HONOURtV Sr
BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1790, 1 bad been afflicted with the Lues Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses.of salivation, and twice dis;-
benchmed from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
of the most inveterate nature. In the 3pring of last year
my disorder had got to such n head, as nearly to put a period
to my existence—I had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
on e eu each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner ; my right was dreadfiilly painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration fur the last seven years; my left had also
two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warrn in bed,
as n early to deprive me of rest ; ip this lamentable state, I
was seeommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (whis,received so
great a cure by them here), to take vont, Leake's Patent Pills,
vrhi'cli I began to door) the iltnli 0. May ; in the course of a
fortnight I began, to receive henetit—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my licatland arms were soundly healed;-,
loon after, the sores i3le my le;gir.healed also ; leaving, how
ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by tire blessing of God, awl a little
longer eel deVerance in your invaluable. Medicine, subsided;
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining' its natural hue, and

Serious accident at Romford, whilst on his jo4r-

passed with much velocity, and so near,

to entertain a very respectable audience, but
with much pain from his bruises, which has inca-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 23.
WINSON V. LORD ANSON AND OTHERS!

The plaintiff in this case was the owner of some real property,
which he sold to a person named Mosely, who, after having
mortgaged it, became-bankrupt. His assignees sold the estate
to Laid Anson, rho paid them a part of the purchase money,
and retained the remainder for the purpose of satisfying the
mortgages upon the estate. The plaintiff had sold the estate to
Mosely on a contract, by which the latter bound himself to pay
the purchase money to the plaintiff's representatives, after his
death, in the. mean time paying_ interest to the vendor on the
whole of the purchase money. Under these circumstances the
plaintiff had filed the present bill; contending that he- had a
lien on the estate for the amount of the purchase-money due on
the origi_nal sale to Mosely.
Mr. HEALD and Mr. WHEATLEY appeared for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. BELL and Mr. Bic KERSTAFF for the defendants.
The VICE-CttaiscELLott said, this easels quite new in its
circumstances, and, I believe, I may say,.that such an instance
of a sale of property never before appeared in a Court of Equity.
Ettthe contract of agreement for the sale of this estate to Mr.
osely, the purchase money was not to be paid until after the
death of the vendor ( who thought proper to provide in this
manner a fund fur his children), but in the mean time he was
to receive an annual sum, as interest on this purchase money.
The contract therefore stated this as a sale, in consideration of
a future payment ; but the conveyance which was executed
to Mosely stated it as a sale, in consideration of a present re-
ceipt of the purchase money. The statement of the convey-
ance does not appear to be true, in fact, as the plaintiff ac:
cepted a bond at the time of the sale, for the payment of pre-
sent interest on the purchase money, which was not to be paid
till after his death. The question under these circumstances
is, whether the vendor has any lien on the estate so as to
render it undisposable until the time limited for the pay-
ment of the purchase money? As this case has never before
occurred, I must refer to principles alone for its decision.—
Nothing is so satisfactory to the Court as to determine cases on
principles which can be applied to all cases of a similar nature,
varied only by the particular circumstances of each. What
then, are the principles applicable to the circumstances which
are stated in this particular case? Wherever a contract is en.
tered into for the sale of an estate at a particular price, the
estate passes at law by the mere conveyance of it to the pur-
chaser, while in equity it will not pass except on the payment
oftheer, sti
stipulated price. At the time of executing' this convey-
ance, the plaintiff took as a security for payment, a personal
contract of the vendee. In this Court a personal security is
not alone sufficient to discharge the equitable claim of the ven-
der, but is merely considered as a collateral security, and if
the equity originally existed, it would make no difference
whether the payment were to be made at the end of two days
or two years. The question, therefore, now is, whether the
conveyance having passed the estate at law, it has not also
passed it in equity ? There is no doubt that a vendor may sell
an estate in this manlier, and may reserve to himself a lien on-
the estate, so as to prevent the exercise of a power of disposi-
tion by the vendee, and he may reserve such a lien, after taking
a personal security of the vendee for the payment of the purchase
money, but he cannot do so, unless he expresses his reservation
of such a claim on the 'face of the deeds of conveyance. No
purchaser can be allowed in a 'Court of Equity to contradict
the deeds under which he has effected the purchase, nor is
this attempted by the purchaser here. The vendor is the
person who now comes to contradict his deeds, and who says,
that though the money appears on the face of the conveyance- ,
to have been actually received, yen, in fact, it lcensainstabe paid
.at a future time. Now, if he could give evidence of this, the
vendee would be permitted to shew the circumstances under
which this agreement was made; and I should consider, thin in
this case the payment has actually beeninade by agreement be-
tween the parties. I am; therefore, of opinion, that there is
no substantial difference between the expression of the consi-
deration on the face of the deed of conveyance, and on the
agreement, and that the vendor has no equity, nor any right
of lien on the estate for the payment of the- money ow re.
-
mairting.due.—The plaintiff's bill is therefore ilism* isied

Lon!) MILSINOTOUX v.:EARL POIITMORE.
This was a bill filed by, the Noble Plaintifragainst Lord Mut-
grave, Mr. Oreathead, and others,,trustees of LOrd Portmore,
praying a reference to the Master to take an account of the
monies in the hands of the trustee", and to have it declared what
balence were due from theM. It appeared that • Mr. Brooks,
the solicitor of Earl Portmere, was employed also by the trus-
tees, and had absconded with a large sum of Money belonging
to them. The trustees hid been made 'answerable for the
monies so taken. A reference had been made to the Master,
and a report had been made, declaring the sum of 5001. to be
due from the trustees. The only question now remaining to be
decided Was with reference to costs.

file trustees to pay the
costs to the plaintiff, but refused to grant them to Lord Port-
more. The trustees, who. had, in fact, caused the suit by their
negligence and improper confidence in Mr. Brooks, could do
no otherwise than pay the costs. His Honour also directed an
inquiry, whether the trustees in, the trust transactions stated in
the bill—viz., the sale of the estate, and the receipt of the pur-
chase-money—did not, by the recommendation of Lord POrt-
more, appoint Mr. Brooks as their Solicitor.,
