WATER COMPANIES.
J. WEAL, ESQ. S. THE WEST MIDDLESEX WATER
COMPANY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR came into Court at
half-past ten o'clock, and the hearing of 'hi. inn.
Lion was rearmed.—(For what passed we 'Phut.-
day. see this Pupa of yesterday.)
Mr. WlLaws (Counsel with Mr. Ilart), in con-
tiouution of his argument, said, he understood his
Learned Friends opposed to him called on him to
point not how the Court could have jurisdiction.—
The Defendants had held out, in the year 1810, to
the inhabitants of Alary-le-bione, that the rate for
the supply of water should never exceed that paid
to the old water companies; instead of which they
now demanded 25 per cent. shove it. Ile was
aware that an action brought by an individual
against the Defendants, whatever was its derit.tm),
would not bind others ; but it was in the power Of
a Court of Equity in give it that effect, which
was done in the case.of the Mayor of York v. Polk-
logien).
The LORD CHANCELLOR—is Can the Defend-
ants file a 101 l against an individual to oblige him
to take their water. If they cannot, where is the
mutuality
Mr. Pewstrrort, en the same side, paid, he was
sorry that this case came before the Court in an in-
complete state. The bill had been tiled for six
weeks, and the Defendants had not thought proper
to put in their answer, but had filed affidavits, by
which memos they had avoided answering the idle-
gallons of the bill. It was certainly a very impor-
tant motion, when it was considered that the De-
fendants claimed the right of not only making an
overcharge of tts per cent, but of 100 per cent. or
any other sum they pleased.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Is It is sin important
question as to the levying the additional rate of '25
or 100 per cent. ; but there is a question beyond
that, what ran I do with it under the construction
of this Act of Parliament ? and I put this last ques-
tion to you, Mr. Pemberton, for no otheripurpose,
on my honour, than that 1 know I may derive a vast
deal of information on the subject from you."
Mr. PENtscaTois, in continuation, said, that by
the 59th clause of the first Act, any individual,
with the consent of the Defendants, were at liberty
to fix their pipes leading into their houses to the
main pipe. Then the question was, where the De-
fendants had entered into contracts with individuals
for a supply of water, could they put an end to the
contracts altogether when they thought proper ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that by the
fist Act of Parliament the Defendants had the
power of severing an individual's pipe from the
main in default of payment. Then until the mu.
teal contract was entered into these was no obliga-
tion on either party. By the second Act of Parlia-
ment the Defendants were restrained from selling
any part of their property to another Water Com-
p:soy. The persons entering into the contract only
did it fur a short time ; could that Court then
force them to enter into a contract at all ? for the
supply of water to the different houses was not the
same, one individual might be satisfied to have it
introduced into his cellars, a second to leis ground
floor, and • third would wish it to be forced up to
the attics of his house ; then as to the qaantity of
the water, how was he to measure it, so as to say
this individual should pay only so much, and that
individual • greater rate, when he could nut force
the individuals and the Defendants to deal with
one another? As to what had been said about the
York Buildings and the New River Companies,
as to the dealings of the Defendants with thesis.
he had nothing to do with, or how they might
have been dealt with in a Court of Law, if a
charge of conspiracy was brought against them, it
was not for him to decide.

Mr. HEALD said, that the allegation in the bill,
as to combination of the Companies was cotnpleit ly
contradicted and refined by the Defendant's affi-
davits, it was only introduced into the bill for a bail

purpose.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in continuation, ob-
served, if there hail been a mutual contract for
twenty-cue years, the Court then could act. but
this was not of the nature of s farm that was let
from year to year. Before he could interfere there
must he a'n equity raised to enable him to decree
something, or an equity that would enable him to
order something, •nil decree nothing; he meant
that kind of equity that would justify him in direct-
iiig aortal at law.
Mr. PEMBERTON, in continuation, said, that by
the first Act the Defendants were allowed to sever
the ppe of an individual' from the main on the Hon-
payment of the rum mutually agreed on; the
second Act said they must supply the water for a
reasousble price: then they were Hot entitled to cut
off the pipe, because they demanded an unreason-
able price.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" You argue all along
as if a contract still existed, but you have oat told
me where I am to find the continuance of the con-
tract set forth in this bill. The great defect in the
second Act is, that it restrains the Defendatits front
selling their water works, but it dors not restrain
them from buying the water works of others ; by
the Act they are to supply water at a iessonable
rate, but suppose they refused to supply at all, could
this Court compel them'?"
Mr. l'estssitrox said, there were other provi-
sions iu the Act ; the Defendants hail the power of
cutting an iodividual's pipe from the main, in case
be waved the water.or game it away ; and although
there was no clause in the Act compelinig the
supply of water, the Act assumed that the water
would he supplied. At the time the Act passed
there was a competition between the Water Com-
panies, end by it the Grand Junction Company's's*
as much restrained front selling as the Defendants,
but if they afterwards eschanged district's, was it not
as much selling as if they parted with it fur money ?
lie cornesitled that when once the Defendants had
supplied au individual with water, they ought to
_continue the supply at a reasonable rate. He then
quoted the cast of Lane tr."Nudigate, which lie con-
sidered bore on the present ease. The Plaintiff
had no opportuuity of trying the question at law,
without the direction of that Court. The Dr.
(rodents could not suffer oily inconvenience from
bps Lordship granting the. injunction, at it nosh!

