r A ATP, ilfi.,4LltT, IN Tlf INIATTEIt OF BET.r.,,

A LUNAT IC.

Mr.. PICOT stated, that this was the Petition of I
Mr. Ijilbert, .who, is the Committee of the Lunatic,
and prays, that so much batik annuity, standing in
the .name of the Lunatic, as -would make up the
stun of -1,6001, .shonld be sold out, for the purpose
of satisfying the debts which had been incurred by
inclosing taut improving ihe estate of the Lunatic.
;The Learned .Gentleman stated, as the ground of
the Petition, that the 'Lunatic was se:sed
,of an estate
in Yorkshire, of the yearly value Qt.. 5,001. and up-
wards ; . and that, under an Aa of Parliament, it was
thought expedient by the, committee to inclose a
part of the estate of. the Lunatic. Thi work,being
commenced, a
,motion wa3 rtr;de to the .Court.for
money to carry it on 5 and it was., r,:2;erred to the
'ALister to inquire, ;whether it, would be for the be-
nefit of the Lunatic ? • pnd also to inquire how
much, was necessary.? To 'this the Master report-
ed, that, from the e‘ience laid betbre him, it was
for the benefit of the Lunatic and that a Sum of
40001. ;wa.; necessary. An order was made
'iie on this, and the money was •:received out of
the Bank. The present application was, that a fur-
ther suns Qf, .be advanced out 'of the
finid.belonging to the fAirptic in the klank,for .the
purpose of paying off debts, which had 'been in-
curred in inelosing part of ,the estate, the first sum
.being Ibund to be, inadequate.
'The Loan CiIit,NCELI.OII, who had been looking
into the papers relative toilkeestate;of the lunatic,
asked how the Court could charge; the Lunatic with
this money for inclesures, when he was.but tenant
for life? • .

I\ll-..,1'1G0T said,, the Committee was one of ihe,
remainder men, and the other remainder man, he
tnicierntood, was to
.consent.

The LOtto Cu.A.XcELLon, on perusing the former
order, said„ he did not see how the Court could
have made it, and he could not, by any means,
make this. lie would wish to know how it could
he imagined that the expenditure of 4,6001. would
be for the benefit. of the tenant tbr. life, Or how the
Court could take on itself to pay it, out- of his pro-
perty, or to charge it upon the remainder men.
Mr. 13400 T still .urged, that the remainder men
would willingly consent. • ,
The Loup CnAsTaid4oll said, the Court and the
.Ma to were altogothr wrong when the former
order was made. He believed there never. was an
instance until within these few years that a Commit-
tee. was allowed any money he laid out without the
:previous consent of the Court; and he was sorry
that there should be any such.precedetit to be re-
erred to.

M; PIC;GT, said, it was a very bard case on the
Conunittee, who had either advanced the money, or
were responsible for it.
The Loan CRAtICFMT.OR said, be could not help
that; if the Lunatic was in his senses, he might choose
by' a life estate, with
.0 fed simple estate; but he
could not do it for him, Mr. PCGOT would
the trouble to look back into the order, he would see
there was nothing to, justify the expenditure. Lie
could not, nor would not allow it; lia might, if he
pleased, make another application.
