SUMMER ASSIZES.

BODMIN, AUGUST is.

ROE, ON DEMISE OF HEALE AND OTHERS, V. RA SIII.EICII.

THE SAME V. THIRTY-SIX OTHER PERSONS.

These ejectments, thirty-seven in number, were
brought by the assignees of a person of the name of
Dingle, against Charles Rashleigh, Esq. and others,
to obtain possession of certain houses and buildings,
a pier, basin, and other property, in a newly-created
town, called Charlestown, iu the neighbourhood of
St. Austle.

It appeared that Dingle had been long in the em-
ploy 'of Mr. Rashleigh, and, though uneducated, was
in possession of considerable power; of perception.
He foresaw the immense benefit to be derived from
converting a barren spot into a port grid harbour,
and, with the assistance of Mr. Rashleigh, who had
granted him a freehold for life in the premises, ac-
tually converted that barren spot into a place of the
first importance to the county, as one which afforded
the greatest facility to trade, and the greatest advan-
tage to those engaged in mining pursuits. Matters
went on with increasing success from 1790 to 1809,
when Mr. Rashleigh withdrew his protection from
Dingle, arrested him, threw him into prison, and re-
assumed the possession of the whole property. The
other creditors of Dingle sued out a commission of
bankruptcy, and the present plaintiffs, as assignees
under that commission,-proceeded to recover the pos-
session; but as Mr. Rashleigh set up a claim to a
large amount against the bankrupt, and insisted that
he had a lien upon the lease, a reference was agreed
to. The award made upon that occasion was virtu-
ally set aside at the last sittings in the Court of King's
Bench, on the ground that the arbitrator had pur-
posely kept out of the way, to avoid receiving notice
of the revocation of the submission, and the claims of
ate assignees were again put forward.
The case was most ably argued on the documen-
tary evidence ; and the result was, that the plaintiff
obtained a verdict, complete, in twenty-five of the
causes, and as to the remaining twelve, an objection
was taken, that a sufficiently formal livery and seizin
had not been made under the lease to the bankrupt.
The Learned Judge (BEST) reserved the point, and
allowed the defendants to move the Court above for
a nonsuit as to the twelve; but on the other twenty-
five ejectments the verdict was unconditional.
