VICE-CHANCERY-SAT URDA Y.

WOODYATT V. GREISLEY.
When this motion was before the Court last Saturday, it
will be recollected his Honour directed the injunction
against Sir Roger Greisley to issue, restraining him from
receiving the rents of the estates limited to Lady Greisley
under a marriage settlement in 1796, and also her Lady-
ship's jointure. The object of the suit was to replace out
of this part of Lady Grei,sley's property a sum of South
Sea Stock of which Lady Greisley had fraudulently pro-
cured a transfer to herself. On the occasion of the injunc-
tion issuing, leave was given to Sir Roger Greisley to file an
affidavit before Wednesday last, to show that he was igno-
rant of the breach of trust his mother had committed at
the time that he advanced her a sum of 5,0001. to obtain
her liberation from the King's Bench, and took in return
the conveyance in question of her life interest under the set-
tlement of 1796.

Sir CHARLES WETHERELL now read an affidavit, in
Which Sir Roger Greisley swore that neither be nor his
attorney, solicitor, or agent, to his belief, knew, or was in-
formed, or suspected, or had reason to believe, at the time
his mother had executed to him the indenture of June,
1830, under which he now claimed, that she had obtained
possession of the stock, although her life interest in it was
not included in the indenture.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR-It was only necessary to look
at the statements he had made to see it was a matter of
course the injunction should go.
Mr. BIRD, for Lady Greisley, requested that there might
be a qualification of the order, so as to afford Lady Greis-
ley the means of immediate subsistence. He proposed the
receiver should per her .500/. a year out of the rents, and
that her life should be insured as a security.
His HONOUR had already made the order for a receiver,
and it with regard to what should be cherished between
grandmother and grandchildren any other allowance could
be made the Court would willingly lend its sanction to any
conciliatory arrangement made out of Court.

INSOLVENT COURT-SATURDAY.

Frederick Jaye:, an unopposed insolvent, applied to be
discharged. He had been a stage-coach proprietor, and had
been discharged under the Act about five years ago. His
present debts, notwithstanding his wife has 4001. a year,
amounted to a large sum. He had lately visited Jersey for
his amusement. He had no children.

Mr. Commissioner LAW did not see what right a man
had to take his pleasure at the expense of his creditors ;
nor could he see that a person whose wife had 4001. a year
had any right to take the benefit of the Act. This Was
not a fit case for the discretionary clause, and therefore the
Court sentenced him to four months' imprisonment.
Joseph Edwards, late a clerk in the Pipe-office, was op-
posed by two creditors, named Black and Foxon. He had a
pension of 1441. a-year from the Pipe-office, which had been
lately abolished. His debts were upwards of 2,2001. He
was opposed on the ground that he incurred his debts with-
out any reasonable prospect of being able to pay them.
Mr. Commissioner LAW said that a man who had in-
curred such an amount of debts must experience' the incon-
venience of paying them by degrees. The Court recom-
mended to the Treasury that 30/. a-year be set aside for his
creditors.
