Mg plaintiff was grantor of certain building leases
in Holywell, Middlesex ; the defendant, Williams,
was
,grantee, and re-granted leases to the other de-
fendants. The. case had come into the Vice-Chan-
cellor's Court in the form of a petition for an injunc-
tion to restrain some of the defendants from carrying
On certain buildings, on theground that they violated
the modisions of the original lease. All the lessees
became defendants against the prayer of the petition.
Afrer'three successive discussions in different forms,
his Houour• had granted the injunction. Applica-
tion was now made to the Lord Chancellor to dis-
solve the injunction,
The. IfORD.CIIANCELLQA Said he would read all
the affidavits, and give his judgment on Monday
morning. At present the case did not appear to him
to be a cape, for an injunction. Here buildings had:

VICE-CHANCELLOR% COURT, NOVEMBER 18•
DbA.NOHAIID O. THE EAST INDIA COMP,ANT.
Mr. HottNE begged to call the attention of the
Court to this case, the circumstances of which be-
came more extraordinary every hour. In conse-
quence of what passed yesterday, Mr. Blanchard im-
mediate)/ proceeded, with the concurrence of the
ast. India Company, to contract with the Captain Of
the 14elporneue for the passage of the Laster: to
India. It was stated on affidavit, that Whilst Mr.
Blanchard was ou board the vessel, Mr. Baxter came
there, and, making use of violent imprecations and
language, dared him to send the Lascars away. He
alscs told the Lascars that Mr. Blanchard intended to
sell them, as slaves, and actually desired them to re-
sist if it were attempted to send them on board. The
consequence was, that the men were in a state of
mutiny. It was impossible to account for the con-
duct of Mr. Baxter, unless by supposing him insane„;
Mr. BELL. on the part of the East India Company,
stated, that his clients were extremely desirous that
the Lascars should be returned to India, because, as
his Ilooour might have perceived by the Newspapers,
these men, who were very ignorant, were easily ex-
ailed to tint, and committed most dreadful excesses.
The VICE CIIANCLLLOR.—Have the men refused
to go on board?
Mr. Iloarm—Yes, ; and as they only form a
part of a body of 2000, under the care of the East
Company, a general mutiny is apprehended.
The ree-Criaricsr.ton.--What can I do? •
Mr. iIORFE.—I feel it very difficult to suggest any
course. If Mr. Baxter's Counsel had been here, the
Court might perhaps have heard some explanation of
that (,eotlemarr's conduct.
The Vioe-CatanAttott.—lf it be true that Mr.
Baxter is acting iq the manner described, he is ex-
posing himself to a very different jurisdiction from
that exercised by this Court. You must have
course to a criminal Court.
Mr. lloawn.—The East India Company are em.
powered by Act of Parliament to take case of these
men : bat they doubt whether they are authorized to
oppose force to force, if it should become necessary,
The VICE-Citaucatton.—l cannot restrain Mr.
Baxter from cpmmitting a crime. You must seek
your remedy at )4W.
IN THE MATTER In MOWAS•D AND OIDR4.
Mr. HORNE said that the Court would remember
that on at former occasion it had directed that Mr.
Grimstead should bring an action at law against the
assignees, to prpie his -debt of 52,8281. Now it hap-
pened that according to the form of this action, the
only material quesLu)l) between the parties, namely,
whether the debt was founded in usury, could net
be decided. Under these circumstances the assigneo
prayed that the Court would recal its former order
directing the trial of the action, and direct an issue
to try the question of usury. He apprehended that
this would not be objected to on the part of 'Sir.
Grimstead.---Mr. Taxstotoi and Mr. WHAM fol-
lowed on the Little side.
Mr. HAT was instructed by Mr. Gritnsroad to
oppo.e the present application. When the cause was
argued bel,re the Court, his Honour, after the fullest
consideration of the subject, had issued the order
which he was called upon to overrule, merely be-
cause the assignees thought it would be convenient to
them. The only resuk of trying an issue would tier
trouble and delay ; fur if the Jury should determine
that the debt was usurious, it would then be neces-
sary to prove its validity by an action. If, however,
Ole Court should grant the motion, he hoped it would
.order the assignees to pay Mr. Grimstead's costs.
That gentleman had incurred every expense neces-
sary for the trial of the action, up to the very duy
when the parties should have gone into Court.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said he perfectly recol-
