Mr. oteon had got rid of his nlrurofltable lease; be had doubted Ben elli's responsibility;' he ha cruired, ,and he obtained,thebestsuretie8 which o4 ntihbegive2n foruthu cment of the rent; lie baa sued Benelli for speific perfonnitthe of the contract he had proceeded by an aitiot at law to tecover the valse :of thte bond : anl tinder entoeseiuen- stancenbyes hihon he lead seiabciually divested hinisel f of the legal estate, and oppiwn it oe mienelli and his surities, lie now raer to require thenert to abstract the only security whiand the bendsimen 'i3Gu beche theatre itself, aty d nut It in the curtody of thce 'Cotref Al I they ashed waA the contract -andi. bnr. Ebera chese to release iihe suretie fron their legal liabilities, for:ny th ing that they cared lie would he most welcome to the motion. THate ewhich thety did object to was, that they should be ieldby their legal liabilites under a state of things, ant a sitution of the property, totallv different from those tnder whichi a hl y becamw e bound. The LorD CHASNCELLOR said that the main question was- whether the securities etoUld be held bound, except as to the legal effnets of the lease. ilr. ThazsLovE followed. Ther. ihotwE, and observe; on the ine uitable nature of Mr. Ebers' motion, in tregArd to the legal ialy of the sureties; h ecause tMr. Bieers, when appointed to the itan ement, would soon obtain e ossession of more money than would tuffice to pey the half-year's ren, and he would immedihtely apply it to the fulfilmnent of his own contraCt. IIOW Was it possible to. allot him that pnower without first calling upon him to release the securitiafrone their legal liabilities for the payment of the rent n Mr. e HtAT, for the plaintiff, replied-. ani contendedl that the onlye o-bject iri opposing flhe motion was, that of frighitening Alr. Ebers inoon surrender of the sureties whiby he held, and which no equity nogala irhpeach or toucch by putting the property of the theatre, for the safety of' which be was ultimately beundl, I a ste of peril, which not only tcn reatencd deatruactin to the property but to Alt. Ebers also, if he should fail In his suit.,'lie contended that it Was for the intgrest of all parties theat r. Ebers should be pet into the anaagement of the property, when, from the whole face a-nd colour of the transactions, all parties were evidently of opinion that MAlr. Ben(lli should not be allowed to touch a farthing of the money. The Loan CHeANrCELLtOR said that the questiosi was if the sureties haid'any thing to do with the contract between R~ers and Beneli apart fromathe indenturesof the leasTe. The Court could not insist upon poitting sureties in a worse situation than that iRt which they hd plaiced themselves. There might be miany equitltes in thie ,contract between Ebers and Benelli, in which the sUTeties could not be implicated beyond the terms and indentures of the lease. A surety had a right tosay-" Don't tell me that I shball be betterdealt with in suchi or such a atate of tnanagemnert. I have only bounid nmyself to -i partiictuilar suretty, wwhiichb is void if you:ihsiAt upon doing th4at which you have engaged slhall not be done withotit mny consent. You may proceed to resumne t'he maniagement uTnder the,powers of re-entry ; but you do it nt yourown peril with regatrd to the equitable conditions of the bond by whiich you hold me." No doubt Mtl. Fibers was right if lie could succeed in forcing them so far to abide by the conitract, and wavinig that right whiclh lie certainly could avail him- self of to re-enter by an action at law : but his Lordship could dis. ,cover nio right in hihnself' to alter the general law of sureties. He proposed to take home the affidavits and the two trust-deeds, and -give them a careful perusal before he pyronouncedA upon the motion. COURT OF CHANCERY.
