LAW INTELLIGENCE
CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY.?
The LORD CLINCELLOR, on taking his seat
morning, intimated to the gentlemen of the Bar, that
it was his intention to take the unopposed Lunatic Peti-
tions the first thing to-morrow morning.
EXPARTE THE MASTER, &C. OF CATHERINE nALti
CAMBRIDGE.
This case came before his Lordship upon the petition
of the Master and Fellovt s of Catherine Hall in the Cili.
versity of Cambridge, praying his Lordship to correct
several rules that had been laid down by a Mrs. hams"
den for the regulation of the Ramsden Fellowship. Fr°lll
the statement of the petition, it appeared that Mrs. Jot
Ramsden, in the year 1743, by her will left certain pro rro:
perty to the College, for the purpose of founding
Fellowships, the management of which was to be accord- ;ti
itt
ing to certain rules and regulations which she had lierse
f re
drawn up. The 3:3d rule provided that in case any erre: I/
of mistake should arise with reference to any of th
rules and regulations that an application should be made ; •
ftit
to the Lord Chancellor or the Lord K was eeper, and he 3s,
to
make such order as in his wisdom he should think lit; ,-i
Under that provision the present petition was presen4lba:
praying for an alteration or correction of several of.tlrs9A
rules drawn up by Mrs. Ramsden. By the sth rule it li'els•."4
provided that the perscns competent to be elected to the' ,il4
Fellowship should be either Bachelors of Arts, complete
Masters of Arts, or Bachelors of Law or Physic!. but'
they were not to be more than twenty-four years of an ~5
That provision, according to the present period of rating
men at college completely excluded all pets();
from obtaining the Fellowship except the Bachelors i
Arts, and the petitioners, therefore, lirayed that
Lordship would, under the provisions of the rule Vol
him power to correct any of the regulations df 1t
by Mrs. Ramsdell, extend the age for the admission `;
Fellows to twenty. eight instead of twenty-four YO l c rs:r, r;
Then by the 11th rule it was provided, that within 1
days of a notice of a vacany in one of the Fellowshil,lo
the College was to give notice of the election of a in; 1('
Fellow, but that election was not to take place .
of •`lt
expiration of twenty four days, but at the latter els ko
the rule it was stated that the election was to t 6 i$
place on the 3d Tuesday after the notice. That rule„.,
was found impossible to carry into effect, and the P_d
tioners therefbre asked that the time might be incree;i.
to four months from the vacancy. There were two °t
of the rules that also 'Nuked alteration. Mrs. Bain.!a,
den in founding the Fellowship, had given the rents °al,
profits of the estate to the foundation, but she iisa.iot,
rented that in the interval between a vacancy and elo, ,
of a Fellow the rent should go to the College stozk.
it was proposed by the pet; tioners that the new Feh()%d
instead of taking the rents and profits from the detc.he
their election, should take them from the date of
vacancy, the College giving iep all claim. oif f
Mr. BARBER and Mr. HILY.4.RD appeared on behalf
the petition, which was not opposed. er °f
The LORD CHANCELLOR granted the whole pOl ,•ht
the petition with the exception ot. that part which soap.
to extend the ago of persons comp 'tent to becolne the
lows from 24 to 28. His Lordship observed that "'sus ;
petition was not opposed, it became to be cant:o3°,o
he should therefore take time to cons.kler his jucl,
on
The that point.
Court then proceeded with the heating of It'elltie
petitions.
