Ayrton thought that we might expect a developement
in many 'branches of Indian revenue, especially that derived

be effected both in the civil and military expenditure of
India. • .

SWINPEN r. SwlNFF.i.—Thi' extcaordinary will case
which has been so frequently before the public, came again
before his Honour the Master of the Rolls on Saturday, on
a question of costs: After' the second trial, which tookplaee
on the ground that the .present Lord Chelmsford and Sir
Alexander Cockburn had no power to have arranged, and
that Mr. Swinfen was not bound by such arrrangement ;
Capt. Swinfen hating filed a bill to enforce its performance,
the verdict being in fievour of the. will and adverse to Capt.
Swinfen, an application was made for a new trial, which
was refused ; and, on the final hearing of the cause, the
plaintiff's bill was dismissed generally, with costs. ; The
question now involved, was whether the plaintiff, the heir
at law, should be- compelled to pay to the defendant the
costs of so much of the bill as related to the real estate
After hearing counsel on both side, the Master of the Rolls
said, under all the circumstances of this remarkable and
peculiar case, although he had felt bound to dismiss the
plaintiff's bill, he thought the heir at law ought not to be
compelled to pay the defendant the costs of so much of
bill as related to the real estate, Order Accordingly,
