-.L,411 REPOT,

COURT OF CHANCERY,

THE CHILDREN OF THE LATE LORD BAIWIc NEW-

BOROUGFI.

•
Mr-HART moved the Court to dire& the INlaster
to review; his report in this• case, and that Glynn
Wynne,. Esq. should be discontinued as the re-
ceiver and the trustee of the estates of the present
Lord Newborough, and that Mr.. Mandre should
be appointed in his _stead. The Learned Counsel
stated, that this case had been, by the order of the
Court, referred to a-Master to report a proper Ter-,
son to be the receiver of the ,estates, and he had
reported that Mr. Glynn Wynne was a proper per,'
son... The late Lord Nfewbordtigh died on the 12th
of OEtober, 180.7, leaving large estates to his
dren ; by his will he had appointed- two executors,
Mr. Glynn Wynne and Mr. .I.‘fondre. There was
an application made to the Court to deter Mine Which
of the executors was the proper person to he en-
trusted as the 'receiver_ and trustee w the..estate.
The Master decided in faVour of Mr. Glynn Wynne.
Mr. HART contended that he was not a fit person ;
he was a praCtising Barrister in that Court, and he
was a Member of Parliament; there' was' very little
security that he, from his parliamentary and pro-,
fessional duties, would be able to attend the situation
ol'a receiver to such a vast estate ; and even if he
was, he did not conceive tha't the Court would wish
to see the Gentlemen at the Bar engaged as trustees
and receivers to the estates of Noblethen in their
minority. The present Lord- Newborhugh was
only six years of age, and there were fifteen' years of
his minority tO-cone. Mr. Glynn 'Wynne was 'not
A man of that opulence to entitle him to be entrusted
with so great a fund. He 'was a Member-a Parlia-
ment, and that made his - person safe , from the in- ,
fluence of the civil law. M. Mandre was a Gen-
tleman of independent fortune, net engaged ill pro-
fessional pursuits. He had- acted as receiver until'
the Master appointed Mr. Glynn Wynne. There
could not be any impropriety of conduct allegedi
against him ; while he was the receiver, he had act-
ed in the most fair and upright manner for the wel-
fare of the children and the estate; and he could
not possibly conceive what could have induced the ,
Mastecto remove him. There was no person who
had a higher respell for Mr. Glynn Wynne than lie
had, and he would be sorry any thing should escape
from his lips that could authorise any other suppo-
sition,; and he had not a doubt but ,Mr. Wynne
would acknowledge, that from his Parliamentary
and-professional duties, he was not calculated as a fit
person to do the dui;es of a receiver to those estates
during the 15 years- minority of Lord Newborough..
Under, those considerations, he trusted his Lordship
would order the Master to review his report, and
appoint. Mr. Mandre to be the receiver and trustee:
He hoped his Lordship would bear, in recolledion
the ages of the minors, and the great amount of. pro-
perty' that must !accumulate before they attained
their respeEtive ages of 21.
Mr. RICHARDS and Sir S.
,ROMILLY contended
that the Master had decided properly, as it was neces-
sary, in such a case, that the representative, as trustee
and receiver of such an estate, should be of the first
respedability and consequence. Mr. Glynn Wynne
was a relation of the family, and the most natural re-
presentative of it ; -and it was necessary -tor the re-
speotability of such a noble family, that its represen-
tative should be able to keep up that kind of respect
and influence that is so necessary between landford
and tenant ; they were not instructed to say any
thing against the respedability of Mr. Mande, but
from the great,,distance he, lived frordthe estates,
if. he was the representative of the estate, the tenants
would forget the noble 'family existed, and they
would lose that influence, in the country they were
so much entitled to. As to Mr. Hart's argument,
that Mr. Wynne being a Member of Parliament
'made him unfit for a receiver to an estate, it was
preposterous, for in that case a Member of the LigiS-
lature would be one of ,:he worst- situations ,of the
realm—it would,deprive-them of all the domestic
benefits that persons of every other description were
entitled to ; for instat4e, it an elder brother became
a lunatic, by Mr. Hart's dodtrine, a Member of Par-
liament could not be one of his commission. How
Mr. Wynne, beinga Barrister• of that Court, could
make him incapable or unfit. for the situation, they
were at a lossto know.• :They had hoped his pro-
fession, and his knowledge of the laws of his polio-,
try, would'have added to his capability.
,Viewing the
case as they: had, they did.conceive the Master . had'
• aCted.most wisely in his decision ; •and they trusted*
his Lordship would confirm .the Master's reportr7--,
Lord Thurlow had established a rule in that COO,-
:that a Master's report ought not to be altered with-
out there were very urgent reasons indeed. •

• Mr. HART rose to reply.
Lord azoN inquired, if he wished to contend that
Mr. Manche ought to be appointed as the receiver ?
Mr: HART said he waived that point; and only
wished the report to be sent back to the Master to
be reviewed.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, he had listen,-
ed to the'case with the greatest attention, and that he
paid a vast deal of deference to the arguments of Mr.
RICH.ARDS and Sir S. ROMILLY as to the necessity Of
the representative of this noble farnify being of the
most respedable kind ; and he could not 'help re-
marking, he felt it More forCible than
.the Testator
appeared to have done. There was no person had a
greater respt-at for the decisions of Loid,Thtirlow than.
he had ; yet he c'trld-not hold with him, that .I.llas-
ters' repOrts ought not to be revised, and in giving
the case the fullest consideration, he was of opinion
it should go b'ack to the Master to be reviewed;

A few days ago the Officers of a Regiment of
Light Dragoons, stationed at Deal; Made up a Sub-
set iptiout Purse of 100 guineat, to be run for on the
Downs by ten Officers' horses, each Gentleman be-
ing his Own rider. The Gentleman who was 'fore-
most at starting continued to increase his advantage
until he was about two horses lengths a head of the
second horse. The horse then stumbled, and the
Gentleman was thrown. Notwithstanding the nine
following horses passed over him, he did not receive
the slightest injury from any of theM. There were
several bye outcries, which affoKded a great deal of
sport ; and the evening concluded with a Ball given
by the Military Gentlemen to the , principal inhabi-
tants of Deal and its vicinity. •
