The &ft deed executed in smara appeared as a party, was one , between the parties and Mr. Alex ten the Receiver of the elate, in , is of the young ladies were unquef dad for,. the cun fi deratinn Rated be rment of their bonds might be cape iould not have the effee of doing, and by which the payment of them day defeated. To this deed Mr. arty, rather for an 'mutual purpofe. se borrower or lender; but a fort of e was to receive the balances nit if John Purcell, but al(o on account but though there was a poWer to point another petfon in his place, I power in the fillers. This deed at mpiicit confidence site Purcell,' had he oeceffity which exifted of tome ointed to manage their affairs. It every opportunity of knowing the rortn)a elate. The next deed of one on which, in his honour's opi frequent dead, filing, was that die t Sretember, 1780. And here it to inquire, what were the claims mara had againft the Purcell, 1— was given him by this deed for the r him, the amount of that advance The account given by Margaret :That the amount was known and nest, but that it was not deemed t it, as John was then going to the ideavottr to coital tome debts, ap r ; and there was now of what that debt was. But thmtgh itive, there was at Ira ft a negative unt of fuch debt. There was evi lvances amounted to in 1783 ; and imfelf admitted that he had been of making advances. Therefore, ▪ 1780 and r 783, the amount of Ild nut have been diminithed. It the whole advances then made fcr (minted to 8001. fecured by their his again afforded, if not a non alive proof, that they were not (e -mber's debts. Mr. M'Namara accounts he kept were the doer, , and of what did they confiß es bides Purcells' debt a note of !, in the fecond place, as Mr. John fur 19,0001. being feparate and esidence of Margaret Pur at there were j'int bonds fur the : whole of thefe claims, which were then Riven up to be cancelled, he could not believe againk the evi dence of Mr. *Namara himielf, which (hewed that there were none fuch. Of their legacy there was then 12,0001. unpaid. He had advanced them about wool. and for this fum he took their bond, in which John did not join them more than they had jainedhim. With this the flatenient in Angna. 1784. when he took the affigament from Alexander Grant, per fatly agreed. This deed of 1 ith September, 1780, ckarly went the length of Paying, that the Plaintiff or her filler fhouid net, fur the future, eat a model of bread which they did not receive in charity from the Defendant. They conveyed, not their legacies alone, but their eventual interea in the reverfions, and betides entered into a periodsl covenant for thepayment of all firms theretofore, or afterwards, to become due to him by Margaret, Frances, or John Purcell ; and that the voucher of one of them Ibould bind the whole. When it was confidered that the debt due to the De fendant by John was as twenty to one ; when his ha. bits were taken into coofideration ; what was this but converting all at once the property of the whole three to the patt and future extravagance of one ? Thus MIS the provident care of the tither to be at once difippointed, and thefe what pawl fupport and future fettleinent he had anxioufly provided for, werit doomed at once to give up even what was necelTery for their daily bread. They were to have no !oast psalm:tit ; no room to flop and fay " we can go nb tardier 1 we have done enough for our brother ; we ma now look to ourfelves." NO. All this dd. action was handed over to Mr. *Namara, and he bad exhaufted it all at once. Extraordinary, how ever, as this deed was, it was followed by one gill more extraordinary t for, on the rxth of September, WB°, they execute a deed, by which they reduce themfelves to tenants for life, and gave the eflate in fee to Mr. *Namara. By the former deed they pledged their life came, and the MCAHE of their daily fupport. to him, in fecurity of a debt ; and by the latter, they gave up to their creditor the very means by w hich they amid. bate been enabled to difcharge their previous obligation. The ground of this deed was dated w be gratitude to Mr. *Namara.