lected to except his family plate in the bequest of his
personal estate to his wife, as he wished it to go with
his title, and desired General Eustace to request his
Lady that it should go so after her death, but de-
clared he would -a& make any alteration in his will
for fear of doing mischief, as he was well pleased
with its provisions. To account for his leaving his
son so small a provision, the Hon. Mrs. Leeson proved
that the late Lord had always expressed himself angry
and dissatisfied with his son on three distinct grounds.
First, that he treated him harshly in Holles-street,
giving him a flock bed in a garret to lie upon, and
threatening him, when his allowance was not regu-
larly paid, that he should find another home. Se-
condly, that he was dissatisfied with his son's con-
duct during the rebellion of 1798 ; that he expected
him to take an active part against the rebels, and
distinguish himself by the ardour of his loyalty and
attachment to Government, in which he was disap-
pointed. Thirdly, that he was dissatisfied with hint
for not living at Trimleston Castle.
In answer to this, Lord Trimleston gave in evi-
dence a series of letters from his father to him, front
the period of his marriage till a few weeks before his
death.

Nothing can be more confidential and affectionate
than the tone of these letters. He delegates his son
for all public occasions to act in his stead, and -Ss
always satisfied with what he has done.
In impeachment of the will of 181'2, that of 1802
was proved, which speaks of his son in the most
cordial terms, and leaves him all his real estates,
,including the lately acquired one of Turvey. The
transaction of the feigned codicil was also fully prov-
ed, and insisted upon, as shewing the real circum-
stances in which the late Lord Trimleston was placed,
and the real wishes of his heart.
Evidence was adduced to chew that in the aliena-
tion of some property, while residing at Turvey, Lady
Trimleston and Colonel Eustace took the whole ma-
t agententof the business. Rad a Mr. Allen proved
that he received an angry letter, in the hand-writing
of Colonel Eustace, and signed by Lord Trimleston,
about 'an application he made to the present
Lord Trimleston for leave to cut down some trees on
a farm he had taken on the Trimleston estate. He
went to 'I urvey, and Lord Trimleston took him out
of the room where Lady Trimleston and Colonel
Eustace were, on pretence of shewing him the family
pictures, when be said to him in a low whisper, "Mr.
Allen, you have received an angry late' from me,
but don't mind it, for I could not hdp it:' Colonel
(now (;eneral) Eustace proved that in both these in-,
stances he acted by ell express direction of Lord
Trimleston.

Colonel O'Shea was nominated as an executor along
with Colonel Eustace to the will of 1812. The pa-
pens of the late Lord Trimleston were, by consent
of all parties, given in charge to Colonel O'Shea.'
Amongst them was the will of 1303 carefully put up.
An accidental fire destroyed part cf the papers while
in Colonel O'Shea's possession.
Colonel O'Shea is since dead. An 1 evidence was
offered on the part of the present Lord Trimleston, of
certain declarations respecting those papers, made by
Colonel O'Shea to Colonel Talbot.
It was-insisted that this evidence was admissible
on the ground of the declaration having been preju-
dicial to the interest of Colonel O'Shea himself, and
of his* being equally the agent of both parties.
On the other side it was contended that no decla-
ration made after a lis mote or suit commenced on
the subject, as was the case here, could be admitted
as evidence. And cf this opinion was the Court, and
the evidence was accordingly refused.
On this argument, too, it was urged by the Cdun-
sel of Countess D'Alton, who was joined with the
Dowaor Lady Trimleston, in support of the will,
that die evidence Could not be admitted, because she
(Countess D'Alton) had had no agent at the exami-
nation of the-papers after the fire. But the Court
said, that with respect to that they could not consider
more than two parties in the cause, and that all auxi-
liaries (such as was Countess D'Alton) must abide by
the strength of the cause of the principal party.
It was further urged against the will, that the late
Lord Trimleston, when talking of its provisions, told
Colonel Eustace that he had left the Turvey estate to
Lady Trimleston for her life, merely as an equivalent
for the sum of £2,000 per antrum, which he had
secured.to her by the codicil-of 1804; and that she
might have the payment of it in her own hands ;
whereas, he had, in truth, never made the .said pro-
vision of £2,000 per annum for her, by any former
will or codicil. And the Turvey estate was worth
considerably more than I."'2,000 per annum, in addi-
tion to which, she was, by the will of 1812, to have
her jointure of 1)400 per annum secured on the other
real estates.

During the lifetime of the late Lord Trimlesten,
he allowed his son £7OO per annum, and from the
time his grandson, (now the Honourable Mr. Barne-
s ell), was put to school, another tIGO per annum,
making in the whole 000 per annum. But by the
provisions of the will of 1812, the present Lord Trim-
leston, with the title to support, would actually have
an income considerably smaller than his former al-
lowance, till the expiration of the leases of the King's
County Estate.
Thursday, after an interval of one day, which the
Chit f Justice took to consider the evidence, his Lord-
ship summed it up in his luminous manner. The Jury
retired, but not having agreed, a Juror was with-
drawn at 10 o'clock, and thus, if the parties be dis-
posed, the cause must commence de ;:ovo..
