under the direction of the Court, that the house and
garden be sold, and the proceeds thereof after pay-
ment of coots, be divided between the plaintiff, and
the defendant Hester Batten, that a person be appointed
to receive the profits, and that Hester Batten be ordered to
deliver up posstssion of the trust estate-Mr. Hooper
appeared for plaintiff, Mr. Howard for an infant defen-
dant The defendant in possession strongly protested
against the sale of " her '' house.-The Judge said he
should appoint the Registrar guardian in order to save
expense.-In answer to the remarks of Mr. Howard, he
, said Mr. Ho ward was not unfairly dealt with; if he
appeared fairly in the case, he was entitled to his costs.
But it WM his (the Judges) duty to prevent the accumula-
tion of costs in a case where there was only a small estate.
Mr. Howard said he did uot object to the Registrar per-
sonally, either publicly. Or privet*, or ill any other way,
hut a moiety of this estate belonged to Ilk client,
burdened with the payment of two Alllll,l each; the
moiety would not fetch. he Itetiomol. Altoth if the

mother, it might be applied so as to do him n god, whereas
if the Registrar were appointed guardian, that meant that
the whole would be hmkol up till the infant was 21. Thu
mutate was so small that he contended the Registrar ought
not to be appointed. -The Judge bald that was one to the
onerous iluttes which the Registrar's otticMl position cast
upon hini-Mr. Hooper said he disputed altogether that
the child took any beneficial intenst under the will.- Mr.
ILOWINVI contented that the Judge had no power to order
a sale, tulleuo a moiety of value consented to it. Ulti-
mately the prayer of the pbout was granted, with the
exception of Hester Batten being ordered to give up the
premises. The Registrar was appointed guardian and
receiver, the plaintiff to have conduct of the suit; and
the conditions and day of sale to be named by the

guardian.
