ment of money into Ceiurt, or for tlie transfer of stork into Colln
but such order shall be general, and the party to make the payment
or transfer shall have secured to him such time as the Covet may
think reasonable for that purpose by the order, restraining the par/
who obtains it from greying a writ of execution of the order, until
after that time.

.....
122. That whenever any order is hereafter made by the Court,
that money shall be laid out by the Accountant.fieneral in the
purchase of stock or Exchequer bill'', or that dividends to tie re-
ceived by the Accountant•Gureral shall from time to time be in.
vested there, the Accnuntattt•(ienera'. shall at once pmceed in lay
out such money, or to invest such dividends. from time to time,
without waiting for the written request from the solicitor, which is
required by the present practice. And whenever Exchequer hills,
Purchased by the Accountant-ifienersl, or deposited with hint, be-
come payable, there also the Accountant-Oeneral shall receive the
&Mount, due upon such bills. and reinvest the same in the pur-
chase of other Exchequer bills, without waiting for the solicitor's
requ
i:4l. That where the resistance to the payment of a le,7acv arises
wholly from a doubt as to the construction of tbe.gift in the will,
there, either the legatee or the executor, upon a eetitina without
bill, miry, if It appear rape Item to the Court. obtain so immediate
judgmeet upon the print; and the Court shall thereupon make
such order ns the tease appears to require. either with respect to the
payment of the legacy, or the costs of the proceeding; and each
order shall he subject to the saute rules of re-staring or appeal as if
matle.tn a cause.
124. That it appearing upon the evidence that doubts have been
entertained whether, upon a bill filed by any :party intern. rot. or by
an executor ear other trustee. for the construction nt any will or other
instrument. or for the direction of the Court on any matter of trust,
i it is in the discretion of the Court to confine its decree to the yet-
ticulor relief prayed by the bill, without taking upon iteelf the
general execution of the trusts of the will or other instrument, it
Is expedient that it be considered that such discretion does, in all
C11,4e/I, reside with the Court. _ _

126. That,' in all cases where the defendant may protect himself
by demurter or plea, from discovery either to the whole nr to a part
of the bill, there the defendant shall be at liberty to insist upon the
same ma:ter of defence by way of answer; and shall thereby be
protected from all further discovery, either to the whoa bill oe to
the part in question, as the case may be, excepths to discovery to
which the plaintiff would have been entitled hi support of the plea,
it the defendant had made his defence by plea instead of answer;
and that where the plaintiff shall except to such answer of the de-
tendatit, on the ground that the same defence, if mode by demurrer
or plea, would not have protected the defendant from ftirtheid;sco-
, very, firer, the plaintiff. ice the place of setting down the exception
before the Master, shall be at liberty to move the Court that his
exception be allowed ; and the Court shall make order thereupon
*meltingly. And wherever the sufficiency of defence in that re-
spect is declared by the Cnurt, or is admitted by the plaintiff a ith-
out exception, there the plaintiff ahall proceed in his cause in the
eame manner in all respects, as he would have been entitled to do
by the present practice of the Court if the defendant had pleaded
or demiesed, either wholly or partially, to the bill.
12r. That to every bill, where the common injunction to step
proceedings at law is sought, there shall be annexed an affidavit,
made by the plaintiff and his solicitor, stating that the hilt is hot
tiled fot delay, and only for the purpose of obtaining equitable re-
lief, or discovery in aid of a proceeding at law ; and the plaintiff
shall further state in such affidavit, the time when he wan fiat ad..
sited of his alleged equitable title; and the solicitor shall farther
mate in such affidavit, the time when he was first apprised of; or
wet aware of such alleged equitable title. And where it shall hap-
pen, from unavoidable circumstances, that an affidavit cannot be
made by the plaintiff, there an affidavit, to the effect aforesaid, as
far a. the same respects the solicitor, shall he made by the solicitor
alone; anti the solicitor shall add to his affidavit a statement of the
circkprtstances, by which the plaintiff is prevented from making
the atfillavit hereinbetore required, in order that it may appear the:
thehame were unavoidable.
117, That, where an executor or administrator is plaintiff in a
suit for the administration of the assets of hit testator or intestate,
there lie shall annex to the bill a schedule, containing a statement
of Cp rweipts anti payments an such executor or administrator, and
of fife bahnce then in his hands on that =cream, and also a state-
ment of all the outstanding property of the said testator or Intestate,
and of the debts due to him, as far as the same have come to his
knowledge; and shall verity the same by an affidavit, to he an-
nexed to his bill. And that, where an executor or adminrstra:tie
shall be defendant in a suit for the administration of the assets of
his teatator or intestate, there he shall in like manner annex to hit
answer a similar schedule, containing a stetement of his receipts
and payments as such executor or administrator, and of the balance
then irk his hands on that account, and also a statement of all the
outstanding property of the said testator or intestate, and of the
debts due to him, as far as the same have come to his knowledge;
and shall verify the same by his answer. And that nn such bill or
answer shall be filed in the Six Clerks Office, unless these direetkk, s
be complied with ; and, in order to enable the Six Clerks to aat in
that teepee?, there shall, on every such bill, be indorsed by the
Clerk in Court, that it is a " bill for the administration of assets ;"
and on every such answer, there shall in like manner be indorsed
by tile Clerk in Court, that it is an " answer to a bill fur the wind-
nistration of assets."
128. That, at any time after the filing of any such bill or an-
swer, the Court may make such order as shall be expedient etv
the security of the balance so appearing to be in the hands orthe
executor or administrator, and of the outstanding property of the

said testator or intestate' and of the debts due to him, upon the
summary application of any party to the suit, or of any creditor or
other person interested in the assets to be administered, although
not a party to the suit.
129. That, in order to enable creditors or other persons interested
. .

in the administration of the assets of a testator or intestate, who
are not parties to the suit, to make such applications. any
perscn upon applying to any Clerk in Court, and producing an
office copy of an affidavit filed, that he is either a creditor et other
person interested in the administration of the.aasets;.pr, is autpu.
rized by some other person whom he believes to be a cteditor or per.
son interested in such administration, sh..H be at liberty to read any
such bill or answer in the la': Clerks Office, upon paying for the
same a tee orris. lid.; and may take an office copy of such pan of
the bill or 'answer as he thinks fit.—( re As Matti/tun/4
