HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.

LINCOLN'S-INN, APRIL 4.
GUARDIANSHIP.

THE Petition of the Countess of ILCUrSTER tti
be adutitted the Guardian of her infant Children, the
EArl having died in November last,' came on' to be
heard this day. It set forth, that in' the year 1778,
the deceased Earl, under the authority of a statute
pasSed in, the reign of Charles II: made a Will,- ap-
pointing the guardianship of his children, in case of
his demfse, to his then Countess, and his brother,
now Colonel STRANGEWAYS. His Countess, how.

ever, dying a short time afterwards, he affixed a
Codicil CO his Will, supplying his wife's place by
that of his sister, retaining his brother as joint
guardian. In-the year 1784, he married the present
Countess; mild on the Bth of December, Igor, he
affixed a fresh Codicil to his original Will,- and
made the Countess.solcGuardian of his infant family.;
by virtue of which she now claimed the sukrinten-
dance of all matters relating. to her four children,
the oldest of whom was only fourteen years of age,
nd the youngest an infant, born since the Earl's
death.

The Csiistzetttolt 'acquiesced k the legal pro.
position, that if a man mapried, having previously
made a will, and should die without cancelling it,
leaving'no issue by such marriage, the Will would
have its full operation, to the exclusion of his wife.
We remembered a case of extreme hardship, which
was iii point : an individual had made a Will in fa-
vour of a prostitute,' and had afterwards married a

lady of great fortune : the Will, however, was not
cancelled, and the party dying wiiboUt issue, the
prostitute sweptaway the wife's fortune. A like case
happened to Col. Watson, who made his Will in
favour of a natural daughter, but going to -India

some time afterwards,. he married a-LactY of great
wealth. On his return consulted a military
*end, who agreed with him in opinion,- that the
*end,
would, under all circumstances, give a wife
her thirds, and in that opinion he rested and
died, when the natural daughter recovered the
whole of that money which had forMerly been
the wiles property. With -respea to the clues
-
lion before hlm, he had not the smallest hest.
tioion in pronouncing " that the Earl's Will war
not revoked by his second marriage; and as to
the qUestion—whether the Earl's intention, implied
by the Codicil of I Sol, had been rendered incom,
plete, by the want of two witnesses---that would
depend upon two points ; first, as it was neces-
sary-that a deed should be witnessed by two persons,
in order to make it effeaive, and to take it out of
the Statute of Frauds, whether the instrument re:.
yoking such deed did not also require the same for.
malities ? and secondly, whether it was to be c6n-
sidered as falling within another class or description
of writings which the Statute says shall operate as a
revocation, though it be not attested ? •

The point ,at issue was a very important one, as it
involved a very considerable property ; and as his
Hon. and Learned coadjutors wished to weigh the
point before he decided, he should take time to con_
cuter of it.
