LAW INTE LUG ENCIL, COURT OF CHANCERY, Lurcourt Ism, FRIDAY, DECO:NAIR 13. IN THE. MATTER OP CRESWELL, A LUNATIC. Mr. IVETIOIRELL stated- that when this matter had been last before the Coed it heali been sitegested that the lunatic should he brought from his mansion house at Pinkney, in Devizes, to be examined by Doctor Powell and an other medical Gentleman; lie was accordingly brought to London, and after the exaniitiatatin he was removed by his.. 101/s back to Dci ism. He would not confraid that their sn conducting therumlers amounted to a evoking of Court, on particular order having been made by I Court forbidding it, but It certainly was a breach of de• comic, out decency. Hot pr.unt spplicatioo was, that ' his Loedship would grant us order to Ilare the !mastic eolith brought up to London fur the purpose of having the cum. movies of lunacy executed, Mr. WlLaaest•al opposed the emotion. He contended, ' that accordiug to the doctrine which bed been laid down by his Lordship iu lunacy, the Court could not grant a COM ' mission to be excepted, without it was executed at the mil deuce of the lunatic, ou whidii a question arose, whether taunt the of t h e twitatit, or in the town where he resided, which of course Isis Lordship would determine. This doctrine was laid down by Ids Lord she p in export* Smith, 4 Sioatiunn's Reports, sod in export. fuller. The Learned Collllllll contended, if it were Deers.' testy for Medical Getakesten is, person to examine the lunatic, it would be mach snore conveuient for them to go to Der "bee then to brim( o great number of witnesses from that place to ILOR , IOO 10 give evidence as to the length of time the object of the tononistion had been a lunatic. Mr, WarLLLLLh is. reply, laid that the law of the case with reference to the executimi of the commission was not at all imperative that It should be executed at the restdeure of Ow lunatic ; that both civil and criminal trials could be re. moved, sad there could be so legal breseh in having the roe , - missies executed 0111 of the comity in which the lunatic lived. to some cases it might be very proper and necessary that it should be executed in the same county, but ib the present case the expence attending medical geotlenteu of eminence going downs to the utuotry would be very great, and might be saved ie great measure, by having the luastic broucht to London. If she Court should se of opiuiou that be ought out to be brought to London, that his Lordship would please au order bon to be brought to Salisbury. The Loan CHANCELLOR observed ha world he ex• tremely uuwdliug to coolie, this inquiry to any particular place ; as to exeoutiog the cuouniutou le the dwelling house of the lunatic it was *sanely out of the question, it was hardly ever done, except where the health of the individual would be eadangered by removal. He could very easily see, on reading the •lidavit, that there was great a n xiety as to the place where the corsaisolou ought to be executed; and particularly so, "rhea the question was how long the geutleatais had been a lunatic, it baviag been ad mitted that he wag one then. There could be too doubt but if the eonosincion less to be executed is some large town is the county irk which the lunatic used would be quire magi curet. He world therefore direct, that if this commissims was not to be executed iii Loudon that it might be executechis Salisbury. PRACTICE. SOLICITORS' COSTS FOR ATTENDANCE. Mr. HARE , requested that his Lordship would give his judgment in a ease in which the question of costs only waited to be determined. It was in an appeal Irons the judgment of his Hoene, the Vice-Chancellor, which his Lordship had sent back to his Honour to dispose ef. It was necessary that his Lordship should give his judgment, as (be Solicitors had charged for attending to hear it, and their charges amounted to more 'has the property in dispute.

In the case of Nun 'oil others, respecting the construction of a wilt, Mr. Wasitgatiz, who appeared me Counsel for the Defendants, bad stated the construction which he contended must be put upon the words of the intrameat, and had pro ceeded to argue upon it, when his Morose the Vice Chan cellor pointed the attention of the Learned Counsel to a par ticular passage, and expressed his opinion that the sense of it was so dear and conclusive against the construction fur which Mr. Wetherell was cootending, es to render any further *remelts on that point nowecessary. The Learned Counsel submitted that the context warranted a very different con struction to that entertained by his Heiner.
