rd his freeholds and copyholds in different portions to
different untie In 1800 he executed a settlement
in contemplation of,marsiage, and tie marriage after-
wards took effect. The settlement contained a covenant.
to surrender the copyholds io the uses ot the settlement,
and the question was, whether this was a revocation of
the will as regarded.the copyhold estates? The settle-
ment was to wine irrent charge of 3004 a year. The
Master of the Roll', betole whom the can e was mi.
heaid, was of opinion that the will was revoked,
both as it disposed of the freehold and copyhild estates.
Lord Eldon entertained doubts of the revocation as to
the cops hold ; he considered it a ptire question of law,
and sent it to the Court of King's Bench. Toot Court
certified that in law, even if there had been an actual
surrender (theta being only a covenant to surrender)
it would not have been a revocatiort-at the copyholds.
It afterwards came here upon a contest on t: e cirt ficate
of the Court o King's Beach.. Upon the auli•orsty of

reversion to her children. The stestei!s had recovered
the brew house from the tenant by an,.action of eject.-

damages to the amount Of 5001. fin dilapidation.. The
trustees had invested the money. and paid the dividends
ier Anne Noble during her life. Upon the death of Aare
Noble, her children called upon the trustees to transfer
th:s sum ; but they refused, and a bill sins filed to cons-
_
pal the transfer.
The Vice CHANCELLOR observed, that the question
to be decided was, whether the turn tecovervd tor dila-

since, or as the exclusive property of the tenant for life?
No care had been cited which bore upon the point, and,
in the absence of authority, he thought the safest coot se
would be to follow the principle of the law. I t accorii.

This was an action on two bills of exchange for

of Coster and Cunningham, in favour of Short and Co.
sod endorsed to the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded,
in addition to the general issue. that if he was hahre at
all on the bills, he was •liable jointly with a l'ersots of
the name of Cunningham, who was in partnership with
him at the time the bilis were drawn..

the defendant, but was a person t..ken brio )1:1 service.
with a view of lending his.name to the defendant, and
to give a colour to the transactions which were carried
