The LORD CIiAtidULLOR this day ObtiCrYCd, that
he had read the affidavits with the greaTesj atten-
tion. He 'had. hoped the his a ttention would
never hate been called to this subject, hut ul4Ol*-
Innately os it nail been., he would try to give the
best theislon in his power, without sending it to
a Court of Law to try 'Alt issue. There could be
no blame attaehed to Mr. Croft, who was the Re-
gistrar of the Court, for be acted proPetly, as 'he
bad not a right to make an athdarit, without he
had an order of the Court to that effect. -As to
Mr. Waters, it did not appear that lie knew at the
time of the sale of the renewal of the lease; and
alsti it appeared that he kad no intention of he-
cothing the purchaser nruil, he ivent into the Alas.
ter's ().lice. Mr. Waters applied to Mr. Halloway
to know when first Mr. Taylor knew of the grant of
the Crown for extending the term of the lease ; that
gentlem•ill answered that Mr. Taylor did know of it,
bat at what precise period he could not say, but that
he was apprised of the proceedings of the Crown be
fore the sale did take place. His Lordship here ob=
served, that no blame could attach to Mr.Halloway.
He had faithfully done his ditty. But lie (his Lord-
ship) h 4.1 a duty to perform of much. greater COMM-
queore, it WAS nut As it related to this theatre, but
to the ptiblie at large ; no person ivuld conceive
that he WM. fond of eiveriug into the subject after
what hall already passed, and the nnfortunate
page he had matte use of. But thia he flutist say,
for it was not musical in onpliape, that the rules
of the Court must be preServed. He then took is
review of the case, and stated, that it was sent to
the Master tor the purpose of a sale : if the par-
titulars were not correct', it became 'his duty to
order a re-sale. He wished it to be underttood in
giving this decision, that he did not attach blame
to any person, much less to. Mr. Miters, who had
acted throughout in this complicated suit in the
must honourable and candid ncluner
