LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OP CIIANCRRY, Nov. 47.

IN TIM MATTIS or WILT., ♦ LUNATIC.

Oa the LORD Coaricztton taking his seat, he addressed Mr.
Pemberton, and said that be had this morning read over the 41-
davits in this case. He was quite satisfied that the lunatic was
treated with great kindness ; but he doubted much whether the
allowance of three hundred pounds a year. that was grained for his
maintenance, was expended upon him. The Court must have fur-
ther information upon the subject before it could grant the prayer
of the Petition. He (the Lord Chancellor) had directed a letter to
be sent to the Clergyman of the parish, making some inquiries, not
to be used as evidence in the case, but for his own private satisfac-
tion. It was altogether a very delicate matter, and the Court
scarcely knew what to do. The Petitioner, as we understood,
prayed to be appointed Committee, In the room of the individual
who now has the care of the lunatic, on the allegation that he was
in such humble circumstances in life as to prevent his affording
those comforts to the lunatic he would otherwise enjoy. His Lord.
said that he could not tell but this might be a contest between two
parties, whose object was to make the most they could of the sur-
plus of the lunatic's maintenance. It was, he thought, satisfac-
torily proved that this unfortunate Gentleman received every kind-
ness ; but, from his general appearance, surely 4100 a year
could not be expended on him. It appeared he was obliged to
be indulged, as opposition threw him into the most dreadful
paroxysms of passion • that, It was true, might in some measure, ac-
count for his personal appearance. There were many very sin.
gular circumstances attending the case, which the Court mast have
explained. It appeared that the wife of the lunatic died some
years since, and that her corpse was kept in the best room in the
house for nearly Ave years.
Mr. PIXIIIITON said that the body was now removed. It was
satisfactorily proved that the lunatic was treated with kiwis's.,
and that was the first consideration. The sum of 4500 slow,
was, it must be recollected. but a small stipend to keep a louse.
Perhaps the Court would allow the order to issue, as It regarded
the other matters in the petition. It had been intended to file
severaCother affidavits so the other points, but they were desirous
to prevent putting the estate to that expense; they would, how-
ever, now do IN, if it was his Lordship's wish.
The Loses Caamcsuoa—No, I will make inquiries in another
way. • •

Jong Aim Watkins William Wynn, for the. specific
performance of an agreement entered into by him fur the pur-
chase of an estate. Jones, who was entitled to an estate subject
to au outstanding mortgage, entered into an agreement with Sir
Widths William Wynn for .its sale. Afterwards be made an
assignment for the benefit of his creditors, the Plaintiffs the ass-
signets being appointed trustees, by which be assigned the residue
of the purchase money to his creditors, after payment of the mart.
gage. Before the purchase was completed, the vendor Jones did,
leaving his child, an infant, heir at law. The consequence of this.
was, the mortgage being only for a term of years. the legal estate
was outstanding, and the purchaser declined to complete the put.,
chase without the order of the Court. The diflicuhy the Learned
Counsel felt was, whether the infant was to be considered ass true-
tee, within the Statute. This the Learned Gentleman thought
would be considered the case, and cited Smith v. Hebber4, In
which the Lord Chancellor declared the heir at law of a vender a
an unperformed contract as a trustee within the statute.

derman Thompson baring brought forward the Governor of the
Bank of England to prove that no application either mature had
been made by the arm above mentioned, or any other bane con-
nected with the iron and lead trade. The Attorney-General hoped
his Mend Mr. Brougham would be inclined to accept the explana-
tion offered by his client, namely, that neither the Editor nor the
person who furnished the article had made the slightest alluilon to
Mr. Alderman Thonspsoci, nor were they aware that such km
was in existence, and that they were sorry that their paper should
hive been made the vehicle for such a report.
Mr. Damian 4as (for the prozecotion) said the libel was published
after the end of Trinity Term; and so anxious was his diem to
