Mr. GR,Ofirr said, at to the Committee alluded to,
it )vas.yet tdo young ,to haves come to any opinion
on the subjett. He hoped, however, it Was no part
of the wish of that Committee to trench'on the pri-.
vileges of the Company as they now existed. He
was a Member of that ,CounnittFe,, and lie could.
discover 'no such dispusition to prevail in' it. So far
from blaming the Honourable Proprietor for his
•
anxiety on account of the Company, he thought Aim
entitled to thanks Wins attention. He trusted the
Proprietors were convinced that the Direelors would
not willingly sUrcender the privileges of their Con-
stituents; but that they would be sis Aired, that the
jealousy of their Executive Body would not sleep if
any alteration 'or innovation on their riglits Was at,
tempted. He agreed entirely with the Learned Gen-
tleman in expressing .his sorrow at the foolish preju-
dizes which existed out of doors against the Com—
pany, and its deploring the lainentable ignorance of
the Oblic as to the nature of thek establishment.
He was satisfied, however, notwithstanding these
prejudices, that the
,company would not be sacri,

with the Learned Proprietor, that nothing could be
plainerto any per Son who could react than this, that

first 'year after •the Aa passed. With' this explana-
tion he hoped the Court would he satisfiech

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARen 3,.
'ma HON. T. 'COVENTRY V. EMEDEbT.,
This was a motion on the part of the Plaintift-that
a Receiver of the rents and profits of his estates be
appointed ; and that he be allowed 8001. per annum
out of the same till his cause with the Defendant had
been fatly heard. It appeared the Defendant had some
time back filed a bill to restrain the Plaintiff from re-
ceiving the tents and profits of his own estates,
upon the ground of his having executed a deed of
conveyance of such rents and profits to the De-
fendant, upon condition of his receivllng 8001. a-
year. To this bill the . Plaintiff answered,that the
deed had .been obtained by fraud, inasmuch as the De-
fondant had represented the estates considerably less
produaive.than they really were. The Plaintiff then
filed a cross bill, to which the Defendant had nor put
in his answer, and the motion of to-day was in effet.l
to restrain him from receiving the rents and profits.
Much was said as to the chara6ter of .Mr. Embden,
who had. introduced himself to Mr. Coventry as-one
well calculated to equalize his income, and place
the same upon a systematic foundation." But tltb
chara6ter of the indivldu4l hack lityle to <ln with the
muestion at issue, as the Plaintiff had, in point of
faai executed the deed of conveyance to the De-
lendant..

A 'Wiltshire Gentleman has started on a pedestrian
excursion iu thatcounny,which if he rrforins within
the given. tima, Will ootstrip all pedestrians. His
name is Paclgers; and his undertaking is to go 50
m.les a day for eight daj.s. He ktarted on Tuesday
morning, at about four miles from Ba,ingstoke, to
go to a spot near Warminster. The undertaking is
tor a bet of isu guineas.

The CHANCIiLLOR observed, that, when the first
application was made to hint, seeing that the De-
fendant had a tide by conveyance- to am whole an-
I 'nual produce of the, Attintiirs estates, on condition
of his paying to Mr. C. the hom of SOW. per an-
num, and understanding the Plaintiff to have kept
I the deed in his possession, with an , apparent in-
ic,'Olion to rescind the obligation he had con-
,c troaed, he did think it a. lit. case, while that
deed was witlthdd,, to restrain ,Mr. 'C. from re•
ceiving the rents and profits alluded to. A, cross
bill had, however, been tiled ; am! though the De-
tendant had a(ted suspiciously in .not putting in his
answer, yet the Court could not..a6t, upon suspicion
only, and the parties must be heayd on both sides
before we could finally decide. He thOUght,lhert.t-
fore, without saving what was to be ultimately done
with the deed, that the tenants, for the present,
should be ordered to pay their rents.nato Court, and
that Mr. Coventry should receive his 8001. from
them. It would then be open to the parties to
make any application they thought • proper as to a
permanent receiver; but, in the mean time, the
Deed
,of Conveyance must be placed under the con-
trout and management of the Court.

before Mr. Justice It was au ejoiamci
brought by Lord SornetS tie:ost 'the Delendatit

bus to the town bf Reigate, called the Castle Pm&
The case was very ably stated 'hy Mr. Serjearit'Sncr
man, and the fillowing are the principal laas'i-'—•
John• Cocks, Esq. father of the late, And gurtitl
father of the present Lord Somers, died in the ,}'el
1772, whereupon the late Lord became tenant fc
life of the premise 3, wide a power of lca3ing.for 2
years, so as upon every such lease there should b
reserved and made payable the best improved.yeark
tent that could be reasonably had for the same.

On the 10th of J inunry, 1776, the late Lord So
niers demised to the Defendaut these Castle Lanili,
for et yeas from i'vliehaelinas preceding; and of
the same teth of JatigAry, it appears,, his Lerdsliii
was induced to enter into a written agreement 'wit'
the Defendant, a Solicitor of eminence at-Reigate,
and then acing as an Agent there for hiS Lordship
in which the above-mentioned 'lease is recited,. enc
ahoanother lease of certain burgage houses in Bei-
ga e, heretofore granted to the said Defendant,' by
John C.eks aforesaid,' who had the fee thereof lot
99 years, and in which it is also stated to have beets
first agreed bttween the parties, that the lease ta
these Castle Lands should be mado.to expire witiJ
the last.mentioried lease of the said burgage houses,
but that it be a doubt whether the late Lord
Somers could grant for More than 2 t years, his Lord
ship did thereby covenant; that himself, his-heirs,
executorerand administrators, or such other person
or persons as should be entitled to the reversion of
the said premises, should demise these Castle Lands
to the Defendant, his executors and adminisfr'ators,
• for 21 years, to commence at the end of the term of
1 years, granted by the lease of t 776, and so an
fur 2t years, 21 years, 21 yeers, and two years, by
as to expire as. above stated, at and under the same
rents and covenants as were contained in the, said
lease of 1776, reciting no _reasons or censideratious;
for such agreement but as alrently stated.
The said lease of 1776 tieing run out, the late
Lord Somers, on the toth of Febreary'l799, de-
wised the same lands to Defendant for et year,; from,.
Michaelmas 17e6e at the same yearlv rent as wall,
reserved by the lease of 1776.• jiffs Lord,.hre died
in the month of Jeituai-y 1606, when :he prestllt
Lord succeeded his father, and sou;ht by this
to recover possession of the hands in question, •upoiL
the ground that the best improved yearly rem that
could be reasonably had for the satre,was not.reser.vc.s
by the lease a 1799. The DOendant did net pr*c'
evidence to controvert this fad, but contended only:
that as Lotd Somers lies:el.-e. had invited him (tio.
Defendant) to dine at the :audit, with. the otk:
Hants, his Lordship h.id theraby acknowlcdi thfL
Defendant to be his tenant of chew lands, an t 1 tltto
Defetident was constqueetly tenant. from yeay
Tear of
.these lands, and could not be ejected,
out }l3Vilig had the usual notice to quit, which had.
not been given. This was answered by its being
proved the Defendant held other, lands of Lord Sot
mers besides the lands. in question, and that in fa
Ite-never had been acknowledged to be the reiao
of these buds by Lord Somers, nor had any rOg.
been received of the Defendant subeeeueut to tlis),

The Judge here interposed, and direaed the J.OO
to find a verdict for the Plaintiff, Lord 'Somers.
The Counsel for Lord Somers were Mr. Sede.al3
