LAW INTELLIGENCES

COURT OF CHANCERY, Lincoues lAA,
Usual:um, JANUARY 17.

COLEHEOGKE D. LEIGH AND OTHERS.

- - -----
The ATTORNEY.IGENERAL stated that this wai
the petition of Henry Thomas Colebrooke, uncle of
the infant Plaintiffs. praying that the Master's
report of the 9:h of August, 1820, might be
courfirmed, appointing the Marquis and Marchio-
ness of Northampton guardians of the infants
during an inquiry that was pending before the
Master. lie understood this was opposed by Mrs.
Behurls Cidebrooke, now Tatar, the mother of the
infants and the widow of the testator, George Cole-
brooke, Esq. deceased, who claimed to he the tes-
tamentary guardian of the infant Plaintiffs; she
had not thought proper to present a petition, that
the Master's resort ought not to be confirmed, but
had filed 811 slhdavit containing irrelevant matter
to the petition presented by his client, which in his
opinion ought not to be used on this occasion.
The petition of his client stated, that in pursosnce
of an order of the Court of the 13th of July,
1830, on the petition of the muther of the Merits, it
was referred to the Master to appoint a proper per-
son to be the guardian of the infants during the
inquiries directed to be matte by him, the Master.
Ou the 13th of August, 1818, and on the 3d of
August, 1820, it was ordered by the Court that
the order of July, 18e0, should be varied, by in-
troducing the words " guardians, or !brooms in the
nature of guardiati.," after the word " guardians."
It appeared ul.o, that there was all order made by
the Court to rtfer it to the Muster, to inquire whe-
ther the infants Behind, Culebrooke and Georgians
Harriet Colebtooke had any rowdier., and if not,
who ought to be appointed as their guardian); and
that, in considesing the fitireu of ally parson who
might be proposed, the Master was to have regard to
the fact that there were adverse claims set up by some
of We relations of the testator, to pert of the property
of the infanta, and the Muster made his report on
the 14th of July, 1818, certifying that the peti-
tioner had proposed the Marquis of Northampton
to Ise the guardian of the infants ; and that their
mother had proposed Charles Dickenson, of Far-
ley-Hall, in the county of Barks, and of S1'6111)141-
row, Buckingham-gate, E.q., who was a married
man, and are intimate acquaintance of the testator
in his lifetime. to be the guardian of her dough.
ten; and that several affidevits of testimonials of
character of Charles Dickenson, E.q. were laid
before him, and Mr. Dickenson declared to him,
if he was appointed guardian of the infants, they
should continue to reside with their grandmother.
the Dowager Lady Colebrooke, for the purpose of
her introducing them into society. The Master
appointed Mr. Dickenson Ore guardian 11l the in-
fants. The Dowager Luly Culehrooke having died,
it was referred back to the Master to review his
report, and inquire and determine where the in.
hoots ought to rtsede, and whether the mother of
the infants should be allowed to see them alone or
otherwise, before he made his report ; but it up.
prated there was no proceedings before he Master
on this order until the 14t1r of March, 1820, wire.
• proposel was made nit the part of We mother of
the infants, that they should reside in future with
the wife of the Rev. George Masters, the daughter
of Sir Alexander Grant, Butt. and on die .oth of
the same mouth • proposal was made by the mo-
ther of the infants to the Master, that u meeting
might take piece between her and her children in
the presence of the late Archdeacon of Bath, but
before rely proceedings took place on the proposals,
it was referred to the Master to inquire and•
report whether John Shaw Stewart, Esq. •
Scots Advocate, was a fit person fur the iufent Plain-
. MI, Belinda Colebrooke, to intermarry with; and
if the Master was of ()pillion that he was, that lie
might be at liberty to send in proposals for a mar-
rouge settletnerit on the infant Belinile. However,
on the 27th of May, 1820, the mother of the it.-
Grits presented a petitieti to the Court, praying
that the proceedings before the Master might be
stayed. until a proper person or persons should
be appointed guardian or guardians of the
infants, and that they might he forthwith order-
ed out of the custody of the petitioner and Mrs.
Lee, and that they should be put wider the
care of some proper person until a guardian was
appointed, and that the Court aliould colifirin the
Master's report of the 15th of July, 1818, appoint-
ing Mr. Dickenson the guardian of the lands.
On this petition it was again referred to the Master
to inquire and report who was a proper person to
be appointed guurdian to the infants. and he re-
ported that the Marquis and Marchionees of North-
imipton were, pending the inquiry under the order
of the Court, of the 15th of August, 1813. The
Learned Counsel said he had stated the petition,
which in his opinion was all that Was necessary, as
there was no petition to set aside the report as to
the affidavit of the mother of the Mawr. it stated
circumstances which had nothing to do with the
qutation before his Lordship for his circle for
which reliant. he would not read it. Ile therefore
had no doubt but his Lordship would grant the
prayer of the petition.
M. W yerr followed on the same sidee—Fle hid
nothing to add to what hal fallen from hits Learned
Leader, except that the only thing which bore en
the present question in the affidavit of the mother
of the ii.fatirs was, that there were affidavits of tea.
timotrials of character put in on her part before the
Master, certifying that %Ir. Dickenson was • pro-
per person to he the guardian of the infants, mut
that none had been presented by the petitioner as
to the fitness of the Marquis of Northampton to the
same office. He hail nu doubt but the Muster was
of opinion, as he was convinced his Lordship would
be, that such testimonials to the character of the
Noble Marquis were unnecessary.
The LORD CHANCELLOII-.." In these cases of
guardianships, they have arisen to such a height of
litigation. that if they are not stopped it will be im-
possible for the Court to appoint a guardian at all."
Mr. WINGFIELD, Counsel for the infant Muni-
tilts, said, it was the wish of his clients that the
Masler's report might be confirmed. As to the want
of testimonials of character of the Marquis of Nor-
thampton being • person fitting to be the guardians
of the infants, the Master must have thought, with
every reasonable man, that they were nurteceasary,
for his rank ill life was a sufficient security.
Mr. Wiwi-meet( followed on the same side, !'

