A SUPPOSED LURA TIC. Mr. HART stated tins Pt titdon carne before hit Lordship on a caveat. The Petitioner was the grandson of Mr. Langley. who was of the age of ninety, and it stated that Mr. Langley, from his great age. was so incapacitated by imbecility as not to be able to attend to his affairs; there was no allegation of soy previous insanity, but the Court bad been in the habit of surrounding per sons so situated with the protection of the Court. by issuing a commission of lunacy sgatiiitt them. The affidavit of the petitioner stated that Mr. Lang ley. limn his great age, was incapable of 'imag ing his affairs; that two years hark he came to the petitioner to eomplain of the conduct of Mrs. Langley, his wife, not the priiiiuner's grandmother. whets there was no fousdation for the complaint; and on one occasion, when he called au the petitioner to c o mplain of the misconduct of Mrs. Lang ley, he asked him to take • lodging for him. The petitioner look him in his carriage,•nd brought him back to his hots', which he did sot recollect, hot took it to be a lodging. On another occasion be told the petitioner that all the furniture of his horse had been sold, which was mot the case. The affidavit of another vondson of Mr. Langky, Mr. W. Wad dilove, • solicitor, stated, that abont four months bark he consulted a Mr. Greene as to Mr. Langley hi tog capable of maasging his affair*, and that geottemaa was of opinion that he was not. Mr. Lanky bad thirteen grandchildren, and he did not know any of them ; he deuied he had Ail thee or grandchildren. That he often came to the chambers of the ileponent in Lincoln's Inn, and said on account of the ill.tresiment of his wife (which was not the fact) he wanted lodgings In the deponent's chambers, although he knew there was no accommodation in them for him ; in the month of March last he came to the deponent's chambera, and then sent his coachman away, and asked the ricpuiseut to take lodging's for him, which the deponent pretended to do, and on his inquiring where they were the deponent sent his clerk with him to skew him a bookseller's shop at the corner of Lincoln's Inn fields a, the house he was to lodge is be asked the clerk whether John his coachman wan there, sad being answered in the negative, he said it was DID matter; he thought he would be very comfortable in the lodgings, for they could not take him into custody, as be had no smuggled goods about him ; he gave the deponent a hi. note to get changed fur him, sad when the deponent offered him the gold be had forgot that he had given the de ponent the note; al another time Mr. Langley applied to an auctioneer to sell his house and furniture, although he had no other residence. The Learned Counsel contended that these circumstances were quite eolßeieat to induce his Lord. ship to order an inquiry into the state of the mind of Mr. Langley, particularly as the allegations in the affidavits which be had stated were in part admitted 00 the other side. The affidavit of Mrs. Langley stated, that Mr. Langley was of the advanced age of ninety, and his mind was affected by his age, but he had hitherto managed hie affairs with pro priety with her assistance , and that he knew the value of a cheek on a beaker. The affidavit' of John Wood, coach man to Mr. Langley, stated that be had been in the service of that gentleman slate the year 1819, and was in the con stant habit of driving him in the carriage. When be went first into his service, his mind appeared impaired from old age, but it did not Increase as much as might be expected, and his bodily health was now better than ulna the depu. neat entered his service; and that he was alarm sensible except when irritated abort money. The deposing aka drove him to the chambers of his grandson, Wm. Waddi love, on which occasions Mr. Langley told deponent that hie was going after money which his grouchy° bad received fur him, but which he could not get from him. Mr. Langley always seemed angry and irritated on coming away. There was also an affidavit of Miss Elizabeth Burton, one of the granddaughters of Mr. Langley, which staled that he always knew her, and wet in the habit of catering into conversation with her, sod that be always knew the valise of money. The Learned Counsel contended that so far from these affidavits contradicting those in support of the commission, they tacitly admitted their allegations. He had stated the whole substance of the stlfidavit4, except some allegation* relative to pecu niary affairs, which never wish' to have been mixed up with the ease for the Court to decide 00, and which could have so influence on the mind of his Lordship.
