COURT OF CONIqON PLEAS, Wz3rmwsrca, Jumi 3.

DEAN • !RITE.
Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD applied for a Rule to
spew cause why a Mr. Smith, an Attorney, should
not pay to the Plaintiff, Mr. Dean, the sum of 30001.
which he had received for the release of a bond
of annuity. From the statement made, it appear-
ed that this Mr. Smith had been formerly em-
ployed, in his official capacity, to purchase an
annuity for Mr Dean, from Mr. Brett. This
business he performed, made out the deeds accord-
ingly. and received the annuity as Mr. Otan's At-
torney, which be remitted to bis Client. After a
considerable time had expired, Mr. Brett proposed
to release the annuity. Mr. Smith, as his Attor-
ney, made out the necessary inktrument of assign-
ment, and received back the 3,0001. from Mr.
Brett for the re-purchase; and 3001. of which
sum, he immediately re-paid to his Client. Some'
time afterwards, however, when applied to by
Nir. Dean for the remainder of the sum of 3,0001.
he refused to pay it to him, alleging that he (Mr.
Dean, his Client,) was not in his sound senses, and
was therefore incapable of managing his own affairs.
Rule granted.
