LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 23.
BEFORE THE 14•STBR OF THI ROLLS.
CHILD V. LORD RUNTINGFIILD.
This extraordinary cafe came before the Court
upon the confiruaion of the IA will and teftament
of Maria Mordett, of the City of Utrecht in the
United Provinces. This will deviled large property
in Holland, and likewife a (urn of five thonfand
guilders, to be yelled in the Funds, in England, for
the ufe of the nephews and nieces of the Teftatrix,
for their natural lives, and from and after their
deeeafe, the ufufro to go to their children in equal
tnoities ; fome of the Legatees died before the Tef-
tatrix, and, at the dare of the will, fome of the chil-
dren, who were to take in remainder, were twenty-
four years old, and refiding in this country, but, by
the laws of Holland, they were minors until within
ten days of the age of :5. One of the nieces, named
Ann Dc Bryfaac, covenanted with the Deputies of
the Court of Orphan Chamber, in Holland, to let
her moiety gn the c iildren before mentioned, in re-
verfion, prt'vided the fnould have the intetell fecund
to her for life, stad to any hufband Ate may marry, for
his life. in cafe he furvived her. The defendants,
Lord Huntinßfield and Mr. Walpole, are the truftees
under this deed of contraa made with the Orphan
Chamber and Ann de Bryfaac. The contraa was
aced upon for twenty (even years, by all the par-
ties; but one of them now contends, that it is not
binding on him, inafmuch as he was, at that time, a
minor, domiciled in England, where the property,
or part thereof, was then, and (till remains.—
The queflion is quite new and difficult: whether the
will or deed made in Holland (ball be carried, as
to the limitations thereof, into effed in this country?
lor whether the laws f England (ball nos govern
the appropriation of all fuch property as vets in
any perfon living within thele realms ? If the pro-
perty be here, no matter where the deed or bequeft
may have been executed;, of this opinion his Ho-
nour feemed clearly decided. • But another quef
tion arofe on the conftruaion of tenantcy in com-
mon, and joint tenantcy by the Dutch laws, a
point which govern~ this cafe in a great meafure.
Another greater difficulty arofe from the nature of
this Court of Orphan Chamber, which his Honour
could not clearly diainguiffi, by the deed, from a
kind of regifiry where fuch deeds are recorded.—
There was a great Doctor of the Civil Law of Ley
den, examined to the legality and regularity of this
deed of troll, according to the Dutch law, and he
was the only Deponent in the caufe. Upon reading
the will, which was in French, his Honour at once
fettled, that it was a j. int tenantcy rather ; but the
cafe being fo very tutet.mmon, under exiting cir.
cumftances, and no C:)nnfel, As Sir Se nu EL ROM ILL v
obferved, having any cafe iinaihr to refer to, his Ho.
;tour tool, time, until Thurfday morr.ing, to deliyer
his judgment.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE so.
ti.LioT v. AUSTEN.
Mr. Gamow Rated that this was an aCtion brought
by Meffrs. Elliot and Holbrook, coachmakers, againfl
a Gentleman of ton, to recover 221. 21. for work and
labour, and for the Rand ,f the defendant's curricle.
He raid, that in July, t Bos, the defendant went to
the plaintiff's, and befpoke an elegant chariot, and
the price agreed upon was 189 guineas, and in order
to have the thing done in the moR fafhionable (Lyle,
the arms, crett, &c. were done in a particular way.
This carriage was finilbed, agreeably to the contraa,
in the month of Oftober following ; but the defen-
dant having left town, and plaintiff not hearing any
thing more of him, for a length of time. difpofed of
the carriage to another perfon. When the defendant
next came to town, he expreffed Come furprize at the
carriage being gone I but, to make amends, ordered
another, which, when &tithed, (hared the fame fate
with the former ; he alfo fent a curricle, harnefs, Ste.
to the Plaintiff's yard, to be taken care of; and the
aOion was therefore brought to recover the expenfe
of painting the arms, creti, &c. and for eraling them
out again, when the carriage was fold to another
perfon ; and alfo for the Rand of the curricle, care of
the harnefs, &c. at the rate of four fhillings per week.
It appearing, however, that the fir(L carriage fold
for more than the Defendant was to pay for it, and
that the curricle vt as aClually fold to the Plaintiff, to
go in part payment of the carriage, Lord Ent.sw-
BOROUGH thonght they had better be fatisfied with
the expenfes of painting the arms, &c. and the jury,
accordingly, found a verdiet for the Plaintiff's.—
Damages 41. tos.
DIX'S V. SCHOOLEY AND ANOTHER.
This was an aftion brought by a poor tailor, refid-
ing at Iflington, againft the Sheriffs of Middlefex and
London, to recover compenfation in damages for a
falfe arreft. Ottthe r 9th of April laft, the Plaintiff
was arre(Led at the fuit of one Fell, by the name of
John Dixie, and carried to the lock-up houfe of one
Burton, a Sheriff's officer, in Chancery-lane. Here
he was vifited by a friend, who told the bailiff and
the Plaintiff's (Fell's) attorney of their miltake, the
prefent Plaintiff's name being Oliver, and not John.
Notwithßanding this they perfißed in detaining him ;
and when his friend reprefented that he could not
bear the captures of a lock-up honk, he was carried
to Newgate. On their arrival there, the turnkey
doubted whether he fhould receive their prifoner, re-
cognifing him to have been, force time before, in his
cultody, as a debtor, by the name of Oliver. This he
alfo reprefented to the Sheriff's Officer, but in vain ;
