tiSTRATIONS OF THE KEEPSAKE.
e proofs of these Illustrations are now
g before us. They are seventeen in number,

tit'llbest artists of the day. Among the most

'by Turner. It is a view of Havre, and
to be mistaken, for it is full of Turner's
Poetic mannerism. The long reach of

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

JENKINS V. PARKINSON.

Mr. PEPYS and Mr. CROMBIE were counsel in this
case on behalf of the defendant, and in support of the
motion to discharge a writ of ne eaeat ; and Sir E. Soo-
n Err and Mr. JACOB appeared on the other side. The
arguments occupied a considerable part of yesterday, and
the reply was heard this morning. The circumstances of
the case, as near as we could collect them, were these :
Mr. Jenkins took a lease of certain lands and premises
from Lord Portmore. He underleased a part of
the property to the very Reverend Mr. Cockburn,
Dean of York, upon which to build a house. Mr.
Jenkins also obtained a lease from Mr. Cockburn of
certain adjoining lands; and in that lease be covenanted
not to build houses upon those lands. Mr. Jenkins un-
derleased part of that property to the defendant, Mr. Par-
kinson, who covenanted, as his lessor bad done, Hot to
build. Mr. Parkinson built contrary to the covenant.
The Rev. Gentleman feeling aggrieved, brought his action
against Mr. Jenkins, upon which be recovered 1,5001.
damages and 4001. for costs. Mr. Jenkins then brought
his action over against Mr. Parkinson and recovered the
same amount. Judgment was not entered up against
Mr. Parkinson within two terms as required by the statute
of the 17th of Charles the Second, class S. Mr. Jen-
kins died, and the question was whether his ex, cutors
could proceed against the defendant at law by scire facias
upon the judgment. They were advised they could not, and
recommended to file a bill against the defendant for a
specific performance of the agreement. The defendant
had been out of the country for some time, and as there
was reason to suppose he might quit it again, application
was made after the bill was filed for the writ, the die.
charge of which was now the subject of discussion. The
writ was granted a year ago ; the defendant was arrested
upon it, he gave bail to the Sheriff, and now applied to
the Court to have the writ discharged, upon the ground
that the debt was a legal debt, and that the plaintiffs
could not apply for any remedy in equity ; that conse.
quently, whether the defendant intended to remain in this
country or not was perfectly immaterial.
The LORD CHANCELLOR desired to have the bill and
the pleadings furnished to him, that he might look into
them, intimating the present inclination of his mind to be
against the application.

VICE-CHANCERY CO ITRT.-(THIS DAY.)

GAMBLING.--LORD PORTA RLINGTON V. SOULBY.

In this case, which arose out of one of the several
gambling transactions with which the name of Lord Port-
arlington has been connected, the bill was filed by his
Lordship for the purpose of having it declared that the
defendants were bound to deliver up a bill of exchange for
1,000/ accepted by his Lordship, they having become
possessed of it without valuable consideration, and also for
the purpose of obtaining an injunction to restrain the
defendants from proceeding with an action they had com-
menced against the noble plaintiff for the amount of the
bill. From the statements of the bill, it appeared that in
the latter end of the year, 1831, the plaintiff lost at hazard
to a person of the name of Aldridge, the proprietor of
the Union Club-house, Piccadilly, the sum of 4,0001.,
for which the plaintiff accepted four bills of ex-
change for 1,000/. each, upon the understanding that
they were to be restored upon his Lordship paying the
money. The bill in question was one of those bills, and
bad been, as the bill alleged, paid to the defendants, who
are wine merchants at St. Mary-at-Hill, for the purpose
of enabling Aldridge to recover the amount, and not for
any valuable consideration ; that the bill was not banded
over to the defendants till after it was due ; that at that
time they well knew that Aldridge was the keeper of the
Union Club House, which was a house kept open expressly
for the purpose of play; that the defendants and Aldridge
had all of them admitted that they had never given any
further consideration for the bill, except that it was part
of a large sum lust by his Lordship to Aldridge at play,
and further, that Aldridge had entered into a written
undertaking to give up the bill. Instead, however, of
doing so, he had handed it over to the defendants, who
had commenced an action against the plaintiff for the
recovery of its amonnt.
To the bill alleging these facts the defendants bad put
in a plea and answer, which now came on for argument
before his H•'nour. By the plea, the defendants alleged
that they bad given valuable consideration for the bill,
and stared that a Mr. Augustus Brown, a wine-merchant
of Charlotte-street, applied to the defendants for pecuniary
assistance, and requested them to discount his bill for
1,000/ , stating at the same time that he bad an accep-
tance of Lord Portirlington's for that amount, containing
a general endorsement, purporting to be made by a person
named Aldridge, which he offered to deposit with the
defendants as a collateral security. This was agreed to,
and 7001. in cash and 3001. worth of wine was furnished
to Mr. Brown. The defendants also denied by the plea
that they were aware that Aldridge was the proprietor of
the Union Club-house, or that that place was kept open
for the purposes of play.
Mr. SIDEBOTHAM appeared in support of the plea, the
validity of which was opposed by Mr. PEPYS and Mr.
BAGSHAWE.

His HONOUR considered the plea bad, inasmuch as it did
not advert to the fact stated in the bill, that the parties
were in possession of divers hooks, papers, and writings,
from the inspection of which the truth of the matter would
appear. The Court would, therefore, order the plea to be
overruled, giving permission to both the defendants to
plead de novo, and would grant the common injunction to
stay the proceedings in the action at law.
