COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY.

FARQUHARSON V. RALF ,UR.
This is a very important case, the particularset°
which have been already stated.—The plaintiff hail'
filed a bill against the defendant, to whom an estatli
in the West Indies, to the value of upwards citi
£lOO,OOO, had come, upon mortgage first, and me*
upon purchase. The plaintiff claimed, by his bill, 41‘
very latge portion of the produce of this estate, and
had filed it against the de:*endant, charging•hiso
great misconduct, and calling for a dt covery
the matters connected with the concerns( f this estate
The defendant had formany yeas as the plasutii
alledged, esaded the jsiszice of the case, and had
from time to ante put in lour answers, o hich, upas
exceptions, bad been reported by the Master to be
'insufficient; upon which a motion 'had been made
that the defendant should he attached for contempt,
, ,in putting in these four istsufficieut answers; wises
the Court ordered that the defendant should be err
mined upon interrogatories, and that in custody;
but that the Matter should :ettle these hue-Isom.
ries, to prevent the tediousness of the process of de.
rourrer to interrogatories, &c.
Mr. AGAR, on behalf of the plaintiff', moved for
a Receiver of the 'rents, profits, and produce of this
estate, until the hearing of the cause; and al o that
the defendant do pay to the plaintiff all the costs oc•
casioned by these four insufficient Answers.

Mr. I-IA FIT, for the defendant, said, that the Maste
had only just settled the interrogatories which the de.
tendant was to answer, and which he wtittld witk
out delay; but, until then, this motion ought to be
ordered to stand over.
Mr.Dismet., for the defendant also, submitted the
the costs here ought to be according to the ordinary'
practice of the Court, which would be only 40s. fur
each defective answer: but here it was sought p
make the defendant pay exaggerated costs.
Ao.iti:said be dial not understand how, jo,sul
st;-Cae as this, there could be exaggerated costs. lb
submitted that the plaintiff ought to have all his costs
thus so oppressively incurred in this case.
LORD Cll ANCI*LOR.-76 r riPinion that the
defendant ought topiy costs asked-Upon this
motien. Ido not know whit is to hecunie of grit
Court if a party is to put four inuifieient ariswerst
and pay nothing, as tt u ere, for doing so. As tcy.le
motion fur the Receiver of this estate let that.cirue
on next Thursday."

better, but is still not sufficiently recovered to resuitX
his official duties.
