COURT OF CHANCERY. AUGUNT 2.
wwirai.ocit v. SYDENHAM •ND OTHERS.

This was a quettion of a peculiarly inter-fling
defecipion. The Bill was opened by Mr. PLow.
new, and Rated the Plaintiff, who fued its firma par-
perit, had filed it with a view to the recovery of his
patrimony, confuting of eßates to a very confider
aide amount, upwards of 14.0001. a year, unjuitir
withheld from him by the Defendant Sydenham, Mr.
alicourt, Mr. Burnell, John Fownes Lutterell, Efq.
Sir Philip Hales, and feveral other perfons. The •
fags alledged in the -bi:l were briefly thefe : John
Whitelock, the ancettor of the Plaintiff, was parer-
fed of freehold eftates in the counties of Soinetfet and
Avon, which were entailed on his male defcendants.
died in the year i 65 1, and the climes defcended
in a regular courfe of inheritance. The lad of the
family in poffeffion, in the direft male line died in
the year 1712, without Wire, and the Plaintiff's great
grand father, being the next heir, was entitled to
take poffeffion ; but he dying about the 'fame time.
left his widow encrust, and the had a vlihummis
child, who was the prefent Plaintiff's father, and the
died herfelf in child bed. While the Plaintiff's fa-
ther was an infant orphan, the Defendant's anceflor,
. who was a Reward to the family, married one of the
daughters of Whitelock, and by that means ac-
squired the catiody and guardianship of the Plaintiff's
&her. It was-Rated, that inftead of ;Laing in con.

dip, he availed himfelf of it• to get the ellates into
biaown bands, and took every precaution to con-
ceal from .the infant the knowledge of his birth and
pretenfions. To ices his purpole, he placed him
milder the care of .a perfoh of the name of Widlake,
and had him conftantly called by' that name, intlead
of iris paternal one. The youth was nit to fchool to

ard, was alledged to have obtained deed* and levied
lines for the purpofe of defeating the inheritance of
the rightful heir, and at his death left the property to
e prefent Defendant. The Plaintiff's father attain-
ed his age of 21 in the year 1737, but was never able
to profecute his claim. It was further flared, that the
Defendant had fold part of the Oates to Burnell, Sir
John Luttrell, and the other Defendants, who were
charged by the bill with full knowledge of the fraud,
and a participation in the confederacy to rob the
)Plaintiff of his birth right. Such was the outline of
the allegation in the bill, which concluded by pray-
ing that the Defendants might by way of abltrad,
and with as much brevity as poffible, Phew their titles
to their poffeffions, and leave their title deeds in the
hands of the Mailer, for the
oinfpeCtion of the Plain-
tiff, his Connie!. and agents. The Bill alfo prayed
general relief,founding the Plaintiff's claim to it upon
the fuggellion that as Sydenham, the father of the
,Defendant, had wrongfully obtained poffeffion during
att. minority of the Plaintiff's father; he was as weft
as the Defendants a trultee for the right heir. This
was a neceffary allegation to give the Court jurifdic-
don. There was a gereral demurrer to the bill by
the Defendants, on the ground that the Plaintiff was
not entitled to relief in equity.
Mr. Iticuaans and Mr. Haar fupported the de-
murrer principally on the ground that the mere call-
ing the Defendant a trußce did not conflitute that
chara&r. The queftion had upon a former occafion
been before the Court upon a demurrer, which had
been allowed, and the prefent bill only differed from
the latt in 'omitting lime parts of it. He therefore
contended that the Bill in its prefent Ihipe was equally'
exceptionable for the extraneous matter it contained.
and that the judgment of the Court ought to be limi-
lar to what it had before been.
The Armen EY Gas ER/IL, who. with Mr. RoMILLY
and Mr. Pxowosw, had been aligned by the Court as
Counfel for the Plaintiff, in/Med that the Defendants
were bound to anfwer the Bill, becaufe the Defen-
dant's father h eying taken poffeffionofthe ethics, while
the Plaintiff's father was a minor, he was to all in-
' tents and purpofes a truftee. The bare fad of appro-
priating the property of an infant conflituted a troll,
and no lapfe of time could alter the original Rate of
the qualm).
Mr. ROI4ILLY conceived that nothing that had been
Rated was a legitimate ground of demurrer. Ifs bill
was multifarious, or contained matter that was ex-
, traneous or impertinent, it might be a reafon for tak-
ing,it off the files of the Court, but he bad never heard
that it could be demurred to. It was well known
that a bill had once been ligned by a very celebrated
equity draughtfmaa, an 4 afterwards filed, which con-
tained what was certainly extremely foreign to the
fubjeft it profeffed to, relate. to. No demurrer was
, filed, but it was for its impertinence merely ordered
to be taken from the rolls of the'Court*. He main.
ltained.that in this cafe the Defendants were bound to
anfwer the Plaintiff's bill.

in that line than half the profeffion put together, was one day mak-
