COURT OF CHANCERY.

GLAMORGANSHIRE DOWLAIS IRON COMPANY.

WATKINS v. DIAVI.V..
Mr. StIODEN said he was instructed now to consent to the de-
livering up of the possession of these important works. agreeable
to the order made to that effect ; and he moved that the purchase
money which had been paid into Court by Mr. Bayley should be
returned to that Gentleman.

Mr. llanr, cc;tra, had no objection to the purchase money
being returned to Mr. Bayley, but he had to move that Mr. Bayley
should be ordered to par the costs of the motion that had been
made to commit him to the Fleet for a breach of the order of Court,
in nut having delivered up the possession earlier ; and also, the
costs of the application to stay the proceedings antll the appeal
could be heard.

Mr. StroDEX could not oppose the payment of the costs of the
motion to commit, but hoped the Court would reserve the con.
sideration of the costs of the application to stay the proxedings.
Mr. HART said, his Lordship had laid it clown as an undeviat-
ing rule in the case of " Within v. %Tian," that where a party
falls in a motion to stay proceedings until an appeal is heard, bestial!
pay the costs. And if this rule was not to be broken in upon, he
hoped to have the benefit of it.
His Lon Dirite said, from what had now passed. it was clear
that Mr. Sokien's client was retiring from his opposition, and cer-
tainly the I 'curt thought it would be better to have the important
part of the case disposed of first t therefore his Lordship ordered
that the possession should be delivered, that the prirchaae money
should be returned, and that the consideration of the costs in
dispute should be reserved for the present.
wastaten r. SUNOERLAND AND OTHERS.
Mr Hitat.fi said, the defendants were the executors of the late
Mr. Mills, a solicitor, and the plaintiff was a gentleman, who had
been a client of the deceased gentleman. As fir back as the year
1814, the plaintiff gave to Mr. Milli a warrant of attorney to die
amount of Itt,oool. for debts then due and to became due. Further
transactions went on; Mr. Farmer executed a mortgage to Mr.
Mills; Mr. Mills filed a bill to have the mortgaged property sold
Mr. Cooke was referred to, to take accounts between the parties,
which taking of aeceunts went on till about a month ago, when Mr.
Cooke gave notice to both parties that he intended to retire from
theprofession altogether, and therefore he could not complete the
arbitration. In consequence of that, the defendants have taken out
execution on the warrant for 10,080 f. and were proceeding, by vie.
tue of it, to take away a great deal of family plate, tic. although
the mortgaged property was sworn to be much more than would
satisfy their demand ; the present applicalon, therefore. was for
an injunction to restrain them from proceeding under the execution.
Injunction grated.
