I 'he case of Jackson's Petition against the 131.
Wcarplonch Bank, 'occupied the greiLter part
of tht morning.

WESTON V. JAY AND EAGLES.
This 'CAIISC cvs further proceeded in from Wee.
nesday. .MT. BELL olwcit at length on' the mass
Of eviderme which had been read to his Lordshiip
it indicated so strongly the state of mind of 'this
Gentieman,•,opon almost all occcasions, as to put
it, in his judgment, beyond the. possibility 'of
doubt, whether or not be wqrs.to be considered fr
person totally unfit for the Government of his
own affairs. Among Other things, 15e LetiiireirT—
Gentleman mentioned the fact of his Ita%-ing.lnen
known to take his set:villa away to Loudon with.;
out previous notice, after having,dressed himself
extravagantly fine, though on most other ocea-
siOns he was so it:different as to dress, his neigh- •
hours would remark on his appearance,, which
' was filthiness itself. He had purchased a bag
of outs on the road which were thrown- away*
After having sliewn his servant the curiosities
of L6ndon, he as suddenly returned, where he
became frequently a !aligning-stock for the boys
of the village. These, and many other extut•
vagancies; brought the question to • this point,
was or was not this Gentleman a fit and pro-
per pet-son for a Court of Equ,ty to tiirey,i/ its
dneld over I It would he f,r the otter side to
sheW that this was a shrewd 'und sagacious man,
one to whom might with safety be entrusted the
care of hiS own Property ;
.mitt if any or what'ser-
vices this defendant Jay had tendered him, so as
to snake the disposal of this property to hia, a vo-
luntary and uninfluenced act.' shoold not' •
tronble his Lordshilt further than to Lope thes.e
defendants, Eagles, 'might sliew they were not
leagues] together, it being in evidence, whedel et'
their names were mentionvd,- this Gentleman
would fly front the:siot and hide hiinself, acting
.13 it were from fear and trepidation. - ile prayed
the Motion, that these 11,eases might be given up
to he cancelled.

Mr. HART,-for Yr. Jav, contended for the fact,
of this Gentleman being of sane mind at the time
these lease:, were executed, upon which alone only
the case ‘vould stand or fall ; httcl his Lordstri,J
evidence to satisfy his ntiod that in this case, (here
-tva's that degree of the year "1606,
when the- evidence on his side, whicii was volu-
minous, was.adduced, it would be intend to be Hi.
Aveighty as that nu the part of (14:,-, plaintiff. The
were acts of eccentricity charged upon this Gen-
tlemati, he conceived, could not go bt.yond the
cccentricities many wei, who were not con-'
s,dered Innatie now.a days. Alunatic way sign•
a good deed, it it be at a lucid interval. 1 strati
order this evidence to be read to your ,i,ardship,
and trust to your. seeing grounds 'for refuSing this
motion.

They trere read to a great tpthiber, when Mr.
TROWER, fur the tielenthitit Eitgies, otkred ;,st

Loyibhip rose at halt r)it three.
