flay, a neighbouring surgeon, who signed the requisite cer-
tificate, and then Mr. Dixon was put into the asylum.
Mr. CHANDLER objected, before the facts appearing upon
the affidavits were gone into, that the certificates were not in
conformity to the schedule of the Act of Parliament, and
were therefore bad, inasmuch as they did not state that Dr.
Watson and Dr. Symonds were duly authorised to practire as
such physicians, and which, by the 43d section of the Act,
was required to be stated.
With respect to the alleged delusions, it was shown that
Mr. Dixon had been greatly annoyed respecting his late
brother's affairs, and from his nervous irritability and natural
hesitation in speaking, had often great difficulty in making
himself understood when much excited.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said the objection was entitled to
some weight and consideration, but he was of opinion the
most advisable course would be for both parties to consent
that two authorised physicians by the Court of Chancery
should visit Mr. Dixon, and examine him as to the state of
his mind-,- as without some such evidence he should not be
disposed to make any order.
Atter much argument and discussion, it was finally ordered
by the Learned Baron that Dr. Southey, the Lord Chancel-
lor's commissioner, and Dr. Alderson, should s-e all the
affidavits to be used, and see and examine Mr. Dixon, and
that the matter should stand over until they had made
their report, he, the Learned Baron, undertaking to see
thoss gentlemen upon the subject, and also to consider their
report and the affidavits, and apprise the parties of his de-
cision.

The case was then ordered to stand over, and the parties
withdrew.
