LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, JAN. 30.

TILE QUEEN EXPARTE RICKETS V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF TILE
SLAVE COMPENSATION FUND.

Lord DENMAN delivered judgment in this case. This was
an application for a mandamus to be directed to the defendants
to command them to adjudicate upon a claim made by Mr.
Ricketts in respect of an estate in Jamaica, called the Tre-
lawny estate, to which he claimed to be entitled, either as a
tenant in tail under a settlement made by hi 9 grandfather, or
as tenant in fee of his father, the mortgagee of the estate.
The Commissioners set up, in answer, that the question of the
title to the estate was now under adjudication by the Court of
Chancery in Jamaica, and that consequently they had no
power to decide on the claim of Mr. Ricketts, which must
first be settled before the regular tribunal in Jamaica;; the pro
visions of the Act were perfectly unambiguous, and the rule,
therefore, ittu fle discharged.
