HOUSE OF LORDS--YEATERDAY.
Wissirm's

This matter. of which the particulars appeared in the
Exj•ress of Wednesday last, as again before the house, by
The Lord thanesllor, at the sitting of the bowie at 10
minutes before u'rbick, stating, thut having conaidersid the
evidence which had been given at their lordship's bar on a
former Orelllloll, he was of opinion that the case in et=
the petition fur the bill for a divorce a cinculo
had been made out, and therefore he would now move that
the bill i.e read a snood time. .

The bill was thereupon read a second time.
This proceeding, when announced to the parties,'
to create very coosidtvuble astonishment, as couniiel,=a
suplart and in opposition to the bill, with their respective
agents and solicitors, had been waiting in the lobby to be
called in from a quarter past .1 o'clock, at which period it
11/31s unileuituod the subject would be brought under the
consideration of their lordships.
Mr. Talbot, who appeared for Mr. Webster, and Mr.
Serpent tTrangham, who represented Mrs. Webster, both
tapresed their surprise. llowcser, the hill had been read
a moved time, and therefore nothing can be done, mutate it
be when the bill goes into committee on Monday seat.

His lordship was engaged. up to his rising at I o'clock, in
hearing petitions in the matter of lunatics. of which there
was a list of eighteen. 't
he following only were deserving
Of Itotict..
IN TRE MATTER or BURTON, A LENATIC.
The petition in this matter prayed confirmation of the
Muter'• report appointing new committees of the lunatic's
person and estate ; and it also prayed an additional remune-
ration to the lunatic's attendant, who had taken care of him
for upwards of 30 years. The heir-at-law of the lunatic had
himself increased the salary, and consented to a further.
The Lord Chancellor made the order confirming the re-
port, and as to the increase of remuneration to the attendant,
he directed an inquiry before the !Later.
IN TRU MATTZII OF LOTZDAT, A LENATIC.
This was a petition praying an advance of 330 i. out of the
estate of the lunatic (a fanner in Gloucestershire), to bear
the eapenses of traversing the inquisition of lunacy. Leave
to traverse had been already given by the Lord Chawr. Hoe
The petition was opposed by the committee of the estate,
on the ground that the granting that sum would nearly
exhaust the lunatic's estate.
The Loa Chancellor mid the lunatic had unquestioned
• right to traverse the finding of the jury. He regretted
that the lunatic's friends did not dissuade him from that
coulee. It was at all events his (the Lord Chaacellor's)
duty to see that there was no unnecessary expenditure of the
lunatic's estate. The expense of a traverse was °flea meek
lannued by bringing medical witnesses. In his owls ex-
perience he never knew medical testimony much attended
to by &jury in a traverse ; it might lead to agreeable scien-
tific discussions, and be made to adorn a case, but had sel-
dom much weight with the jury.
His lonlship thought 2001. ample enough in this case, sad
he would mks an order for that amount.

and pariah of South Molten. And by his will,
dated 24th February, 1709, referring to the school founded :
by him, he gave and devised his property at Northam in
Devon unto the nuyor and aldermen thereof, and he di
rested them to pay certain annual sums therein men•
tioned, and amongst others 100/. towards the maintenance
of the South Mutton Free School, to be applied in paying
masters and otherwise as therein mentioned, and the over-
plus which the said property did produce beyond the sums '
mentioned and which he found and computed to be about
601. per annum, he directed should go the one-half thereof
always unto him who was mayor of South Molton for the
' time being towards the expense of mayoralty, and the
other half towards the mending of the highways in or'
near South 31olton. It appeared that the annual value of
the land given by the testator to the corporation of South
Motion had increased front 1601. to 8001. or thereabouts,
and that the Man applied for the charitable purposes men-
tioned in the will had not been proportionably increased ;
and the object of the present suit was to give the charitable
objects mentioned in his will, the full benefit of the in-
creased income of the property. The corporation claimed
to be entitled to such income, subject only to the small
payments from charitable objects mentioned in the will ;
and for this a note at the foot of an account, relating to the
annual value of the land, and its application referred to by
the testator's will, was relied on, in which, after showing by
the account that the ultimate balance would be 841.75. 91d.,
ho added, but whatever this balance proves to be more or
less, the half thereof is given every year, to him that shall
he mayor, and the other half in mending the highways
in or near South klolton. But, upon the construction of the
whole of the will and accounts, and the note thereto taken
together, it was contended for the relator that the
corporation were not so entitled, and that they had misap-
plied the income arising from the charity property.
The Master of the Roll. was of opinion that the charitable
objects mentioned in the will were entitled to participate in
the increased income, and he decreed accoraingly, and gave
the necessary directions to carry out his decree and to settle
a scheme.

Mr. Torriano supported a petition presented under Mr.
Headlam's Act, to obtain an order fur conveying to the
petitioner land alleged to have been sold to him by a de-
ceased vendor, who had received the purchase money, and'
whose heir was an infant. It was submitted that the infant
was a trustee within the meaning of the act. No one ap-
peared fur the infant.
The Vice• Chancellor declined to make the order, and
directed the petition to stand over, with liberty to file a bill
or a claim.