only restrain them frame terming I at 4 d 49
from the main, until the question was decided by a
Court of Law.
Mr. WETHERELL, Counsel for the Defendants,
said that the bill attempted to throw on the Court
a duly which it would not be willing to perform,
that of an assessor of the price of water. Ile recol-
lerted !miring read, that in Rome there was an
officer Ism • Ito elem.' the baths. .fie. whirls
was are office. lie was sore, hia Lordship would not
willingly undertake. Ile -expected smut that his
Lordship would be called on to ascertain what size
the burners in the gas lamp' should be. The pre-
split case was a very simple our. The Defendants
were dealers in water, and lied the right to sell it
at the best price they could obtain for it. His
Learned Friends had assumed that this was a similar
ease to a lessor and a lessee ; but it was sun such
thing, it was the case of a seller and a buyer, one
not forced to sell or the other to buy, which was
the meaning of the first Act of Parliament. Ile
knew of no instances of a public rate being esta-
blished by Act of Parliament, except those of
cattle carrying burdens on the public roads;
as to the second Act of Parliament. it con-
tained a clause which restrained the Defenderits
from selling their rights and privileges as
Company, and that they were only to take
reasonable wires for their water. flip Learned
Friends had comitrued !hit as if the Defesubsins
were not to supply the water morsel, but on
the words reationeltle rates, 111 if it had been it jots
puldicant, that every person must be supplied,
tint at a fixed price but at a reasonable rate.
IVith respect to the question of jurisdiction, if the
Court had any, it must depend on some private
rights. He perceived that the rase or the Mayor
of York v. PPringtoti, had 'been quoted by his
Learned 'Friends, which was not in point. for
there was a tommon right to a fishery. The other
case which hail been quoted, that of Lane v. N fedi-
gate, there was a private river, and his Lordship
granted an injunction, to prevent the banks of a
river front bring broken down, which would have
caused a Int. to en individual, by having the water
taken from Ilia mill ; but it did not bear on this
case. He would hold oat to his Learned Friends,
if their construction was right, that they ought
to apply to the Court of Fling's Bench for a
warrant of mandamus they had granted one
against Commissioners" who were authorised by Act
of Parliament to enclose lands. lie contended that
the principle of the first Act of Parliament was
left untouched by the second. Upon the question
of the jurisdiction of the Court, there had been no
nuthorry stated to Phew that it was vested in his
Lordship. Ile would a'k what would it end in if
his Lordship was to direct an issue to try what was
the reasonable charge for a supply of water to an
individual, for no farther could the Court d rect it;
if it was granted his Lordship would hare to grant
the same issue to every individual in the 12 parishes
of the district, and there would be no end to issues.
Mr. WILSON stated, that his Learned Friend had
net informed the Court which of the Members of
the C. nniittee of the House of Commons were
share-holders in the West Middlesex %Vatter Com-
pany, or who the Noble Lord was that caused the
Bill lobe throve!) out in the House of Lords.
Mr. WETHERELL, to emstionatimi„ said it was
the first time he had ever known the Court to he
called on as an arbitrator to inquire why our House
of Parliament had approved of a Bill, nod why the
other bad disapproved of it. Ile contended diet
his Lordship had tin jurisdiction in the case, and if
he had that the rate desnauded by the Defendants
yea a fair one.
- "The Loan CHANCELI.OR—" There is :moths!.
view to be taken of this ease. TilP l'1:111101ff Was
called on in 1819 to pay 129. for half a year's rate,
and when called on he had broken in on another
half year, can the Defendants then demand the in-
crease price no the It all year broken into before lie
has received notice of the increase, would they not
be obliged to supply the Plaintiff for that half year
at the old rate ?"
The Defendant's Solicitor stated, that six
months notice had been served on the Plaintiff on
Midsummer-day last, that if he did out fray the
increased rate at Christmas next his pipe should be
cut from the mein.
The Loan CHANCELLOR-•" Then what hae
the Court to do with the gprestion sow?"
Mr. Sl'ttaott—" It is sworn that the Defend.
•atits thresteu to cot off the Plaintitri pipe now."
Tlie LORD CHANCEL-LOR observed, that the
Plaintiff could hot want any injunction until next
Christmas, for if after the sootier the Defendants
had served oujiim, if they cut his pipe, in his opi-
nion there could be MI damages too great that a
Jury could Rive for no :set.
Mr. FIEALD followed on the same side as Mr.
WETHERELL, and stated that the Defendants bad
not extended the increased rate to the pour of the
district, end so much was the generality of the
inhabitatits satisfied with it, that they bad in vea.
try contracted wills the Defendants to supply the
poordiouse with water for 14 years.
111 r. 'NORTON followed on the same vide.
Mr. Wtasott, in the absence of his leader, Mr.
[JARS', replied.
The Lone CHANCELLOR observed, in stating
what the principles of the Court on this subject
were, lie was relieved in a great measure by know-
ing if the Defend's'''. hid the power to sever the
Plaintiff's' pipe from the main, it could not lake
place directly ; therefore, If the opinion he was
about to give was thought wrong by either of the
patties, there ....mid be full time to have the case
reheard before any damage could ensue. As to
whether the Defendants bad acted handsomely or
otherwise, or whether the motives of the Plaintiff
were correct ill instituting this suit. he had nothing
to do with, at the same nine he was compelled to
say that the demand might be correct, and that there
could be no discredit attached to the person opposing
The bill was drawn with great professions', know-
ledge; for whoever drew it felt the difficulty how
to shape it, so as to give the Court jurisdiction.—
Certainly noire of the caws which had been stated

