TAR ATTORTIT GINDRAL e. Lucarildxsatraon OF AN
INFANT HT FRAUD OF HUSBAND —HIS INTIREAT IN ERR
PMOPIPTT FORFSITID UNDIII RIARRIAOII ACT, 4 Gao. IV
CAP. 76.—This was an appeal from an order of Vim-
Clumaellor Migrant, disallowing exceptions to the Master's
eerie. or a esOlcooutal as as Infant. Wee Jere, the intent,
was married some years back to Mr. P. S. Limas through
fraud sod saiseepramt!tions on hie part She was them

Wadded, as afterirardle ilenail by the inmates espest la the
cause, to real estate worth Neat 1,41101_ and to lasseheli
sad piersonal propertygitho Wu of UPI& smog more. Ira
after the marriage an inhissation was filed by the Attorney-
Gnarl at the relation of the young lady's lather
for the purpose of depriving Mr. Lucas, the by
band, of all benefit scenting to him in her pro-
perty. by force of the marriage, according to the
proviaious of the ':3rd section of the Marriage Aot, 4 Geo.
IV., e. 76. By that section it is enacted that, where the
marriage of an infant (stale or female) is procured by a (alas
oath, or knowingly without the consent of the parent or
guardian, the court may, upon an information flied by the
Attorney-General, darn • forfeiture of all interest in any
property accruing to the offending party by twee el the
marriage, and order the same to be roared for the bare of
the innocent party, or of the issue of the marriage or say of
them, as the court shall think fit. An order was mode In
the cause, referring it to the Master to ascertain and report
the nature and amount of the lady's property, sad to approve
of aper settlement. Several exceptions Wen taken to
the Master's report so made, but the most material were
that the settlement approved of by him gave Mrs. Lucas
pewee to appoint, during the marriage, one-third of the s er-
e:malty r cobs should please, and that there was no provision
in the settlement to the issue of • second marriage. in the
event of her surviving her present husband and having issue
by a second. The Vice•Chancellcr being of opinion that the
Mart pursued the order of reference width contemplated a
settlement, such as is made in the marriage of wade of
court, disallowed the exceptions.—The Solicitor General. Mt.
Walker,and Mr.Taylor.ia support oldie sprier and exceptions
said the terms of the 23rd section of the act coatemplated
such a settlement of the infant's property as would deprive
the husband of all possible beneficial interest in any part of
it ; whereas, if the wife may under the settlement appoint
one-third (above 5,0001.) in the buvband'a lifetime, he may
the next day after execution of the settlement get her to ap-
point in his favour to that extent. The direct obiect of the
act was to punish tech parties u procured tho marriage of
infants by fraud. In one of the first eases under the act,
" The Attorney-General e. Mulloy " (4 Russell, p. 329), Sir
J. -
each, Master of the Rolls, held that in any case brought
the act the court has no discretion to mill-
i=
penalty, but is bound to settle and secure all pro-
tilaipellent and future, of the infant for the benefit ot
rt:fant and his or her issue. They farther contended
that power ought to be reserved to Mrs. Lucas in the event
of her surviving Mr. Lucas and marrying again, to make a
settlement of part of her property on the issue of the second
marriage; she may possibly also survive the children of the
present marriage, though there are four already.—Mr. Roll
and Mr. Collis, for Mrs. Lucas, supported the Vice Chan-
, eellor's order, and the settlement as approved by the Master.
I It was not intended by the legislature to deprive the innocent
party of all benefit of theproperty. The settlement as approved
by the master, gave Mrs. Lucas power of appointing by will
at deed one-third of the personalty only, the remainder and
all the realty being settled on the issue of the marriage.
Pft.Vill,l7 for the issue of a second marriage is properly
emitted from the aettlament, fteeordiag to tie camp ul At-
up...roenersi e. Malloy," as decided by the present
Mort of the Rolls (7 Baran, 349).—The Lord Chancellor,
without hearing the Solicitor-General in reply, said he was
'of opinion the Master miscarried is giving the wife the
power of appointing any part of the property daring the life
of her and her husband. It was but reasonable that she
should have the disposal of some part of it, as she was an
inno-ent party. The alteration his lordship would make
would be to give the wife power by will, but not by dead,
to dispose of the third part of the personalty, in which ace
the husband could not have any benefit from the property
during the wife's life ; whereas, if power of appointment by
deed was given to bar, she might be induced to exercise that
power in his favour, and he would derive immediate benefit
from the property.—The Vic -Chancellor's order was
ordered to be varied accordingly.
