LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, MASCO IL

IIIROCIat•IP 15A0/11151.
Mr. Sn.towst.t. was instructed to reply to the Court
that the reference in this case for the appointment of
Guardians over the Children of Mr. Wellesley, might
be made to Master Stephen. Notice of the applic Mien
bad been given, sad the ground on which it was made
was, that there were two cares now before this Master,
which had direct reference to the estates of bich those
Children were entitled ; there uas money in Court
standing to the credit of those causes, respecting which
'there would have to be petitions presented by the In-
fants, and Mr. Stephen was much more acquainted
I already with all these estates than any other Master
could possibly be.
Mr. HART appeared on the other side. It was im-
possible that Mr. Stephen could be regula rl y acquainted
with any thing the Court might send to him before it
went; and it was not the practice of the Court to adopt
any favourite individual on any occasion. It was not
Mr. Hatt's intention to say any thing about Mr. Stephen
at present, but it ever there was a case that ought not
to go before him, this was that case.
His LORDSHIP thought that a case fee the appoint.
tent of guardians, so extremely special as this was,
would be quite enough for soy one Mauer; and there-
fore his opinion was, that it eight to go to the Master
of the day.
