money; and as part of her estates were mortgaged, be
was willitift to allow a certain protein' of the unru.une Of
her estates to form • sinking fund to pat off the encion•

him a statement of farts as objections to the marriage :
That Lord Stewart was forty pros of nee, and the infant
only eighteen : That his dietician was not such as waist.:
culture the Infant happiness in the marriage state, as be
was a man of dissipated and irregular habits: That there
was insanity In the family, hat will t mentioning one
of the family that was or bad been sir 'Aimed ; situ
that she hail received this information from • sourer
which could 111/1 lie doubted, but that she could not doe-
s-Mae from wl she had received the information, as
she had given her promise not to make the names puh•
lie; and that according to the COIIIIIII4 I.r the Countess
of Antrim on • roamer marriage aileron for the infant, she
had reason to suppose this was a similar transaction. This
lather ohjection the Master put entirely out aids considera-
tion, by reporting, that whatever was the conduct of the
Countess of Antrim on a formr r mess' tttt , it was quite
irrelevant to th• conduct of Lord Stewart in this business.
The learned C.ouneel ohuierved, that his Loniellip would

Loot Stewart's introducti tttt to 11w infant, mud Ilse way her

Mr.. Taylor hail made an affidavit, getting forth that shehnd
inetrueted her indicator to emit! as agent to Inquire into the
character of lord Stewart and his family in Ireland, and
that he bail .not uncle that country, and had received a
letter from Lim that lit had obtahied sonic most useful in-
formation. On the '23J of May, Mrs Taylor made another

which the Master reports, that he saggested to Mrs. Taylor's

persons that Mrs. T. might think proper 11/ have them direct-
ed to, but no notice was taken of the suggestion. Ors the 30th

art's. had loins afflicted with iussuity. But the Master
has reported. that lie did nut think this • sufficient
reason to prevent the marriage. He then reports as to
the disparagement of age, although it might tun be in Ilse
favour of lord Stewart, and would strengthen the other othi
jerti ,if any of them had been substantiated. And when
he took int i his cousidesation the cirrumatanre that part of
the infant's foriatie consiond of collieries, he was of opinion
that the mature age of Lord Stewart, and his tieing of sound
mind and is attired understanding, must be an *donut:age as
to the nsauagemerit of these collieries. As to the charge of
Lord Stewart being of dissipated and irregular habits, it
was unsiopported by say other evidence than that of the
affidavit of Mrs. Taylor, also had orfarmaiiun fruus persona
who refused to mono. forward. Aud he, the Master,
supposed, from the high tad conspicuous public pita,-
lions that be had held fur several years. if lie was ad-
dicted to these habits, it would be easy to get people to
speak of them. Ile. Sir Samuel, hardly understood what this
*ammonium of the Mastro'. oriental; you'd he suppose that
if a young mass had been is, • place of dreadful dissipation
with Lord Stewart, and that he made an affidavit to that
fact, that he ever could hold up his head again in society?
The Master then imported as to Lord Stewart being a
widower. that he thonglit it was more a reciammendattua
than otherwise, and that be did nut think bur baying • son
by his first marriage any objection, although it entitled him
to the life interest in expectancy to the family 1111111101. That
he did nut think laird Stewart's want of fortune any dis-
paragement, as his rook in life was Iquivaletit to the isifant's
fortune, sod that her fortune was aufficietal to provaile fur
the issue artist wood marriage; and that lie teas alsu induced
to tome to this conclusion, as Ilse Counsel', of Antolini the
mother of the infant, and one of her testamentary guardiatis,
approved of the marriage. Sir Samuel Hominy then
stated, upon this report the question ratio. berme his Lord-
ship ; be could not think that the Mast. r 1113.1teldtd as was
