LAW RiPOl?

COURT Ole CIIANCRILY, JULY I.C.
GREW V. SfIUERVILI,E.
This was an appeal to the Court to diseharge.?l,4*
order of the Vice• Chancellor. which perMitted. i credif4o
to go before the Master and prove his deb: ondef.tfle..
following circumstances:—The applicant was the Ciituit .
de Lieven, Ambassador from Russia on behalf of the
Emperor. Mr. Greig, his Imperial Majesty's Consul
in Landon, died intestate in the year 1807, leaving
property to a considerable amount. which was divideJ
between his widow and family. after a bill had been
filetf in this Court in 1814. One of the sons, Woronitive
Greig, was, ar.d still continues, a minor. His portion.
therefore, remained in Court the residue was pai lin
the year 1817. The Russian Government. on the re-
presentation of the Minister of Marine, finding that.
Consul Greig owed a balance to the amount of 4A49/..
in his accounts, instruved the Ambasstd,,r to take

steps to recover it from his estate. Count Leven wro:e
to the widow (now Mrs. Somerville), but receiving no
atssw•er, applied for payment of the claim out of the
infant's fund in Court, amoun, ing to 91,6001. and th
Vice-Chancellor granted tie order now appealed from.
Mr. StIODEN contended that his MAjesty the Emperor
of all the Russias had been extremely dilatory in his
march upon this occasion; that the statute of limitations
barred him from urging his claim ; and that it was a
heavy injustice to make this infant's fund pAy what the
others had avoided, merely from the accidental circum-
stance of their majority.
Mr. HART conceived that the Emperor of Russia had
as much right to justice in a British Court as the
meanest of ills- subjects. It was not intended that the
infant's fund should pay more than a rateable proportion

. .
of the debt due Irons the intestate's estate; thit he
sh .uld, in fact, pity only what he would have been
bound to pay had the application preceded the division.
The question as to the statute of limitations could be
consideied in the Master's office.

The LuRD CJIANCELLOR Was of opinion, that as the
estate had been divided by an order of the Court, the
sem now 'remaining, m-rely on ace 'um of the infancy
~f the owner, was exactly in the same state as the suing
actually parted witb. He would, however, look into the CA P&
more attentively, and give an order on Wednesday. This he might
say, that if the Vice-Chancellor's order was nut discharged, it must
at all events be altered.
