This was siSirepplient4Ort, callin on • the Lone 4
- CRANVIELOR ttPreviest the Report of the Master, bf
which he appeased of Glyn Wynne, Esq. as a fit
person to be Receiver and Manager of the .Estatke
belonging to the late.Loild Newlicirought during the
son's minority, of which fifteen. yeaft were gill teruia
Mr. HART, on the part of Mr. Maar*, who -hal,
been appointed Trustee along with Mr. Wynne, byt
the late Lord Newborough, supported this applicatiota:
Without insinuating any thing disrespectful to 1410
Wynne there were circumstances which made this
CAntleman not the very person, whom, in such a ease;'
that Cdurt would select as the receiver over 'a large:
estate. He was a Barrister, and he was a Metnitei
of Parliament, neither of which characters Were fa-
vourable to the exercise of such a trust, nor could
the Court have that contixsul over him, in the ratter
capacity, so far as his personal responsibility was don-
cern^,l as it must naturally wish to possess over its
own Officers.

Mr. Ricumene and Sir S. ROMILLY argued in sup-
port of the appointment made by the Master. It was
material that in a case like the present, where a great
family connection was to be maintained, that the re-
ceiver should be a person calculated from his influ-
ence in the country, to support a good understanding
between the landlord and the tenants. In this shut-
tion stood Mr. Wynne, while Mr. Mandre, on the other
hand, lived at a great distance, and could hardly be
known to any of the tenants.
Mr. HART, in answer, to a question from the Lord
Chancellor, agreed to wave any claim on the part of
Mr. Mandre, to be himself appointed Receiver.
The Loan CHANCELLOR then said, that it became
the Court ao be jealous how it appointed, as receivers
of the property of its wards, persons who from being
Members of Parliament, or from possessing any other
peculiar privilege, were, as to their personal responsi-
bility, above the reach of the process of the Court.—
With all the respect, therefore, which he felt for the
opinion of Lord Thurlow, who had declared, that the
Rtssort of a Master should, as little as possible, be
b-oken in upon, his Lordship had no hesitatioh in
srlding the matter back to the Master to review his
Report. • .

AUGUST Ig.--.-SEDUCTION.
IN 1112 MittN, A BANKRI7P7k
Among the bankr.irt ;.etitione this day, there wis
oga f n a Mr. John Muenford, praying that he might
be allowed to prove under the Commission of Bank-
ropey; certain notes to the amount of about 4001.
bfs. HALL, on the part of the Petitioner, stated the
following circumstances. The bankrupt had, before
his baukroptcy, seduced the daughter of the Peti-
,An action hall been brought in the :usual
manner foe " toss of service." In consequence of this
actioa• there had been a compromise, and it was in
virtue of this compromise that these notes had been
given. The Learned Counsel contended that this
was a good and valid consideration, and that the
bankrupt's estate had been benefited by it; as it was
supposed by all the parties, that greater damages
would have been given if the suit had been brought
to a trial. If it had come to a trial, there was no
doubt, but that whatever damages the Jury might
have given by their verdict, wo4ld, after judgment,
have been such. a debt as might have been proved
under the Commission of Bankruptcy. Under these'
ciicumitences, the petitioner conceived, that the notes
which were given SD stop the action might also have
been proved.
Mr. FONALANQUE contended on the other side, that
although the circumstances stated might have been
considered a good consideration against the drawer
of the-not-is, yet they. west not such a valid consider-
ation as could be proved befOre the Commissioners of
Bankruptcy. He quoted many cases of bonds, and
securities given as a premium ptidor4, in order to,
provide fur.the family of a woman who had been so
seduced. These-securities, although allowed to be
g od crnsider::tions as against the drawer, were not
allowed to be is tive..l under a Commission.
Mr. 1-1.1a,t, in reply, insisted, that the present case
differedwiatly from those which had been cited, as
the bankrupt's estate had, in the present case, been
benefited by 'compounding the action of damages
which the petitioner had against him.
The Loan CHANCSI.LOR said, that he saw a very
wide distinction between this case and those which
had been cited by Mr. FONSLANQOP., respecting what
had been called the premium pudoris. This was not
a voluntary provision for a woman with whom the
bankrupt had cohabited, bat it was a compromise of
damage% to v hich the bankrupt had conceived him-
self liable in an action. There was no suggestion
that this compromise Was fraudulent, or that it was
not a bona fide trattsactic.n. If after the action was
brought, the bankrupt had mitered judgmnt to go
by default, or had allowed upon the record, that any
cettain win was due to the Petitioner, he did not see
why the damages so confessed (provided always that
there was nothing fruudstlent in the compromise)
shoidd not, to all intents and purposes, be considered
a debt equally binding with a debt which should have
ken established by the verdict of a Jury. He saw no
rea..in why those notes should not be proved before
the Nnnissinners.
