vouchers which could ascertain and estab!ish the de.

difficult, if not air giber impassible, fur the Defend-
ant, by thstind and positift prnof, to repel every
charge, to retneve every ebjeetinn, and to answer
every injurious observation that had been made by
the Learned C ,unsel on the o. her side, But not with.
standing these allegationt, he thought he should be
able to 'spew his Lordshirgr, that there was no ground
to impute frilled to this Gentleman ; and, he trusted
he should be able to shew the Plaintiff was not
entitled to the relief which she prayed by. her
bill. And his Lirdship could not come to a
decision that was inconsistent with the princi—
ples that governed the proceedings of that Court,
and by which the property and charaaers of parties
could be. proteded. This case had been opened
,With very great perspicuity, and with all the advan.
tage of eloquence and impressive language. But he
could not help thinking topic's had been entered into
in this cause, which did not belong to it ; and prin.
ciples, entertained, which did not apply to it. He
thought theri could •be no dispute, bat that the
money was paid. He conceived the evidence of
Miss Margaret Purcell, and that of another person,
was decisive upon that point. Be was very sure the
f-,6t of the money being advanced by the Defendant,
could nor be disputed. The Plaintiff's Cou.,sel had
controverted that be}, and
,had insisted that this
money'was not raid ; arid the Plaintiffand her sister
ought not to hate been parties ;, that they ought_
not to have pletlAed their interest for a debt princi-
pally contracted by their brother, John Purcell ;
and that Mr. Meenamata, the. Trustee, ought met to
have permitted it to be done ;. and .that he could not
transad blisineis with them in that charafter. Mr.
Sooct cox GENERAL here entered into the dif.

great talents and vast learning to this ease, and con-
tended, the great question in the cause-wA, whether
the parties to these Deeds understood what they did
. at the time of their execution

The arguments of Counsel being finished, and all
the evidence read on both sides, the case stood over
till this morningoehen the Loan CHANCELLOR,
in a speech of three hours, delivered the Judgment
of the Court. His Lordship, after stating with the
greatest perspicuity the relation in which these par..
ties stood to each other, enteted into a- must minute
and particular consideration of each of the Deeds in
question, and taking them in the order in which •
they were executed, stated, with his very great
ability, the nature and effect of each Deed, and•the
interests of the parties, particularly of the Put&lls,
,at the time each Deed was executed. His Lordship,:
after the best consideration he. could give this case,
was clearly of opinion that the Deeds in question
must be set aside, and that lhe accounts could net
he con,idered as settled.- Mr. MAN,FtEt.D had said,
in the argument, the great question in the cau-se
was, whether the parties understood the instru.
ments they had executed. His Lordship said, the
Contents of those instruments proved •to his entire
satisfaCtion the parties did not understand them,
and he wanted no other evidence of that. His Lord—
Ship observed; that the Purcell family seemed to
