LAW INTELLIGEATE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY If!. • •
The Court was occupied the whole 9f this
day with a cause of great importance to Gentle-
men of the Law, as the decision will probably settle
a new point in the rules or equity respecting tenants
tor life, without impeachment for waste. A gentle•
man of the name of Lambe devised considerable real
and personal property in the following rrianner :
The real and personal property to a relation of his
own, of the name of Lambe, for life, without im-
Beachment of waste—remainder to Sir James Bland j
urgess—then to the eldest son of Sir James Bland j
burgess—and, in case of his dying without issue, to
several other persons—by the same tenure, the fee
being lodged at last in a Mr. Reay. Mr. Lambe and
Sir J. B. Burgess were appointed trustees to carry the
will into execution ; one of the conditions of which
was, that the personal property, amounting to about
70,0001. should be converted into real property, for
the uses above-mentioned. Mr. Lambe, the first te-
nant, was b have the interest of the money for two
years ; but in case he did not then purchase land with
it, the interest was to accumulate and be converted
into additional capital to purchase. An estate was
bought in Leicester, with no timber ; another was
bought in Sussex, with a very large proportion of
timber, which happened to constitute the beauty,
and, in a great measure, the value of the estate.—
There was no complaint in any quarter as to the pur-
chase ; but the first tenant began, according to his
legal right, to cut down the wood, and this was ob-
jected to by one of the remainder men. The diffi-
culty consisted in this—the tenant could not be re-
strained from cutting the wood, except in so far as it
came within the rules of the Court respecting orna-
mental timber. But if not restrained in this case, he
might gain not only the interest of the property, hut a
great portion of the capital, and essential injury would
be. done to the remainder men. The CHAVCELLOR or-
dered notice to be given to the other parties concern-
ed, and the case to he mentioned again next Seal.—
Our limits do not permit us to give more than this
short view of the case ; but it will be mentioned
again. with the line of argument taken by the Coun-
sel, when the final judgment is delivered.

COURT OF JUNG'S BENCH, JZTL,Y 11.
PARK/NS V. JACOB.
Mr. OARRCW stated 'this to be an action to recover
63, per cent. on a Policy of. Insurance, entered
Between the plaintiff and defendant, on a brig belong-
in,,• to the farmer, called the Little. Jane. She was
freighted for the Brazils, with goods as were
likely-to turn to :tdraniage there, and she had liberty
to sail with or with Out convoy: She sailed, however,
N itli convoy, and in a heavy gale separated from the
rust of the fleet ; but in a few days she joined company
apiin, with five or six of them that had got a-head of
the others. These were all soon afterwards taken by
two of the minty's privateers. Mr. G. s aid, that
with the 'assistance of Several of ..his learned Brethren,
he was unable to guess what defence could be set up
on the other side.
At the desire of Mr. PARK, for the defendant, the
Policy of Insurance was read, when it appeared that
among the rest of the Little Jane's cargo were several
anchors, cables, coils of rope, and other naval stores,
which being prohibited articles for exportation, the
payment of the insurance was resisted on that ground.
Mr. Gatutow submitted to the Bench, whether or
not the rest might be recovered, which were not pro-
hibited articles ; but
Lord ELLENtloaounit being of a contrary opinion,
the plaintiff was nonsuited.

tish fket off the coast of Denmark. .

the crew were believed by a witness to be at present
in a Danish prison, and the cargo;worth above 60001.

Thc defence was that the ship must have known
of the eVaenation of Copenhagen by. the departure of

the ship was 'converted into a smuggler, conveying its
proviSions to the enemy.
