BALNBRIDGE V. BADDELEY.—JUDGMENT.
The MASTER 07 THE Rou gave judgment in this case to-
day, which was argued before his Lordship a short time since
upon a demurrer put in by the defendant to the plaintiff's
amended Bill. The Bill was filed for the purpose of obtain-
ing the direction of the Court for the trial of certain issues
flr the purpose of ascertair*lg whether the will of a t.,stator
nimed Bainbridge, which was made in 1818, was valid or
not, it being contended that the will was of no effect, inas-
much as the testator was insane at the time of making it.
To this Bill a demurrer was put in by the defendant, on the
ground of want of equity. His Lordship ordered the de-
murrer to be allowed.

LENDGREN LENDGREN.-TUDGMENT.

The MASTER Or THE Rotas gave jilgtni7; this case,
in which the question Ras whether certain legacies left by a
testatrix of the name of Standon were good or not, under the
circumstances, and if they were good whether they were to
be pair?out of the testatrix's general estate. It appeared
that the testatrix Mrs. Standon, being possessed of 1,0001.,
Three per Cent Consols, sold them out for the sum of 903/.,
which she handed to the plaintiff, upon the underst,ndiug
that he should pay her the same amount of interest (30/. a
year) as she had received from the stock. This was regularly
done up to the period of her death, shortly before which
she nude her will, leaviog a legacy to the plaintiff'
of 5001., and others of smaller amount to other per-
sons, all of %%hich she directed to be paid
out of the Three per Cent. stock. The testatrix having no
Three per Cent. stock at the time of her death, it was con-
tended that the legacy must fail.
The MASTER OF THE ROLLS was of a different opinion, and
directed the legacy to be paid out of the testatrix's general
estate.

ItYVEI V THE DUKE OF WELLTNGTON.--JUDOMENT.
The MASTER. OF TILE ROLLS also gave judgment in this case,
which was argued before him in his court at Westminster
son e time since. The case came before his Lordship upon a
demurrer put in by the detilidant, his Grace the Duke of
Wellington, as the surviving executor of his late Majesty
George the Fourth, to the bill filed by the plaintiff, the re
presentative of a natural daughter of the late Duke of Cum-
berland, brother of George the Third, claiming a legacy of
15,000/., left by the will of that monarch to Olive, the
(laughter of his brother, out of consideration for
her situation. George the Third died on the 29th
of January, 1820, without having revoked his will,
and George IV. possessed himself of his personal estate.
George IV. died on the 26th of June, 1830, and by his will he
appointed the Duke of Wellington and Sir William Knigh•
ton his executors. The legacy of 15,010/. not having been
paid, and Sir William Knighton having died, the plaintifl's
riled their bill against the Duke of Wellington, as the surviv-
ing executor of George IV., fur an account of the personal
estate of that monarch, of which he had possessed himself,

not cognisable in the Court, inasmuch as the will had never
been proved in the proper form. His Lordship was of
opinion that the demurrer was sustainable, and ordered it to
be allowed.—Demurrer allowed.
