LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, ArrtiL 1.

BURLINGTON ARCADE.

The SoetcrTort-GENERAL applied for an injunc-
tion against the defendant, Lord George Coven-
dish, restraining him from granting any licences
tor-making any other entrances into the Bur-
lington Arcade than the two grand entrances al-
ready constructed. He said, that Lord G. Ca-
vendish, being possessed of property adjoining to
Piccadilly, had lately erected a range of shops
and buildings on the west side of Burlington-
gardens, to which buildings the name- of "
fur-
lington Arcade" had been given. 'The whole of
these shops constituted but one building, and be-
ttreen these cline was a caverd way or passage
leading from Piccadilly to Borlington-gardens.
The Western Exchange or Bt;'zaar was close to
this Arcade. to December last, these erections
being completed, a Gentleman of the name of
Ware, who acted as agent for Lord George Ca-
vendish in this business,. contracted with various
persons to let the shops, and circulated accord-
ingly a letter, appointing a meeting between ten
and two o'clock, on December 19th, ►o confer
with the tradesmen regarding the letting the shops
in Burlington Arcade. The present plaintiffs
were various persons .who had entered into con-.
tracts to rent some of the shops, and had- several
communications with Mr. War'e on the subject,
in the course of which an understanding arose,
that there was to be no other public 'access to this
Arcade, but the one from Piccadilly,- and the
other from Burlington-gardens. The rent to be
paid for each of these shops was, for a single shop,
in addition to a fine of 1501. the, stint of 441. as,
rent ; 381. being fur the occupation of the shop,
to commence from Lady-day, 1819, and 61. for
watching, lighting, and keeping i❑ repair. for
the double shops, a fine of 2501. was to be paid,
and a rent of 881. being 761. for the occupation,
and 121. for repairs, &c. Subsequently to the
plaintiffs becoming tenants, a meeting took place
on The 23d of February last, at the Thatched
House, St. James/s-street, at which a series of
regulations were agreed to. The tenants took
possession, and the defendant Hearne was one
of these tenants, occupying a shop nearest the
Western Exchange. He had not 'long been in
possession before he opened a communication
between the Arcade and this Exchange ; and
this passage so opened was not a private one,
but -so public that at one time constables were
stationed to prevent mischief from the-great pres-
sure of the crowd.

The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to see a tom,
of the agreement hetwech the panics. A copy
being handeskup, he said he could not read it, as
if was not a stamped instrument. He did not see
how the case could go on.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL said, his clients
would undri take to hare the agreement stamped.

'Disc LORD CHANCELLOR.—" Then thi9 case
must stand over. I e:innot look at unstamped
papers.—They are of no use here." . ,
