O'CoNso0n,-ln this case the defendant, Mr. Valentine O'Connor, had appealed from the order of the Lord Chancellor Manners, di- recting him to comnlete the purchase of an estate in the county of Galway, whicli he had bought under a decree of the Court ; and to pay the purchase.money,`9, 001., into Court immediately. Alr. O'Connor paid the purchase-money into Court, ar,;l instantly ap. pealed from the order,.complaining of the injustice of holding him to the purchase of an estate with a bad titlb, as that was, and desir- ing to be exonerated frotn ;he purchase.

O'connor entirely from the pur- cimase, and ordered tihat he should he repaid lis parclase-atoney, 19,i0001. with interest, and allhis costs.
