COURT Or CllMiCalt ir, T ,1441. 19.
WRITE 11 WILLIAMS .11.110111211.
The whole of the time of the Court, this day, is
Yell as the greater part of the day preceding, WAS
consumed in reading exhibits, accounts, and coy-
-••..sondence of Mr. White, deceased, with the gen-
-1 nen concerned in the trust.
In the cmtrse of the proceedings, Mr. MANLEY.
sn eminent pra&itinner. and one of the trustees of
he deed in criestion, addressed the Court at some
!ength, in vindication of his own condittl, and that
if his colleagues, alleging that what was One by
hem beyond the letter and spirit of the deed, was
it the instance and approbation of sir. W. White
himself, and his brother, who attended to his inter-
ests in England.
the Loan CHANCELLOR observed, that nothing
could he more plain, than that, in many instances,
tbe t:tt .t was not couslutied in execution of the deed.
He, however, gave %Ir. Manley lull credit for the
statertwat re Ltd made ; a:,,1 would, himself, per-
haps, iv der similar ,:ircurtv.tances, have Afted in the
same manner. It V.',IS true, that whatever irregu-
larity to k place wi'h the concurrence and santiion
of Mr. While himself, cool ! not be well impugned
by the gentleman who now claimed as his represent-
ative ; but the same was net the ease with the other
creditors, who might apply to him for a bill, that an
account should be given of the manner in which the
trust was ',teemed. He added, at the same time,
that however uprightly Mr. Manley might have
co lii.lted himself, the last person in the world to
be a trustee of such a property, was ne who wa'•
concerned in it as an advocate. It was, he said, a
urnceeding which he could never countenance.
phis ca•ise is so complicated, and embraces so
many tranc,istioni, covering a space of 27 year;.
during which the trust has continued, as must make
it the subjett of several other hearings.

COURT OF KING's-11F4CH, VVLITMINSTSII, Nov. 19
The Term Grand Jury, for the County of Vliddle.
sex, attended this morning. at the sitting of the
Court, according to usual cu -tom.
Mr. Justice Gaon shortly addressed them.
The whole of the morning afterwards, WAS taken
up in justifying bail, elischargieg insolvents ; and,
when :nuir c•::12 d:iwn, in bearing law
arguments, wholly uninteresting to the public in
general.
t'he following one only, we think, necessary to
state :
ANDIMSOIII e. the ROYAL EXCIIANOR •SSURANCR
COMPANY.
This was an aftion uonn a Policy of Insurance,
upon a ship laden with malt, from Araterford to
Liverpool. The Plaintiff had made an abandon-
ment of the cargo .to the underwriters, and now
claimed a. for a vital loss.
The ship in question, laden with 1G,115 barrels
of malt, sided from Waterford en the 2dth of .14.
unary ; when at the mouth of the harbour, she
struck upon a rock, and went to the bi.tmm. On
the 31st of the same month, the owners, began to
raise some of the malt, and continued so to do till
the 45th of February. when the ship herself was
raised. According as the malt was recovered, the
kiln dried it, and about 931. wraith was saaredout
of the whole cargo, valued at 090. Upon the
18th of February, the assur .d made an abandon-
ment of the ship and cargo to the underwriters.
This anion was tried at Guildhall, the sittings after
last term, mid a nonsnit entered, subjea to the
question, whether the Plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover as.fpr a total loss, or merely for an average
4)4 .
Mr. Cc ANXT contended, at some length, that thu
Plaintiff was entitled to recover as for a total loss,
and cited malty cases in support of his proposition ;
but the Court were of opinion, that use aban fon-
ment of the ship and cargo was not made in time,
the Plaintiff having continued before and after the
abandonment, to recover the property as for his
own benefit. An ak•andorment should be made
with all convenient speed, which was not the pre-
sent, cast.
Mr. Closure pressed for a new trial, on the
grounds of proving the taa of the notice of ab in-
The COUR r thought, that if the Defendants could
be prevailed on to waive the tine of notice, it might
go to a new trial. But, Mr. PARKA., for the Ile-
leadanfs, refusing,
Judgment was made absolute for the Defendants,

C ANON I'LEAS.--N.,,ausio if.
An immense arrear of businect, red tting to Sees,
being in the Chirographer's Office, to consequence
of the negleA of the last officer, an application was
some time back made, nn the part of tae Custos
Brevitim, who was untble to get through his busi-
ness, on account of the deficiency nn the part of the
Chirographer. Tim. was allowed by the Court,
on the Chirographer's promise to make every ex-
ertion in the course of the last vacation ; a quantity
of businea being still undone, a fresh application
was now made, and, after a short discussi.,n,
Sir A seas NiA sr limo observed, that there were
faults on both sides ; and ordered, that two addi-
, tinnal clerks should he employed in each of the of-
fices, for the poryse of getting through the busi-
sus as speedily as possible.

This case, which we noticed at some length a
few days luck, whets the rule was obtained by tier-
jeant Lass, on the part of the Yetendant, for the
Plaintiff's to s.iew cause why they should not re-
ceive their principal without interest, was this day
argued.
The anion was brought by the Plaintiffs, as•
Trustees for William Blain, to recover ‘41,5901 lent
by William, to his brother Thdmas Blair., un the
warranty of the Defendant. Thomas Blain we.
examined on the trial for Mr. Thornton, and stated
the money to have been paid ; but his evidence
being contradiSed, the Jury gave a verdift for the
Plaintiffs, allowing them principal and interest,
which amounted to a sum of 4,00.1 and upward.
Serjealt Lees, on a former Jay, appli*d to set this
verdict aside, but the Court refused th.tt Rule, al-
lowing him to take out with rasped to the isal-
lowance of interest. the Learned Serje.uu now
tuknaitted, that the rulaaies should In allowed ; as, -

discharge that. lie hoped also. the Court would
consider. that interest was not. payable untd the de-
mand was InAde•
Set jeant Str craven, on the other side, urged, that
the state of the account could gmly be ast-erta.ned
by the affidavit of Mr. Thomas Warn, and he sub.
mitted the Court would net rive credit to the affi-
davit of a man, whose testimony. on the. trial, the
Jury disbelieved. It would be impossihie, he con-
ceived, that a man, who. on the trial, swore one
t.l deprive his brother of the whole of his de
mand, and was disbelieved, should now he allowed
to swear almost the contrary, to deprive him of a
part of it.
Serjeant Leos observed. that in the account, as
drawn oat by William Blain. the mrsney appeared
to be due ; but, as he had charged compound in.
tet est. and only allowed f.,r dollars at par, he hoped
the Court would refer the accounts to the Protho-
notary, to see how much was doe.
The Court, on c )nsideration, ordered the secortnts
to be referred to the Prothonotary. to ascertain
whether compound interest ought to be charged,
and at what rate dollars should be valued The
Defendant agreed to pay ov•rr ;
