COURT OF CHANCERY.

NAYLOR V. WYNCII.

The LORD, CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this
case, which was an appeal from the decision of the
late Vice-Chancellor, Sir John Leach. The question
arose upoia the will of a gentleman named NlTynch,
made in the-East IndieS, by which he subjected cer
tain parts of his property to the payment of an an-
nuity of WU' • Tice present plaintiff, who claimed.
' under the person the-object of the testator's bounty,
had entered into certain agreements, which, it was
contended, under the circumstances that had since
occurred, could not be binding upon her, and the
'Court•was asked to set them aside. Upon the case
coming, on before Sir John Leach, he was clearly
of opinion that the agreements were binding upon
the plaintiff, and decreed accordingly. With that
decision his Lordship in every respect agreed. In
giving his. judgment, it would be obvious to those
who were acquainted with the ease, he had repeated
almost- word for word the decision of the Court
below ; that decision must be affirmed, but without
costs.

speaking of him as an author, says, " When the Memorials
of his Oa•n Time, the composition of which he is said

made known to the public, his abilities as a writer may be
better estimated."

the silk harness line, that a number of the manufacturers
%liege, have agents in Perth for giving out their work. 'The
fact of so many Paisley manufacturers having agencies at a
place more than seventy miles distant, shows that the busi-
ness must be brisk, to afford the expense of agency, risk,
and double laud carriage.— Glasgow Chronicle.
