in addition to the former, to enter and inspect the
warehouses ; but ibis nes declined by the Defendants,

and they, thinking the application a most estraprdi.
nary one, resisted it. The Vice•Lhancellor, however,
gave sit order to refer it to the Master to enquire and
Import whether such inspection was necessary; and
against that order this application was made. In
making this reference, his Honour thought he wait
acting best for both parties, as he did not wish per
sullem, to gir• • disert derision for the lospectien of
the pitsmises. This was the order now complained
of. lie contend d that the order was bad and Wm:
gal ; that a men's dwelling-house or warehouse was

'lite importance of the question ass unquestionably

to have it entered at any time under the autho.ity :
the Court of Chancery. He bad braid that the
I.:gheet Emotive Power in the c..utitry could not
enter a ailit's house without his consent ; yet if this
older remained, every men in Loudon might have
his doors opened against his will. In this point of
view, therefore, the present motion was of the highest
importance. If the Defendants, as occupying a house
in London. were obliged to pay '2•. 'hl. in the pound
upon its value, the Rector might, by filing a bill,
compel them to make a discosery of its value;—he
might pet every possible question to them to force a
do.rovery of the truth. and might earn naming them
nr interrogatoriet; hut it lass not oy an order of
this kind he could be allowed to obtain his object.—
Nothing short of a Legislative Act could authorise.
the Court to violate the sanctity of a evati's dwelling.
The supreme power of the country might direct and
qualify the way in which every man should inhabit
his house ; hut such a power had never been moaned
by ibis or any other Court. The order was mast
dangerous in point of precedent and principle. The
sante order sight to-morrow be made against other
Defendants, who might stood in a very dillerent
situation. Ile insisted there was no foundation in
practice ur principle for the order, and submitted it
u•ght to be rescinded.
Mr. WET/ILSELL, in support of the order, con.
tended that it was founded on sound principles.
There was no external criterion by which an estimate
of the value of the premises could be made; the va.
doe of tonne depended upon what esporienced sor..
vey ors should say they ',geld give for them, or what
ought to be the rent supposing them to be let. It
was now settled, by many decisions, that where the
previous rent could not be ascertained, then the va-
luation of tithes was to be taken from the intrinsic
value of the land to the owner. It was necessary, In
this case, that the warehouses should be inwardly
regained, as there way no pn•fihility of knowing
their worth by looking on the outside. From the ar-
guments of his learned Friends, it would seem that
