LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 19.

COUNTESS BERGHTOLDT P. THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD. I
In this case it appeared that Francis Charles, late Marquis
of Hertford K.G., by his will appointed Lord Lowther, John
Wilson Croker, Edmund Hopkinson, and others, executors of
his will, and by a codicil, dated the 10th of January, 1834, ho
gave to Lord Lowther, Sir Edmund Antrobus, and Edward
Marjoribanks, 10,0001., over and alive legacy tax, in trust to
be laid out for the sole benefit of his ward Matilda Strachan,
then Countess Berchtoldt, in the same manner, or as near as
might be, to the 16,0001. he had secured on his estates at
Birmingham, for the benefit of Charlotte, Countess de Zichy
Ferraris. Upon the decease of the testator it was ascer-
tained, that he had, by a deed dated the 19th of October, 18:33,
after reciting that he was guardian, and that he was desirous
of making a provision for Charlotte Leopoldina Countess de
Zichy Ferraris and her issue, and in case they should fail, for
Louisa Sarah Countess Saint Antimo and her issue, he gave a
rent-charge of 4001., charged on his estates at Birmingham, to
Lord Lowther and Sir Coutts Trotter upon trust for himself
until the Countess de Zichy should attain' 1, and then to pay the
proceeds to her for life fir her separate use, and after her
decease upon trust for her children as she should appoint,
and in default of appointment for her children equally, and in
default of any upon trust for Louisa Sarah Countess de St. An-
timo and her children is the same way, and upon failure of
those limitations upon trust for the Marquis of Hertford him-
self. The deed also contained a declaration that the rent-
charge might be redeemed on payment of a sum of 10,0001.
which was also to be laid out in the purchase of land. It also
contained a power authorising Charlotte L. Countess de Zichy
to give a life interest in the property to her husband. Lord
Lowther, Sir Edmund Antrobus, and Edward Marjoribanks
declined to act as the trustees of the 10,0001. bequeathed by
the codicil to the Countess Berchtoldt; and as there was con-
siderable doubt as to the intention of the testator the present
bill was filed.
Mr. BuRGE (with whom was Mr. TRIPP) insisted that the
intention of the testator was that the funds should be settled in
the same way as the money to be raised by the redemption of
the rent-charge of 400/., and particularly that the Countess
was entitled to have powers inserted in the settlement to be
made to appoint the fund among her children, and also to give
a life interest to her husband.
Mr. Goßnost appeared for the children of the Countess
Berchtoldt, and contended that the settlement ought to be ex-
tended to them.
Mr. StsirsoN, for Count Berchtoldt, would be satisfied if the
fund was given to the Countess absolutely, but at any rate she
Ava 3 entitled to a power of appointment in favour of her husband.
Mr. KINDERSLEY (with whom was Mr. Sehomberg)eon-
tended that the fund was given to the Countess for her sole
benefit for life, and as no other limitations were attached to
it,
he defendaat was entitled t 9 the reversion.
