Royal Highness previous to his leaving England, and for which she was threatened with arrests, and that she had been actually arrested at the suit of the proctor, for expences in the suit in Doctors' Commons:---and his Royal Highness being at Lisbon, and out of the jurisdiction of the court. The bill therefore prayed, among other things, that Messrs. Coutts might be restrained from paying the annuity of £.12000 to his Royal Highness, until the annuity of £.4,000 and the arrears were satisfied. The facts stated in this bill were verified upon oath by the Duchess and her trustees. Mr. Coutts, by his answer, admitted the power of attorney, and that he had due notice of the deed, but that he had no money belonging to his Royal Highness in his hands.

The Lord Chancellor ordered an injunction to restrain Mr. Coutts from receiving the Duke's annuity, until further order of the court; but his Lordship observed, as this suit involved matters of considerable importance, he should, in some future stage of the business, desire the assistance of the Master of the Rolls and Lord Alvanley.
