Sir A. PIGGOrT stated, that tine was the Teti.
tiros of the Plaintiffs, two of the trustees under the
will of the lute Duke of Nlatll )))))) sigh, and also of
tlw other trustee, the Defeatlate, Blackstone, pray-
ing that it might he referred to the Nlaster to in..
(owe and report what othateniews were necessary
to be made in the rents to the tenant* of certain
estates, which were vested in them as trustees, and
also that the Master should inquire and report what
repairs were necessary for the lieu, lit of the estates.
Ile, the Learned Counsel, did not think it nerve-
vary to occupy the tune of the Court by stating the
petition et leogth, us th- circumstances of the case
were already known to his Honour. After a re-
ceiver to the estates had been appointed by the
Court, it was relit to the Muster to inquire and
report whether the triplets had the power of grant-
ers.; Nests; and the Master reported, that in the
will of the noble testator, there were ,Rectal provi-
sions fur. granting leaser, Auld recommended that
two leases should be grunted by the trusters, one
for the estate appertei 0000 ig to Merton College, and
the other to the estate adjoining Corpus Christi
College, Oxford. He was ut a loss to kosow what
objection could be taken to a reference to the
Master, on wind, account he would refrain front
making coy further observations uutil he heard the
ground it was opposed on.
Mr. HART URI lie appeared as counsel for the
Defendaut, Mr. Blackstone. and he was instructed
to support the prayer of the petittun.
Mr. WZTHE'RELL stated, that be was counsel for
Susie, the present Duchess of Nlariburrough, mid
hr was instructed to consent to any order his Houour
might please to make.
Mr. BELL said, he was counsel for the Noble
Defectlatit, the Duke Of Mao ilioroitigli, lie
could not perceive what use the reference to the
Master could be, or that benefit could be obtained
from it. His Noble client resisted any abatement
of the rents being atade, on the ground that if the
presets'. tenants refused to pay the advanced rents,
other tenants might be procured who would be
happy to pay them.
Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT that the late Duke,
before his decease, had abated some of the rents of
the tenatits, end the question now VINIS, whether the
Nlaster should inquire whether tire abatements lie
had made were proper. If it was sent to the Mas-
ter, the Noble Delendwa would have the opportu-
nity of shell/nig before bite whether the abatements
were, or weir not, beneficial to the ratters. Ile was
at a loo• to see. nifiler throe circumstances, why the
reference to the Master should be resisted.
Hie Honour the NIASTEIt of tie Rot.t.s—" The
trustees certainly have the power of grouting leaser,
from time statute of their office."

Mr. BELL—•' With all deference to your Ho-
noises opinion, I much doubt it."
Sir ARTHUR PIGUOTT—" There can be no doubt
wlien the testator vested the trotters with the estates
for three hundred years, and appointed the spe-
cific duties they bid to perform. He could not,
therefore, have intended that they should nut have
the power of granting leases."
Mr. BBLL raid, that it would be considered that.
the receipts of the estote were ustich more than
sufficient to pay what the trustees were hound to,
do, and the tenant for life being entitled to tins
residue, it was his right to resist oily abatement,
Mr. HART" The trustees are hound by the
decree of the Court to protect the estates, told they
would be acting coutratry to their duty, if they were
to permit good tenants to he lost fur the want of a
reasonable abatement in their rent., fur the purpose
of taking
.experintental tenants; therefore it was
necessary that it should be sent to the Master. If
the Noble Defendant could "hew before the Muster
that he could procure ut:exceptionable tenants, who
would give the full rein', the Master, of course,
would attend to it, and repot, ucconditigly."
Sir A al Unit Ptoriorr sold, the Defendant, Black-
stone, our of the trustees, acted as tte«ivrr of the
...States before the Court hod appointed its own.
It was riot necessary for his Honour to be told that
the encunibrancers were to hove the precedence of
the Noble Defetithnit's claim : b-sutra, there was the

The Defendant. Blackstone, in his tail evit, set forth
that he believed the lands had been let beyond their

