REGISTRATION FORMS.—The FORMS

regretted he had not jurisdiction, because the other cause was before another branch of the Court. The defendant should have come to your lordship and asked for leave to give a notice of motion in both causes.

The LORD CHANCELLOR.-I think the notice of motion should have been in both causes, or leave to give notice should have been obtained in the way pointed out by Mr. Parker.

Parker.-The Vice-Chancellor said he had jurisdiction in one cause only, and all he could do was to direct the cause to stand over. The other suit was instituted by residuary legatees, and there were no parties present to protect the interests of annuitants and other legatees. The Vice-Chancellor said they might have applied to the Lord Chancellor, and that he could not conceive why some means had not been taken to place the two causes in one branch of the court.

The LORD CHANCELLOR.-The difficulty seems to have arisen from that.

VOL. VII. No. 170.

The LORD CHANCELLOR.-The Vice-Chancellor rected it to stand over; the decree amounts to nothing merely postponed the hearing of the cause; he dimore than a direction to let the cause stand over for the present, with leave to the parties to proceed in the other cause before Vice-Chancellor Wigram, as they think fit. That is only postponing his decision. established precedent has been departed from. Is that a ground of appeal? Mr. Parker says the

Goodeve.-The cases cited on the other side relate to creditors' suits. There is a distinction between creditors and legatees, because the former claim paramount to the will. The Court does not necessarily give legatees costs. The case in Jacob & Walker's Reports is founded on its special circum(Hayward v. Constable, 2 Younge & Col. Exch. Rep. stances. The Court is not bound by any such rule. 43; Moore v. Prior, ibid. 375.) In the latter case the order was that the suit be stayed, and the question of costs was reserved. (Cumming v. Slater, You. & Col. C. C. 585.) The second cause was ordered to directions, and that one decree should be made in stand over, and come on with the other cause on further both suits. Here the Vice-Chancellor gave the plaintiff leave to apply in the other suit.

The LORD CHANCELLOR.-Why should he have leave to go in more than any other legatee? The Master makes a report upon the will, and any legatee may except to the report if his particular interest is not attended to, and if delay takes place, any legatee

may apply to have the conduct of the cause. What is he to do? Leave to do what?

Parker.-To attend the proceedings in the Mas-ber. That the said John Hindley, by his will, bear

ter's office.

Goodeve.-Other legatees have the same right to go in to watch the proceedings as the plaintiff. Kenyon Parker, Roupell, jun. and Tripp, for other defendants.

Parker, in reply, cited Holden v. Kynaston, 2 Beavan, 205.

The LORD CHANCELLOR.-This appeal must be dismissed. When the Court disposes of a cause, it disposes of the costs also; but here there was no final order, only a postponement of the final determination. As to the form of the order, it exactly corresponds with that in Moore v. Prior, in 2 Y. & Col. Exch. Rep. The question of costs is entirely in the discretion of the Court, which is quite competent to postpone the one cause until the other has been heard and finally disposed of. Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce doubtless thought that as he had no control over the other cause, some inconvenience might arise if he had made any order; and he adopted it, without any reference to the cause pending in the Court of Vice-Chancellor Wigram, as was done in the case reported in the Exchequer. I think it was quite competent to the Vice-Chancellor to take that course. As to the main question, the construction of the will, I must be quite satisfied the testator wished these annuities to be paid before the legatees, before I can reverse the decision of the Vice-Chancellor upon that ground; but I think no priority has been established. I cannot accede to the argument of Mr. Parker, that these annuities must be considered to come under the class of debts. Unless I am clearly satisfied that the testator intended a preference, I cannot give the annuitants priority; and there appears to me to be nothing in the will to take them out of the ordinary rule of equity, that all annuitants and legatees are to take equally. The appeal will be dismissed with costs.