tract still continued, the Court wieldO

where • breach of it could be repaid by
recovered its • Court of Law ; but the fact of o party
bring entitled to damages was not a ground for
relief in a Court of Equity. The Legislature
always cosseted with the ides that Courts of Low
sod Equity could act on them, but slit turned out
that the Act gave no relief hut an action of de.
mages, a Court of Equity could not supply the
defect of the Legislature, for it had not the autho-
rity. Ile agreed it was the duty of • Court of
Equity to God out the meson% of the Legislature,
and it they could Bsid it nut, to act on it. As to
all that hid been said about monopolies, dies he had
nothing to do with, for if the Legislature had
II ght proper to leave it open to the Water Com-
panies of the metropolis to vest their property in
the Defendants, lie had nothing to do with it.
That the Legislature did not mean that the De-
fendants should have monopoly was obvious by
the clause that restrained them from selling.
His Lordship then stated the prayer of the Bill,
and took a review of its allegations, and the mean-
ing of the Acts of Parliament, from which it ap:
peered dial the mutual agreement must he en-
tered into *tweets the parties before the consent
of the Defendants could bt obtained for in i,,divi.
dual's pipe to he introduced into the main, and that
the contract of each individual must be different,
according to the supply of water required; the
whole right then depended on the contract, and the
Legislature could not have thought it an irreparable
damage, by a house not being supplied with water,
when they had given the power to the Defendants
in cut the pipe in default of payment. Acts of
Parliarsaent were always well meant, but they were
sometimes slovenly worded ; for instance, this Act
said that the severing of the pipe should not take
place except on the non-payment of the role, where
there is no rote, but a mutual contract. The second
Act was also very slovenly drawn, but if it was the
intention of the motion to draw f him his opi-
nion of that Act, they would not have it, he would
leave that opinion to be given in another place.
The question before him was, not whether the De-
fendants could demand more than a reasonable
price, but leaving it to the Court to determine
what was a reasonable or unreasonable charge.
Then doing away with the mutual contract,
could he restrain parties from acting on what
prices they thought reasonable? He could not oblige
the inhabitants to take water from the Defeo-
slants, or they to supply them. If it had been the
intention of the Legislature, they ought to have
provided for it by the Act of Parliament. His
present opinion was, that he could not grant the
injunction asked for.
Mr. HART—" Then we must apply to Parlia-
ment for relief."
Mr. WETHEILELL" We are ready to meet you
there."—Motion dismissed.

Moire. About half past four o'clock on Sunday morning,
July 16th, the son was shining in a cloudless sky, and the
light vapours arising from the River Ouse were hovering
over a hide bill near St. Neale, when suddenly the village of
Great Paxton, its farns.lorinses, barns, dispersed collages,
trees, and its different gram fields, were clearly and distinctly
visible in a beautiful aerial pictnre, which extended from
east to west abont 400 yards. Nothing could exceed