— This feeling, be could not at all conceive could have exiled in the minds of thefe ladies, the day after the execution of the fira deed, in which, unqueitionably, Mr. *Namara bad only (hewn a prudent regard. as he himfelf expreffed it, for his own family, but for which he did not fecal to delays gratitude or remit. reration. What could the moll rigorous creditor do ,more than he had done ? Thefe ladies could but pledge their all. and fo they had. His Honour de clared, be could not conceive any thins more EiODAI than the two deeds were in their combined' operation. Even if they had been executed in favour of an utter flranger, he could not conceive that they could be %imported. Even in that cafe it mull have appeared that advantage bad been taken of weak women ; but though any other perfon might, Mr. *Namara u.nqueatonobly could not take under thefe deeds. He was convinced, if any other perfon had endeavoured to induce thefe ladies to execute fuch deeds, Mr. *Namara, as their friend and advifer, would have endeavoured to prevent them. The judgment was liable to be perverted, where a per fon s interell flood in the way. Without imputing any improper motive to Mr. *Namara, or fuppol ing that he meant to take any advantage, he could not help thinking that he was in that fituation ; but, however innocent he might be of an intention to take advantage, a Court of Equity could not fanaion loch a tranfatlion as the prcfcnt, !landing in the re lation Mr. M'Namara did to the Plaintiff. As in the conveyance executed in the year 1783, by which the effete was ablolutely made over to the Defendant, and on which occafion the Plaintiff fremed fur the firft time to hefitate as to the canduft five was pur- Cuing, even had (be at once executed the deed, he fhould not have thought that matters were at all amended. The deeds of ttth and Lath September, I 780, regulated all the tea, and it was hardly to be fuppofed, after having In completely fettered herfelf, „that. the &mild have had courage to refute finally to accede to any other terms which might afterwards be demanded of her. As to the plea of filence and ac quiekence, this, too, he'cou'd regard as nothing. Was it wonderful that a perfon having sor friends or relations but the Defendant, and no fund for her fup port but an annuity of 2501. which, as it had been reprefented to her, the owed entirely to hisbeneficence or charity, fhould have failed for any length of time . to find her way iato that Court ? Or was it not thee remarkable that flip had at length been enabled to leek that relief which her cafe could receive ? On theft grounds, therefore, he fuhmitted to the Lord Chancellor, that the Decree formerly pronounced should be affirmed. The LORD CHANCELLOR fail, that he had not fat in the Chair be then occupied quite a week, when a petition was prefented to him to re-hear this molt im portant cafe ; and when he recollefled, that the cafe had before been flitted at great length by perfons not now prefent, and that the decree was pronounced by a Nobir Lord, who had Ipent los whole life at the Bar of that Court, he cold not forbear making ufc of the privilege he p. ifeffeJ, of calling to his aid the molt diftinguithed lawyers, and he returned his fin cere and hearty thanks to the Muller of the Rollafor the clear and learned Ilatement he had made, in af fording him that affitianee. But his Lordthip had another reafon for doirig thus, for he had had occa• fion mare than once to remark, that it was impollible for a Judge at all times to be anconnetied with the parties before him, •and it was that difficulty, which had made the trial by Jury In valuable a part o f o u r Contlitution. The Plaintiff appeared to be a Mend• lel: and unproteited female, of whofe conneltions his Lordffiip had never heard, but lie had knoWn the Defendant during the thole of his life, and had al ways entertained a good opinion of him. His Lord (hip did not at all feel, whatever might be his fitua• lion, .hat he was in the leafl danger of being implied into any imprudent judgment ; but he had afked the affillance of his Honour, well aware of the tried abi• Cities and found judgment which he poffeffed. As to the conttitution of th.rt Court, it was well known, that the Lord Chancellor was refporfible for any judgment which might be pronounced. It was not only neceffary, when a judgment of Inch immenfe importance Ws the prefent was delivered, that it (hould (land on the hafts of the law, but that itffiouldbefound ed upon the fans.

