the applicant should have liberty to take such proceedings
at law to substantiate his title to the estates in the plead-
ings mentioned, by ejectment or otherwise, as he should
be advised ; and that the defendant, the infant who, by
himself or his trustees and guardians, is now in the pos-
session of the estates, might be restrained from setting
up in such action any terms, charges, orders, proceedings,
and legal estates, or any or either of them, as a defence
thereto, cud 'night be ordered to produce all deeds mud
other muniments of title at the trial of such action.

Mr. Chapman barber, Mr. Ora°'mall, and Mr. Ram-
edge, for the defendant, opposed the application.

the application ought not to be taken as a short one,
ordered the causes to stand over, and to be set down
