Friend would deny them. The Learned Gentleman
then proceeded to comment on the evidence at consi-
derable length, but in so close and techeical a mouser
that it would be useless to attempt to touch upon more
than a few striking points. The circumstance of rents
of assize being paid by the conventional tenants, and en-
tered in the accounts of the steward of the Duke of Corn-
wall. he considered to be material for the plaintiff's case,
inasmech as such a
,proceeding was wholly inconsistent
with a leasehold tenure. Another invert tent fact was, the
fixedness of the rent paid by these tenants. If they had
been leasehold tenants, as was alleged, could it be sup
posed that the Crown would have allowed them to con-
tinue paying for four or five centuries the same rent
which they paid in the reign of Edward 111. although
the value of land bad increased more than fortyfold.
Yet this was the case; for the whole rents of the con-
ventional tenants, at the present day, did not amount
to more than 261. which was the utmost sum they corn-
pOsed in the time of Edward 111. Therefole,both legally
on account of the nature of the rent of assize, and in
point of fact on account of the rent having continued
fixed, he was entitled to maintain that the hrildings
never could have been of a leasehold tenure. He next
adverted to the assession courts, which he considered,
both in their constitution and practice, as the means
by se hich the Crown. or the individuals possessing the
duchy for the time being, proposed to contravene
or usurp the right of the individuals possessing
property in the Duchy. It was important to consider
at what period those Courts were established% • It was
at a period when violent attempts might be expected to
be made upon the rights and property of individuals by
those who were in possession of power. The establi•h-
ment of the Assession Courts was coincident With, the
events which disfigured and disgraced the last year a,
the rein of Edward 11. and the first years of the reign
of Edward 111. Who was the person who had an i:.-
terest in the Duchy revenues at that time? It swap Isa-
bella, who had invaded'the country at the head, of to.
reign troops—had promoted rebellion—had become
connected with one who had. murdered her husband in
a manner too shocking to be even alluded tort-r Who had
committed a'l that was infamous, outtageoqs, and
violent, except the last act of indecorum—marrying
with her husband's murderer. It was under her autbo-
rity.,
and for her bedefit—when all law had ceased to
exi-t —when the country from east to west, and from
north to south, was one universal scene of anarchy and
disorder—!when Mortimer was ruling the kingdom in
the infancy of Edward IIL that the first assession coin
was held, for the purpose of extending the Queen's tights,
en t laying the foundation for the claims u bleb had
been subsequeotly advanced. With respect, however,
to the rolls of the assession 'courts he thought that the
object for ,which they were produced had not been
attoinesi. le WAS _Clear that the tenants did riot take
their titles in those courts, and that the title by which
they held was the copy f a roll of another court—
namely, the manor court, which was presented to them
by the steward in the asse.sional court: What right had
the Lord to say, that the proceedings in the assession
courts inade their tenure leasehold, when the roll of the
manor declared that they held to them and their heirs
for ever ? Considerable importance had been attached
to the Parliamentary Swan ;*but he Would not have
the Jury altogether to believe that all it contained was
gospel.. It bad been supposed to be very accurate,' et
*llea compared with the fat's as they now oisted,
that *Wanes, *had been found wanting. It was nice,-
gaff. to Consider the end and Object for which the.survey
hid been' made. It was' made in the time of she. Cons-
nmit wealth, and in the document the duchy of Coto% act
es as described asp past of the possessions of Charles
lase Duke°, Cotikwall." This ChatlesStuan,
`it was almost *niedless to observe, was the lateK;tist
of England. To whom bad thOse possessions devolved?
Was' the nest qerestien. The -document declared that
ey I. now s-tiled on trustees for the use of the
Comthoowealth," which was represented by the Pa'
hatibent that caused the survey to be. 'made. It re-
;spited no great stretch of imagination or lack of
charity, to suppose that the persons who• made the
Sweet would endeavour to enhance as much as
-.possible the value of the possessions in which the par-
: "ti s who appointed them were beneficially interested
-Uuder these circumstances, anything contained in
the sin vey in favour of the tenant and against the lord,
must be taken E very strong and unexceptionable evi-
dence fr r the former ; whilst on• the other hand, any
thing in.favnur of the lord and against the tenant Ought
to be viewed with great distru t and sus; icion. Peru
Learned Counsel 'then proceeded to contend at very
considerable length, that if the tenants in the manor of
Tewington had a right to a renewal of their holdings
from seven years to seven years in pew tisk y, their hold-
ing was in its interest a fee. Ills learned friends bad ar-
gued that their holding could nut be freehold. because
it was held by copy; but Lord Coke-had shown that
freehold criuld be so held. Here the Learned Counsel
quoted the dictum of Lord Cote, with his reasons for it.'
