subjea--,- from which he adduced, that the nanding"
rule of the Court was to grant rejief where a thing
could be done, or compensation made;, but he was
not literally to take the pdund of flesh, and where a
man could be put iii stain quo, the Court might re-
lieve. According to the doctrine of Lord North-
ington, for whose authority no person had a higher
resped,- if the landlord -were not nut in the
same state he was before the breach of cove-
nant, it would be an arbitrary exercise of the juris-
diction of the- Court • but in cases where damages
can be' measured, the Court will interfere. From
Carious cases upon this subject; they did not go the
length of saying the Court was compelled to do
this, but that it was in the discretion of the Court to
do so. His Lordship supposed a man to have got a
good' connexion; and improved .his business,' and
bthereby made the premises more valuable, and that he
had laid out 1991. in repairs ; was the landlord to say,
" you have not laid out the other pound, and I ,will ,
turn you out." Placing himself'as the landlord of the
party, Or an arbitrator between- the -parties, his
Lordship declared, he wished to do that which an
honest man Would do ; And the decree he should
pronounce must be beneficial to the landlord, be-
cause he should have complete compensation. If
the man were to be turned out, he must lose his
trade, his house, and perhaps his all. But the evi-
dence of the witnesses went to the time subsequent
to bringing the ejeCtinent, when the' tenant could
not go on with his repairs. His Lordship certainly
found that the money had not been laid out ; but the
premises suffered nothing from the delay, before
Michaelmas, 1803 ; and the landlord was the better
for the repairs being, done subsequent to that period.
His Lordship theretore ordered, under all the cir-
cumstances, that it should be referred to the Master
to ascertain what compensation should be given for
the dilapidations, from Michaelmas, 1803, 'to the
time of bringing the Ejeament, and from thence to
the time of obtaining the Injunction. Also, that the
Plaintiffs should pay the costs of the Ejectment; and
his Lorlship doubted, but that they should pay the
costs of the suit also. What they had negleCted to
do was certainly is 'their own wrong, and they de-
rived all advantage from having the 2001. for so long
a time in their own hands.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL hoped his Lordship
would not be of that opinion upon' the latter point,
the Plaintiff's having been driven to a Court of Equity
for relief, after making every fair ofler in their pOweri
and having actually laid out 601. upon the premises;
and been prevented from expending the remainder;
by the a& of the Defendant.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then ordered, that the
remaining sum of 1501. should be laid out on the
premises' within six Months, otherwise the injunc=-
tion should be dissolved, and the consideration of
the costs of the suit be reserved until the Master
shquld make his report.

Yesterday, in the Court of Chancery, a poor
female Maniac, ho used frequently to disturb the
Conn in Lord'gr.pos's time, and once armed with
a knife, made her appearance. again, and
_demanded
justice, of Lord ERSKINE.' She -declared that she
would bring 'Officers to arrest his' Lordship, as he
had taken away, her title-deeds. Every attempt to
'remove her was in vaim His Lordship desired the
pour.woman might be suffered-to remain unmolest-
ed. After this she Was quiet, and her paroxysm did
not return.

JUSTICE-ROOM, GUILDIIALL.-Yesterd4 John
.Cfos/ey was charged with - stealing a cask .of rum-
shrub, . the -property of -Brown and Co. Distillers in
Smithfield. The_ driver of the cart which contained
the liquor describd, that his cart was waiting in
King-street, Cheapside, whilst lie stepped-,aside on
business of.his employer's ; when. the Prisoner took
the cask, and was rolling it
,before him. The evi-
dence advanced against him being very clear, the
sitting. Alderman ordered him to be fully committed
for trial.

John Davies, mate of an African Trader, was
charged with ill-treating -a vc,ateliman in St. Paul's,
Church-yard. After being committed to the watch-
house, the Constable of the. evening took upon him-
self to settle the business between the parties, by or-
dering the sum of ss. to be paid to the watchman.
The Sitting,Alderman, in.a very severe manner, re-
primanded the Constable of the evening for compro-
mising zany charge afterits being made, without an
appearance before a Magistrate. This may operate
as a caution to constables in similar situations.

Benjamin Law, an assistant to coal-heavers, was
charged with negleelingto give his wife and six poor
children the means of- subsistence, by which their
- situation was rendered truly pitiable, in Field-lane,
and thereby rendering them chargeable to the parish.
It appealed that the- man so charged averaged from
his ;employ from- 255. to 30s. per week. The Al-
'Merman ordered hint. immediately to support his fa-
mily, to the utmost extent of his power..

SWINDLING.—Last week two men made their
appearance_ at Aspatria ; one of them tali, and appa-
rently between 30 and- 40. years of age, with long
black hair, and a scar ''On his upper lip. He pre-
tended to be lame of one leg, and walked with a
crufali. The other was a short man, and he also
appeared to be lame of his left arm. They went to
the house of Mr. John-Harrison, overseer of the
poor (who was from home)., and set forth to his
wife that they had been shipwrecked at the Isle of
Mann 5- that .they were eight of them in number,
and Were going to Scotland, their native country 5
-adding; -that the other six had gone forward, in a
cart,' towards -Wigton. They showed a forged pass,
which they pretended they had. got at the Isle Of
Mann, and . had also forged the name of the Rev.
Mr. Church; -of Whitehaven. Mrs. Harrison, not
disputing. their veracity, relieved them, with four
shillings. They then-went to the other overseer's'
house, in the same place; told the same. plausible
story, and received four shillings there also ! After
which; instead of following their companions of the
cart party, they took the road for Maryport.

Tuesday as two men, who w:..re at work at the
Military Lime-kilns, by the side of Chatham Hill,
Were stooping-down -to fill their' baskets, a large mass
of chalk fell upon and-overwhelmed them ; one man,
of the name of Swift, was, so bruised, that he died
in two hours afterwards, and the other now lies dan-

aerouely ill.
