ROLLS COURT-THIS DAY.

(Before Lard Gatessao).
t THE L4TE MR. SIMPSON'S (Or Sit RIWSBORT) WILL.
This long litigated Caine was again brought under the notice of
the Court, on the petition of Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Newsnn, the
tenants for life, praying a reversal of the Order made by his Ho-
nour the Vice-Chancellyr, by which a receiver was appointed of
the estates in Scotland as well as of those in Kngland. The present
Petition prayed that the case might be referred to the blaster, and
that the Petitioners might be allowed to re;eive out the clear fund
then in Court. The question in this ease is, whether the Semen
estates are liable to the charges of repairs and certain purchases,
which, on the part of the Trustees it was contended, bad been made
for the benefit of the estate ? This was met by an allegation, that
there had been received no leas a sum than 114342, and ;;tat the
yearly income of the property ansoubted to nu less a aunt than
X1,45:3. From the pleadings it appeared that the rent. of the
Scotch estates had been applied to the general purposes of the
estate; whereas, they did not pass, by the will, in any ozber way
than to the Ladies in querion, one of wbum is the wite of Dr.
Johnson, as tenants for life, and that they were .eutitled to thl
whole proceeds of theta, at a clear estate.
Lord Otero's') reversed the former Order so far as stanting the
inquiry by the Master, as to where and how the respective
estates were situated, and .directed the Receiver to pay over the
money in his hands. His Lordship also directed, that separate
accounts should be kept of the personal and real :estate ; hut with
respect to the latter part of the Petition, the paying out or Court
the fund in Its possession, he felt that, under the conflicting evidence
before him, he could not grant it, following, as he did, the rule
laid down by his predecessors—namely, nem' to grant What was
here prayed without the way was very clear. His Lotd ;hip then
ordered the decree to be drawn Op in toe manner specified.

give the kind of satisfaction which you seem to desire, even to an
innocent party.

elicited by a document filed by you in your own case add that ufa
your uncle, giving a must erroneous representation of my ntuticos
and conduct in the investigation alluded to. This closes our cor-