ing date the 5th of April, 1808, gave and bequeathed unto his wife Ann the said leaseholds, to hold the same, subject to certain yearly rents and payments, and also subject and chargeable with the payment of the interest of the sum of 9961., secured thereon by way of mortgage, unto his said wife and her assigns, during the term of her natural life; and from and immediately after her decease, he gave and bequeathed the same unto his nephew, John Hindley, the defendant, subject and chargeable as aforesaid, and also subject and chargeable with the payment of the said principal sum of 9961. and interest thereon, to grow due from the decease of his said wife Ann. By a codicil to his will, bearing date the 15th Feb. 1817, the testator ratified and confirmed the devise of the said leaseholds to his said wife Ann and her assigns for her life, subject to the payment of the interest of such sum and sums of money as remained due and owing on mortgage of the same estate, or for which the title-deeds thereof might remain pledged; and from and after her decease he did ratify and confirm the devise thereof unto his said nephew, John Hindley, his heirs, executors, adminis. trators, and assigns, subject and chargeable, nevertheless, with the payment of the several charges in his will mentioned, and also to such sum and sums of money as might be then due and owing on mortgage of the same estate, or for which the title-deeds might remain pledged by way of security. That John Hindley died in August, 1817. The bill, moreover, stated that by an indenture, bearing date the 18th day of August, 1839, after reciting, as the facts were, among other things, that the said two principal sums of 9961. and 401. (amounting together to the sum of 1,0361.) only remained due and owing upon the said several securities, "all interest for the same having been paid." It was witnessed that, in consideration of 1,0367. Charles Wigglesworth, Sarah Wigglesworth, John Stowe and Rebecca his wife (the representatives of John Dawber, then deceased), with the privity and consent of Ann Hindley, then Ann Milns, did assign unto the plaintiff, Joseph Gregson, his executors, administrators, and assigns, all the said two principal The petition in this matter was presented by Mr. sums of 9961. and 401. and all interest to grow due F. Webb, the nephew and tenant in tail in remainder thereon, and all the benefit and advantage thereof of an estate, of which John Webb, the alleged lunatic, respectively, to have and enjoy the said principal sum was tenant for life. The petition prayed a commis- and interest, as and for his and their own proper sion to inquire into the state of mind of the alleged goods and chattels for ever. And by the same indenlunatic, stating that, after a confinement of several ture the said leaseholds were also assigned to the months in the establishments of two of the most plaintiff, John Gregon, his heirs and assigns, subject eminent medical men in Paris, he was now in a state to a proviso for redemption on payment by Ann of hopeless insanity. The affidavits of Sir T. Chern-Milns, or the person who, after her decease, should be side, the physician to the British embassy, and several French physicians, corroborated this statement. Mr. Webb had large landed estates in York shire and Lincolnshire, producing an income of 12,4007. but in consequence of an insane passion for pictures and articles of vertu, he had incurred debts to the extent of 58,600l. which had been paid by money borrowed from the West of England Fire and Life Assurance Company, and which now formed a charge on the life estate, requiring, with the sum for the insurance of the lunatic's life, an annual outlay of 4,9001. The expenses of management were 2,500l. more, and the petitioner alleged, that as the estates were in the hands of a manager who had not given any security, there was an additional reason for asking the protection of the Court.

Romilly and Busk supported the petition, James Parker and Walford opposed, and read affidavits to shew that Mr. Webb had been removed lately an establishment in Paris, where the treat ment was very different from that under which his illness had hitherto continued, and that there was a reasonable prospect of his recovery.

The LORD CHANCELLOR.-The case is of such a

nature that no harm can be done by allowing the case to stand over for a short time, in order to ascertain the effect of the new treatment to which Mr. Webb is now subjected. Let the matter be in the paper on the day before the last seal.

The matter has not been again mentioned.

entitled in reversion to the said hereditaments, unto
the plaintiff, John Gregson, his executors, adminis-
trators, or assigns, the sum of 1,0367. and interest.
That the name of the plaintiff, John Gregson, was
made use of in the said last-mentioned indenture, as
a trustee for the said Ann Milns, and that the said
sum of 1,0361. was in fact advanced by her. That
Ann Milns died in 1842. The bill then, among other
things, prayed that the defendant, John Hindley,
might be decreed to obtain a renewed lease of the
mortgaged premises, and that such renewed lease
might be declared to be well charged with the payment
of the said principal money and interest.

Wakefield and Faber, for the plaintiff, contended
that the interest had been paid from time to time, and
that it was not at all probable that it should have
been paid all at once.

Bethell contended that, so far from there being any
proof that interest had been paid from year to year,
there was not even an allegation that interest had
been paid from the death of the mortgagor in 1817,
till the executing the indenture of 1839, an interval
of more than twenty years, and therefore the Statute
of Limitations would operate as a bar.
Roupell, Malins, Metcalf, Tennant, Campbell, Gold-
smith, Hubback, Bennett, and Barton, for the several
other parties.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR.-What you are required
to prove is, that payments of interest have been made
within twenty years. As to the fact stated in the
bill, taking it at the utmost, is, that on the 18th of
August, 1839, all interest had been paid; very differ-
ent indeed from an averment that interest had been

is a peculiar case, for it appears that the equity of redemption was devised to A for life, with remainder to B. Suppose it to be the fact that, for more than twenty years, no interest had been paid during A's life, a serious question would arise, namely, whether, Mortgage-Tenant for life-Statute of Limitations. after the reversioner had obtained the benefit of the A tenant for life of a mortgage estate, admitted by Statute, it would be competent for the tenant for way of recital, in a deed that interest on the mort-life, by her own act, to create a mortgage that gage had been paid: Held, not to be a sufficient ac- should be redeemable.