Ilis L-arned Friend had also said that itcpuld not be a
- fieeliold because it passed by surtendsr,and not by livery
.. or leofment; but there was a case repotted its Coke-
-, be meant the case of 4. Hughes and .Hruris,*---which
' proved the contrary. His Learned Friend bad also said,
• 'that it could not he freehold, because it was held by
paynsnt of rent; but there were many, .manors en
• bids the freeholders held their tenements by payment
of a quit rent. 'Then his Learned Friend relied much
on the tenants of the manor of Teseington paying a
heriot to the Leiden the death of the•terant ; but it
was" notorious t • every lawyer that heriot was not ins-i
coosia.nt with freehold. He then called the attention
of the Jury to the proof which had been given by the
detendams rf she usage of the troarits snider their
rights, according to the documentary evidence. Now
that evidence was lr.ble to twirl observations. The first
obseivition was, that a vast part of it came from
. the Duke's agents, who, if they had not themselves
a direct interest, had al fellow-fee ing with the Duke,
who had a direct interest in 'emitting the tights
of the tenant; and it was rather a hard oho% that;
he was to be caked upon. to take the documents,
drawn up by the stewards of the Doke's manors as evi-
&Ace to support the exteasion of the lord's right,. The
second, observation was, that A great d: al of his Learned
Friend's evidence went to prove Duke
which he did not
mean to deny—na oely,that the Duke of Cornwall had
many large and esteasite rights, which were by no
means in conflict with the rights of the Duke's tenants.
lila Learned F. tend had zranplained much of the en-
croachments which the tenants hartgradually made optm
• the titilits of the lord ; but was there no proof r f still
larger eacreechnieoti havnigireen made by the lord lip-
. • cm the ,rights r.t t:.c iertai.t? Ise the lease granted by'
gin William in 1698. to Vincent slid Scobell, a lea,se
of tin was was, with leave to dig for other minerals,
provided they pot leave previously from the owners of
the soil. The Berke proviso was cootoned in the
leases granted in the reign of Geinge. 1. by George 11.
Mho was then Ps ince of Wales ; arid it was not till the
year 1742, when the first lease laps granted to the L-mon
imilyi that that proviso was omitted. In the year 1810,

Henn!Williams mad Smith bad slew from the Cypapt,'
in which they had granted to thin), not merely power to
enter and dig upon all the duchy lands, but also in dig
and enter upon all lands whatever ii ;the whole of Cm n-
wall. In the lease granted to these gentlemen, there
was not even a clause of compensation inserted ; but in
lieu of that a power was given them to erect buildings
for dressing ore, building warehouses, and even for
diverting watercourses, as they thought proper, just as if
the whole land in Crrnwall belonged to it• Duke, and no
otl er pers-n had a right over a single blade of grass that
grew within its precincts. The only thing like this lea.e
which he had ever heard of was a document which had
been produced in this case, by which that legal and con-
stitutional King, John, had given power to his grantees
to divert watercourses 4 without hindrance ftom us. our
heirs, and successors," so that even what John did just
alter he had been driven out of France, and had mur•
deted his nephew Arthur, was a mere joke to what had
recently been attempted by the officers t the Duke of
Cornwall. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to
show, from a review of the evidence which he had pro-
duced on behalf of the plaintiff, that there never had
bten any uninterrupted possession of the minerals in
the Duke of Cornwall in the asAisional manors. and
called the particular wtention rl the Jury to the
resistance which Miss Smith had made to such a
claim, when it was attempted to be enforced on her
property. It appeared that when a shaft was driven
into her tenement, she let cif a quantity of water
into the adit and drowned the tools of all the workmen.'
In conclusion he insi.ted that even if there had been two
or three acts of enjoyment by the Duke of Cornwall,
inconsistent with the right of the tenants of the revert-
teen assessiun try manors of the duchy, and of their
200,000 or 300,000 inhabitants—nay, if these had even
been 30 or 4.0 acts of such a nature, net within the last
six or eight years, but within the five centuries which
had elapsed since the period of legal memory, a Jury
ought not, without the most clear and satisfact-ry and
decisive evidence, to give a verdict frir the defendants.
which would reduce all property within the assessionary
manors to be mere leasehold property, held at the will
'of the Duke of Cornwall.