Mid observed, it was the fervent wish of the infants
that all litigation might be put an end to.
.111 r Haiti.. Comm! for the mother of the in-
' rants, said, that his Learned Friends had complained
of the affidavit of Iris client, and had. objected to
it, but had afterwards user! it for the pot-pose of
their arguments; he would else it, not by
stating parts of it, but by renlieg the whole
of it. He was astonished that his Learned Friend,
Mr. Wingfield, should seem to Omsk that the title
of • person of rank was sufficient testimortial of
character to make the person besrmg it lilting to
be the guardian of infaut females. His Lordship
he knew, would make no diffirence between the
high sod the low, and if lie bad any feeling. it
would he towards the latter. fie knew nothing of
the Noble Marquis ; he might be a man 1111061 fit
for the situation, but there was twilling in the
Master's report thst chewed that he we., and the
question before the Court was, 'theater the Noble
Marquis or Mr. Dickenson were most eligible to
fulfil the duties of such an important office,
and testimonials of the finless of Mr. I)ickenstitt
for the office were laid before the Nlaster.—
The Learned Counsel then stated the affidavit
of his client; it set forth that an order of the Court
was made on the 2711. of November 1817, by which
it was referred to Illa.ter Cox to inquire whether the
infants had then ally guardian and whom, and if
nut, to inquire who was the proper person or persons
to be such guardian or guardians ; and ni con-
sidering the fitness of any person who utight be
proposed as guardian, to have regard to the fact
that there weir: ailvc,se claims set up by 50101 of
the relations of the testatorr to part of the property
of the infants; 'hut 11. T. Colebrooke, the present
petitioner and brother of the testator, and the 'ter-
son who was prosecuting on behalf of his oilier bro•
titer, Sir J.E.Culebrooke, the marrow claims in Sent-
land to the estates of the iiilatits, proposed the Mer-
quits of Northampton, who had married a bear re-
lation of her own, to 1w guardian of the taints; and
that the depoocitt purposed Charles Dickenson,
Esq. to be such guardian, which proposal wars
approved of by the Alttstrr, who repotted upon the,
adverse claims of the relations of the testator to the
property of the infants, objections were taken to the
Master's report, and in support of them it was as-
serted that the adverse claims hail been in the interim
withdrawn. About the time of the hearing of the
exceptions, Lady Colebrooke, die mother of the
testator, with whom the infants rented, died, iii
consequence of which it was referred bock to Mus-
ter Cox to review his report, and to consider its what
place the intuits should thereafter reside; that H.
T. Colebrooke ngain proposed the Marquis of Nor.
thampton, *and produce:l proof's that the ad-
verse claims were withdrawn, by giving to the
Master a letter written by himself, stating so, but
deponent believed the letter to be insufficient to bar
the claims of his elder brother, Sir James E. Cole-
brooke, residing is India, or the future claims of
himself or his brother's children, or his own chil-
dren,and that the adverse claims can only be legally
set at rest by deeds of renunciation in the Scottish
form, and duly registered in that country. A stale-
mesa of facts was given into the Master, statiug
that H. I'. Colebroulie having brought the legiti-
macy of the infants into question for the sok purpose
of overthrowing the right of their mother, the
deponent, to their guardianship, under the will of
the testator, could himself have tio right is inter-
fere in any matter relative to the infants or their
affairs, and while the infants had been under the
tuition and self-appointed guardianship of H. T.
Cokbraoke, the funds and rental of their Scotch
estates had been squandered in useless. vexatious,
and expensive law-suits, and io kerpittg up an
.expensive establishment at Hampstead, which
expenditure, although the infants were expressly
limited by the will of the testator to on allowance
of 2501. per annum each fur board and education,
had beets 2,000/. per annum, mid by such expen.

