THE LATE LORD CHEDWORTFV2 WILL.
ammo nod vinyls e. WISOSIT.
• This was an issue from the Court of Chancery.,
to try the question, whether the late Lord *C,ll;d-
-worth was of sound mind and understanding at the
time of making his last Will and Testantent ?
The Pl.iiiltiff* were the Legatees under the Will,
and the Defendant, Colonel Wright, the Heir at
Law, claiming the real and personal property.
The Learned Counsel, for the Plaintiffs, stated,
that n epening a case to a Jury, the advocate gene-.
tally had two difficulties to contend with; the one
;was, how he should arrange his proofs so as to meet
the statement he should make; and the other was,
what answer his adrersary should have to those
proofs. In the present case, the latter was what he
liad to contend with, for he could nor, by ar.y means.
•.divine. what answer his Learned Opponents could
Co-ssibly give to the ease he should lay efore the
urt auJ Jury. It very often happenbed, when
large properties were left to aliens in blood, strange
Hangs were circulated of the *Festator, by the Heirs
it LAW, in order to persuade the world to look on
biro as unfit to be trusted with the disposal of his
• property, and not unfrequently amounting to a de-
privation of his liberty. Such neatly had been the
suggestions recording the late Lord Chedworth ;
• though he pledged himself to prove hint, from the
fast dawning% of his reason, to the lan moments of,
I. his lite, a man, lucid, /ober, and consistent, remark-
• ably acute and intelligent, a man of literature.
ar.d an accomplished scholar. He should trace'
him through all the important fundions of a 50...
• stator, a Magistrate, and a private gintleman ia
every of which situations he uniformly condudedd
himself as a man of sound mind, and uncommosel
understanding ; at all times is a way that rendered:
his sanity incontestible ; and, could the shade of,
his Lordship witness the proceedings of that day.
• it would taiumph in the knowledge, that all those
whom his .Lordship hid held dear in this world,
' were speaking of his name and memory with that
afftatoo and regard they so well Meritedl.Upnts the
Dial of Mr. Hastings, his Lordship took notes trf
%this whale proceedings, and upon a subsequent on-
cation, those notes wrte referred to by the House
of Peers, as the most cotred and accurate authority.
As a Magistrate—for many years he hid aced as
Chairman of the Quarter Sessions in Suffolk, whets
be gave the utmost satisfadam ; and, in all cases of
doubt or difficulty, his judgment was always re-
ferred to, and adopted by, his brother Magistrates.
lon private life, be was the elegant and accomplished
gentleman, the sincere friend, and pleasing com-
panion. kte was also a congest visitor at New-
market ; and tram his
.good sense and observation,
generally returned a gamer by his excursion. But,
an his life time, be had his mortifieatione as well as
ether men. It win his nsisfortnne to have an im-
putation cast upon his charafler, of a very dis-
dressing nature, at a race ground, near Epsom ;
nod shbough his innocence was established by a
Jury of his country, and shanifier exculpated
In the eye of the world, she ssecaeotiort asall .peered
wpm his mind. and stinted his disposition. It was
ore, the Noble Lord had made a disposition of his
peapsety, to the exclusion of his relations; but, it
was well knowa they had deserted him, and he very
usturally lost ill regard for them. He was par-
• tieulaciy notched to, and Cbeeeetaat with, all *the-
ntsical subjects; and from this might arise many of
the
,disposauons that. appeared in his Will. In con.
elation, the Leaned Countiel adverted to several
biters milieu by his Lordship. months after the
execution of the Will in question, and expressed a
bop', that it would not be adduced as an instance of
dais insanity, that be had written the instrument in
iti'mreretariy. with his own beads, end with the Pre-
cision and corredness of the most able conveyancer.
Is' again, ;repeated the pledge he had made in his
noise. of proving the case beyond all doubt.
The Will being produced by the roper Officerii
• Mr. Samuel Fetch, J. Jackson, and C. Batley,
three respe-table tradesman from Ipswich, and the
testameiltaty Witnesses to the Will, proved the
elocution of it. and all agreed that the deceased
was of perfedly sane mind and understanding at the'
visit. They knew the deoeased, and were called'
is to sign the Will, by Dr. Johnston and the Rev.
Wt. Lake, his Lord.bip's Physician and Friend.
