the fact of his having broken a stirrup-leather not having

First and second heats won by a length, the third by

The course was again very full y attended, and the list
produced large fields and plenty of excellent sport. Accord-
ing to promise, the clerk of the course caused the enclosure
to be well watered previous to the commencement of the
races, and the dust was effectually laid until between 4 and
5; after that, however, it became as annoying as ever.
Having taken our counsel in this matter, we will venture to
suggest to the authorities that a proper telegraph, and an
efficient person to attend it are indispensable to the carrying
out of the business of the course.

EQUITY COURTS.-YESTERDAY.
DIVOII MO LOUD CoIIADCOLLOIL
IN THE MATTI:A Ur ELWES, A LI,NATIC.-APPO

or Comxtrrar.a.
His lordship, after observing on the circumstances at-
tending the case of Mrs. Elwes, said he had carefully consi-
dered the written proposal sent to him on behalf of the
lady's husband, and another sent by her brother, Mr.
Sykes. It appeared strange that the husband, who stated
that he applied first for the assistance of this court on ac-
count of his great age and consequent infirmities, and ina-
bility to take the same cam of his wife that he took of her
before, should now propose to be the solo committee
There was no doubt that, although he provided
a separate residence fur her, and lived apart from her
for four or five years, he acted towards her with the greatest
generosity and kindness. His reason, he said, for nut visit-
ing her was, that he could nut bear to see her in her mental
affliction ; which was also a reason, one would suppose,
against his proposal to be the committee. What his lord-
ship would du on both petitions was this: make no order on
Mr. Sykes's petition, and on Mr. Elwell' petition he would
direct the usual reference to the Master in Lunacy, to
approve of a lit person to be a committee of the prison of
this lady, the husband of course proposing himself, and
with leave to propose another person to act with him, and
with leave to Mr. Sykes to attend before the Master. The
Master may think it proper to see and consult lady as to
her feelings in respect to the person who may be proposed
and should it be thought necessary for him (the Lord Chan-
cellor) to sec her, lie would do so.
Iv THE MATTBIL Or MILS. HEVCSON, A LUNATIC.
ALLOWAN( E OUT or A LUNATIC'S ESTATI: TO RELA-
TIONS._

Ills lordship said he found it difficult to ascertain the
origin of the power of the court to deal with the property
of a lunatic. In all the cases be found the court acted with
great caution, and exercised the power only in those casts
in which the lunatic might be presumed from circumstances
to dispose of bin property in favour of relations. There
was nothing more agreeable to people than to be generous
and kind with other persons property, and for that reason
people consider it very harsh to refuse them. In this
cast, assuming that he had jurisdiction, he found
every other circumstance favourable to the application made
to him. This lady is rich enough, having an income exceed-
ing 4,000/. a year, and I,•An. out of that income allowed
for her own maintenance was ample enough to afford her
all the comforts she was accustomed to. She has one sister
and one niece and a nephew. Tu the sister she used, when
of mind, allow 201. a year, the niece had no allowance. The
nephew is a clergyman, laudably employed in spreading
Christianity in India; and the application is to
allow hint 200!. a year out of the lunatic's sur-
plus income. Ile is her heir-at-law, and he is
also one of her next of kin. There is no evidence of
any disposition being ever shown by his aunt to be generous
in respect of him. It has not been shown that he was ever
an object of her care or consideration. In such a case it
would be an abuse of words to speak of exercising the juris-
diction of the great seal in respect to the property of a
lunatic. If any will existed in which it might be seen that
this lady made any provision for this gentleman, or if there
WAS an affidavit showing that she ever used any expressions
of kindness towards hint, or showing any disposition on her
part to exercise liberality towards him, his lordship would
in that case be disposed to make tho order that WAS asked
for in his favour. (The order thatiwas asked for was, that
200/. a year might be allowed to the gentleman out of the
lunatic's income as stated in this journal in a former report.)
