THE. CRYLDREN OF THE LATE BARON DE ARABET.

. ,
There were two Potitious-;in-, this' case., One of
Mr. De Con'Stahl, praying the Court to confitn the-
ft;port of Ile 'Master;' appointnig him guardian of
Btrun De Arat;et 'and his' they heinginfants ;
the other:of Mr. Longdon,• praying, that the Mas-
ter's report. might be set', aside, and that he 'might
beappointed 2,,,lardian, as be was the E.Xectitor and
Trustee to the yV ill of the late Baron IJe Ai-abet.
Mr., HART, Counsel for Mr. Liongdoc,, stated,
that Longdon,iat. furteen-years of 4ge, was bOund
apprentice to a reipeaable. merchant in,tfirs•cits—
that he was sent rby•his master to tie housed W-
ant De Arabet, who was • Swedish resident, and an
extensive merchant, at Alicant,.in Svain..:,Longclon
remained with him as clerk for twenty yeats, at the

exhiration.-,ot which, 't he: Baron -took as a part
Der, allowing him- one-sixth of the profits; after-
which he took also his .nephew,, Peter Thomas
Aratket, into partnership,-, allowing Ina Lone-twelfth
pi the profit:4, without interfering in the -Share of
j,..ongdon.._ There. was ,no dced of ,partnership be;
twe4-u-lhem,, but the' business was carried:on with
the greatest harmony, until 1798, when the 'Baron
died) leaying.a will appointing his two, partners,
Lougclon.and,l'eter Thomas De Arabet,
tors, and his twice, guardian ; giving the,tnost,posi-
five direaions t:144t,, his", children should have the

Died herirbin'Alicanf, and delivered liet to
don. ke, had her froarthat time at the best board-
ing schools, except in vacation; or indisposition,
when she tegrdEir-at , his house at, Vauxhall.—
Inlanuarylast, he took her from school, ei. her own
request, and she has been sir 6 under e„re
tf
Mrs. Longdon, where the best O;:isttitt•-;%/ers
vided for her; she is now t 6
.years of age; her
brother, the present Baron; came to 'this country
tl.e latter end of last year, aid put under
the protection of,Mr. Charles ,De Constant, who, in
February lasi, de-elaring himself the nearest'ot kin to
the children, filed his, bill against-Mr. Longdon, and
Peter Thomas De Arabet, to account for the pro-
perty of the minors; Longdon had: put his answer
in. In June last, De Constant petitioned the Court
that hemight beappointed guardian to t hem. llis Lord-
ship ordered it to be sent to the Master, and for him
to report who was the proper guardian; and he re-
ported, that, after having given the case his fullest
consideration, he was of opinion, that Mr. De Con-
stant was, and he was confirmed in that opinion by
Mr. Longdon having been guilty of a breach of the
trust seposed in him as Executor. The Learned
Counsel then observed,. that Mr.. Longdon did
not insist on being appointed the guardian of
Baron De Arabet; he was 20 years of age,
and had, signified' his desire of having Mr. De
Constant for his 'guardian ; but it was quite dif-
fetent with .his' sister, who ' dreaded nothing so
much as to be removed from under the care of Mr.
and Mrs. Longdon, whom she considered as her
parents, having been accustomed to them from
her infancy. It was singular, that during four
years she had been in London, they never hadin-
qtiired after her. Mr. Longdon had sworn, during
the twenty years he had been acquainted with the
late Baron, that he never had mentioned that be
had such a relation as Mr. De Constant. There
was no fraud or breach of trust committed by Mr.
Longdon ; he had answered the bill, <i he was not
ready or situated to account, as his.documents were
at Alicant ;" 'but when this case came to he h.card, ft •
would be found that he had performed the trust and
confidence reposed in him by the testator,
were indeed great. If his Lordship eitarnined the
will, he would see it was the intention of the tes-
tator, in case the children were deprived of, their
mother, that the Executors should be the guar-
dians; although it was not expressed so ; but 'he pro-
vides fur it, in case she again entered into wedlock.
He hoped his Lordship would' pay the attention
that was due to the feelings of this young lady, and
not allow her to be torn from the arms and protec-,,
tion of those she considered as her parents. It was
not unusual, in cases like the present, for, the
Court to converse with the minors, to know from
themselves what were their feelings. He was di
reeled to say Miss De Arabet was in Court-for that
purpose. He requested his Lordship would grant
this interview ; he would then know what she felt
at the idea of such a separation. He could judge-
of *the care that had, been taken of her 'education
and morals. He begged he would converse with
her as if she was, his own child, and to determine
as if he were her father, and he should not be
afraid of the result. Although there had been but
one affidavit in support of the respeEtability and
moral character of Mr. De Constant, yet he
drew no inference 'from it, as he believed it to be
truly respeaable 3. and he was t onfident there was
not any thing could be said against the religious
and moral charaCter of Mr. Longdon; there were a
