COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. S.
IM TIM MATTIS Or TUB MOW. (B. JARVIS.

Mr. HORN/ appeared on a petition by Lord St. Vincent, stating
that his son had been found a lunatic on the Commission
which had lately issued, and praying for s reference to the Muter
to appoint proper guardians.
Mr. WAJCIIIILD applied, no a petition presented by the children
of the lunatic, for leave to carry in proposals to the Master's Ince.
Mr. Houle submitted that this petition had been brought for.
ward only for the purpose of getting costs.
The Loan.Csaucetwa said, that all parties interested would be
at liberty to go in before the Master upon Lord St. Vincent's peti-
tion, and therefore he refused to make any order on the petition on
which Mr. Wakefield appeared. It was highly important that no
costs should be incurred that could be avoided.

Several eases were struck out in consequence of no person ap-
pearing to support them.
The Cause and Lunatic Lints having been gone through, and no
gentleman being prepared to move any thing, his Lordship rote at
a quarter past twelve o'clock.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Nov. S.
IN THR xiaraz OF TUN CIIAILITY OF morn mini um.

The question on this petition was, whether the dividends due on
a sum of .11,600 and a fraction, in the hands of thi Accountant-
General, were payable to the petitioners exempt from legacy duty.
In 1813, a gentleman of the name of Joseph Francklin bequeathed
to the poor of the parish of Haddenham, in Bucks, .150 per annum
to be laid out in bread at Christmas, and distributed by the Mi-
nister and Churchwardens to the most needy objects in the parish.
The executors of the testator, under an order of the Court, pur-
chased a suthcient quantity of Stork in the Three pet Cents. to
answer the legacy. The Accountant-General was directed to pay
over the dividends to the Minister and Churchwardens of Had-
denham for the time being. That payment had been regularly
made until lately, when the petitioners were informed that notice
had been served at the Accountant-General's Office, by the Soli-
citor of the Board of Stamps for the Department of the Legacy
Duty, requiting the Accountant-General not.to pay any further di-
vidend,,until the duty had been paid. By the 36th Geo.III. every
legacy to the amount of £2O, given to any stranger iu blood to the
testator, was subject to the payment of six per cent. legacy duty.
The Counsel on the part of the petitioners contended that this gift
was clearly out of the pale of this Act, there being no person to
whom the testator had given a benefit of the value of .120. The
poor of the parish of Haddenham, fit objects for the bounty of the
testator, amounted at the present moment to no less than 820, and
the yearly value on bread, received by any one person, did not
amount to more than 2a. Under these circumstances, the peti.
boners sought an order from the Court, requiring the Accountant-
General to pay the dividends to them, without the payment of the
legacy duty.
Mr. Bayeux and Mr. LOWNDIS appeared for the petitloo—
the Sot.scrroa Gains. and Mr. Baratta contra.

The Vice CiIAIICELLOR thought the Crown entitled to the legacy
duty. and also their costs of the present petition.
Upon the cue of Dc Beauvoir v. Rhodes being called on,
Air. Cum stated, that Mr. Bepys, his leader, was in the Rolls
Court, and trusted his Honour would allow the case to stand over
till he came into Court.

Mr. Hoene considered that could be taken uno excuse. Other
Counsel, for the purposes of convenience, had given up practising
in the Rolls Court, together with its emoluments. He did not see
why favour should be shown to one more than another.
The Souciros Guntur. observed, that it was quite impassible
for Counsel to attend the three Courts. The Kir were trying to
come to some arrangements. He, together with his Learned
Friends, Mr. Herne and Mr. Knight, had come to the determina-
tion not to take any more motions in this Court, and he indivi-
dually intended to give up all the bankrupt petitions.
The Vice CIiANCIILLOIL was quite glad to hear of something like
an arrangement. He thought it impossible for Counsel to practise
in all the three Courts.
