COURT Of CHANCERY--Savesean Anew 16
Julius-roe" DOWILL, AND OTWERS, 'N. THORNTON,
(EATING, AND °THUM
Mr. Fottatattquc, on the part of the Defendant,
Colonel Thornton, of Thornville Royal, in York-,
shire, moved that the Master 'lmola be ordered to
inquire into the different sums of money due on the
estates of Colonel Thornton, which had been vested
in the hands of trustees, in order to create a fund
for the discharge of the deb.,. The ground of this
motion, as stated by the Learned Gentleman, was.
that there was already a fund sufficient to pay off
many of the debts, and that Col )ncl Thornton was
about to s(11 a part of the estates to Lord Stourton,
who, of course, could not be expeeted to advance
the money, uotil the estate he was to purchase was
freed from all incumhtances.
Mr. Rostit.Ly. on the partof the trustees, assent-
ed, and the creditors willingly consented.
The LORD CNANCALLOR slid, he did not con-
ceive there could be any objection.

CARLTON r. SIR wiattest LEIGHTON.
In this case, which we mentioned in a former
paper, Mr °wee moved, that the Defendant might
be ordered to account for the property of bliss
Miry Chester ?<fetal', k lunatic, of which he was
a trustee, And also that he should lodge the title
deeds Mahe estate, of which Ann Metcalf, deceased,
was formerly possessed, in the custody re the master,
for the purpose of giving the Plaintiff, who chimed
as heir at law, an opportunity of examinina them.
The ground of this motion was, that Sir eV. Leigh-
ton had possessed himself of these deeds and papers,
as trustee arid agent for the family.
Mr. Foe at move, on the part of the Defendant,
contended, that though Sir William had. received
the deeds formerly, as trustee and agent, yet, as he
had since acquired a right to one third of the estate,
and had also a claim on it to the amottut of 8001. the
Plaintiff could have no right to require him to give
up the possession.
The loot u CHANCELLOR asked Mr. Foe sae/Nut
whether he had affidavits of the falls ; and being
answered in the affirmative, said that he could not,
under taese circumstances, take the deeds out of the
Defendant's peseession. His Lordship then or-
dered, that the Plaintiff should have full liberty to
inspek, or take copies of them.
