rthoox.
Mr. Russell and Mr. Bigg supported the petition, which
was that of the Churchwardens and overseers of St. Stephen's
Walbrook, stating the proceedings under the well known
information in this ease, and that the directions for payment
of the monies received in respect of the chasity estates, into
court, had left the petitioners without the means of providing
for the parochial expenses, so that they had been obliged
to levy rates of Is. ad, to lc 9d. in the pound, to the great
diesatiseaction of the parishioners; that the money collected
had been duly applied, but that sums remaieod due to the
officers or the parish, and 1,3001. remained due to the City of
L ndon Union for the maintenance of the poor, while there
were standing in court to the credit of the cause
1,1011. 13•. 10d. eonscla, and 1,4611. 6s. 9d. cash, arising
from the rates of the charity estates. Tete prayer was that
out of these sums sufficient might be raised to meet the above
demands, and that t►e receivers might pay the rates over to
the petitioners, to be applied in relief of the poor-rate.
Mr. Bounden Palmer and Isle. Bet.. appeared for the re-
lator. Mr. Lloyd for Alderman Gibbs, and Mr. Rogers for
Dr. Crolt, but were not called upon.
The Vice-Chancellor said there appeared to be a substan-
tial question whether the two petitioners who had alleged
themselves to be the churchwardens of the parish of St. Ste- I
phen's, Walbrook, were or were nut so de jure , and the
Muter in the cause either had appointed or approved, or
was in the coursed appointing or approving new trustees of
the property, from the rents of which had arisen the money,
or the hand, which was one of the objects of this petition.
Without pronouncing any opinion f.r or eg .inat the title
of these two gentlemen,who thus alleged themselves to be
&jure and de facto the churehwardens, the circumstances
were auffic:ent of themselves, without entering into any
other matter, to render it impoeslble, in his Honour's opi-
nion, to make any order fur the transfer or payment of any
part of the fund or any money under the petition at present.
The only remaining question was whether, considering the
position in which Mr. Gibbs stood, it was reasonable that,
unfit r a reservation of all nos's, both of the petition and also
of the attendance of the p:titionera before the Muter, or any
service upon them for that purpose, they should, without
prejudice to any question, and without the denial or se•
knowledgment of any title, be allowed to attend the master,
an allowance which, if given, could not extend to their sue-
maws, but must be confined to these gentlemen, and until
further order. If the Attorney-General, or the respondents
who had not been heard, wished to oppose that, the argu-
ment might prooeed.
Mr. Roundel( Palmer submitted that, as the receiver's
accounts had been passed, &d the master had approved of
new trustees, it would only cause delay and expense to allow
the petitioners to a'tend befi re the master.
Tne Vice-Chancellor, however, expressed his opinioa that,
under the reservation his honour had mentioned, the peti-
tioners might to have liberty to attend the manner under the
orders, which were now befue the master, so far as anything
remained to be done. The court reserved the consideration
of the costs, and of all costs t be occasioned by means of the
order ; and it was to be without prejudice to any question,
and there was to be liberty to apply. The muter was to be
informed that the court did not intimate any opinion whether
he ought or ought not to rehear or go back upon any pro-
ceedings that bad taken place before him.
