SHROPSIHRE ASSIZES. NISI PRIUS. Doedem. GARNONS, Esq v. KNIG TIT. This was an issue sent down by the Vice Chan cellor from the Court of Chancery, where a hill had been filed by the creditors of the late Mr. Wynn, an attorney at Mold, in Flintshire. The question involved a property of i?10,000. Sarah Ann Jones, is niece of the late Mr. Wynn and proved the execution of a mortgage by Mr. Wynn, which he signed and sealed in her pre- sence, and, put his finger on the seal and said, This is my act and deed." Witness also signed the deed. Cross examined—I never witnessed a deed be- fore, and my uncle had four or five clerks in his office at this time. Mr Garnon's name was never mentioned. R. Barker. Esq, is an attorney in Chester in July 1S2A, Mr. Wynn sent for me to Mold I went thither, and found him greatly distressed in mind on the subject of a recent sale of the Lees- wood estates, which he had sold for Mr. Gar- t' iions and said if he were called upon for the money now it would not be in his power, and he would be exposed and his family ruined. He said he received upwards of £20,000 for that estate, and after takingcredi; for some money paid and placed out for Mr. Garnons, he was still in- debted ^13,000. I consented to go to Mr. Gar- nons. Mr. Wynn then showed me a statement of his debts, including the a £ °13,00t). he would have I went to Mr. Garnons, who was much affected, and said he had thought Air. Wynn had put out all the money on securities as he was desired. Mr. Garnons bade me to as- sure Mr. Wynn he would neither distress him nor expose him, but he relied that Mr. Wynn would find security- I relumed to Mr. Wynn who was greatly pleased, and said he would take care that Mr. Garmons should have security for all his monies. After Mr. Wynn's funeral, which took place some time after, I came back to his house when Mr. Knight, the son-in-law of the deceased, Mr. Knight, sen. and Mr. Boydell, produced the will, which was read before us; and along with it a paper in the hand-writing of Mr. Wymi, con- taining a statement of his property, among which was a debt of i?]0,000 to Mr Garnons. In con- sequence of this I was requested to go to Mr. Garnons, and tell him they were aware he had a mortgage ofEIO,000 oil Mr. Wynn's property, and to congratulate him on this discovery. I ae- k: ",v. 'J¡" -7-;i cordingly went, but after Mr. Garnons had made eveiy seaic.i, lie could rind no such mort^a^e I returned and told this to Mr. Wynn's familv^wi MissWynn joined me.and aftera few moment's con- conversation, she left me and returned with a par- cel scaled but lIot directed. I took it into the ad- joining room, where it was opened, and another white paper parcel found inside directed to Richard Garnons, Esq. in the hand-writ,ng of Mr. Wynn, and within that was thp mortgage from Mr. Wynn to Mr. Garnons, for J; !0,0ti0°and interest, and also a paper folded like a letter di- rected to Mr. Garnons. this was looked into, and found to contain a statement of Mr. Gonions affairs in Mr. Wyuu's hands. The otiwr se- curities in Mr. YV vnu'R hands belonsino to Mr Garnons ww njc, t'v> insoiterii ai !fie lime o, iiiscieafn. Afiss Wynn.—In IS20, my brother brought me a brown J)Lii)ei- Hess, keep this it belongs to Mr. Garnons," Soon after this my brother came for the parcel, which I gave him. He gave it me back agaiii about the 14th of April, and I gave it to Mr. Barker after my brother's furwral. Cross examined.—When my brother gave me the parcel the second time, lie said 0; line, put tills bv." I never mentioned the parcel to Air. Garnons, though he was frequently at Mold. Mr. CAMPBELL grounded the defence on a point of law. He imputed no disho.nur to any one con- cerned in this case but if Mr. Garnons succeeded in obtaining a verdict all the other creditors must go without a farthing. The consideration lor this mortgage was good the execution was valid bat it had never been delivered and it necessarily followed that it was useless. It had remained in the possession and under the dominion of Mr. Wynn, therefore it was to all intents and pur- poses void. Mr. C. quoted a passage frr-n Shepherd's Touchstone, which said, it was neces- sary to the due execution of a mortgage that it should be delivered 10 the person filr who<e be- nefit it was made: and delivery might be accom- plished either by doing something and saying nothing, or by doing nothing and saying some- thing. What took place after the dealt: of Mr. Wynn, is of no consequence, for then the interest of third persons had interfered, BARON GARROW was of opinion th-it the de- livery was complete: and the jury raturned a verdict for the PLAI NTIFF. THE MAYOR OF CHESTER. Mr. TAUNTON addressed the jury in this case. There were two questions for their consideration on which all the other issues hang aoj these were. Ist. Whether the mode of electing the Mayor of Chester was founded on iminenioi ia i Custom, or on the Charier of Henry Vi I. which was grant- ed in the 21st vea-l-of his reign. 