Mr. BELL—" lii such cases as the present the
Lord Chancellor always was unwilling to make a

but his Honour, the late Master of the Rolls, hat- li '
ing made a different decision, his Lordship took it
for a precedent. If his Honour sent thia to the
Master, it would certainty form a new precedent,
as it regarded leases and the validity of rents; par-
ticularly so in this case, :as the trustee. had nut the
• •
power of granting leases." Y
Mr. HANSON followed on the sam - side, :
The SI ArrEa of the R0t.1.4—.• I canna See, '
Mr. Bell, how you make out your position; it is
certainly off.ired to be contradicted by the other

of granting leases."
Mr. BELL—" I must contend, that, as the Noble ii:11
Defendant is tenant I'm life, that the right of grout-
ing leases is only vested in him." i'''' 1
Mr.HuaNte counsel for the receiver, said he was ld . :
convinced that the opposition to the (*ilium wait •
founded on mistake,fue the very word. of the decree
of the Court chewed that it was utterly impossible
that the Noble Defendant could be considered, as
Mr. Bell coutended, as sad furls tenant far life in
possession with a power of graiiiiiig leases. The
Court having appointed a receiver, pio.eil the

Noble Defendant had any such power. It was
therefore the duty of the receiver of the Court to

hiqtosical engraver, and resided in thejlouse of the
Defendant, a carpenter. Having ordered home a
piece of furniture, on the 18th of April last, the
men in currying it op stairs, slightly damaged the

CO, alleged to be due to the Plai,uuH tor a pair of
keracytuere and a thor or leather paw alooim, fur-
to the Defendant, in February. 1811.
Philip Davis stated, that he worked *ith the
Plaintiff, and measured the Defendant for the ar-
ticles, which were sent to Mr. John Shell, Bury-
street, St. James's. The Defendant wrote the or-
der in • book, but he had slot brought it with hint.
The witness underwent • long cro.s.examination
by Mr. MAKENNIS, as to the identity of the De-
trodaiit in ciis cause. Witnems described him is a
man of about five feet ten inches in bright—but be
kora' nothing further shout him.
Philip Howell, book-keeper to the Plaintiff.

lie promised to settle the account he received

SLANDER.
kr.exststme v. DAVIS.
This action "as brought to recover rompensa-
lion in dainages for certain alesiderous words, spoken
of and concerning the Plaintiff, by the Defendant.
r. GURNEY stated the ease, as it was afterwards
detailed in evidence by Sarah Berthulet. It ap-
peared horn her statement, that the Plaintiff had
been subpoenaed as a witness in the Court of King's
Bench, in July, 1817. The Defendant was also
connected with the cause in which Alexander's evi-
dence was vegan-ed. After the trial, the Plaintiff
returned to Lewisham, at which place Mrs. Bertho-
let resided, vslwre lie was accosted by the Defend-
ant with the following abuse :—" You are a liar—a
false-swearing, perjured mars—and I can prove it."
One or Mrs. Bertholet's servants asked, " Whom
do yoo mean, Davis ?" when he answered, " I
mean Alexander--ti perjured /meal."
Crospexamined by Mr. ScAttLETT.—Witness is
■ widow; and employs Alexander to overlook her
workmen. Alexander was by trade a butcher, but
he was also a good surveyor. Witness could not
judge whether he was a good surveyor of men and
women. She was the person who brought an action
for words in that Court. Alexander and Davis were
both siihpusinied as witnesses. She did not know
but Davis might have applied at her house for his
expenses; but she never heard Alexander say "He
was a white-livered rascal," for not swearing as far
as he wished. Btvke and ‘Vyburn were the At-
tornies both in the former and in the present case.
Witness knew nothing of any intention of indemni-
fying them for their costs. She certainly bad given
no such promise. Alexander had, some time since,
taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. She never
said " she was determined to ruin Davis, and not
leave him a shirt to Isis back." Davis was a baker,
and lived next door to her at Lewisham. _ _

Mr. SCA MATT said, there was an old adage,
very applicable to tins case, viz. " That one good
turn deserves another." This butcher, who over-
looked Mrs. Be►tholet's work►nen, appeared as a
witness in her favour, when she brought an action.
for words, by means of wh►ch she recovered ■ ver-
dict, and it was but fair that the lady should now
stand forward to repay the obligation, and, in turn,
to sti:iport his action. The Learned Courted,
however, flattered himself that he should overturn
this deep-laid although Mrs. Bertha-
leteri action had effected the ruin of one family,
that of her friend and confidaut would not succeed
against another.
James ['erring stated, that he heard Alexander
declare, that he would ruin Davis—and strip even
the shirt from hi!- hack. _ . .

Edward Burford deposed. that Mrs. Berth°let
slid to him, •' She would ruin Davis, if possi-
ble, and not leave him a ►hirt to wear." He also,
at • subsequeut period, heard Alexander say he
would ruin the Defendant.
