The LORD Ceaucattoa came into Court at
ten o'clock.

This is the first Seal after Term.
commonly U. LUSH.
The Loss CHANCELLOR took • review of the
instruments in this ease, and observed, as to the
heritable bond executed by the late Colonel Cole-
?smoke, on the Sth of February, 1808, granting
to the petitioner, his wife, an annuity of eight
hundred pounds per annum on his Scotch estates,
that there could he no doubt but she was en-
titled to receive it out of the rents of the Scotch
',Wes, but ehe petition prayed that it might he
Maid, with s further sum of 4001. to her out of the
Testator's Euglish estates. The Testator made his
will three weeks after he had executed the heritable
hand, by which he directed that all his estates in
England, with the exception of the manor of Step.-
. ssey should be sold, and the value of them to be vest-
.ed in his executors, for the payment of his funeral ex-
penses, leis debts, and legacies. He then directed
that 2501. a-year should be paid to each of Iris two
daucleters for their support and education during
their milowley, and that 1,2001. per annum should
he paid to his wife, during her life, far her stile use;
but ibis was followed nil by a clause, that if he was
to snake Gov other provision for his wife d g Isis
life-time, that the amount of such provision should
be deducted from the annuity of the 1,200/. charge-
whir on the English fund. ; therefore, there could
he no doubt hut that the Lady was ',titled to be
paid 8001. per annum out of elle Scotch estate", and
4001. per annum out of the fiend in Eitgl.ised, but
she pritte.l to be paid the whole 1,200/. out of
the letter fund. He was afraid he could not make
twit order, as the remainder of the English fund
went to the daughters of the testator, and ef they
lived until tweedy-one they could then take it ; not
an with the Scotch estates, for they were similar to
what were called in this country estates in tail, and
if they died at the age of twenty-two without issue,
the estates in Scotland would go to the next of kph,
belt the English fund was at their disposal at
11- might tint,, he &Ong an injury to the infants if
he ordered the 1,4001. to be paid out of the Eng-
les!) fiend, and send them to reimburse 111601411ns
..tit of tlw Scotch estates. Ile was most anxious to
do every thing in leis poster for the convenience of
the Petitioner, and he wished to know why the
800 j. a year on the Scotch estates !tad tint been re-
golarly paid to Mts. Colebrouke, and before he gave
Isis final decision he most hove an explanation on
that point. He therefore reqiiested that Mr. Had
awl Mr. Wetherell wou!il inquire whatt was the
difficulty that had prevented its being paid. As to
the payment of 4001. a year out of the English
fund there could he tin el ffieulty. When Counsel
had made the inquiry he suggested, be would thank
them to communicate the result to him, and he
would then know how to act.
Further consideration postponed.

watch-maker and silversmith, residing in London ;
the Defendant was in the same say or bushiest, and
lived at Margate, in Kent. They bud dealings to-
gether to antic amount, hot the b dance due to
the Plaintiff on the whole account, which com-
menced in 1809, and continued till 25th June
I U, was 41/. 04. 61. which sum the Plaintiff
sought to recover by their verdict. The account
had been standing for some. years, but that was
entirely owing to the tribe:trance of his client, who
being aware that the Defendant was a distressed
man, indulged him with time, • and in return, he
now pleaded the Sta•ute of Limitatimis in answer
to the Plaintill's jos*. demand ; but lie should prove
• payment nu account within the period of bre
ems, which would eff.cttially take the case out of
the operation of the t.t.,tute.
Mr. Joseph Abrahams, son of the Plaintiff, was
then sworn and examinetl.—lle stated the balance
slime to be 41/. 0.. 61. and that on the 16.11 of
July. 1816, the Defendant came and paid at his
fother's home 51. on account ; some lime after that
he applied to the Defendant for payment of the
balance ; lie said that he ass not then in good cir-
cumstances, but as soon as be got a little round he
would send w.tiress's father some money.
In answer to this case Mr. Alistavvyr called
'everyl witnesses, and also pill iu some letters of
the Defendant to his
wife,
from
which it appeared
that on the 16th of July, 1816, be was at Can-
terbury.