The contents of the inflruments executed by the Purcells, were Willa tory evidence that they were unacquainted with their effect. It was a maxim in the law which regulated all tribdrials, that prefumptlon might be railed on fads that might be difputed ; but it appeared to his Lordlhip, and he confidered it a very fortunate cir eumfltance, that, in this cafe, it was unnecelfary to aflame any faR whatever; for, whether the parties clad or did not underßand what they were perform ing. the deeds, in the point of view his Lordllip be held them, could not Stand the tea of the law in this or any other Court. Hit Lrodfbip's fiat conneßiot with Mr. *Namara was when the Defendant was a (Indent in Lincoln's Ina, and the care of thefe young people (all of them being under the age of nineteen), teemed to devolve upon him as their friend and relation: and from the fubfequent trent adions, it appeared. that he was the perfon totg:om they retorted for protection and advice. By thelied of the 11th of September, 1780, the Porcells bound themfelves to repay Mr. M'Namara all turns of mo ney which he might have advanced to any of them, and it was impoßible nut to think that the deed of the rth. the day following, was not only in contempla tion, but was actually prepared at the fame time with that of the i till. His Lordlhip would proprffe the following queflion : Su pole there Ladies, and this John Purcell, inßead of receiving fupplies from Mr. M'Namara, had had advances from tome money• lender to the amount of 8001. and fuppote that perfon, teeing that the hanky he had with the fon WAS only that of a tenant for life, had uffered to take the in heritance of the daughters, and betides that required a perfonal covenant by which he might have call them into a jail ; his Lordlhip would imagine that the PnrceUs had conic to Mr. M'Namara, and thus addreffed him :- We look up to you as our friend and protector ; our brother. has received the kindell affißance from a perfon in the city; he has advanced for is the various Sums which we relnired fir our con venience ; we are now difpnfed to tax our inheritance and to enter into a perfonal bond; but we think we cannot Rop here, without rewarding him for the obligations we are under, and ought we not to give him the elate aril, and leave ourfelvei hound even wheß the whole property is- gone ?" His Lordlhip owed it in juilice to Mr. Id-Namara to believe, that if fuch a propofition had been made to him, a young man with honourable fentiments, he would have re volted at the idea, and would have refuted his con tent to fuch an agreement ; it would have been con fidered calumny to have afferted the contrary. Yet we fee how far feltintereft would carry a man, for he had done the very ad himfelf which he would have confidered criminal in another. In many inftances, features of fraud appeared upon the face of the deeds themfelves, and when the knowledge of the contents cannot he imagined in the Purcells, was it not natural to infer an overbearing influence to enforce the exe cution ? and his Le-v.(101;p maintained, that the De fendant Rood in that confidential relation to the fe males, that tom:ling the inarument to be binding upon them, if given from a &anger, yet it could not be enforced on the part of Mr. *Namara, h e em ploying his authority in the character of protedne, gwardien and friend. The next point was, whether the deeds had received confirmation, by the acquief cenee of the Plaintiff for to long a period ? If his Lordlhip had not been made acquainted with the circumflances, he thould certainly have Paid, that Mil, Frances Purcell came too late ; but for the rea fon fisted by the Matter of the Rolls, that was not his preterit opinion. If Mr. M'Namara, on the re port of the Mailer, Should be difffiti-fled, the doors of the Court were not doted againft him, and he might bring it on in the form of exceptions to the report.— His Lordfhip concluded-by affirming the Decree pro nounced by Lord ELDON. Mr. M'Namara immediately rote and addreffed his Lordllrip in thefe words a " My Lord, I cannot hive the flightelt nbjettien implicitly to abide by the late decree, confirmed by what your Lordlhip has now pronounced. It is neither my intereft or my with that any one of thefe deeds Mould Rand. except as a fecurity fur what I have actually advanced. But if the Matter Should report that I am not entitled to the advantage of being the aflignee of Alexander Grant, the Plaintiff would difencumber her moiety r f the cliate from her mortgage to him, of the right Ito which no Court of inflict can divell me. My Lord, as to one moiety of the elate being decreed to the Plaintiff, Mits Purcell, I not only fubmit to it without appeal, bin I am alto willing to relinquiffi the other moiety, which is indifputably mine, and to give up the whole elate, provided, what cannot be denied, is decreed, that I am the reprefentative .of Alexander Grant. II this is underflond, I have no objection to the Plaintiff having the whole elate.
