800 V. Till WATIRL')O BRIDOX C►MPASY.
This case is well known to the public,' and the
Lord Chancellor having formerly ordered the case
to•go on the question of damages to a Court of Law,
the question to day was, whether the plaintiff had a
right to claim damages from the defendants for all
the acts of trespass they had committed ? If so, be
was bound to prove every single trespass.
The LORD CHAIICSLLOR thought the justice of the
case was, the plaintiff had possession at the time the
acts of trespass which he complained of were com-
mitted, and therefore he was entitled to go to a Court
of Law for the whole.
