Mr. Sergeant Pell said, that the plaintiff in this case
was N. °attend, Esq. and the iletimdants J. Jekyl and T.
Cunningham, trustees under the will of the late Sir
C. Banbury, Bart. The action was brought by the plain-
tiff as lord of the manor of Park ball, Essex, to recover a
considerable sum of money, the produce of horses sold at
Tattersall's, the propel ty of the late Sir C. Brinbary, In
tight of his lordship, as heriuts for a copyhold estate, in
which Sir Charles had a life interest, Tbe question was
one ofvery great novelty, and of considerable importance.
The copyliold estate lielrl by the late Sir Chillies Bitubury
was a very small one, and had, in consequence of the
form of transmission, mice adopted between one sister
and another, been made divisible into fourteen separate
parts, and the real question was, whether the lord of the
manor ill not thereby, upon the death of the holder's life
interest, In come entitled, nut to one heriut, according to
the original torn of the copy hold, but to fourteen, in con-
sequence of its fourteen divisibijitiesi' Sir C. fliinbary, it
is well known, was a gentleman who kept up a very large
and valuable stud of horses, At the time of his death he
hail twenty-two valuable horses at his grazing farm of
Earton, in Suffolk ; and lie bad besides a most valuable
race.hurse, called Smolensk°, who was in the care of a
gentleman in the Imola of England, Sniolemko,
other horses, were sold at Taitersall's after the death of
Sir Charles ; the racer brought 1,300 guineas, and an ac-
tion was brought by the lord of the manor to recover the
produce of that sale, in virtue of his light to the fowler ii
lieriuts. The July found a verdict for the plaintiff, es.
chiding the value of Smolensk(' ; and his present *pith-
cation was fur a new trial, un the ground that the gnclusion
of that horse from the amount was against the evidence
upon which alone the Jury were bomill to decide.
