LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CH.A.NCERY, JULY 21..

ALLEN V. GWYNNE.
. Nt; flcittwr addressed the Court on behalf of ,the,defferx,
ant. The transaction between John Laughaine Allen ,1/
David Alien had been bona fide ; the considerationtopllePqa.
said not.to have been paid ; but the Learned Counsel pro:1104::
various ret.,',eints and documents to the full amounv.of 01 'red,
The deed of confirmation, which had strangely been re_,,fsl:4e
to as an evidence of fraud,'
really proved the contrary: .I'"',„`-;
tempt
.wasartade by the father to recover the estate, poi waf,S2
question raised till 1806, when Mr. Gwynne had been for
time in posses4ion. But, whatever might be the charS:ebe., k.
the original transaction, Mr. Gwynne had no concern witil`.o.
sale of the estate by father to son in 17132 ; .the former,
been disposed, did not want the means or inclination, iOl3-ta
need to law, as he threw his -son into prison under ti:prnee"
obtain a fictitious claim of 2,0001., where he died. The
charge against the defendant was, that he was the deviiie
David .Allen's will. The fact might .be open 944'
vation ; but it was not a violation of any law. The Will-Wria
said to be unnatural ; but it merely excluded, an aiplli,t4 ke
father, and brothers who acted in concert with 'him.
=bill in this suit consisted for-the most part of.fictions,4-'wo{.-
was not the least evidence of unfair dealing, • much lees ,of
fraud, against Mr. Gwynne. As to his talting:advant%oA'

was unconnected with the will, and if it was, the oil' iff
no fraud.. In fact, the fine was employed to pert

.defetattnt4l'.title previous to his marriage, for
.the,
settlement, not to consummate a fraud. The Learned.

Mr. HEALD contended, on,the part of the Pl4a y 'Ol
it would be great hardship upon his client t0pa,.4,09;
which had been occasioned by thefraudulent cond%napief,
