause :—" 5. Over acid shoes the aforesaid dowry

maim from Bin moment likewise the title of dowry to the
Lady Bride, a potties equal to the other heirs in caimans
in his free inheritance (eredita attired
from the debts and legacies with which it night
be charged at the moment of the vocation."
There were several suits, but the principal defendants wen
the executors of Earl Jobe. The fact of the cam, and the
rounds of defence, are fully explained in his Honour's judg-
ment. It is only neminary to add that., subsequent to the
contract in question, • second, and in some respect. more
formal, instrument woo executed, which contained the
following clue:—"Oise: oonservato per patio expresso

The following is • translation of the clause :—"There le
preserved by express compact to the Lady Bride the
tight of coeucesesion to the inheritance of her father ac-
cording to the jos commune."
Tim Attoroey-General, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Bolt, Sir
Hush Cairns, Mr. (;iftard, Mr. Flemming, Kr. Die:theme's,
Mr. Wickes, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Bowyer, and Mr. Ellison,
appeared is the case.
The Vice-Chancellor said that this case came en upon a
question which involved the construction of the sth clause
of • contract made in anticipation of the marriage of the
daughter of the Earl of Shrewsbury with the Prince Sorghum.
The principal dates and facts were these. On the 7th
Marcia, 18.35, the contract in queotiou was executed • ft
was a preliminary contract, and wasin fact followed
by two inetruments, the one made publicly before
a notary, and the other privately. Subsequently to these
trauvuctions the lady became the wife of the Prime
Borehole. In 1840 she died, leaving four eons, since dead,
and ow daughter, the wife of the present plaintiff, the
Duke di lima. Such were the facts on the side of the plain-
tiffs. On the other hand there were them dates : the will of
Lord Shrewsbury, dated August 21, 1845, and his
which occurred on the 19th November, 1652. By bitstA
Lord Shrewalswy gave • large number of legacies. Now
the CAM put forward by the plaintiff was that. Mani biliZ

estate freed hem the payment of debts sad legitetes. When

by the decree that an inquiry should be aside whether ac-
cording to the law of the Rosa states the instaumeat Is

This inquiry the chief clerk, by the consent of all isit

ground was, that a clause in the subsequel settlemeM
operated as a revocation of this. This clause, Moira se the
neat conserve!. clause, was much relied upon, net it did

which was kluctd in support of this view, that this Celliall-

This was a special ease, and the question raised for deter-
-I:nineties is whether the plaintiffs are entitled by their act
to exact different rates of toll from different vessels landing
pat their pier. By the act the company
exceed a toll of 2d. per passenger in any case, and their
practice has been to exact a penny per bead for every. pea.

London Steamboat Company, whose vessels happen Wpb
' the longer distance, than to their rivals, the Loon and
Westminster Company
Mr. Lush, 14. C. (with whom was Mr. Needham), argued
that as long as the plaintiffs kept within the maximum rate
allowed by the act, they were at liberty to vary their
charges ea much as they pleased between different com-
panies or different individuals. The act contained no
equality clause. for it was passed before each clauses bad
boo bawd of.

that, ma the &flaky M railway cases as there was ambiguity

mid the company were to take tolls, which abonkl be from

meant the company would have to we public nies of the
tolls which they intended to levy. t was, not
within their authority to levy a different rate of tdL in
different oases.

Their lurdiidge took time to consider their judgment.
COBSITT r. WHERLIM

Mr. Cobbett now appeared in_pereon, brought up on ha-
beas corpus from the Queen's Prison, to move for a rule
calling upon the defendant to show cause why that p art of
the judgment in the case of Cobbett v. Wheeler which re-
kted to execution for the mete of the action should not be
at aside, on the ground that the Turnpike Acts did not
rovueuicagoste is the action. The action was one of ejectment
by him spinet the trustees of certain turnpike
tolls. He brought the action in the capacity of mortgagee
of the toils, but at the trial he did not come prepared with
the main of proving his title, and so he was nonsuited.
Per the oasts of the action be had been in prison ever
Maas.-that ia, for over four years.
After some consideration,
The Lord Chief Justice said Mr. Cobbett might take •
tale.

