Mr. Ttniiietpressetildsregret tiaTite had been
absent yesterday when the o►der was made for dis.
charging the ',eviler in this case, but he now appear.
ed in behalf of two other annoitarqs, whose interests
he hoped would be attended to before the receiver
was discharged.
The LORD CUARCILLOR was afraid he hail perhaps
dans too much in the affair of the other anneltsot
yesterday bet the tam might as well be mentioned to
him on Monday morning. Any future applications
by ether annuitants could only be mad* by 61ing a
Bill.

TUE UONOURAILI N. VtLLOWES V TIII EIIL Or

The ATTOIYIT•GtNLR.IL moved, en behalf of
the Noble Defendant, that it might be referred to the
blaster to empire and report whet trees on the estate
le geestion bed been planted, and were standing for
shelter end ornament. flit I,nrd.hip would recol.
lect that a motion hail recenily been made for com-
mitting the Noble Earl to prison nn account of his
lasting cot down some ornamental trees, an injonc.
lien having been previously issued, rrstrtioill him
from ceiling down any trees of that kind. The In.
junction went farther, for as it at present stood, it
prohibited him from cutting any tree of any kind.—
Such, however, never could hare been what the
Court intended by the order, and therefore the
Noble Eul had no alternative bet to take this st..p.
Indeed, it was self.ribrions obit inlet, the trees
planted and growing for 'mute/tent were specifically
pointed out, the Noble Earl would not be at liberty
to eat a single branch for the necettary reptirt of the
premises ; and it never had been his intention in any
way to dilapidate the estate, or deface it, by cutting
down any ornaments ; for, on the contrary, he we,
as anxious as any man could possibly be to preserve
its beatify, and transmit it unimpaired to his s
tors. That such a mnii. n as the present could be
opposed, he would not believe, considering the
, snidely that the Plaintiff hail Oman in a former in-
stance to bare the trees specified, end tech being the
caw, be wit ennfitieut that he would not, by per
severing in litigatinn for nn purpose, continue to h
h is Noble brother, the Defendant.
Mr. TessiLova fullowed on the tame tide.

Mr. HART said, ho appeared us Counsel for the
Plaintiff, and meat express his satitfictlon with the
manner in which this motion was tirought forward,
reeollectiog that it had bean formerly opposed *ben
made.

The Loma Co ancrat.on said, that nothing could
be mare clear than that this Cnert would not permit
any ornamental tree, area thnegh decaying, to be
cot down. In some places the eery circumstance of
their so decaying was cenridered es high an ornament
as could be. Hs ordered the motion to be taken in
lb* terms of the Injunction.

Mr. Teasscove said, one of Or tree, cot down
had been split by the wind. and for this the Defend-
ant was ihrestened with committal.
Mr. lIART.—And so be should.
It was finally agreed to settle the minutes out of
Court.

SINGULAR CASE.

hr. HART said, he was instructed to move !bat
his Lordship should discharge the Order of the 2:1
of Augost, 1816, sod that no further payment of
3001. a year should be made to the girl alleged to be
the daughter of the late Colonel Surgesson. The
application, it would be recollected, was formerly
made by him to the Court, on the affidavit of the
Rey. Wm. Surpasses which slated, that he had oh.
seined information that the girl in question was not
his laic brother's daughter, bat a mere sepposilloos
child. The Court had, however, at tiler time, re.
fused the application, unless strong affidavits of the
fact were produced; not judging it prudent in re.
move a l oong Lady from It. iitralion she had held
for 16 years in a most respectable family, unless the'
cfrongtat proas were adduced of her not being a
member of the family. There had accordingly been

would now detail. The first was the affidavit of
Anne which stated, that she was a number of
years ago fa with Bernard Kerr; from whose
house she went to Sycamore-alley, to the house of