It was now past fise o'clock, and
Thr LORD CHIEN JUSTICE then proceeded to into up
the case to the Jury. It it had appeared to him that
the question which they were empunnelled to decide.
involved any point of doubt or difficulty,. so is to re-1
quite from him any lengthened detail of the evidence,'
or any tedious explanation of the law,' ffe should have
thought it right to lei:pest them to attend in Court-
again .to-morr ,w, in order that they nr'ght bring to
the consideration of it recruited strength 'and Wigoint
But the question was now reduced to such a narrow
compass, that the legal effect of the evidence might
be stated to them without entering into it at any
great length. The question in this case is, whether
the Duke i.f Cornwall, or the owner of the shit in
the manor of Tewington, is entitled to the minerals?
and hete again the question narrowed itself, for it
merely, applied to the minerals when brought to the
%mime ; and the Jury had no question berme them as
to the right to dig on the surface to search for minerals
below it. It might happen that the tight of the mine-
rals might be in the lord, and yet that he could not
come upon the land to sink a shsft without making
terms with his tenant. indeed, he knew that there wete
'in the north of England several mire. held under copy.
hold tenute,in which the lord had a right to the mine-
' rah., but had no right to enter on the land to search-for
them. Thus, as the lord could not cat the sin face to take
the minerals,nm the tenant take the minerals after he bad
cut the surface, the minerals most remain untaken until
some compromise were. made between the lord and she.
tenant. The queStion in the prcseAt ease, as he had before,
stated to them, was not whether the Duke of Cornwall
had a right to go on to his tenants' land, and dig and
do damage to the surface, in circler en get to the mine.
fats? but siliether the Property in those minerals-be-
longed to him Or to the tenant ?. That fact rendered
.unnecessary all the evidence which the plaintiff had
tendered to prove the 'interruption which had been
given to various adventurers in winking for mineral,. fly
mmy of the bases which had been put in by the defen-
dants, it was provided That the lessee should not enter
on the land of the tenant to search for minerals with-
out leave from the tenant. All the evidence, there.
fore, which they'had heard respecting the resistance of.
feted to persons sinking shafts was referable to the tight of
the_ tenant, to prevent individuals from coming upon his'
lands ; and pat right would account for the large sums
which had sometimes been paid for the surface of the
land. and would consequently destroy much of the ',-
gement on which the Coun.el for the plaintiff had relied:
The Learned Judge then proceeded to state the citcom-
Stances under which this action had arisen, and to take
* review of the evidence which had been given upon
rue side sad the other. With respect to the tenure in
die manor of Tewington, he told the Jury that if that
tenure was merely a renewal-of the holdings of the
'tenants from seven years to. seven years, even though
theie was superadded to it a right of renewal tot ever,
did not amount toe freehold tenure; and therefore could.'
give the tenants no right to the minerals. He had, re
viewed the evidence last night with the uttw'st impar-,
tiality, and had given it again that morning the spiciest
examination in his power; and he felt himself bound to
tell them that it appeared to him that the tenants of the
Manor cf Tewington were not freeholders, and that
consequently their verdict most be for the defendarts.
He believed that his Learned Bri,thers concurred with
him in that opinion ; if they did not, or if they thought
that he had omitted any thing which he ought to have,
stated to the Jury, the present form of trial would
'enable their leir.iships to declare their opinions, and to
.apply any deficiancits of which he might slaloms•
ionally have been guilty.
Mr. Jtistice BATLEY and Mr. Justice PARKE declined
ii.'dresing the Jury. as they fully agreed in every thing
which had fallen from the Lotd Chief Justice. .
The. Jury, aler a moment's deliberation, returned a
verdict for the defendants.
The Load Cnu.r Jvarice then observed, that after
the second day of this trial lie had been convinced its
'his awn mind that each would be the termination of it.

of De. Walsh. of Newington, who bad advised him to take a link
wine, or to drink spirits and water. Qn Tuesday evening be bad
received some money, and had ventured upon a glass of spirits and
water, benne his bowels were very weakly.
What are' you? inquired the Alderman.—A schoolmaster at
Snow's-fields, said Mr. Lawrence.
I believe I have heard of you before. rejoined the Magistrate;
this is nut the brat time you have been ch .rge4 with drunkenness?
I have been ensued of it (said Mr. Lawrence with some ems
fusion), bat I believe have satisfactorily ezplained that matter.
Mr. Alderman Wetrissue said, it was exceedingly disgraceful
to him to be found in such a mate of inebriation. He would advise
him to give his iupils a lecture against drunkenness.
Mr. Lawrence said he is k was disgraceful, and henceforth- he
would drjnk nothing hut water ; but really his bowels were in a week
state, and he was otherwise in trouble, having recently lost £1,400.
The Alderman dismissed him, after giving bins a little furtherl