The court ruled that the question was inadmissible.
The learned doctor then informed the court that Miss
Shedden wished herself to examine the next witness.
The Judge Ordinary remarked that the nee was being
conducted In a very singular manner.
Kr. Bolt Wed whether it was being conducted in a man-
ner that the court would allow.
The Judge Ordinary had lam difficulty in allowing it, ha-
wse both he and his learned brethren were not without ex-
perience in hearing and weighing evidence. His own dated
back nearly forty years, and his learned brethren were very
little his union.
1)r. }Ullman said he was ready to examine the witness,
though no doubt Miss Shedders was better acquainted with
the ease than he could pretend to be.
Kiss Jean Ralston Shedders was then sworn and examined
by Mies Shedden. She said—l was born in the city of New
York. lam 68 years of age. My father was Mr. William
Sudden, a merchant in New York. The maiden name of
my mother was Anne Wilson, her married name Anne
Shedden. I have a distinct remembrance of my father and
mother. I have a perfeet recollection of their house. My
father's office was on the first floor, and the nursery on the
third. The furniture was such as any gentleman's would
be if be lived in good style. I particularly remember a
musical dock ; it was like one I afterwards saw at Mr.
Jelin Patrick... I bad an elder sister, named Annabelle.
I had a brother about two years younger than
myself—the petitioner. My father had a count house
at a short ffistanes from New York, called Kingsbri .We
had several servants. As children we were taken down to
dessert every day, whether there was company or not. My
soother was always at the head of the table. I never heard
her spoken of in any other way than as Mrs. Shedden. The
servants called her mistress. John Patrick was constantly
in the house, and we were in the habit of calling him cousin
John. I always thought he lived in the house, till my sister
Annabelle corrected use in after years. Ladies need to come
to the house as well as patience. I remember Mrs. Bard,
the wife of Dr. Bard, our family physician, Mrs. Judge
Pendleton, His. Alexander Hamilton, and Mn. Alex-
ander in particular. My father was tall, thin,
sad exceedingly dignified in his demeanour and manner.
, He was kind to his children, and very courteous to every-
one. My mother was reckoned very handsome ' • she we.
very gentle, sprightly, and kind. She was very particular
in teething us our players. My father had a pew at
, Trinity Church, and I remember going there. I remember
his death, and being taken to bid him farewell. At the
funeral there was a large concourse of carriages and people.
I had a brooch in which my father and mother's hair was
united, and it had their initials in the glass, " A. W. S."
My sister was sent to a celebrated school of the Moravian
at Bethlehem. I was also sect there in December, 1799.
Iki. M mast took me in the summer of 1801 to the packet
to New Haven, on my way. to school at Lich-
Ounnecticut She put me in the charge of,
ve, the treasurer of the United kinks,
Dr. Hawk. one of my father's executors, and Judge Pen-
dleton went with us to thiit. I never saw my mother
She had a sister Margaret, who was married to Mr.
tt and who lived at Trinidad. My mother died about
1i99.. I never saw the ladies and gentlemen who visited my
mother treat her in any different manner from what I have
men other married ladies treated. John Patrick used to
treat her very properly. My sister was married to the eon
at Mr. Tapping Reeve, the son of the Chief Justice of Con-
necticut. She was afterwards married to Mr. Judson
Bower, of Richmond, Virginia.
Mr. Bolt, Q.C., submitted that as the elder sister had not
yet been shown to be a legitimate daughter of Mr. Shadelsa,
she could not be considered a member of the family, so as
to make her acts evidence.
The Judge Ordinary said:that that was so ; and after some
conversation, ho observed that u the time had come at
which the court usually rose the point might stand over.
On Thursday some gentleman from whom Mae Shedden had
not taken the papers might perhaps condescend to argue it
for her.
The case was then adjourned till Thursday.
