COURT or CHANcieRT, MARCH so.
Teti Hoe. J. CoVntrritY u. OtSDIIN•
Mr. HAIRT moved, on the part of the Plaintiff, that
a receiver be appointed of the teats and profits of his
estates, and that he be allowed 8001. per annum out -
of the same, till his canoe with the Defendant had
been fully heard. It applied that the Defendant had
sense time back filed a bill to restrain the Plaintiff
from receiving the feias and profits of his °lntestates,'
upon _the ground of his having executed a deed of
conveyaase of such rents and profits to the Defen-
dant, upon condition of his receiving 8001. a year.—
To thishill the Rlaintiff answered, that the deed had
been obtained by fraud, Inasmuch as the Defendant
had represented the estates as yieldin3sOme hundreds
less than they actually did. The Plaintiff then filed
a cross Bill, to which the Defendant had not put in
his answer, and the motion of to-day was in effect to
restrain him from receiving the rents and profits.—
Much was said as to the character of Mr. Embden,
who had introduced himself to Mr. Coventry as one
well calculated " to equalise his income, and to place
the same upon a systematic foundation." But the
character of the individual had little to do with the
question at issue, as the Plaintiff had in point of fact,
executed th.: Deed of Conveyance to the Defendant.
The CitANCELLOA observed, that when the first
application was made to him, seeing that the Defen-
dant had a title, by conveyance, to the whole annual
produce of the Plaintiff's estates, on condition of his
paying to Mr. C. the sum of 8001. per annum • and
understanding the Plaintiff to have kept the deed in
his possession. with an apparent intention to rescind
the obligation he had coittracted, he did think it a fit
case, while that deed was withheld, to restrain Mr. C.
from receiving the rents and profits alluded to. A
cress bill had however been fired, and though thepe-
fendant bad acted suspiciously in not putting in his
answer, yet the Court could not act upon suspicion
only, and the parties must be heard on both sides be-
fore he could finally decide. He thought therefore,
without saying what was to be ultimately done with
the deed, that the tenants for the present should be
ordered to pay their rents into the Court, and that
Mr. Coventry should receive his 8001. from thence.
It would then be open to the parties to make any ap-
plication they thought proper at to a permanent re-
(ever ; but in the mean time the deed of conveyance
must be placed under the controul and management
of the Court.
Mance 51.—Mr. Justice Lavramea attended the
Csaeozw.oa, and was sworn in one of his Majesty's
Justices of the Coen of Common Pleas.
The Lady with the scarlet cloak and the fur cap
did not make her appearance in Court as was etpeses4
and a crowd of 'idlers were disappointed in getting a
peep at the fair Pleader.—We understand his Lord-
ship has ordered !he Lady's papers to be returned 05
her without further conference.

ADMIRALTY-01MT, DOCTORS' COMMONS, March 29
Lord Heat, Baird Master..--This was a question
of salvage. It was an English vessel, captured by
a French privateer, and recaptured by a Danish brig
coming from Copenhagen to this country, under the
charge of an officer of his Majesty's Navy. The
Court pronounced one sixth of the value as a remu-
neration to the salvors.

Nra. Sra. del Cora, alias Florio, Alezandro com-
mander.—La Cleopatra Bore, alias Armonia, La
Jago, commander.—This case came on by petition;
and the question was, whether an acting Lieutenant,
iit the case of prize money, was entitled to share as
a Lieutenant regularly appointed, or only as a Mid-
shipman ? The Court was of opinion, that the party
could not be considered as a Lieutenant, not having
been commissioned as such ; that it was a rank to
which he had not arrived, and therefore he was to
be considered as an acting Lieutenant only, on
board the Agamemnon, and accordingly dismissed
his claim.
Stephen, Baker master.—This ship was sailing
under American colours, laden with wine and bran-
dy, bound from Bourdeaux to New York. Ship con-
demned, and cargo restored.
. Elizabeth, Cook master.—This was an English
vessel which had been captured by the French, and
afterwards recaptured. Goods restored on payment
of salvage.

MARCIL 30.
Huron, Hill master.—This American vessel, la-
den with wine, brandy, .&c. bound from Bourdeaux
to New Orleans, was captured in January by a pri-
vateer, and afterwards taken out of her possession
by one of his Majesty's ships, and sent to Plymouth.
Ship condemned under the Orders in Connell ; the
Master's private adventure restored, and the cargo
directed to further proof.
Betsey, Washburn master.—This vessel, under
American colours, laden with wheat, was on her
voyage from New York to Oporto at the time of
capture. Ship and cargo restored, subject to the
captor's expences.
St. Anna, Heortaas master.—The Court directed
the claimants to produce further proof of the cargo.

COCKPIT, WHITEHALL, MARCH 17.
Before the Most Noble and Right Honourable the
Lords Commissioners of Appeals in Prize Causes :
Fidelity, Provost master.—This American vessel,
laden with a cargo of sundry goods, on her return
voyage from Nantz to New Orleans, was captured
on the 13th of March, 1805, by his Majesty's schoo-
ner Flying-fish, Lieutenant Price commander, and
carried to the island of Jamaica. It appeared, that
the Judge of the Vice Admiralty Court of that island,
(after the usual proceedings had been gone through)
restored the ship and condemned the cargo. From
this decree both the captors and the claimants ap-
pealed. Their Lordships in this case directed fur-
ther proof to he produced within nine months, and
dismissed the appeal with respect to the ship.
Washington, Stilfin master.—This American ship
with a cargo consisting of wine, brandy, and vari-
ous other articles of merchandize, in the prosecution
of a voyage from Bourdeaux to New Orleans, was
captured, on the 81st of October, 1805, by his Ma-
jesty's ships of war Hippomenes; Edward Wool cornbe,
Esq. Commander ; and l'Heureuk, George Yount-
husband, Esq. Commander, and carried to Antigua,
where the usual proceedings were commenced, and
the ship and cargo finally condemned by the Judge
