they were to be divided among the creditors ; and in
case there should be any surplus, it, wae-te. be paid
or reassigned to Stockdale, or his representatlien,
subject to the then existing incombrances. When
the proceeds amounted to 10001-they were to be laid
out in Exchequer hills, and when to 1001. to he de-
posited in the handset certain bankers, for slfecus.
The trustees covenanted that they eoold
never bring actions mailers- him, awl if they did, that
he might plead that deed in bar. It was then pro.
sided, that, in case all the creditors, 'whose debts
amounted to 501. and upwards, did not execute the
deed before the 18th of the ensuing month' it should
be null and void. This deed was executed by many
creditors. but others refused to sign; and Mr. Jef-
hey, er creditor, arrested Mr. Steel:dale.
On the Ist of April. 1814, an agreement was ese.
meted, as to the retail trade ; and after this, Mr.
Steckdale was permitted till his death to carry on
that business, and was not to he interfered in, till it
was seen th.ir his property would sent folly pay his
creditors. lie preformed all the stipulations in the
deed ; unless the omission of filename of Mr. Crewe„
one of his creditors, should he considered as an un-
fair representation of his affairs ; but it had never
been imputed in any of the proceedings, tart he omit. •
ted that name with an improper view. Several ere.
ditors, however, 'snobd not come in. One took out
-a comelission of brekreptcy, and then another eon.
mission was betted ; acid when he died, n'etommis.
Won was: standing against him. By his still, made
many yearcheforee. he appointed his wife Pliecutrix,
and residuary legatee;. and she ought to have been
permitted to ovary cAr besiness, for the support ref
herself and: family,. She took feessessiete; but a hilt
was soon afterwards fil.d.by Mr-Smith, a creditor,
whose debt was.contracted subsequent to the e=cru
scion of the deed of trust,, to have an account taken
against her aeewecutritt. Application was then made
fur the appointment of a receiver, and the Court di-
sleeted s. reference to. the Master. The learned
Counsel then proceeded to state, that the trustees.
had sold part of the testator's property, and it was',
charged by the bill, that they had sold enough. to
pay all the creditors. The debts amounted to rather
more than 10,0001. and they had received neelrris of
1.8,(XX)I. They had sold a great part ..f lite hooks.
belostiing to Mr. Stockdale, but they had almost all
thlteisetwes become the purchasers, at extremely re.
duce.) pricey, hating given about one-third of what
the'vropeity *oultl have produced at a retail price;;
but they thought proper to make the sales among
booksellers only.

The LORD Cu A NMLLOA here asked, in what man-
ner those sales were conducted. Did the booksellers
bid one above Rim/her
Sir.SAXWEL ROMILLY replied, he knew nothing of
the mysteries of those trade sides; hut notl•ing could
more strongly show the impropriely of trustees be-
coming purchasers than whit the Wien(' tilts stated.
In fact, they hail been enabled to make a profit of
sisq-sis tier Cent.
The LORD CHANCELLOR.--" If i am not mis.
taken, the booksellers do not permit any other per-
son to come into the site-room, but teach says,
want Ibis article, and then he takes it at nis own
• prices This is a very comical mode of selling pro-
perty ; it is a kind of unintelligible contract, known
only to the honk sellers themselves."
Sir. SA:4U ft. RODULI.Y continued. The trustees

b3d.thought it right to stop Mn.s Storkilalo's road
hs havilig 'recourse to the mortgage ride of
1813. She en.!easoored to resist that proceeding,
but ids Lordship thought she could not., rind they
teco'reted judgment, amid went and turned her out.—
They had since brought an action for mesne profits;
The question was, whether this Nal not really in
direct opposition to the good faith of the agreement
Pada wit h Mr. Stockdale, who was not to bedisturbed
till it appeared whether his other' property would
produce 20s. in the pound. These genilemen,
however, wanted to put an end to that trade, as
Sim S. lead given great offence to them. As to the
Douro in Old Bond street, Mr. Applegarth uns the
morlogee, hut he had made himself one of the
trustees, and had undertaken to manage the con,
terns to the hest advantage. Since Mr. Stockdale's
death, that house bad remained unoccupied, and
Mrs. S. took o poet herself to enter into an agreement
to let It to Mr. Lowe at 2001. a year, -vith a pro-
miurit of 1001. on panting (he lease. The trustees
had no person who offered a higher rent ; hut they
Mated, that they were proceeding against Lowe, for

the purpose of baring the premises untenanted, es
far as he was concerned : they did not say, that they
knew the value of that property. All that 11 n. S.
desised was, that the agreement with Lowe might be
referred to the Master ; and, if he should find it
beneficial, that a lease might hr setttotl, stud that the
Court would restrain the 1.),,fe dams from proceed- •
log in the action for !nestle profits.
Mr. ltcr.r. followed on the same side. Tie observed,
that the I)'tetldauts insinuated, that the instrument.
of April, 1131 1, did not form part of the original
agreement oil!' Mr. Stockolale ; but it was etidently!
one traosactiots. Mr. Stockdale's shop was the resort
of literary men, for reading the political pamphlets'.
of the day; it was highly important, therefore, that
he should retain the retail trade, with a capital of
1(001. and if that was the meardue with resiewt to
I~lr. S. it must be the same in regard in his widow,
who was his executrix, nod residary legatee. One
of the Defendants said, that he hail a mortgage on
the lira-Telt) ; hut if he had held forth to Mr. S. as
an alleantage, that he should carry on the retail trade,
and that trade could not be carried un without the:

hou‘e, m mild he guilty of a breach of grind faith,
if he were now to art on his security. The Learned
Couitsel had hen rd of a rise of a marriage settlement,
here.the holy hail obli4ed her intended husband to
covestaist, that he would keep her a carriage ; he did
keep • a carriage, but too coachman or horses, so
that the object she had in view was entirely frustrated.
This was a similar free; but it remained for the
Court to deride, whether • the Defendant was not
bound to receive his money out of thegeneral assign-
ment, withr,ut resorting to this security, As to the
mode its %%111(11 the trade sales were coodocted, he he.

