CELLOR'S COURT, DECEMBIB
BLENHEIM ESTATE

THE ATTORNEY-ORNEBAL, AT THE RELATION OP TIM
MARQUIS OF BLANDFORD AND THE HON. AGAR
ELLIS, V. HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH.

The VICZ-CRANCELLOR on Saturday gave his
judgment in favour of the Noble defendant, allowing
the demurrer, and dismiasing the plaintiff's bilL—.(See
Me STAR yesterday.)--This day, on his Honour
coming into Court, at 11 o'clock, •he observed, that

since thiey had last met, it had occurred to him that
there was an Act of Parliament which had not been
mentioned or alluded to during the discussion, and
which was of the highest importance, as it bore on
the question ; it was the Act of Parliament which
settled £5,000 per annum on the successors of the
great Duke of Marlborough, out of the receipts of
the Post-Office. In the Act there was an important
clause, which set forth, that it was not only granted
for the support and maintenance of the House of
Marlborough, but of it in the House of Blenheim,
which gave the public an interest in the estate.—
' There might be an objection made that this Act wat
not mentioned in the pleadings in the cause, but he
did not think it would stand, as the plaintiffs might
amend their bill for that purpose. There might be
another iobjection taken, but he did not think that
it would apply —that the Act, although it took into
its contemplation the house, it did not the trees,-...
I lis present cpinion was, that this pension of C. 5,000
a-year was granted for the dignity of the family in
Blenheim-house, and not for the dignity taken other-
wise in an abstract sense. As the point was of su-
perlative importance, he would with much pleasure
hear it at the close of the cause petitions, and he was
anxious to have it finally disposed of before the holi-
days. Ile begged, therefore, that the Solicitor Ge-
neral and his heat ned coadjutors on the one side, and
Mr. Bell and his tliends on the other, would be so',
very kind as to prepare themselves for the discussion.
It was one of the greatest public interea.
Mr. SIDEBOTHANI.—Then, Sir, the order for al-
lowing the demurrer is suspended.
The Vics-CrtAsczt.tort.—lt is so; and I am told
by the Registrar that the injunction cannot be dis-
solved till a motion be made for that purpose. The
order is suspended.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 11. •
HEXTER V. 811111 Y.

Mr. G unxsy stated, that this was an action brought
by the plaintiff, a surgeon and apothecary, residing
at Dorking, to recover from the defendant, a publi-
can, £l9. 9s. 6d. for medicine and advice furnished
to himself and family. The defendant, it appeared,
had a son about '2l years of age, who had lately suf-
fered under a severe indisposition, occasioned origi-
nally by an accident he met with; the plair.tiffatten-
decl him for some time, and at the conclusion of the
year sent in the bill in question to the defendant.—
The defendant did not then object to paying it, but
after a lapse of three months he called on the plain-
tiff, and requested he would make out a separate
account to his son, as he (the defendant) intended to
apply to Lady Evelyn, to see if that Lady would
assist the young man in paying it ; and also to apply
to his club for assistance. The plaintiff accordingly
did so ; but not receiving his money after waiting
two years, he again applied to the defendant, who
now refused to pay him, on the ground that the cre-
dit was originally given to the son, and as a proof of
it, produced the bill made out in the young man's
name. Upon this refusal, the plaintiff brought the
present action. Mr. Gurney now called witnesses to
prove these facts ; and further, that the medicines
charged were furnished, the attendance given, and
the Charges reasonable.
Mr. SCA RLETT, for the Defendant, endeavoured to
establish that the credit wis in fact given to the son,
a daily labourer, whose earnings did- not exceed 12s.
a week, and that the charge to a person of his de-
scription was unreasoqable.
The Jury, however, found a verdict for the Plain-
tiff for £7. 19s. 7d. llowing to the Defendant a set
off for two loads of hiy furnished by him to the
Plaintiff.

BREWER V. ELLER AND CADWELL.

This was an action of assault and false imprison-
ment. The case proved was this :—The plaintiff, who
is a Member of the Stock Exchange, accompanied a
friend to the last Ascot Races with hired horses,
which they procured of a livery stable-keeper, in St.
George's-fields. The plaintiff, as soon as he got to
Ascot-heath, delivered his horse to one of the persons
who usually attend Race• courses, and received a
ticket in order to entitle him to receive his horse again.
As soon as the races were over, he by mistake went
to other stables, and having lost his ticket, received
another horse answering the description of the one he
had hired, the former being in fact the property of
'the defendant, Mr. Eller, who, upon coming to claim
his horse, missed it, and in the result obtained a war-
rant against the plaintiff on a charge of horse-stealing,
which warrant was executed by the defendant Cadwell.
He was taken to a public-house in Swithin's lane,
the resort of constables, where he saw Mr. Eller, who
asked him how he dared totake away his mare from
Ascot, and treat her in die manner in which she ap-
peared to have been used? The plaintiff replied, that
it was entirely a mistake, and was ready to make,any
compensation required. After some altercation, Mr.
Eller demanded ten guineas, bat afterwards reduced
his claim to seven, which- he said was the least sum be
would take. Pending this negotiation plaintiff, was
kept in custody for two hours and on being liberated
the other defendant demanded a compensation for hW
trouble, and was offered five shillings. This sum he
objected to, as being too small, but he was told
that it was quite sufficient, as he had no warrant,
to which he replied that no warrant was necessary,
for he had a right to apprehend a horse-stealer.—
It was then agreed that the parties should meet again
at the same public-house on the Monday following,
and that the plaintiff should pay the compensation
required, make an apology, and staled a beef-stiak
dinner ; but not keeping his appointment, he was af-
terwards summoned before a Magistrate, when he
agreed to pay the money ; but not having done so,
Mr. Eller commissioned his attorney, Mr. Harmer,
to write and acquaint him that if the money was not
immediately paid, an action would be brought against
him. In the mean time the plaintiff brought the pre-
sent action. Counsel being heard on both sides, the
Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, gave
a verdict for the plaiatiff---Danias4 Ws.