My opinion is, that for the sake of admitting proof of payment from time to time, a specific set of facts ought to have been alleged in the bill. I can easily conceive that the grossest fraud might be practised on the remainderman, as for a

The bill stated, among other things, that by an indenture, bearing date the 12th of August, 1806, John Hindley mortgaged certain renewable leaseholds for lives, at Marton, to John Dawber, for 9961., and at the same time executed a bond for the same sum; and that he afterwards further charged the said leaseholds with the repayment of 401. to the said John Daw

Monday, March 9. MUSTON v. BRADSHAW, Pleading-Specific performance of agreement-Deeds in possession of vendor's wife. purchaser filed his bill for specific performance, wherein he stated that upon application to the vendor for inspection of certain title-deeds belonging to the property, he refused to produce them, on the ground of his not being able to make out a good title or to produce the said title-deeds, by reason of his wife, H. B. having broken open a box and taken them away, the contrary whereof the plaintiff charged to be true; the bill nevertheless stated that the vendor's wife admitted that the said deeds were in her possession, but that she claimed an interest in, or had some claim upon the estate for her sole and separate use independently of her husband, and refused to deliver up or produce any of the said deeds or documents, unless her said alleged interest or claim was first satisfied, or some provision made for her out of the purchase-money. The plaintiff charged that the vendor's wife had not, and never had, any interest in the said estate, but if she had, it was subject to the plaintiff's contract, and that there was collusion between the vendor and his wife to defeat the agreement. The bill prayed that, if necessary, the defendants might answer separately and for specific performance, and that H. B. the vendor's wife, might be decreed to deliver up the title-deeds. A demurrer by H. B. for want of equity allowed. It appears by the bill, that by an agreement bearing date the 2nd of April, 1845, the defendant, G. M. Bradshaw, agreed to sell, and the plaintiff agreed to purchase, the property in question for 7,9991. subject to a good title being thereunto made. That various applications had been made by the plaintiff to the said defendant, G. M. Bradshaw, to perform his part of the said agreement; but that he refused so to do, alleging his inability to make out a good title to the freehold and inheritance of the premises in question, and particularly that he was unable to deliver up, or procure to be delivered up, the title-deeds and muniments of title relating thereto; but the plaintiff charged the contrary of such allegations and pretences to be the truth. The bill then charged, that shortly after the 15th of May, 1845, the defendant, G. M. Bradshaw, stated to the plaintiff, that all the deeds relating to the title of the estate were then in his possession, and that plaintiff and his solicitor could see such deeds; that on the 22nd May, 1845, the plaintiff, with his solicitor, attended at the house of the defendant, Bradshaw, who produced all the title-deeds relating to the said estate; and, amongst others, indentures of lease and release of the 29th and 30th October, 1776, and a certain other deed bearing date the 6th October, 1841, which completed his aforesaid title; the last of which deeds was a conveyance of the legal estate from the trustees of a will under which defendant was entitled to other trustees, to uses to bar dower. The bill then charged that on a subsequent occasion the plaintiff and his solicitor attended at the house of the defendant for the purpose of examining the said titledeeds, and upon applying to the defendant to produce the said deeds, he refused so to do, alleging that he was unable to produce the said deeds and documents, by reason, as he alleged, that his, the said defendant's, wife had broken open a box in which the said defendant had kept such deeds and documents, and had taken them away, and that his said wife refused to give them up to him, or to inform him where the same were; and the said defendant also alleged that, under such circumstances, the said deeds were no longer under his control. The bill then charged that afterwards, and on the same occasion, Harriett Bradshaw, the wife of the said defendant, came into the room, and she then and there admitted or stated that the said deeds, or some of them, were in her possession; or that she knew where they then were, and could produce them; but she also then and there stated that she claimed an interest in, or had some claim upon, the said estate, or to that effect; and although she did not then state, and, in fact, upon being asked to do so, refused to state what her said alleged interest or claim was, she positively refused to deliver up or produce any of the said deeds and documents, or to state where the same were, unless her said alleged interest or claim was first satisfied, or some provision was made for her out of the said estate, or the purchase-money for the same. The bill then charged, that the said female defendant still claims some interest in the said estate, and in the said deeds; and she claims such interest for her sole and separate use, and idependently of the said other defendant, her husband; but that, in fact, she has not and never had any interest whatever in the said estate, or any part thereof, or the said deeds; and, at all events, she has not, and never had, any interest therein, otherwise than subject to the said agreement of the 2nd of April last, nor any interest therein at all against the plaintiff, as such purchaser as afore
