OGDEN AND OTHERS V. TAYLOR AND SLATER.

Mr. HART applied on the part of the plaintiffs, who are the
residuary legatees under the will of the late Joshua Ogden, that
the defendants, who are appointed his executors, be restrained
from selling or otherwise disposing of the estate of the testator.—
The bill set forth that the testator had devised all his real estate
with the particular enjoyment of his household furniture to his
wife during her life or widowhood, and she was further permitted
to encumber the real estate with 3001. When the interest of the
wife determined the entire property was to go to the plaintiffs, and
the testator devised it in trust to the defendants, with directions
that they should dispose of it and hand over the proceedings of
the sale to the plaintiffs.—The plaintiffs now stated that
the defendants, who were iu very embarrassed circumstances,
were about to sell the property, although the plaintiffs (the only
persons claiming any interest in it) represented to them that it
could not now be advantageously disposed of. They distinctly add,
that the defendant (Taylor) is in great distress, and that Slater
was lately discharged under the Insolvent Act, and therefore sub-
mit to the Court that it would be unsafe to entrust the defendants
with the proceeds of the sale. The plaintiffs, however, were un-
able to say whether Mrs. Ogden, the wife of the testator, had
made any testamentary disposition as to the sum of 300/.
Mr. SHADWELL, for the defendants, said, this appeared to be
a mere attack on the characters of his clients.
Mr. HART—We don't attack their character ; we only say that
they are poor—there is nothing disgraceful in being poor.
Mr. SuAnwEit.—But we deny that we are poor. Taylor,
for instance, swears that he is now in more affluent circum-
stances, and he trusts not less honest or well-disposed than when
he was made executor ; and Slater denies that he ever took the
benefit of the Insolvent Act ; on the contrary, he succeeded in
arranging with his creditors, and is now going on very pros-
perously. They were both ready to act as the Court should
direct, but a difficulty presented itself, in consequence of Mrs.
Ogden's having made a will, of which the plaintiffs protested
their ignorance, otherwise they
would at once hand over the entire
property to them.
The Vica-CuascEl.r.oa inquired whether the plaintiffs were
prepared to pay the 300/. to the legatees under Mrs. Ogden's will.
Mr. HART replied that the defendants had received a large
amount of the testator's property,
without having as yet accounted
for it ; it was, therefore, very probable that they had funds in
their hands to meet that bequest.
It was after some discussion arranged that, for the purpose of
avoiding further litigation, the defendants should without delay,
'submit to an account and that in the mean time they should take
no steps towards disposing of the property,

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).
CORN-EXCHANGE.
The chief part of last week the weather was so very boisterous, that
the supplies-of all sorts of Grain were short; but towards the close, and
again this morning, there are fair fresh arrivals of Wheat, Barley,
Beans, and Pease, from Essex, Kent, and, Suffolk. The top price of
Flour remains unaltered, in spite of some strong attempts to advance it,
the Wheat trade has, in consequence, become extremely languid, and
the prices may be reported 2s. to 3s. per quarter lower than on this day
se'nnight. There is also a heavy trade for Barley to-day, and very little
exceeds 40s. per quarter for malting. Beans are more plentiful than of
late, and Is. per quarter cheaper. Wl.ite and Grey Pease, except for
seed, meet a slow sale at last quotations. There is not much trade for
Oats to-day, and the prices of this article remain unaltered. All sorts
of Spring Corn tit for Seed are scarce, and the prices of such considera-
bly exceed the annexed quotations.