dren of Sir George Colelnooke, the father of die

brauce upon the Scotch estate, and the deponent
believed the interest was considerably in arrear ;
that while the infants have been under the care and
tuition of H. 'l'. Culehrooke, the eldest infant was
allowed to enter into, a clandestine engagement of
marriage with a person much beneath herself in
situation and circumstances, and such engagement
of marriage was carefully concealed from the depo-
tient by H. T. Colehrooke until it was accidentally
disclosed to her, upon the discovery of which she
prosecuted the reference before the Master, in the
hopes to remove the infants from the custody of
11. 'l'. Colebroake, and to place them with • lady
of high respectability ; about which time, in order
to defeat such proceeding, Mr. Rowland Winthurie
Solicitor to the infante, obtained an order, as Soli-
citor to Mr. Stewart, to refer to the Master the ore-
tenet of marriage with the eldest infant, Belinda
Colebrook,. Upon the petition of the deponent,
the Court ordered die Master to proceed in approv-
ing a proper person to be gusrdiau to the infants,
and stayed the proceedings upon Mr. Stewart'i pro-
posal of marriage with the infant Belinda Cole-
brooke, and intimated that all intercourse ought
to be suspended between them. Upois the
reference the deponent again proposed Mr.
Dickenson, and fl. I'. Colebrooke again pro-
posed the Marquis of Northampton to be the
guardian of the infants, and the Master prepared
dmft of his report, approving of the Marquis
and Marchioness of Northampton to he such
guardians, on which farther argument. of Counsel
were heard, on which the Master changed his
opinion, and altered the draft report, as approving
of Mr. Charles Dicketiron to be the guardian ;
that Mr. Rowlett(' IVilubtarn, the solicitor to the
infants (against whose conduct in the cause a peti-
tion and complaint was still depending and midis-
potted of before the Court), procured, without the
knowledge of the deponent or her solicitor, an al-
teration of the order of the Court, restricting the
office of guardian to the mere personal protection
of the infants, said thereby leaving all the peculiar
grievances of the case unprovided for, and the
estates of the infants unprotected, and subject to
the profuse expenditure of their uncle. Sub-
sequently the Master again altered his draft of the
report, and appointed the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Northampton guardians. Notwithe
standing the intimation of the Court. prohibit-
ing Mr. Stewart front taking further steps upon

