EX-PARTa wobass This question had been in part heard hefore. The point to be decided was the validity in equity of a deed by which Hodges the son bought a life-estate from his father and mother for £2OOO. Mr. NaWLAND was heard this day in favour of the validity of the deed. Mr. Sum's:l replied.—This was a bill filel by the son against the father. This was very painful, but not unprecedented. It was not denied that the son paid three tines more than the value. The estate the father never could give in fee to his son. Ile had got only a shadow in return for £2OOO. l The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that Court wou ld, wou ld,tasu, not interfere.for the reliefof .a vendee who had the l means of aseeititining the titles and terms of hid pur-I Chase, and neglected to do so. An Eichequer hstd bop cited,.of which he had doubts. None *ilia have a higher opinion than he had of the learninb integrity, judicial wi,dom, and so forth, of the Lord Chief Baron ; but he could not thilik that there was any remedy where the negligence of the vendee was' the cause of mistake: but he did not know the con= ditions of the contract in that Exchequer case. In the question now before him he would give judgment on Monday morning. It was an extremely important case. The father, Hodges, was a tenant for life of an estate. The rental was ant mentioned: Mr. SUGDEN.-1:100 a year. The LORD CHANCELLOa.—A settlement had been made of this estate on Thomas Hodges, the father, with remainder to Mary his wife, if she should sur vive him, and with remainder to all the children, to be divided among them as tenants in common. The father became bankrupt. Under tb. bankruptcy, the eldest son bought the life estate of his father. The estate then stood thus—A life-estate to the son, with remainder to his mother, with remainder to all the children. The 'discussion on the part of Mr:Sugden went on the notion that this was-good in law, but bad in equity. This case came under the principle that, where' a power. was given to appoint an estate to one or more children, urnil that appointment took place the father was not entitled to puichase out, and make the appointment exclusively on one. Lord Thurlow had decided on this principle in a case where one of the Earls of Sandwich had pur chased the claim of a child dying of consumption.— Lord Thurlow held it good in law, but not in equity. It was a question here, whether it was for the benefit of the father, that in consideration of £l2B a year for the joint lives of the father and the mother, a joint appointment should he made in favour of one child. , It was also a question whether the mother's joining enabled the father to do what he could not have ot;.erwise done. It seemed to be difficult to maintain that. He was far from saying that there was moral blame 'to be imputed ; but the Court must protect children from the influence which might injure them, and that could be done only on a general rule. The Court was not, hoWever, to keep the property locked up until all parties should consent to have it unlocked. He knew not how. the other children were _disposed. It was to be hoped that some of them would agree, from filial duty, to such an arrangement as might he made. If he should be compelled to give his opinion in the absence of any knowledge of their wishes, he would consider between this and Monday what opi nion he should give. The joining of the wife made no difference. She was selling the interest of the children. If she were alive, that life-estate would be restored to her. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMBER 15. COLE V. VAUGHAN. The following brief stateme•.t of facts will enable the reader more clearly to understand the subsequent proceedings :—The late Sir Thomas Champneys was tenant for l►fe in possession of certain estates in Ja maica, with remainder to his son (the present Baro net) in fee. The estates were subject to several mort gages to Messrs. Vaughan, of Bristol, Messrs. Core and Co. and others, and also to a provision for the younger, children of the family. During the life of the late Sir Thomas Champneys, that Gentleman executed a deed by which he divested himself of possession of the estates, and conveyed them to five trustees, who were to apply the rents and profits which might be derived from them to certain trusts therein specified, one of which, it appeared, was the payment of the. interest upon the several mortgages. The Messrs Vaughan were parties to this deed, and covenanted not to defeat the intentions of the instrument, on the agreement that they were to be continued as con signees of the rents and profits arising from the 'l estate, in which character they had long before stood; Sir Thomas Champneys died on the 2d of July, 1821 ; and on the 21st of June last, his Honour the Vice- Chancellor, in consequence of an application by Messrs. Coxe, appointed Messrs. Vaughan receivers of the rents and profits of the estate. Mr. BELL, on the part of the plaintiff, moved this morning that the Court would direct Messrs. Vaughan and Co. to make sale of the produce of the estate which had been consigned to them since the death of Sir Thomas Champneys, with leave to remunerate themselves out of the produce of the sale for the !up plies which they had sent to the estate since the death of the owner, and other charges, and to pay the re mainder into the Bank to abide the order of the Court. The grounds upon which the Learned Gentleman rested the motion were, that the produce which was in the possession of Messrs. Vaughan add Co. ought to be applied to the purposes of the trusts determined in the deed abovementioned ; and that the heir at law had never entered into possession of the estate since the death of the late Baronet. The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed, that he could not agree with Mr. Bell. Ue was of opinion that the trustees did not continue in possession one mo ment after the death of the tenant for life: the .pos session was immediately vested in his son. Mr. HART, Counsel for Sir T. Champneys, stated that the property