LAW INTEafGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Almost 14.
DICKINSON 1. ROBINSON.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this cause.
The facts upon which the case depended appeared to be,
that upon the marriage of Mr. Braithwaite with his
wif•. her fortune, consisting. amongst other property,
of 2,1001. stock, was settled Upon certain trusts, for
the ultimate benefit of the children of the marriage.—
That marriage took place with the consent, as •it was
then supposed, of the guardians of the Lady; but it
baring beeh afterwards discovered that the Lady's mother
a'husbandliVing, and that his consent was neces-
sal y, and had not been obtained, a suit was instituted,
for the purpose of trying the validity of the marriage.
The result of the trial was to pronounce the mar-
riage to be null and void; and thereupon the con-
tracting parties entered into another deed, by which
they stated the facts that had taken place, and de-
clared their intention to revoke and annul the former
'settlement, and they then entered into a new one, and
then they were regularly married. Mrs. Robinsun was
the party to the present suit most interested in this
question, being the only issue of the marriage, and being
entitled under the last mentioned settlement to the pro-
perty which was the subject of it. A point had been
raised as to whether the revocation was complete, and
whether the substituted settlement could be carried into
effect. The decision of this question, as it affected the
parties, was a very important one; for under all the cir-
cumstances which had happened, if the settlement
should be vacated, the claims of the nest of kin would
be ;et in. The case of 44 Boughton and Sandilands"
had been relied on in argument against the settle-
ment, and it was contended that the parties to the
first settlement had no power to make the revocation
which they had clearly intended to effect. His Loidship
thought, however, that that case did not go to establish
the proposition it was adduced to support. The settle-
ment there had been of real property, and had actually
vested the legal estate in persons from whom it could
not be divested by the parties to the revocation. That
was not the case in this matter, the subject of which
was different. It should be remembered too, that
" Boughton and Sandilands" was a decision at law ;
and admitting that the principle of law was well laid
down in that case, it did not necessarily follow that this
Court would not have relieved the pasties interested;
their intentions and the equity of the case being made,
apparent to the satisfaction of the Court. To decide'
contray to this view of the subject, would not only be
directly contrary to what the pasties in this matter had
intended, but would also be at variance with the prin-
ciples by which Courts of Equity were guided in their
decrees. His Lordship was therefore of opinion that so
far as it went, and was intended to go, the second set-
tlement was an.effectual revocation of the first, and he
decreed accordingly, ordering a reference to the Master
ttemake -such inquiries as were necessary.