2d. Whether or not the citizens of Chester ac- cepted that Charter wholly and entirely, or only partially; and reserved to themselves the ancient anS" customary mode of shooaing their Mayor. There is very little di ffei-eiiee (said the learned Counsel) between the Customary mode of elec- tion and that in the charter," hut there is a dif- ference, and I admit that if the election of Mayor is to be governed by the Charter, then Mr. Har- rison is not duly elected. The mode of electing the Mayor as prescribed by Custom is as follows: so many of the Aldermen as choose to be present with the Sheriffs, and the Common Councilmen and Citizens, are on the Friday next after the feast of St. Dennis, (now the Fridav after the point two Aldermen to fill *rie office"of Mayor from whom the Mayor is to select one to fill the office that, we say, is the customary mode: and there is no doubt when the charter was granted it merely meant to confirm this practice. But in the mode prescribed by the charter there is this essential difference, that it is absolutely necessary that a majority of the Aldermen should be pre- sent and give their attendance at the election of a Mayor. It is now the established law of Cor- porations, that when a charter directs that a select body shoud make the election, unless a majority be present it is not legal therefore, as 24 Aldermen are named in the charter, theremust at least be 12 of these present at the election of Mayor. Mr. Harrison claims, therefore, to be elected not in com formi ty to the charter, but to immemorial custom, and this necessarily involves the questions whether from the time that the memory of man knoweth not to the contrary there was a Mayor, 2 Sheriffs, 21 Alderineiu and 8 Common-Councilmen, in the city of Chester. Chester is perhaps one of the oldest Corporations in the kingdom it was a place of antiquity at sin: period of the Norman conquest. The first eari- dom of Chester was granted by King William to Hugh de Lucas; and next by Henry Ill. to his eldest son, since which time it has continued to be enjoyed by the heir apparent to the Crown.— In none of the charters before the reign of Henry, VII. is there any mention of Aldermen or Common-Councilmen, my conclusion then is that if before that time there did exist any Alder- men, it follows of absolute necessity, they must have existed from time immemorial. It does not follow that because they are not recited in the charters, that therefore they did not exist for even at this day, the Mayor and Burgesses" is the usual way of designa ting such Corporations. The first charter I sitall lay before you to prove my conclusions is one by Henry II. addressed to the Bailiffs of Durham, setting forth that" the Burgesses of Chester are to buy and sell at th Guild of Durham, the same as in the time of King yienry my grand-father." The next document ? shall lay before you, is a writ issued in the 4th year of'the reign of Edward I. (23d May, 1313^ directed to the good men and whole commonality of the city of Chester, ordering them to pro- vide two ships, well manned and stored, for the service of the King in this war, against the Scots." Here is distinction of good men from the commonality, and these good men I uphold to have been the Common-council. Next comes a charter, dated 12th June, j" the 28th year of the reign of Edward I. allowing the Corporation to choose two Corners, who are to tólke an oath before the Mayor and Bailiff's.— This is the first notice which is taken of eitherof these Officers; so that if they previously existed without being named, so might the Aldermen.— Next comes a charter dated ttth March, in the 2Sth year of the reign of Edward III. (the Black Prince) granting the office of Escheator to the Mayor; confirming as yoa will notice only whafc D (Continued in next
