This was an ingoisititni to ascettaln what coalista.„
sation should he made to the plaintiff for the injury
dose to his land, by harfig had these barracks, which.
are called Viheeley Barracks, erected in it. • '
Mr. WKTIIIBII.I.I. attended for the plaintiff, tind
stated, that he asked a compensation for a minor;
whose estate bad been. greatly injured. The father
of that miner was now a prisoner in the sacil of
Chelmsfoed, reduced to povef ty by indiscOtson, and
the stismanagetuent of those who had the conduct of
'his affairs; and his infant son had no protector, but
the law of his country and the justice of a jury. The
estate, which had been injured by the erection of the
barracks, was called Wheeley.hall, in this county ;
and its former pouessoo. a Mr. Wheeley, adopted as
his .successor hi his property, the lather of the present
plaintiff, a man then certainly very little fitted for the
proper enjoyment of a large fortune ; for be bad been.
bred in very humble life,indeed searee above thelowes!.
1'.14 property was.left.him as tenant for life—to hp
son, the present plaintiff, in lee tail. The father:,
frequently happened to persons in low stations who
become soddenly possessed of wealth, instead of ratio.
nally enjoying his sudden acquisition, dissipated it bx
indiscreet expenditure I 'and tell into great difficulties,.
In the year 1803, the Defence Act was passed, and
IMajor Frederic, who was deputedto inspect the auk
tart' points of this county, 'fixed upon a spat of;..
C6O acres, near Wheeley-hall, as one fit tor harrackei.
The land, at that time, was in the occupation of.e,
Mr. Richardson, h
tenant of the farm, under eoise,
the present plaintiff being only five yearsof age—this
part of the land was. therefore agreed to be underlet
by Mr. Richardson to Major Frederick, as agent of
the Barrack-hoard. But his Lordship would tell tbeau
that, in point of ltw,ttecoold sot let it but slatiocilP
the same covenants as he himself held under, , which
were, to cultivate the land in a husband-like manner,
and not to make waste, by destroying the trees and
fences, and covering the lac* with building. The
barracks were now pulled down, and the Lord Chan.
cellar had directed an issue, to ascertain what was
the damage done to the land. He should chew that,
by digging up gravel and destroying the agricultural
beneht of the land, it would requite. the sum of
47,900 to restore it to its former state. This was the
sum hodemanded.
Two surveyors, of the names of Cubits: and Pe.
tience, then produced their estimates, which went into
a long detstilethe result of which was, that the damage
done to the land by the erection of the barrasks,
which rendered it necessary, now-they were removed,
to AN up excavations, dig up the parades and roads
and cover the surfaces with vegetable mould, he.
,would require an expense of 47,900. - . •
OA. the hand, Mr. GURNEY, for the Barrack
Ziosted.,pro&ced his estimates at £1,700, and the
Yee y pee a verdict for af2,500.
The case lasted till seven at night.
