VICE-CHANCE-LLORS' COURT, May 26.
(Before the VICE. CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.)
DAMER V. LORD PORTARLINGTON.

The arguments in this case, which have already occupied
the Court three days, were resumed this morning. the case
comes before the Court upon a motion for a receiver of the
rents, &c., of the Portarlington and Darner estates, and also for an
order that the London Joint Stock Bank should pay into Court the
sum of 15,2741. now remaining in their hands, to the credit of the
late trustees, John Wight, William Blount, and Pierce Mahony ;
that William Blount might be restrained from receiving the rents of
the trust estates, or interfering with the management thereof, and
that Messrs. Palmer and Nettleship might be restrained from re-
moving from the joint-stock bank any of the documents or papers
relating to the trust estates. The circumstances nut of which the
present suit arises were these :—ln the year 1832 the family
estates of Lord Portarlington in several counties in Ireland, esti.
mated at the value of 850,0001., and producing a rental of up-
wards of 27,0001. per annum, being subject to many heavy incum-
brances and irredeemable life annuities to memhers of his Lord-
ship's family, an arrangement was entered into to consolidate the
incutnbrances in one mortgage, which was to form the primary
charge on the property, subject only to the irredeemable annui-
ties. The sum of 344,0001., which was required for this purpose,
was contributed by several persons, and the estates conveyed in
mortgage to William Blount, a trustee of the will of the late Earl
of Shrewsbury, John Wright, late the banker, and Pierce Mahony,
a solicitor in Dublin, through whose agency the money was ob-
tained upon trust for the contributors, and subject to the usual
proviso for redemption. In default, the trustees were authorised
to enter upon and manage the estates, appoint receivers, and do
every usual act of ownership, and in case the mortgage money
remained unpaid in December, 1840, they were empowered
to sell the estates. The power to appoint new trustees was
vested in a majority of the contributors. The execution of the
trust proceeded smoothly till the end of the year 1841, when dif-
ferences arose among the trustees relative to the retention by
Mr. Mahony, against the wishes of his co-trustees, of some of
the trust moneys, upon which he claimed a lien for costs,
and a suit was instituted by Messrs. Palmer and Nettleship,
the English solicitors of the trust, at the instance of a large
number of contributors, to remove Mr. Mahony from the trust,
and to have an account taken :of the moneys received by him.
While this suit was proeecdirg Mr. Wright, who had previously
become bankrupt and was desirous to retire from the trust, sigiaed
and placed in the hands of Mr. Palmer a memorandum expressing
his desire to be discharged from the office in favour of Mr. Thomas
Joseph Eyre. In March, 1843, a cross suit was filed by Mr. Ma-
hony against the other trustees, and these two suits in the Irish
Courts produced a negotiation which resulted in Mr. Mahony's
consenting to retire from the trust, and all proceedings being
discontinued. A deed was then prepared with the approba-
tion of a majority in value of the contributors, appointing the plain •
tiff, Colonel Dawson Darner, and Mr. T. J. Eyre, trustees, in the
room of Messrs. Wright and Mahony, and the endeavours to obtain
the execution of this deed by the retiring trustees and the other
necessary parties appeared to have augmented the disputes among
the trustees and the parties espousing the one side or the other,
until they had grown into the severest hostilities, and led to nego-
tiations and correspondence of which it is impossible (naive any de-
scription. Mr. Wright appeared to have signed a counter-part of the
deed which was confided to Mr. Palmer, and from which at a sub.
sequent period the name of Mr. Wright was torn by Mr. Palmer.
Mr. Mahony refused to execute the deed till January last, when
he signed and delivered it as an escrow to be kept by Mr. Rhodes,
his solicitor, until certain conditions should have been performed,
the principal of which, as far as they were disclosed, appeared to
be that Palmer and Nettleship should be discharged from act-
ing as solicitors to the trust, and that a cheque for 1,1811,
claimed by Mr. Mahony to be due to hies for costs, shoeld be
signed by the trustees. The affairs of the trust had consequently
fallen into the greatest disorder. The tttle-deeds and papers
had been placed by Messrs. Palmer and Nettleship in the custody
of the joint-stock bank, and trust.moneys to the amount of
15,5241. had also been paid to them in the names of Wright,
Blount, and Mahony, and the bank refused to part with the balance,
except under the joint order of those three persons, which it seemed
impossible to obtain; and Messrs. Palmer and Nettleship claimed
a lien on the title-deeds, and, acting under the direction of Mr.
Blount, refused to deliver them to the new trustees. The re.
ceivets were alleged to be greatly in arrear with their payment of
the rents, and the securities of one of them had been lost by
the bankruptcy of Messrs. Wright, in whose house the sureties
were partners. Mr. Blount was also proceeding with the suit
in the Irish Court of Chancery, and a notice had been
served upon him by the new trustees to stay the litigation.
In this confused and distracted state of the trust the present bill
was filed, Colonel Darner to piece it under the direction of the
English Court of Chancery, praying a decree that Mr. Eyre-and
himself might be declared to have been well and effectually ap-
pointed trustees of the property, that Wright, Blount, and Ma.
hony might be directed to execute all necessary acts to vest
the estates in them ; that Mr. Blount might be removed from
the office of trustee ; that the joint-stock bank might be or-
dered to pay the balance of 15,5241. to the new trustees, that
Messrs. Palmer and Nettleship might be ordered to deliver up to
them the title-deeds and documents relating to the estate, as well
as the deed of resignation signed by Wright, and that if the Court
should be of opinion that the plaintiff and Eyre have not been
duly appointed trustees, that Wright might be removed and new
trustees appointed, and a receiver appointed of the rents in the
meantime.

Mr. BETIIELL and Mr. PALMER have been already beard on the
part of the application.
WILcocK had addressed the Court for Mr. Mahony.
Mr. WAKEF I ELD and Mr. BEALE appeared on behalf of Mr. Eyre.
Mr. LOWNDES was heard for the other members of the Eyre
family, and in support of the management of Mr. Mahony, and
Mr. J. PARKER, with whom was Mr. Rolt, addressed the Court
today for Mr. Blount.
The case appears likely to occupy some days yet.

(Before Sir J. KNIGIIT BRUCE.)

The part heard case of Edwards v. Brown occupied the Court
the whole morning.

(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)
The cases of Eustace v. Bradshaw, which stood for judgment
and Mallialieu and Miller, were ordered to stand over, and
His HONOUR proceeded to hear the further argumeots in For.
syth and Ellice, which occupied the remainder of the morning.
