COURT OF CHANCERY.-TuESDAT, APRIt 28;
?INFEST V. ORD.

At an early hour the Court was much crowded,by persona
anxious to hear the decision of the Lord Chancellor in this
interesting ease. His Lordship took Ins seat at about 10
o'clock, and addressed the Court to the following ettect -
" This matter first came before me, by a petition presented
on the 11th of the present month; and it is a material duct,.
short, being a petition sent by Mrs. Taylor, and supported by
n affidavit, which rendered it lily duty to make an order, ac.
cording to the common course of the Court, to restrain Lord
!Stewart from contracting matt bonny with larrly Frances Vane
Tempest. or having any further commuoication• with her
upon that subject until my further tinter. I narrlly disposed
of that petition by making such an order, when another pc-
titton was presented by Lady Frances, which petition prayed
au immediate reference to time Master to receive proposals
of a settlement upon a marriage, of which the approved.
The first petition having given me notice that one of the
guardians approved of the mars iage,andthat the other totally
disapproved of it, tiro order that I was to make upon
the t:ecoad pennon was obviously tor the attendance or it
parties. Soon after this a third petition was presented,
more in the regular course of business, from Lard Stewart
himself, praying that he might go before the master to eats.
hlish the fact that this v: mild be a tit and suitable marriage ;
and that in case the M ter was of opinion, that proposals of
settlementmight he lain before blur, and here I remark npon the
expression ot settlement,. because in considering the question,
whether it would be or not .intuitable marriage, it cannot be tho-
roughly investigated without attendance to the circumstance,
whether proposals could be made for a proper settlement. It
is due to the interest of the %%aril of the Court to give the
parties an opportunity to be heard, by directing a separate
report to be made by tl:e Master, to take the opinion of the
Court upon the propriety or imptopriety of the marriage, or
as to the justness of the Master's report as to that question.
"It appears that the ease before me is maw reduced
to two questions-Ist, whether Lord Stewart should have
what had been called in the course of the argument the
sisreal reference to the master. The second question
which it is my duty to determine, is, whether that order,
which has been prayed tor to restrain Lady Antrim from
any communication with her daughter, exceptiug in the
presence of Mrs. Kay, until the issue of the reference to the
Master shall be Loosen, shall he granted. I have thomght
it my deity upon this occasion to endeavour to ascertain what
has been the situation of the ward, and of the oature of the
go.n'dianship of those intrusted a ith the care alter, appointed
on the death of her father, which took place in August. 1813,
at the t' • this young lady was about 13 years of age."
Ills Lordship then referred to the Master's report of 1814,
settling a plan for the education of this young lady ; accord-
jog to which, she was not to reride with either of her guar-
dians, but to be placed under the care of Mrs. Kay, a lady
of the highest respectability—it was 101tMl!‘e settled, that
except to her guardians, Lady Antrim and Mrs. Taylor, she
should not be allowed to make any visits without their con-
ramtoor should she otherwise receive any. In const.quenee,
however, of repeated applications to the Court. the you rig
lady obtained pet mission for the benefit of her health. to ;to
forsoln, time to the sea side, where it appeared, according
to the atfolasit of Mrs. Taylor, that propositions of marriage
had b..en made to her it, the !ludic, of I Mit, with the Colic tur-
letite of her mother Lady Antrim, although in consevence
of her, Mts. Taylor's remonstrances, they were afterwards
broken IX. Not long after this traissaction an application was
tnatle to the Court, anal indeed it was high time an applica-
tion should be mode, to vary the plan of cdoeatiao wltieli had
tenor adopted; and it now appeared upon a report whirls the
