LAW REPORT.

VICR-CIIANCRLLOWS COURT, Amu. 27.
CONST V. HARRISON AND OTHERS.
This was a bill filed by Mr. Const against the de■
fendants, praying an account of the rents and profits of
Covent Garden Theatre, sine 181'2; also that a re-
ceiver may be appointed. It appeared, in 1812, the
proprietors of the Theatre executed a deed, by which it
was settled that the proceeds and profits of the theatre
should be solely appropriated to 0 e liquidation of the
debts contracted in building the theatre. The proceeds
of the theatre arise from the nightly receipts, and the
letting of certain boxes during the season, amounting to
a considerable sum, also from the letting of the theatre
during the time of Lent, to persons for the petfatmance
of oratorios; and from a certain house adjoining, used
as a coffee-house. The plaintiff is the executor of Mr.
Martindale, w ho was entitled to one eighth share of the
-property. Mr. Const complained that the provisions of
the deed were not complied with, at least since the death
of M-. Martindale. Also that Mr. Brandon had been
removed without hit consent, who had been appointed
receiver, having given recut ity to the amount of 10,0001
and that Mr. Robinson had been appointed instead of
Mr. Brandon, without *hying any wear ity.—The Trea-
surer, under the provisions of the deed, was to apply
the pi oceeds to the payment of the debts so contracted.
This case had been before the Court a year or two ago,
and an order was made by the Lord Chancellor in com-
pliance with the prayer of the bill filed by Mr. Cnnst,
which order has not been 'literally carried into effect.
The present hid was therefore filed, bringing the suit
de novo before the Court.

Xlr. HART appeared for the plaintiff.
Th- VICg-CH ANC eL 1.0 Ft was of opinion that the Court
had no jurisdiction in this case. This was a partnership
property. If a partnership became dissolved by the
eMuzion (J•time, this Court would take cognizance of
the matter, and appoint a receiver, in older to the
winding up of the accounts. If the Court acknowledged
the principle of interfering in cases of this description,
it would be overwhelmed with all the partnerships in
the kingdom. The order of the Lord Chancellor seemed
to have been made on the ground of the limitation con-
tained in the deed of 181 g. But he doubted whether
the Court. even in that case, could interfere. He would
wish to see the point completely argued, and, in con-
sequence, would permit the case to stand over till Satur-
day morning.

COURT OP KING'S BENCH, Aritt.9.7.
IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT BLIGH. ESQ.
Mr. Ct.:meow) applied to the Court, for the estension
of the rules of tie King's Bench Prison to Mr. Robert
Migh, who is in the custody of the Marshal of this
Court, for a breach of the•peace towards the Right Hon.
Earl of Darnley, after articles had been exhibited. The
ground of the Learned Counsel's application was the ex-
treme ill heath of Mr. high, and a certificate of a
surgeon, stating that the defendant required constant
medical attendance, which could not be very easily
poetised in the King's Bench Pt lion.
The Loa. Caner Justice said be could not listen to the certifi-
cate of a surgeon; he aught to have made an affidavit.
JustiC4. HAVERS` said the most the Court had ever been In-
duced to do for I%lr. Bligh was, to suffer him to go in the cuarnly
of a tirtaff to Bads on some emergency, when his personal atten-
dance there was ahst‘letvly necessary. But tkat was not the object
of the present application.
The COUNT, after consulting, then decided, that upon the case
now• submitted to them, they could not secede to the application.
The Court was occupied during the forenoon in paring jutig
siren on pri‘oners, principally those couvicted of effences ifgain't the
Iscits laws.

posed of a few cases of no public interest.
