The Loam CHANCELLOR came late Court at

EDWARD WA DDII.O•E, IN 11111 MATTER or ED•
WARD LANGLEY. A SUPPOSED LURA TIC.

Mr. HART stated tins Pt titdon carne before hit
Lordship on a caveat. The Petitioner was the
grandson of Mr. Langley. who was of the age of
ninety, and it stated that Mr. Langley, from his
great age. was so incapacitated by imbecility as not
to be able to attend to his affairs; there was
no allegation of soy previous insanity, but the
Court bad been in the habit of surrounding per-
sons so situated with the protection of the Court.
by issuing a commission of lunacy sgatiiitt them.
The affidavit of the petitioner stated that Mr. Lang-
ley. limn his great age, was incapable of 'imag-
ing his affairs; that two years hark he came to the petitioner
to eomplain of the conduct of Mrs. Langley, his wife, not
the priiiiuner's grandmother. whets there was no fousdation
for the complaint; and on one occasion, when he called au
the petitioner to complain of the misconduct of Mrs. Lang-
ley, he asked him to take • lodging for him. The petitioner
look him in his carriage,•nd brought him back to his hots',
which he did sot recollect, hot took it to be a lodging. On
another occasion be told the petitioner that all the furniture
of his horse had been sold, which was mot the case. The
affidavit of another vondson of Mr. Langky, Mr. W. Wad-
dilove, • solicitor, stated, that abont four months bark he
consulted a Mr. Greene as to Mr. Langley hi tog capable of
maasging his affair*, and that geottemaa was of opinion
that he was not. Mr. Lanky bad thirteen grandchildren,
and he did not know any of them ; he deuied he had Ail-
thee or grandchildren. That he often came to the chambers
of the ileponent in Lincoln's Inn, and said on account
of the ill.tresiment of his wife (which was not the fact) he
wanted lodgings In the deponent's chambers, although he
knew there was no accommodation in them for him ; in the
month of March last he came to the deponent's chambera,
and then sent his coachman away, and asked the ricpuiseut
to take lodging's for him, which the deponent pretended to
do, and on his inquiring where they were the deponent sent
his clerk with him to skew him a bookseller's shop at the
corner of Lincoln's Inn fields a, the house he was to lodge
is be asked the clerk whether John his coachman wan
there, sad being answered in the negative, he said it was DID
matter; he thought he would be very comfortable in the
lodgings, for they could not take him into custody, as be
had no smuggled goods about him ; he gave the deponent a
hi. note to get changed fur him, sad when the deponent
offered him the gold be had forgot that he had given the de-
ponent the note; al another time Mr. Langley applied to an
auctioneer to sell his house and furniture, although he had
no
other residence. The Learned Counsel contended that
these circumstances were quite eolßeieat to induce his Lord.
ship to order an inquiry into the state of the mind of Mr.
Langley, particularly as the allegations in the affidavits
which be had stated were in part admitted 00 the other side.
The affidavit of Mrs. Langley stated, that Mr. Langley was
of the advanced age of ninety, and his mind was affected by
his age, but he had hitherto managed hie affairs with pro-
priety with her assistance, and that he knew the value of
a cheek on a beaker. The affidavit' of John Wood, coach-
man to Mr. Langley, stated that be had been in the service
of that gentleman slate the year 1819, and was in the con-
stant habit of driving him in the carriage. When be went
first into his service, his mind appeared impaired from old
age, but it did not Increase as much as might be expected,
and his bodily health was now better than ulna the depu.
neat entered his service; and that he was alarm sensible
except when irritated abort money. The deposing aka
drove him to the chambers of his grandson, Wm. Waddi-
love, on which occasions Mr. Langley told deponent that hie
was going after money which his grouchy° bad received fur
him, but which he could not get from him. Mr. Langley
always seemed angry and irritated on coming away. There
was also an affidavit of Miss Elizabeth Burton, one of the
granddaughters of Mr. Langley, which staled that he always
knew her, and wet in the habit of catering into conversation
with her, sod that be always knew the valise of money. The
Learned Counsel contended that so far from these affidavits
contradicting those in support of the commission, they tacitly
admitted their allegations. He had stated the whole substance
of the stlfidavit4, except some allegation* relative to pecu-
niary affairs, which never wish' to have been mixed up
with the ease for the Court to decide 00, and which could
have so influence on the mind of his Lordship. Dr. Latham
had made an affidavit, that in hie opinion Mr. Langley was
not is a state of mind that would awlhuti e his coming wi-
der a consignation of lunacy, for that his ***** nation was
rational; that might be tree, bet the question for the consi-
deration of the Court was, whether his focallin had nut
been so much worn oat by old age, that he was 'Leah!, 11
from managing his own affairs. He (the Learned Counsel,
was of °pinkie that be had clearly shelve they were is that
state, and treated his Lot dship would grant an inquiry.
Mr. Rosa followed on the same side.

Mr. H.ALD said, he appeared in this ease as Counsel
for Mr. Langley, mud Ms Learned Friends Lad told Ins Lad.
chip that at would he better fur that geutletnan that le
should be made insane in spate of his teeth, for the merce-
nary views of his grandebildien, thou pass the remaiuder of
his days in quiet in the bosom of his family. Mr. Lumley
was not 90 years of age, which appeared by his indenture vt
apprenticeship; be was, however, near that age, and be
cause be bad arrived at it his graodeows bail irritatid him
in money matters, although be had made • will in their
favour, after which they say he is of imbealle mind. Uwe ut
them (WiSim") is a solicitor. sad bad dune businem for hi•
grandfather; bow can he ray that be is of imbecile mind •
They had confined the charge of imbecility to the last ale
months abich p led him (the Learned Counsel) Irons
commenting on tramactions which had taken place setae',
dent. Mr. Langley had thirteen grandebildree, some of the
name of Barton, and others of the name of Waddilum ;
it seemed the latter bed been his principal care under Lis
will, and he had been heard to say bit he would never alter
it. He would nut deny but Mr. lAugley was an avaricious
man, and was. easily Irritated about money, which wasp:treed
by the alfilavit of Wood, and was answered by sot of
Mr. Wm. Waddilove. It appeared that be (Waddileve) Nu t
Mr. Langley that be had received a letter form the
Solicitor of Mr. Norman, on whose estate Mr. Langley keel
a mortgage of 7001., that if he wished be would pay oil the
mortgage. Mr. Langley couseoted to receive it, mid gabrite
be nabs d his grandson atone time afterwards fur it, Int *el -I
him that he most wait fur the money ranch Norton had sot

those kind of transactiuns; that after the ileponeut receio it
the money fur the mortgage, Mr. Langley was iu the twine
of calling two or three limes a week at hie chembrie
in a most urgent manner. He (Mr. Heald) could n.l

at a time when the preseut petition was preeen•ed. Ile
would wish to wit who tad the legal conveyer', e

tition was granted, be would have the comfort of ktiowirg
that it w eeeee cuted by a lunatic. He would ask why Waddi.
