DAWDLE:4IX DEMONS.
THE RCOL7NY'S CANAL COMPANY V. W. AGAR, ESQ.,

This cause came on on Saturday, in the form of a
it of assessment ot damages, directing the Sheriff to
;quire What compensation ought to be paid to W.
,g.r,Esq. for the inconvenience likely to be sustained
him in conseq.ience of the Regent's Canal passing
icrass the garden, lawn, shrubberies, and grounds,
ijaining his house. Mr.- AGA .ptotested against
the jurisdiction 14 the Court. He insisted that the
'arrant, under which the Court were assembled, re.
ferred to a line of canal which was not sanctioned by
the Act of Parliament. He said he hatt.the injunc-
inn ot the Court or. Chancery, prohibiting the Com-
irooners from proceeding on any other line than that
•bich was marked out by the Leg;slature. He there-
we attended to state these preliminary objections ;
md, having suggested them, the Court might pro-
ceed as it pleased. As he wholly denied its power,
`se should certainly not consider himself bound by its
determination. Mr. Matsiwaauio and the Bench en-
treated the Learned Gentleman to remain ; but he
persisted in his resolve, and departed.
-Mr. Warnaitiii.L said, be was not dismayed at
that the learned deferidant had urged as a reasqn
a 1601 going into the inquiry. Mr. Agar had
do-
tounctd against him and his learned friends, the
ireful consequences of contravening the injunction
If the Lord Chancellor. He was aware of the clan-
er ot ding so, but still he should desire the Jury
o as-ess the damages under the Act of Parliament.
The utmost that could happen would be, that him-
self and his learned friends, Mr. Harrison and Mr.
Moth, wanid, instead of enjoying an excursion into
the country*, have to pass the long vacation in the
Meet Prison t to which agreeable place, Lord Eldon
lesions failed to send those who presumed to violate his
onders. 4fle should nevertheless proceed. He was at
as to conceive what objection Mr. Agar could
test to a cm.), which would rather be an 'ornament
than otherwise.. The Learned Gentleman, however,
was averse to it; and he could only wish him joj of

of Parliament or that, if there had been any devia-
tion, it had been with Mr. Agar's consent. He main-
,tained. that Mr. Agar had prevented the Commis.
sip nets trim proceeding in a'southern direction, which'
would have saved the Company many thousand
.poonds ; but had compelled there to cut the canal in
,a nortweastern course,, at a vast expense. Having
done sr, and having approved of the alteration in the
eeiginal elan, he had no right to extra compensation.
. • Lieveial enginecis stated, that Mr. Agar's general
intereit in the property would be deteriorated in a con-
sitlerab,e degree.
Mr. HAIIHISON summed up the evidence, observing.,
that as Mr. Aar was absent, he should refrain from'
any observations to tie Jury, but should leave the case
As it stood on the testimony of the witnesses.
Zs:r. MAINWARING said, that as the Jury had had a
view of ih. premises and seemed to understand the
one, the subject could not be in better hands.