Mr. BELL.iben stated what Mr. Bensley and Mr.
Key gave at the trade sales, being about one-third of
the retail. prices.
I- The LORD CIIANCFLLOR.--" I want to learn of
the trustees hew these sales were conducted. Did
Ithey all meet, as if they were bu% ing the properly
of one another? I must unde,stand how the fact
is. I cannot admit a.hookseller who i 4 a trustee,
to he a purchaser, any more than any other per-
son."

Mr. Brut..--M Your Lordship sees, that it is an
excellent way to di•poce of a bankrupt'+ property to
let his friends have a good bargain. I have no doubt,
when the accounts are made nut,. that the costs of
these suits against Mrs. S. will form a considerable
item, and that the trustees will endeavour to reduce
the property. I submit, hoiseter, that they have
greed improperly at these sales, and that they ought
to- he restrained ftom proceeding for ,the mesne
profits."
This was the case on the part of Mrs. Stnckdale.
Mr. flirt and Mr. Wingfield are retained on the
other side : but as the former Gentleman was plead-
ing hefute the Vice•ChancPllor when Mr. Bell con.
eluded his argument, the Loup Cituscet.t.ou di.
rected the matter to be proceeded in* tornoirour.—
Ilk Lordship did not think it right, in the absence
of Mr. Vert,. to inetitiem what he thought of it.

COURT OF Kpirrs nENCu, Doc.L
T. LAXE V Ae4Es ‘rei.Eo%Tr.

This Nat an fiction fewa libel, instil shed against
the Plaintiff by the I)efentl,int, in clue life-time of
her husband. The charge in the libel was of a dia-
bolical nature, and %As contained in a letter which
the Defendant had found in a bona* whictrthe Plain-
tiff had formerly inhabited. The circumstances are
much too disgusting to admit of detail, even were
they of interest.
For the Deleitilaitt a paper was produced, signed
by birth parties same time previous to the Cl/111111111.110."
lIIPIIi of proceedings, in which, on condition that the
Potentlaid would barn certain papers, the Plaintiff
agreed not to commence ails action.

an accord and saii.faction that could tie loves, in eti.
deuce, under t-e general isime in an action run the
case; and as only nominal damages could be given
after proof.

sented that a Juror should be n htlra nu. It bp.
peered clear, twit the Imre, which was the founds.
1100 of this action, had been written by the head of
a gang of tioreilde some tinut. since exhi.

means to wool, money from many respectable and
distingoistied indisiduals ; harnig acxitiontally de-
volved into she hands of the Deiviallent; Oho tr‘d had
some disputes with the • Plaintiff; elne'emplojed it in
a manner very injurious to the theiactil of the
latter. •

HUCKIitI4R V. E. swiss, T. RUROF'4,ANP R. BURGS.
This oasts occupied a considerahle,portion of the
time of the Court, but the facts . may be shortly
stated.
The Plaintiff, who keeps epuklic-liouse, WIS in-
debteil to the Dc ern-lint Jones 261. for coals,. and
not being able to obtain payment, Jones sued out a.
Marsha'sea writ, which the two oilier laffetninnl4,
officers the Mar•lialsea Court, wore to esecute.—
On the 14th Septemher, they went to
the house of the Plaintiff, iti,Golderi.latie, for the
yui Fo,c of arresting him ; •and telling him their ob,
krt, agte..ti to wait until'he could spoil for bail,'
White they were in another part of the house, Muck-
sler, she Plaintiff, ran off %Puma his •hat, and the.
officers werg consequently defeated. They went
gigabit on Sunday morning, the .17th •of September,
basing b PH informed! that Huckak'r hid returned ;
and, during Divine Service, by breaking open the
door they entered the house, and seized the Plaintiff
by the collar with great violence, using very abusive
language, and threatening to carry him to Newgate.
While they were struggling, 4 tailor, named Dunt, •
oho happened to be there, interfered in favour of the
Plaintiff, insisting upon seeing the warrant, which
the officers pretended was for an escape. *.• No such
anthori•y was, however, produced, a Marshalsen writ
being qll they could show. The valiant• tailor soc.
seeded in c((• (( !telling the officers In gait their hold of
the Plaintiff, and a mob being assembled, the con-
stables of the parish were called in, who refused to
act in behalf of the officers on the insufficient war-
rant exhibited, which alone could not justify either a
forcible entry nt any time, or a mere arrest on Sun-
day. After remaining in the house about three
hours, the officers resigoicil the cosiest, and for the
outrage the Plaintiff brought this action of trespas
and assault. For the Plailltiti it was 41.40 stated, that
his wife had heels so alarmed by the violence offered
to her husband, that idie died a week after •tards,
leaving four young children : but the Chief Justice
held, that evidence of this fact could not be admitted
as q ground for special damage, iheogltir might •be
used to show the brutal e Imo of the ocers.
For the Defendants the Arrottatelr.G ffiErscitxt sub-
mitted, that no proof had been given rt. (stake Jones
a party to line tioiettee used by toe 'officers executing
his writ, nod that be 11.4,4 consequently entitled to
the verdict of the Jury. With regard to the Barges,
he produced a witness who: gave a more moderate
statement of their proceedings, and otherwise con-
tradicted this testinsoily on the other side.
The Jury found a verdict for the Defeiwlant Jones;
and for the Plaiittiff—Damages 401. aseiust T. and
11. Burge.
