COURT, OF CHANCERY, JUNE is.
Tostsittios Z. SIR JOHN LiTHERintIR.
. The Plaintiff in this cafe filed his till againfi the
defendant, on an equity of redemption, praying to
be decreed to the pofTeffion of one moiety of the
Manors of Tregenhault and Bottelet, in the counties
of Somerfet and Cornwall, as heir at law, ex parte'
materna, to Treville Crofs, of the city of Exeter, de-
ceafed. This Treville Crofsl,..it appeared, was a I
man of weak underltanding, and poffeffed of large
Mates, in fee and otherwife, itl the feveral counties
of Somerfet, Devon, and Cornwall ; but, unfortu•
nately for him, he was involved by mifmanagement
and folly, in debt, in the year 1737, and was corn
milted to St. Thomas's, a prifon near Exeter, where
he was left and neglected, until the A& of Infol-1
vency paned in the 16th of George 11. had relieved
him, up n aligning all his Mates and areas to one
John Crofs, a creditor of Daniel him, of Exeter,
attorney, who had a concern with this affair, and
took, advantage of the weaknefs of Mr. Crofs, and.
obtained a deed poll from him of the property, fub-
jeft to a mortgage of 28001. Daniel Prim died in
1762, and John Prim adminiflered to him. The de-
fendant, about 3o years ago, treated with John Prim
for a purchife of the two manors above named, and
procured himfelf to be appointed, by the Court cf
Common Pleas, Affignee to Mr. Crofs, and has ever
fence received the rents and profits of the Mates,
fubjeft to the intereft of the 213301. without having
difcharged the truft under the Infolvent A& The
plaintiff prayed for an account again(! Sir John,
charging that the debt bad been many years fince,
both principal and intereft, difcharged by the iffues
and profits of the lands, and demanded a re convey.
ance, as alfo an infpatiOn of the feveral title deeds.
Sir John, by his anfwer, admitted alma all the
charges of the plaintiff's bill, and put him on the
proof of his heirfhip, ex pane materna, to Treville
Crofs. The pedigree being very long, and a charm
appearing therein, by the denim/lion of one whole
book of regiffers, much ingenuity , was difplayed
in fupplying this deft& ; and in eflablifhing monu-
mental infcription. and other documents in the place
thereof, it was offired to prove an infctiption from
a tomb-(Lone, by oral evidence in Court.
The Citawcett.oe had, that the Hone might as
well be proVed by she body laid.ander it, as by fuch
evidence; it mutt be proved only by an intekrogatory.
It happened that the Witnefs, who compared the
copy with the original, had been on fome account
committed to prifon, and could not be ekamined on
the Commiffion. There was read, what the Chan-
cellor and Bar were merry at, a Conti& Epitaph,
Rating, that one of the Plaintiff's anceffors had reared
a monument to perpetuate the names and family of
all his anceftors, but beginning with the name of his
fon, and calling him the grandfon of the erector's
father ; from whence the Chancellor fnppofed, that
by the Coruith language, anceff ors did mean defcen-
dants. Notwithflancling misfortunes and length of
time, the Plaintiff made out a flrong and clear prima
facie cafe, which, on the return of the ufual iffue, in
fuch cafes directed, is likely to put the plaintiff into
poffeffion of a fine cßate. The iffue, as expe&ed to
be a long one, was direCted to the Common Pleas.
