LINCOLN'S INN NALL.
AWAILD3.—ItING O. HILLIY.
This was an application to let wide an award. It
appeared thitt the parties are rival brewers of coal•
derable eminence at Plymouth Dock, and the matter
in difpute was a fi eehold property there, whereon,
among other premiles, was that of a public bottle,
which each claimed to be his refpe&ive right. At the
Devon &Bizet the caufe was refers cd to Mr. Carpenter
and Mr. Pathan), refpe&able at mrnies in that diltrift,
but they not agreeing, an umpire was chofen, namely,
, Mr. Barry, of the Temple, who made his award
againa the plaintiff, and he, diffatisfied th:rewith, filed
his bill (or an injuation ; but the CH ancleena, after
a full hearing of the cafe on both fides, expreffed his
decided opinion, both upon the law and merits of the
quaint), that the award could not be ditturbed, and
his Lordlhip confirmed it Accordingly.

COURT OP KING 3 BENCH, DEC. i 3.
&Immo OTNSIIS O. DWG'S.

Mr. Laicise Rated, that the Plaintiffs in this ac-
tion were the Executor. of Mr. William Brandon,
and had inllituted the prefent fait to recover two
films, the one of sof. and the other of 301. being mo-
ney lent, and for which the Defendant bad given
two notes of hand. It appeared that when Mr.
Brandon was nearly dying, he was at ended by
two daughters of the Defendant ; and that Sarah
Cookfon, who lived in Mr. Brandon's houfe, opened
a drawer where the two notes were. One of the
daughters Paid that they were notes which her father
had given. Cookfon replied that they were, and
(but the drawer. The notes, were. however, by fome
means or-other, abllralled.
Mr. Loxley, the attorney for the Plaintiffs, depof-
ed, that after the death of Mr. Brandon. he wrote
to the Defendant. &firing him to pay the bills.—
Digges called on him a day or two after, and Oared
that he was very poor, in confequence of his bilfinefs,
as a fifb falefman. having greatly declined. He ad-
mitted that the notes were to his poffeßion, and de-
clared his intention uf paying them. He called again.
and told the witnefs that Mr. Wm. Brandon. the
refiduary legatee, bad concerned to take the money
hy. indalments, of a fhilling or fixpcnec a week. The
muses defired him to go and bring him Mr. Bran-
don's content, but he never returned.
Mrs. Cookfon was next called, but her evidence
was not allowed to be taken, Use having lived with
the deceafed as Mrs. Brandon. A legacy had alio
been left her, and the was of courfe incapable of be-
ing a witnefs, litlieff Ike had executed a relcafe.
Mr. Gatsow then addreffed the Jury on the part
of the Defendant. He 'marked, that Whit learned
Friend and himfelf had changed places in the caul',
his Learned Friend would have Rated to the Jury in
much Rronger language than he could, that there was
no evidence of one farthing having been advanced by
Brandon, the deceafed, to the defendant. He would
alfo have Rated, that there was no evidence of the
mites of hand having bean given, or indeed that the
deceafed and tie defendant had any dealings what-
ever. Such falls had been 'worn. but fworn upon
exi•lnded evidence, he meant that of Mr. Loaley, the
plaintiff's attorney. Mr. Losley, he well knew, was
a man of high integrity and refperffability in his pro-
Felton, and he would not fay that he had (worn In
from defign, but merely that be bad been miftaken,
owing to his not underitanding with his ulna! accu-
racy and clearnefs of percepttnn, what the defendant
had told him. He had an anfwer in point of law to
the prefent demand, which was, that it was impoffi-
ble Mrs. Cookfon could be examined, as Ile was con-
cerned in the accumulation of the funds in order to
the payinent to herlelf of the annual intereft of a' le-
gacy of pool. in the flocks. That Lady had appear-
ed before the Jury in widow's weeds, withing to be
under flood as the wife of the deceafed, which he was
Wien/fed to Rate was not the cafe. He would admit
that his client had borrowed money from Brandon,
and he would go the length of producing the notes
he gave as fecurity for the re-payment. He would
call the defendant's daup liters, who would prove that
Brandon, on his death•bed, gave up the notes to them,
in order that they might !Arne them to the defen-
dant. He knew very well that his Learned Friend
would nbferve upon their teflimony that they had a
natural aff:ffion for their father, and therefore that
their evidence could not be credited. But he would
only remark in reply, ikould fuch an ribfervation he
made, that in cafes of this defer iption, where there is
not a poffibilit y of adducing evidence of a better kind,
that he was entitled to refutt to the only tcilimony
he could to mare.
Mifs Elizabeth Digges was then called. She raid
that the deceafed and her father had been friends for
many years. She heard the deceafed on feveral oc-
cafions declare, that he would terse her father in any
thing. Bhe was in attendance on the deceafed dating
his la* inners, on which occation her filler was fent
for. In the morning of the day before he died, Mrs.
Brandon called the young women to her bedfide.
The deceafed opened the curtain, and Mrs. Brandon
gave the witnefs the notes and papers of her father
and brother, defiling the witnef, to give them to her
father, " as it was her dear B.', defire they might
not be hurt." Mrs Brandon then faid to Mr.
Brandon "Is not this right, my dear B. ?" He re-1
plied, "It is." Before Mr. Brandon died, whielt '
was at three o'clock the following morning, he often
laid that he had not figned the notes. The wittier.
• told him Hilt to mind.
Mr. Citation, then produced the notes, which the
witnefs twore to being the fame the received from
Mrs. Brandon.
• Crofoesamined by Mr. Eisele r.—Mr. Brandon
died at three the following morning, on Saturday the
rl 7.11 of April. The notes were given to the witnefs
. the pieceding morning, between nine and ten, jolt
after breakfaff. Between that time and the period of
I his diffolution, Mr. Brandon frequently enquired for
