LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF QUEEN' BENCH.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.)
lIAZLEWOOD V. WIDDRINGTON.
ThiS action, which commenced yesterday, was to recover
coup—
imusation in damages for an alleged misrepresentation
relative to the value of the incumbency of St. Michael's,
Coventry.
The Plaintiff, the Rev. Mr. Hazlewood, was formerly in-
elonbent of St. Mark's Church, Marylebone, and in 1863
he wished to make an exchange, and he negotiated with
the defendant, who was the incumbent of St. Michael's,
Uoventry for that purpose, and ultimately the exchange
teak Place, after a most voluminous correspondence had
altatsesed
riding
the parties relative to the various sources
of income belonging to the two livings, and the expenses
ndi
them.- An endeavour, it was stated, had been
bmade to refer the matters in dispute to the bishop of the
se, as the best tribunal for deciding the points at issue,
failed. St. Mark's, Marylebone, was built in 1847, and
the income was derived from pew rents, which produced about
fil°°° Per annum, and about £l2O in fees. The pew rents so
received were to be applied to the following purposes : £6OO
or the stipend of the incumbent, celebration of divine ser-
'of rice, repairs and insurance of that fabric ; the payment
the interest of the borrowed money, and£2oo a year to-
wards the reduction of the debt, the surplus out of the £lOO
going to the incumbent. The surplus pew rents at one
tittle Were about £3OO, a valuable addition to be made by
asY clergyman whose doctrines were acceptable to the
Parishioners, and as the sinking fund was diminished the
4. ,lilleasle would increase in the end to between £270 and
of a year. At the time of the exchange the net income
fro St. Mark's was about £7OO per annum. The defendant,
plaintiff alleged, represented to him that the income
from
f --- Pew rents was about £3OO per annum, £lOO a year
-I°lll fees, £BO a year for a third service, and £lOO a year out
of a local rate levied for the purposes of the church. The
curate's stipends, he said, were paid by the Additional
Curates Society and the Pastoral Aid Society. The gross
income was therefore £5BO, which, defendant said, there was
every reason to believe, would at no distant period be in-
creased to £2,000, certainly to £l,OOO a year from the rate
6f ls• in the pound on houses over £lO a
year rent, and of
d. on houses under that amount. When the parties met at
Coventry the defendant produced his books, and he repre-
sented that he had received for the year £512 from the 3d.
rate on the parishioners, £73 for fees, and £BO for the third
!rviee, making together the net revenue of £695. The
plaintiff, after he got to Coventry, found out that the
income of St. Michael's only amounted to about £370 in-
stead of £695 ; and it had since been discovered, from a
COPY of the defendant's banker's book, and his applications
thatthe income had never amounted to the sum re-
presented. It was said that in 1860 the defendant repre-
sented to the Additional Curates Society the net income
to be £295 ; in 1861, to be £290 ; in 1862 the income was
represented to be nothing, owing to the outgoings having
absorbed the revenues, it being the year of the great dis-
tress at Coventry. The net income was represented to the
Pastoral Aid Society in 1860 to be under £3OO ; in 1861, at
£2BO ; and in 1862, at £350. With regard to the £BO for
the additional service, the plaintiff found that he had to pay
that sum to the curate. A sum of £4O a year as stipend from
the War-office for acting as chaplain to the forces, was men-
tioned might be resumed at any time, but the plaintiff found
out that the arrangements for the troops rested entirely
with the adjutant-general of the forces, and at that time the
troops
went to Mr. Harris's church. The plaintiff now
sought to recover from the defendant for the difference of
value between the income of St. Mark's and St. Michael,
Which at ten years' purchase would amount to £3,680, and
a further sum of £2,680 on a like calculation, the additional
sung that would have been received on the extinction of the
debt On St. Mark's.
The attempt which failed yesterday to decide the matter
by a reference was successful this morning, as it was
to

parties to submit the matter in dispute
