TEN Or Lownew O. DIM( AID PIROSOKI.
This was an application for an injunction by Mr. Put Luirour,
on the part of the Sheriffs of London, to restrain dm defindaltio
from proceeding in a suit at law. It appeared that the defending
Prosser had obtained a writ of *el facia. upon the goads ea per.
Ann of the name of Greasy. and was about to remove them under
this writ, executed by the Sheriff's officer, when the other defend.
ant Dean laid claim to the goods, and stated that thel were
property, haring lent them only to Greaty's 'rife. The so:
were, however m , rooed by the Sheriff's offietr, and Mr.
required the delivery of them up to him. An agreement was old.
mately entered into, by which Mr. Dean was to have the
sinn of the goods upon payment of the sum of edl. Both Cre's
fendahis had no* instituted proceedings at law against the Sheriffs
and it was now prayed that the 'mount of the goods sold Might b 6
paid into the hands of the Accountant-General to abide the dire&
'ions of the Court, and that the proceedings at law might in the
mean time be restrained by injunction.
The Loan CHA ICE L LON thought this application was one of
an uncommon and dangerous nature, and he recollected no prow.
dent Mt suit a lumina.

Mr. 1'1111.1.114011E said, that the Vie--Chancellor had mad*
an order under nesrly similar circumstances; but he confessed ha
had been unable to find any other precedent tnr the application.
The Losti Cnalictxt.on observed, that the Sheriff dwarf
seized goods at his own peril, and If he were to be relieved front
thin responsibility by the intervention of the Coutt, theft walla be
no safety for the goods of any man ; even those of Mr. Inglliateme
himself might be seized without impunity, and there maid be ato
redress. His bordship then asked if any Learned 'Conned
collected a precedent for such an extraordinary motion as tbs
present ?
Mr. Hoak,: believed that the motion woo a completely nogg
one. If the Sheriff' had acted rightly he would not them mules
the protection of the Court, and if *tangly, be certainly was not
entitled to it.