now in the possession of Messrs. - (~•E x*E•:,-PENCH Vaughan and Co. was claithed by his client, it has: ing been consigned to them since the death of the late Baronet. Mr. Houvu, who was on the same side as Mr. Belli said he felt it difficult to argue the question, after what had fallen from the Court. He would suggett, however, that Sir Thomas Champneys could not be eatitled to the property in the po , session of Messrs. Vaughan and Co. but that it must be considered as arrears of tent in the hands of a tenant, and that, therefore, it isught to be retained by them as receivers appointed by the Court. The VICE'CHANCELLOR observed, that a diffitult question arose upon this point—namely, whether the produce which was severed from the estate beforethe Court made the order for a receiver, and which had since, tome into the pos.e)sion of Messrs. Vaughan, could be considered to come under the operation of that order ? Mr. Hopsa admitted that the property in question had been severed from the estate before the Court made the order for a receiver, but not until after the bill had been filed. • Mr. PearecftroN followed on the sam?. side. He argued that the Court' ought to restrain Messrs. Vaughan from surrendering the property to Sir T. Champneys, because he had received notice, by the bill which was filed in order to obtain the appoint ment of a receiver, that other persons poisessed a right in the property ante' for to his. M . T. WILBRAHAM appeared for Messrs. Vaughan. He was not instructed either to oppose or support the motion. His clients had made an affidavit, in which they set forth the property in their possession, and . the amount of their charges upon it They were ex tremely anxious that the Court should make some order with respect to its disposition. The 'i vice- CHANCELLOR thought that Messrs. Vaughan and Co. had entertained very proper doubt; respecting the manner in which they ought to dispose of the surplus in their hands. • If they had paid it over to . Sir T : Champoeys, they would have been personally liable to those persons who asserted a prior light to it. They were mere stakeholders, and they had acted very properly. He was of opinion that Nle,srs. Vaughan ought to pay all the admitte4 'charges that affected the property, and then make an application to the Court that they may be at liberty to pay over to the Accountant-General the clear suri plus. Then the question would arise, whether the surplus.would belong to the receiver who had been appointed by the Court, or to Sir T. Champneys? . Mr. HART trusted ;that the• Court would not make any order hut that which had just been alluded to by his Honour. Such an order would only be advanr tageous to Messrs. Vaughan, who were substantially, though not in name, eie plaintiffs in the suit. The order would be most oppressive to his client, who, if it were not made, might proceed to-morrow by an action to recover the pi operty from Messrs. Vaughan. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that he would, upon application being made, immediately grant an injunc tion, to restrain Sir Thomas Chimpneys from pro ceeding with such an action. He thought Mr. Hart could not object to an order which'would refer it to the Master to inquire what was the amount of the admitted charges upon the property in the hands of Messrs. Vaughan. Mr. HART wished his Hono►sr to decide now who would be entitled to the surplus after the payment of all charges. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said he was unwilling to decide that point at present, because it might ulti mately appear that these was not a single shilling cf surplus. The proper time for arguing that question would be when the Master made his report. His Honour then decreed that Messrs. Vaughan might be at liberty to proceed with the sale of the property in their possession, upon undettaking to account for the produce of the sale to the Court ; and that it might be referred to the Master to inquire what ate the charges that would have affected the property if it had been actually possessed by the consignee ap pointed under the order of the Court. As a proof of the uncommon mildness of the sea. son, it may be mentioned that a traveller lately ob served, in the garden of Mr. MatcomsoN, innkeeper, in Kirkcudbright, the following perennial and bin,- nial flowers btooming in gay luxuriance :—Daisies, polyanthuses, primroses, auriculas, anemonies, bache lors'-battons, roses, and honey-suckle ; • blue-bottle, cardinal flower, asters, wall-flowers,stock-july-flowers, holly-hocks, periwinkle, sweet-william, heart's-ease, campanulas, canter bury-bells, sweet scabions, furni tory, and valerian. A letter has just been received by Mr.W.BANILEtp from Mr. SALT, dated at Cairo, in August last, with the following curious information :—A roll of Papy. rus, measuring about eleven inches in length, and five in circumference, has been discovered in the Island of Elephantina, and purchased for Mr. B. It is found to contain a portion of the latter part of the. Iliad, very fairly written in large capitals, such as were in use during the time of the Ptolemys, and under the earlier Roman Emperors. The lines are numbered, and there are Scholia in the margin. A copy is to be made from this valuable MS. at Cairo, that it may serve as a duplicate, in case of any acci dent in its voyage to England. The person who pro cured this treasure for Mr. B. is a young man, who has been in his employ for some years to explore such parts of the Antiquities and Geography of the East, as were left unasceitained by Mr. B. himself. • The following is a plan for preventing the stealing, of dead bodies :—As soon as the corpse is deposited let a truss of long wheaten straw be opened, and dis tributed in the grave in layers, equally with every layer of earth, till the whole is fillei up, By this method the corpse will be effectually secured; for it is certain that, the longest night will not afford tinge sufncient to empty the grave, although all the com mon implements of grave-digging be made rue 4 ,4 :bribe abominable purpose. • k
