WiI.T.IAMS V. ocropcntLn.

His Honour, the Vice•(;hancallor, was occupied during a great
part of the day on a question arising from a claim of the Vier
f Hendon to tithes out of certain lands called the Woods of
Hostdon.

ft appeared that the lands in question were, from time imme-
notial, • part of the demesne lands of the Abbey of St. Peter,
Westminater, and were discharged of tithes by prescription, but
that the possession had passed from the Abbey for • certain pe-
riod. and had subsequently returned to it. The case was tried at
-Vizi Prier before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas,
and a verdict was found against the claim of the Vicar, but it was
now returned to be argued before his Honour, on the question whe-
ther the prescription was in the Abbey at the dissolution of it ?
Counsel for the. Vicar now argued that the general finding of the
Jury—that the lands were exempt from tithes—was inconsistent
the ending of the collateral issue, that the lands were out of
the possession of the Abbey since time immemorial.
TbeVicE-Cuaxcti.Lon said, it did not appear that the tithes
kw' been alienated with the lands; the prescription, therefore,
could not have been lost. If the tithes did not pass to a layman,
She monastery remained seised of them, and if the Judge assumed
Olathe tithes passed with the lands, he was wrong in point of fact.
in abort, it appeared that there was a misconception, both in fact
sad in law, as to the true point to which the Judge and Jury should
rave directed their attent,on ;he should, therefore, of necessity
grant a rule foe a new trial.
A
Mr. Sergeant Vauntrari, with whom were 111 r. Hoax r: and
Mr. SUDDEN, appeared in this case for the Vicar (Mr. Williams),
aei Hr. Sergeant BOaAIeQUET with Mr. HEALD for the tenant

the Commas Srase, a weekly paper, for a libel on Mr. Bunn.
The libel charged him with nsineicas practices, not indeed directly
but by implication, and by mixing up his name with those of per-
sons whose characters were stained by such imputations. The libel
did out occur in tie form of an ordinary paragraph, but it went
forth as the language of the editor. It appeared among the notice;
to carrenpondenta. The !reamed Counsel said that 31r. Bunn had,
in big affidavit, distinctly denied being guilty of the offences
insinuated against him.
The Cobalt granted the rule.
