LAW oirstAVENCE. •

COURT OF CHANCERY, VAT fi. •

WATERS V. TAYLOR.

This was a Bill of Exceptions taken by Me:Ttly•
for to various parts of the Master's Report. Tire
first exception related to a claim of Mr. Harris, the
patentee of Covent-garden Theatre, for five thousand
pounds, or an annuity of 2501. in coesiderition of
his hating vested with the trustees of the Opeta-
house a certain patent, milled Killegrew's Dormant
Patent, whereby those trustees were secured against
any loss or danger which they might incur in the
event of a rival Theatre or Opera-house being open-
ed under the authority of the said patent. It was by
Mr. Taylor objected to that claim, that the condi-
tions of the agreement between Mr. Harris and the
trustees for the Opera-house, had never been duly
executed on the part of the former: the full right
and property in Killegrew's patent, in fact, not be.
lon gi g to Mr. Harris, who owned only a certain
portion of the property, namely, 46 sixtieths, while
the remaining 14 sixtieths belonged to Mr. Martin.
dale, in right of his wife, the daughter of
.Mr.
Powell, formerly one of the proprietors of Covent-
garden Theatre, deceased. It was .argued on the
other side, that though the pet formance of the con-
tract by Mr. Harris had not been in strict conformity
to legal forms, it was virtually and substantially fol-
' and no complaint or apprehension to the con-
trary had ever fate, till now, been expressed by
Mr. Taylor, who had been himself a party to the
agreement by which the patent of Killegrew had
twen transferred by Mr. Harris to the Drury-lane
Company conjointly with the trustees of the Opera-,
bo use.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed, that the Re-
port of the Master was certainly very unsatisfactory
in relation to the facts that had been disclosed, for
nothing could he more dear than the't the terms of
the Contract had not legally beau fulfilled by Mr. 11.
arid the silence or acquiescence of Taylor did by no
means alter or unsettle that fact. Ile should, thee-
fore, refer that point to the, Muter for re-considers.
lion, with liberty for the production of any fresh
evidence that might be necessary. The second els
ception related to an annuity of two hundred pounds,
with which the Opera-house estate had been charged
in behalf of Robert Bray O'Reilly, Esq. a claimant,
who was said to have died in Paris, and which an-
nuity had long been enjoyed by Iloneria O'Reilly,
the administrating sister of the late annuitant, though
strong doubts were said to exist as to the time of
Mr. O'Reilly's death, which had no authentic verifi-
cation, but rested only on the vague testimony or
statement, not on oath, of two persons in France,
who said no more, or could say no more, than that
a person named O'Reilly, and from Ireland, had
died at the time mentioned, and at the place de-
scribed.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR was of opinion, that
though the testimony as to the death of Mr. O'Reilly
was not conformable to the legal forms in this coun-
try, yet if it was sanctioned by the Government of
the country in which it took place, it was admissible
presumptive evidence; and, indeed, it wes riot very
dissimilar to the parochial practice in this country.—
His Honour directed that the exception should go to
the Master, who would institute aft enquiry as to
what the consideration was that had been paid by,Mr.
Waters, and further, that Mr. Waters should be ex-
amined on the occasion.
• The third exception related to an implied obligation
on the part of Mr. Taylor, to make good an eugago-
ment which had been entered into by the late Mr.
Goold, to pay a considerable sum of money to Mr.
Di Hayes, a hired and eminent performer.
This exception was likewise ordered by his Hoootra
to be returned to the Master for re-consideretions but
without prejudice to any of the parties?
The Court was occupied during the greater pert of
'the day on this cause, and the considetatiou of the
, other exceptions was postpooed to the Nett day of
Petitions.

The Defendant was convicted in the penalty isf 501.
