COURT OF CHANCERY,-DUBLIN, JUNE 9.

MALONE V. &CONNER AND OTHERS.
It will, no doubt, he in the recollection of many of our read-
ers, that this is a suit instituted by John Malone, Esq. brother
of Richard Malone Raymonl, Esq., the respected lessee of
the Liver Theatre in this town, for recovery of estates and
property in Ireland, worth many thousands per annum, left
by the will of the Right Hon. Anthony Malone to his heirs
male in succession, and which the plaintiff claims as now
being the next male heir of the testator, all the intermediate
possessors having died without male issue, or such issue being
extinct. About the latter end, of last year the Lord Chancel-
lor directed an issue into the Court of Queen's Bench, to
ascertain certain facts relative to the plaintiff's claims, and, on
the 14th December, after a trial which occupied the court nine
days, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The defend-
ants afterwards applied for a new trial, which, owing to the
magnitude of the property at stake, his lordship granted on
certain conditions; and, amongst others, he directed, that
the verdict found for the plaintiff, on the 14th December, should
be given in evidence on the second trial, and that th'e cost of
the first trial should be paid to the plaintiff. Against this
decision the defendants appealed to the House of Lords, and,
pending that appeal, have made another application to his
lordship. After counsel had been heard on both sides, the
Chancellor in giving his decision, said, that he wished to avoid
anything that might prejudice the parties; but he must
,say,
that he had no reason to be dissatisfied with the verdict which
had been given : he did not think this case came within the
cases cited to show that proceedingi should be stopped in case
of an appeal, and, under the circumstances of the case, he
could not help saving, that the appeal was frivolous, but that
a higher tribunal would decide. There was one observation
which he would rather not have been obliged to make, and that
was, that he could not help thinking that there was a studied
system of delay on the part of the defendants: on one side the
party was in possession, and armed with all the advantages of
considerable wealth, while the plaintiff was struggling with
poverty. Between these parties he would endeavour to hold
an equal hand : he would certainly take care not to permit any
u4equal facilities to either party. 'Under the ci tam instance he
must refuse the first part of the application, and the other part
of the application must fail if the appeal failed. How was the
plaintiff to go to trial if he had not the means of obtaining and
bringing up witnesses. In fact, there was no reason why the
plaintiff should not get costs.
