CRIDLAYD V. JEFFERY.

Upon application, some time ago, to the Lord OW
cellor, is his private room, the another of the plaintiff` is
this cause, who was am infant, was appointed his best
friend, fur the purpose of guarding his rights and watchilig
his interests in this suit.
Mr. KNIGHT this morning applied to theViee-ChaneslW
for the appointment of some other person iu her room, °9.,
the ground that the interests of the other were dirert,u
at variance with those of the infant,—as it was her intr
rest, and no doubt intention, to obtain as large an alloy'
ance for maintenance as possible for herself and b‘r
younger children, and she also claiming to be entitled to
jointure under the grandfather's will. The bill was ori"
ginally filed for the purpose of making the infant plain-
tiff (who was about to enter into an improvident n 351."
riage) a ward of the Court. A receiver was also
asked upon the estates in the west of England, srli'll
the plaintiff was entitled to under his grandfather's u'.'
Mr. Knight, in making the application, observed that tO
this, like most family disputes, there was a good deal of
crimination and recrimination in the affidavits. It teat
not, however, his intention to enter at all into those aft'
davits unless forced to do so by the Counsel on the other
side. He intended to confine himself entirely to the siv
gularity of the question now before the Court.
Sir C. WE fixaxm. wished it to be understood that be
did not consider his learned friend (Mr. Knight) eatitlea
to credit for his apparent forbearance. He wished the
affidavits to be fully gone into, and if they were,
Knight might depend upon it he should make an applica-
tion for the purpose of having them taken off the file for
scandal and impertinence.
Mr. KNIGHT lamented that his attempts to make poe's
between the different members of the family should brf•
the appearance of being frustrated. He should proceed
lie had originally intended. The Learised Counsel thessi
went at considerable length into the rule of the Court, 01
to the appointment of guardians sad next friends.
The Vicx•CtiaNcxr-Loa wished to know the age °I
the infant ?

Mr. KNIG7LT believed he would attain hie majority 10
retie than a year.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought it would be best for
all parties to let matters remain as they were till 0°
separation of the minority of the plaintiff, and the Master
would take care of the plaintiff's interest in the mean time'
The kindest thing for all parties would be for the Court
to make no order at all, provided the parties would under'
take not to dismiss the bill for want of prosecution. ,
Mr. Kwiatrr, after this intimation, would not press
motion further, and thus the matter rests.
