INJUNCTION.

Mr. 101 DREW V. CROFTS.
• - HILLIIHORE moved that the common in-
Jun •
ctinn, which had been granted to restrain the
defendant from proceeding in a certain action at law
against the plaintiff might be dissolved.
Mr. KNIGHT appeared in support of the injunc-
tilm• The bill stated that the plaintiff was one of
the executors,
dec conjointly with his step-mother, of his
eased father, and was entitled upon her death to
a moiety of 840/. in the new four per cents.; the
Plaintiff had been upon very bad terms with his step-
mother, and had such little intercourse with her, as
not even to
know the state of her health—he was
the habit of frequenting a tavern kept by the
defendant, and the bill stated, that after a
182gt6h,enteed
assign negociation,ig he was induced in April
to the defendant the rever-
!!°ll of the moiety for 250/., part of this considera-
'!" money was retained to defray the expense of
the conveyance; the plaintiff was at this time in
very embarrassed circumstances. In less than three
months after this, his step-mother died, and since
that he has ascertained that for a considerable time
before her death, her life had been despaired of.
She was, moreover, sixty-nine years of age. The
bill charged that the defendant before the tran-
asetion was completed, made the necessary in-
quiries, and ascertained all the facts, without having
communicated them to the plaintiff. The plaintiff
being, as executor of his father, entitled to the
tt,ock, caused it to be transferred to his own name.
The defendant, on this, brought an action at law on
the title covenants in the deed, by which the rever-
!lnn Was assigned to him, and the present injunc-
l'on was obtained to restrain any further proceed-
ngs in that action. The defendant, in his answer,
admitted all the material facts, except so far as it
Was imputed to him that he knew the state of health
I the plaintiff's step-mother.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR enquired what the price
of the new 4 per cents. was at the time of the bar-
gain• Unless there was a direct proof of under-
value, he did not see how the injunction could be
anstained.
,L• KNIGHT said that Mr. Morgan, a gentleman
as his Honour must be aware, was conversant
'With transactions of this nature, gave it as his
°Pinion that the reversion was worth at least 100/.
More than had been given for it.
Mr• PIIILL/MORE entered into a variety of details
for the
purpose of showing that the full value had
been received by the plaintiff
