Mr. HART owed, that the injunction which
bad heels ransiored in this ease by the Plaintiff
ghoul I try dissolved. It appeared that the Plain-
tiff and his wife entered into a deed of separation
in the year 1814, and he agreed to allow her an
asimpty fur her life of four hundred pounds
per billit10), which we• to be secured am cer-
tain premises in Lincolii'm Inn-fields. and in
Durset-street, Manchester-►quare. The Defendant,
Custom is the serving trustee under the deed, and
N► case the annuity was not regularly paid, the
Trustees had the power of selling the tenements .11
raise money for the payment of the arrears. In
the year 1817. the annuity was in armor, and
the Defendant b Olt an ejectment, and ob-
tained possession of the house in Dorset-street,
and entered into an agreement to sell it to the
Defendant, Hooper, fur the sum of 0151. The
Plaintiff, by his bill, charged that this was •
allusive sale, that the saw to be paid was an in-
adequate price for the house ; and at the time the
sale took place the annuity was nut iii arras►,
and ou an es-parts application obtained an in-
junction to restrain the Defendant, Hooper, from
snaking certain alterations in the Premises. The
Defendants hid pm in their answers, denying the
allegations of the bill, and setting forth that the
Plaintiff had offered to sell the premises for 'similar
sums to the Defendant, Hooper, but a dispute
arose as to whom the purchase-money ought to be
pan!. Under those circumstances, lie, the Learn-
tif Conn-el, had no doubt but his Lordship would
