reservoir of water, whirl, if they were permitted tos•ever,
would cut him off hem a supply of water. Ile stated the
Ent quest• for the eveisiderattun ulthe Court was, whether
the Defendants hail the right to demand what price they
pleeseil for the supply of water and secuudiy, whether they
hail the right weever the Plaiiitiff's pyre friths the 'IMP
during the pending of ibis euit. The iliffereace of the price
demanded by the Defendants sod that offered by the Plain-
tiff would out be seacieut, taking it as au anutial sum, to
pay for the briefs of Counsel, but et was taut the case of as
*divides' but of the inhabitants of Mary-le-hone gem,
rally, sod as such of high importance. The bill prayed that
She Defendants shoed he desired to supply water to the its.
habitants, if not at the old rate, at a reasouable one, and
that they might be prevented from ing the Plaintiff's
pipe horn the main. The title 01 both the parries was de-
rived farm the Act of the 46111 of George 111., whirls wes
enacted fur the purpose of the inhobitauts being supplied
with wholesome water, and fur a supply iis ones of h e, fur
the trysail of which the inhabitants *ere to pay such au
annual sum as 'Woad be agreed ou between them and the
Iheferidauts. and after tire agreement was entered into, and
there was default iu the payment of an indieidusl, then that
the Defendauts shuuld have the power of beveriu.,' the plot
of that individusl from the main. Ile, the Leagued
Counsel, thee coosidereil that before a pipe WOO laid down
from the main into the house of au inhabitant, there was a
mutual price agreed on between the inhabitant and the De
feudants. The question then fur the Court to consider was,
whether the Defendants were buried to supply water to all
persons in the district requiriug it, on their payees -a rea-
sonable price. The Defewlents with the Rutstein* of She
inhabitants, obtained another Act in the Slat of Geo. 111.
for the purpose of enlarging the district, sod to esable
the Defendauts to raise a further sem of mosey. The ire-
habitasits lent their assistance 1111 the faith of the Defendants,
that they were to be suppli.-.1 with water at a reasonable
rate. Before the passthe of the Acts of Parliament, the
district was supplied by other C.umpanies, aid airy
lent their asoiatance to the Defertiliaits and the Greed Jose-
tiou Company, 'on their representatiou that they (the ielia-
bilanis) were paying Hsu much fOr their supply of water to
She New River mid -otbet Water Companies, and lair
same years after the paseieig of the Acts, they were sap-
plied by the Defeedauts at a less rate, which continued
until the Defriedauls bad crushed the property of the other
lister Cunipsoies; then they purchased front those they
bad crushed, or compromised with them by giviug up a
small part of the district to them, out the Defeadauts bring
allowed to hold the renesioder, and the other Companies
not to interfere with then,. The Plaintiff lad hero ruder
else dominion of the New River Casspasiy, and he was trans-
ferred by this agreement, or compromise, to the dintisitia
sad mercy of the Defendants. The coon-eft had hardly

Mr. HART in continuative said, that She Defined's., •p.
peered to cusesider that the Acis of Parbeineut gave them
the p4lll/..f to distribute the law un the subject as they pleased,
and that they were not howud So supply au inbabitaut wish

to demand what price they pleased; and if that was not coat-
plied with, they had Ilse power of severing the italividual's

the Court would ihrect en issue to try whether the suite hin-
dered by the Plaiutiff, or that demanded by the Defendants,
was the reasue•ble price fir the supply of water. His Cheat
offered to pay the Defendants the greater sane, for the pur-
pose of raising an action to recover back the surplus between
Hutt and the old rate, on couilioson that they would nut
sever his pipe from their math while the action was pending;
but this they refused. He bad stated the nature of the case,
and would nut take up his Lordship's time in stating any
