ground upon him, .Pro;ecuLor stopped, when:the ,
Prisoner came up to him,- and asked him to give
hint somethiog, saying, he was .a Soldier in dis-
tress ; that, after expostulating with him on the
impropriety of his eoralutt in begging, he gave
him sipcnee or a shilling, which the Prisoner
recei,-ed,i but telling him that would not do, land
at the site time hoidinta bludgeon he. had in
his hand, in a threatening position over •Vrose.
tutor's head, demanded his money, and .swore

" COURT OF CHANCERY, MARC:: I+.

TENANT T. HOWSLEY.

This was a Bill filed to compel the specific
. performance of ,a contra& for the purchase of a-
estate. The Defendant was reported by the
. Master to have been the purchase,' hut had re-
fused to carry -the purchase into. -execution, al-.
though a good title had been rendered to him.
The .subject came before his Lordship on excep-
tions
to the Master's report.' The Defendant
insisted' that the title to. the estate, which was
part freehold and parr copyhold, had been con-
.sidered by the most able Conveyancers as a deter_
five could he traced no further back
.than to the ancestor of the Plaintiff in the year
• 1765, to whom it appeared the lands in question
!lifid teen allotted under an .Enclosure AO, • in lieu
of a right of common to which he was entitled.
It-was contended, that, perhaps, the right of the
Ancestor to the estate for_ which he enjoyed the
,right of common, might have been an unlawful
one, and, consequently that the title to the lands
allotted in lieu of such right of-common must be
had, and the posssor liable to be dispossessed.
it was further contended, that a Purchaser was
entitled to have a clear undisputed title, that he
could carry to market again immediately. In
answer to these objeaions it was urged, that the
'undisturbed possession for upwards of thirty
3,:ars was sufficient evidence of itself of a good
title.

The LORD CHANCELL' tzb conceived the oh-
jeftions to be the most frivolous he had ever
beard. It was too much to ask him to-presume,
that the Plaintiff's ancestor was a trespasser on
the estate'for which he had the right of common.
It was impossible for him to make a title to an
estate, that the ingenuity of a Conveyancer Could
not find some fault with. He decreed the pur_
chase to be immediately carried into execution.
