LAW IA 1 h.I.I.IGEACE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Liiicote's.les, lime 29.
TUT COUNTMS% Of 011140 ND, O. HUTCHINSON.
This ease, of which we gave the particulars. on
the part of the Plain.iff, in our Paper of yesterday,
occupied the Cott' t she whole of this day.
The ATTORNCT.CIENEaAL and Mr. HIALD, for
the Defendant, argued the case at great length ; they
contended, that inasmuch as the allegations in the
Plaintiffs' Bin were not supported by any evidence,
the Court could not enter tain the cause at all, nor
could the Lord Chancellor, consistent with the
rules of the Court, refer any part of it to the Master,
these being no proof to authorise such a proceeding.
On the face of the Defendant's answer, it appeared,
that he had succeeded his father as stestrerd to the
late Earl of Wandencords who had served hon.
faithfully, several years; in that espacity ; he him-
self had been upwards of 80 years in nis erirvice,
daring which time there never was any complaint,
or even a suspicion of his integrity. Tne Noble
Earl lived for several yens alter he granted the
lease to Mr. Long, and witnessed many of the im
prosiements which were made upon those lands.
He afterwards granted the lease in question to the
Defendant, and never attached the slightest fraud
or collusion upon him; that lease was now within
nine or ten years of expiring. and tire lands were
improved beyond all ponible expectation. Insteed
of there being any waste or negligence committed
by this Defendant, in less than twenty years the
rent-roll had been more than doubled, a fine man-
sion had been erected. four fast-houses halt, with
barns, stables, out-houses, &e dtc. ; so that, in point
of fad, these lands were of more then treble their
original value to the present Plaintiffs; and yet the
Plaintiffs now sought, not only that the Defendant,
who was upwards of 90 years of age, tottering into
the grave, should deliver up this lease to b.t caa.
celled, but beecme a tenant at will, relying upon
their mercy, after expending several thousands at
pourdt, in the improvements already mentioned, be-
sides reclaiming near WO acres of r.inor land, frogs •
barren waste, to become a cultivated sad proitabin
?red of land. The Plaintiffs never having replied
to this answer, nor brought forward any 'stools to
support the allegations rn the bill, the Learned
Counsel coutanded, that the Hill should be dismissed,
withont any reference to the Master.
Soxicuroa-G , in reply, cited several
CAWS in point, to slte.e, that in all itch cases, the
Court referred the matter to the Masters and it not
untreqnently happened. that maw: fads came out
urn such reference, that never could have appeared
s.i the first instance ; he, therefore, pressed SOT 4 re-
ference to the Master.
