LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Summit!.
GRANT V. GRANT.

This was a report from the Master; upon which the
confirmation of his Lordship was prayed. It appeared
that considerable property had been left by will to a
grAndson, who was at the time of his grandfather's de-
cease an inmate in the workhouse. The boy was re-
move.' from the workhouse, and sent to school to be
educated, for the purpose of eradicating those low ha-
bits which in his former unfortunate situation he had in-
evitably acquired. This object had not, however, been
answered ; and it was now desired to place him under
private tuition until he should attain the age of twenty-
one (being now fourteen or fifteen), with a salary to
the tutor of 300/. per annum. To this proposition his
father had, fortunately for the young man, acceded, and
all that was now waited for was his Lordsli;p's decision.
The LORD CUANCELLOft confirmed the Master's report.
