VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FEBRUARY 28.
TURNER V. ADAMTIEWAITE.
In this case the pttintiff, by right of administration, claimed
£lO,OOO stock, transferred by Doctor Adamthwake to his ne-
phew, the defendant. The plaintiff's Counsel produced a heap
of documentary evidence, to prove that the Doctor, in conse-
quence of a paralysis in the heart, was incapable of exercising a
mumd judgment upon important affairs, and that if mental capa-
city existed, yet that the enfeebled state to which illness had re-
duced him, afforded considerable facility of imposition. The
Counsel on the part of the defendant read an equal number of
letters to prove the sanity of the Doctor, and contended that his
general declarations of goodwill towards his nephew repelled the
charge of imposition. The transfer was made by a power of
attorney; that power was procured rationally and deliberately.
• There was no fraud, no surprise. The Learned Counsel cited the
case of Ryder and Kidder, 10 Vesey.—The claim was refused.

examined, negatived the allegation that his half-pay was sus-
pended In cc: segoanes of the defendant's application.

with the Chief Janke, were neither of them examined. mill*
other proof was tendered of the plaintiff's promotion having Wee

Jury, without isesitadoo, found a verdict for the t.

'The Soucnon-Oanza.a. stated the case for the plaintiff. He
said the plaintiff and his wife had bier in the service of the de-

for a warrant against them, ow a charge of having stolen some
. trinkets. A warrant was in conseqeence granted, and the plalts.l
tiffs' residence was searched, but none of the articles alleged by
• the defendant to have been stolen from him were found.
