these allegation.; he stated, were supported by af-

The certificate of Dr. Slater described the lunatic
to he enjoying every comfort that the state of his
mind would allow. There was certainly uructi
conflictiog evidence, but it was for hie Lordship so
decide which ought so receive the greatest credit.
It was tine of those kind of cases that his Lordship
could better decide by reading the affidavits than
by the arguments of Counsel.
Mr. HEALD, Counsel for the committee, con-
tended that the petitiOn was presented through a
conspiracy to remove the committee who had the
cute of the lewdly, and who had no opportunity of
answering the fresh sflidavits on the usher side, a.
the petition we* filed on the 19th of Mardi, only
two days before the day of hearing petitions.
The I.OIID CHANCELLOI-04 The affidavits of
Mr. Heald'a client doei ant apply tat the most
ius-
portuut part of the case, for the only persons whir
can give the wiceisary information that this Court
requires are Mr. rod Mra. Malcolm, the com-
mittee of the lunatic—l mean as to the expendi-
ture of the 9001. per annum allowed for the main-
lenience of the lunatic, and they have made no affi-
davit. As to the affidurit of the young lady, the
luostic's sister, 1 think it rather supports than
negatives the allegations of the petition, as she
acknowledges that she encoded on the lunatic its
common with the family. it appears by the
Mrater's season that a female aeommit. std is boy
were to be kept to rottend on the lunatic, and fur
which the Master allowed the sum of 701. per ato-
nal". if the establishment for the lunatic is not
kept no in a reasonable degree, according to the
Master's report, 1 cannot let the case re* as it does.
Let the petition stand over until the day after the
