LAW. REPORT.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Jona te.
GARTHWAITI V. LORD ORANTLRY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR went through the whole of
this case, with a view to give his judgment, which he
said was the third time of pronouncing it. The late
Lord Grantley was a trustee of the estate in question;
he filed a bill to take the opinion of the Court upon a
codicil, and to which of two sets of defendants the estate
was to be decided to belong. The Court pronounced a
decree to the effect that the codicil did not revoke the
will ; named the party to whom, in consequence, the
estate belonged, and .ordering Lord Grantley to convey
the estate. Lord Grantley did convey to the appointee
of the party entitled; an appeal was filed by the un-
successful party, but before it could be heard Lord
Grantley died. A supplemental rule was filed, bringing'
before the Court Lord Grantley's heir at 14w. This
branch of the Court confirmed the judgment below, as
to the effect of the codicil, and it thought that ord
Grantley 's heir at law should have his costs from the
unsuccessful party, because he had been unnecessarily
brought here ; inasmuch as the party to whom the late
Lord Grantley had conveyed would have been quite suf-
ficient to haye represented the interest. Upon a further
question, on which Mr. Horne had asked the opinion of
the Court, though it was not on the record, his Lord-
ship could not, because it was not on the record, give a
binding-judgment ; but his opinion was, if that opinion
was worth anything. that the renewal of the lease did
not amount to a revocation. •