Master to inquire and report Who was n fit peceon
.to have the temporary custody of the infants, until
it warreietermined who ono their legal guar-Man.-a.
Ile thought the Master ought, inst• ad of Inqiiring
into the meek of the Marquis of Northampton, to
leave inquired as to what wee his proximity to the
infants. If he well appointed their guardian, he
would be only an holouriery one, and the infante
would remain in custody of Ma. Leigh, the lady
that allowed the intercourse between Mr. Stewart
mid the eldest infant. But they were not at pre.
lent so well protected, as they were not in the cus-
tody of Mrs. Leigh, as she ors m Scotland, need
they were living at Hampstead, unprotected, and
acting recording to their own . discretine. Ile
supposed it was intended by the Court, that
whoever had the temporary custody of the laments
should have the strict care of them ;. and • we.
it to be supposed that pasta's of the rank of
the Noble Marquis and Marchioness would pay
that kind of attention to the infants that young
ladies of their age required? But the Master seem-
ed captivated with the title of the Marquis, for he
had lint reported any other qualification that made
him fitting fur the office-of guardian of the infants,
nod. whatever might be the opinion of the Mas-
ter, lie (the Learned Counsel) could not think
is was a sufficient one. The. great disparity be-
tween the rank of the Noble Marquis and the
infants, he considered, was on objection instead of
• recommendation. It was nut proceeded that Mr.
Dickenson was not highly qualified for Il.e trust,
and he considered it incumbent on the Court to
appoint him the guardian of the infants ; if he *es
a proper person to be appointed the joint guerdian
with the late Dowager Lady Coirbrooke, he was
now the proper person to be appointed. The Mas-
ter had wavered in his opinion, he had changed it
three times at the instigation of Mr. Colebrooke.
the person who was trying to get possession of the
estates of his nieces. The Master was directed by
• the Coast to pay attention to the adverse claims
which he had neglected to do; the infants, while they
had been under the self-appointed guardianship of
Mr. Colebrooke had their estates wasted. Whim,
his Lordship looked at his order, and saw the word
fitness there* and that no inquiry was made by the
Master as to the fitness of the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Northampton to fulfil the duties of the
office. he wpm convinced leis Lordship would -not
confirm the Master's report, fur if he was right in
his meaning of the word fitness, it was u person or
persons that would protect the infants in their pecu-
liar PI I usiion.

-.. ..., •

Mr. WrrittaELL followed on the same tide, and
said that he could not agree with his Learned
Friend, Mr. Wingfield, that because a man was
ennobled that he was fit to be a guardian in such
a case us the present. He recollected his Lordship
saying, in a similar case, that he would not belteve
on the statement of any person that the &shop of
London was a proper person to he appointed as
guardian without the statement was supported
by affidavit* of his fitness for the office. The quta-
lion of the illegitimacy of the infants was raised by
Mr. Coltbrooke ; if they were legitimate their mother
was their testamentary guardian ; if they were ille-
gitimate, Mr. Colebrooke had no right or interest
to interfere.

The Loan CHANCELLOR—II I have seen those
young ladies on a former occasion, and from the
understanding displayed by the elder infant on that
occasion, 1 had hoped they would have been re-
lieved from the misery of she litigation iii their
minority. I almost wonder they have not made
some stolen match. The appointment of a ear-
dist) in late days is as much a subject of litigation
as a Chancery suit ; it is high time that the Curs
should put a stop to such procednir."
Mr. WETHERELL, in continuation, said, shit it
was not stated that those Noble Persoiniges, the
Marquis and Marchioness of Northanspou, were to
take the infants to reside with them. In Scotland
they had been under the care of Mrs. Leigh, and
how well she had executed her trust was before
the Court ; in London the infants were under the
• care of no person. The mialuit one which the
infants laboured under was, that there had been
a delegation from one person to another to take care
of them, for they never had a practical gdardrao. It
was not the titles of the Noble personages appoint-
ed by the Master to be guardians of the inthits
that would make them practically perform their
trust, besides the Noble Marquis mud int cotisoit
resided at Northampton and the infant, in London ;
and if the Master's report was cositirnod, the only
advantogetNey could receive was the name of In-
ing the Noble Marquis and Morellionees as their
guardians, as it was impossible they could receive
any other benefit.
Mr. CROSS followed on the saute side, and said
it was necessary for him to advert to the very pe-
culiar situation. the young ladies were placed 1,1.
It lied not been proved that tlitiroaputher wit% not
their real guardian, and if. she was aro, the Court
had no right to appoint a guardiassi brit lie ton-
tended that pending that inquiry, Mr,
the uncle of the infants, nor any retail% r f tit-in,
making an adverse claim to their estoter, had a
right to interfere in the appointment of a goer-
dian during the interval. The :Wafter first mp-
