Tut Vict•Citancet.Loa—" This is a very im-
portant caw, at it relates to Landlerd and Tenant.
This is a bill Bled by the Noble Plaintiff agalost the
Defendants, his tenants, praying for as bisection
to restrain them from grinding their corn at any mill
bat his, which was erected on the estate mad kept in
repair by him. It has been ably contended by the
Loomed Cosatel in support of the bill, that accord.
ing to the castor of lb try, tenants were obliged
to send their cora to the mill of their landlord to be
amend; and they quoted two cases, in which ibe
Judges of the Court of Escheqeer decided the goes-
lion in favour of the landlord. I think those cases
are sufficient eethority for me to grant the lojeaction
its this case as prayed for. Bet there ate two other
gaieties, which arise out of this C 8 090, which, in my
opiilnet can only be decided by a verdict of a Jury.
Tito (sat, whether the Noble Plaiotirs reseovel of
the too osigiwal water-mills and a mill of horse
power, and substiteling for them a mill forced by
means, bus so infringed oa the compact, on the part
of the landlord, as to do away with Me rights of cus-
tom ; and the second, whether the crell.mg of corn
can or cannot be considered grinding it ! I will
therefore direct an isms to the Court of Law, to try
thee, two questions, bet before I do so, I will take
an opportunity of consulting with the Lord Chancel-
lor, as loth. terms the issues might to bedirectedio."
