"E ATTORNEY4IINERAL C. THE )(AVON AND VORIVRA•
TION OE HUNTINGDON.
This cue was beard a few days hick before the Vice`
Chancellor, upon a petition of the relators praying fur
a Reference to the Master to approve of a scheme for the
titute regulation of the Charity, and that the Corpora-
tions might be made responsible for the losses they or-
s taloned to the charity fonds, in consequence of an itti-
proper and disproportionate letting of the Charity lauds.
tlis Honour, upon the hearing of that petition, decreed,
That Sir John Arundel be removed from the office of
Master of St. John's Hospital, and that the offices of
Natter of the Hospital and Member of the Corporation
11.1 held incompatible; that it be referred to the Master
to inquire with whom the appointment of Master re-
sides, and what are the proper qualifications fur that
make; also with whom the appointment of schoolmaster
I :Ades, aid what are the necessary qualifications ; that
;'re Master approve of a scheme for the future manage-
ment of the revenue of the Hospital; that as account of
tie rents and profits be taken from the tiling of this in-
formation ; and that the Corporation be made to aci•wint
tor Iliese rents and profits since that time: the costs of
the information to be paid by the Corporation. The
ulnae, however, stood over to be spoken to; and this
.s.ty a conversation took place between the Learued
Counsel on both sides.
Mr. Rau., the leading Counsel for the defendants, oh-
scorotil,that whatever justice there might be in the decree
for re:^oving Sir John Arundel from the office of Water
of the Hospital, it could out be contended that lie was
made personally liable for any part of the loss ,ustaiiied
by the Chafity, in consequence of the depret
out of the lands. The original information was nit
frpased as to allow Sir John an opportunity, in his an-
er, to address himself to that point.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that in the present state
of the cause, the Court was not warranted in snaking Sir
Jars personslly responsible for the losses to the Cha-
rity. . Had the. relators amended their hill, anti called
to on this individual to answer in his personal capacity
for these losses, ao doubt be should have been made
liable.
His Hooting then amended his former decree by di.
rectleg a refeience to the Master, to inquire into, and
state what is the constitution of St. John's Hospital ;
who are the visitors and trustees, and its whimu the ap-
'lois:dowel of muter of the hospital resides: in whom
the Charity lands are legally vested, or capable of being
rived ; and what are the necessary spalifications for the
office of master of the hospital, as well as the school-
master. Ile further decreed, that the office of schosil-
i::aster tdtbe Charity, as well as that of matter of the
I mpital, be held incompatible with the character of
ilember of the Corporation. With respect to the part
of the decree directieg the removal of Sir John Arundel
from the office of master, he should
sideration until the master had sent in his report. He
would further direct the muter to inquire into mud'
~tale the amount of the reasonable expenses incurred by
John Arundel in the prosecotion of the suit between'
him and A. Price, in behalf of the Charity, making the
anionet of these 'wawa an item in the aeconnt between
Cie relators and defendants. The master was also at! OLD B.IILEY SPSSIONS, JAN. 19.
