At. &leant VAUGHAN stated, that Olio was an
actioh in ejectment directed under a hill sled in
khe Con. rt of the Vice-Chancellor, to try the ques.
•ven as to the legal title to a certain estate at Severn-
hy. The Plaintiff rod Defendant were sons of the
late Charles Brackenbury. Esq. it whose death
I.le eldest son took possession of the deeds of
the family, end amongst them the deeds re-
..iting to the property in question. The Learned
Serie:int understood that it was meant to be said,
'lot a (onset lance, by which the estate was acquired

a $ meant no more than to give him a coloarable
.tualt6eation for shooting. • Whatever might be at-
tempted to be stated in tins way, it would be
t.,,cligA for him tb show Met the legal title was in
the Plaintiff; and he should do that by proving
the execution of the conveyance, and that it the
Cote of it the title was iu Mr. Brackenbary the
fewer. . . .

late 11Ie. Brae!clammy of the hey(' conveying the

Mr. CLARKE was proceeding to question Mr.
Walker as to his having gained a knowledge of the
iniershoo with which the deed was exei:uted by Mr.

John IVaterman proved that Mr. Charles Brack-
eribury was at the date of the deed possessed of
vlie p►operty in question. He had bought
them of one Hansord, of Alford. Mr. Bracken-
bury died in March, 1816; at the Lady-day afier-
wards wittle.s received the rents no account of Mr.
Henry Breckenbury, by whom they had since been
received.

Fosillesiit VAUGHAN objected to this examination.
Chief Justice ABBOTT—." It does not signify a
farthing whether it is evidence or not. If the oh.
jeer was to give only a colourable qualification, the
perry executing the conveyance is nut the less bound
by it."
The cross-examination was continued.—Mr.
Fir.ickenhury said. that somebody was about to he
too.slesnme to Evelyn ns to shooliog ; witness ob-
served that Mr. 13. could prevent it; to which he
try;ied. .‘ You know I can turn something over to
hite that will qualify him." In July, 1816, Mr.
Evi:lyn Brackenhory and witness were riding to.
gr;her, when witness remarked to him, that by his
tallier's death he had got 4,0001. ; and that it
would he little enough fur a gentleman to live on ;
Mr. Evelyn answered that he could live oil goof. a

Mr. CLIME, fur the Defendant, Atli/111/Ma to
the Judge that according to the evidenre Mr.
henry Braekeinhury, the Plaintiff, stood in the
aituatiou of landlord, and that the Plaintiff could
not recover without giving the necessary notices to
the tenants to quit.
Serjearst VIIOOIEIIII expressed his surprise at this
way of simian • decision on a question directed
from the Court of Chancery. The Vice-Chalice'.

raMeret the ttial of this ejectment, and that every
facility to the inquiry should be given by both
