CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY,

ALDRIDGE V. FORBES.-JIIDGMENT.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

FRANKS C. PRICE.

The Court was occupied the entire day with the ar-
guments of Counsel in this case, the litigation arising
upon the will of a Mr. Moses Hart, who died as far back
as 1756. The case is not worth reporting in a news-
paper, the only question being whether a party took an
estate tail or an estate for life.

The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in
this case, which was heard before his Lordship some
time since, upon appeal from the decision of his Honour
the Vice-Chancellor. His Lordship said that the cir-
cumstances of the case were extremely complicated, and
from the mode in which they were stated in the pro-
ceedings it was not very easy to come to a satisfactory
conclusion as to the precise state of the facts ; but if
the facts were ascertained, there was no difficulty as to
the application of the rule of law. As near as his Lord-
ship could ascertain the facts, they were as follows :
Two estates in the West Indies called Yambou and
Mariaqua were mortgaged in the year 1811 to a person
named Arebas Akers. In 1818 the owner of the estates
the subject of the mortgage, entered into a covenant,
the effect of which was to bind himself to create a
charge upon Yambou for the purpose of raising 10,0001
to be settled on his daughters. In 1819 the same in-
dividual, the owner of the equity of redemption, mort-
gaged both estates to Bailey and Co. Subsequently
Bailey and Co. paid off the mortgage of 1811, and
therefore they had the first and the third mortgage on
both the estates, and the other parties claimed a charge
upon Yambou alone to the amount of 10,0001. A certain
sum was awarded for the slaves on both these estates
under the Slavery Abolition Act, but it appearing that
in addition to the several charges on the estate
which had been mentioned, there was a charge
prior to them all, for an unpaid legacy upon Yambou,
by an order of the Court the compensation money was
applied in discharge of that first charge. That con-
sumed all the compensation money which was referable
to the estate of Yambou, except 671. A sum of up-
wards of 2,200/. was awarded by the Commissioners of
Compensation in respect of the estate called Mariaqua,
and that was applied in part payment of the mortgage
of 1811. The effect, therefore, of that transaction
was, that Mariaqua had borne a larger proportion in
the payment of the mortgage of 1811, than the
other estate called Yambou. In
this state of cir-
cumstances, a petition was presented to the Vice-
Chancellor, praying that the proportion of the mort-
gage of 1811, which ought to have been paid
out of the proceeds of the estate called Yambou, but
which had been paid out of the proceeds of Mariaqua,
might be thrown upon the former estate. The prayer
of that petition the 'Vice-Chancellor refused to grant,
holding that the parties having the benefit of the charge
of 1818, had a right to have the estate called Yambou
