LAW INTE L LIGENCE.

COURT OF cIiANCF.RT. Nov. 15.

Ex-p4m's ntiarrtx, AN TII7 MATTER 07 MARTIN.
Sir S. ROIMILLY stated this to be an application on
the part of Hannah Martin, praying that the twig:
sees under a commission of bankrupt, sued oet
against Hannah .Martin and Edivard Martin, should
deliver up to Hannah Martin all the furniture, plate;
china, &c. belonging to Richard Taylor, and which
he had by special bequest released to her, for the be.
nefit of her youngest children. The Testator had
by will assigneted the property in question to
Trustees, for behalf of Hannah Martin and other
Legatees therein mentioned, whom he declared to be
his children by het. •After doing so,. follows a
clause. that if Edward Martin, his son by the same
woman, and his mother, should immediately agree
to carry on his business together in partnership, then
his articles of household furniture, plate, china, &c.
are riot to be sold, but to go to the said Hannah
Martin for the benefit of herself and tine other
children. The prayer of the Petition therefore was,
that this property assigned to her for a special pur-
pose should be restored to her as executor, and to
form no part of the fund divisible among her ere.
ditors.
Mr. Coots followed on the same side, and contend-
ed rhat this was a special authority for the benefit of
children, under which she had no power of deception.
The power of a woman, under the existing circum-
stances, he contended, may he equivocal, as for in.
' stance, if a person took a ready furnished house that i
was equivocal, and the purpose of the trade must he
ostensible. It was therefore for the person trusting •
her, as the prole tetor of such a house, to enquire if
the houserthilly deserved that character, and to as.
certain whether the furniture, &c. were her own or i
tint.
Mr. HART and Mr. MONTAGU having contended
on the opposite side,
Sir S. RONILLY replied.
After which, his Lot:mitre gave his decision, that'
the trust was a trust not for the benefit of the Peti-
tioner
merely, but of their children, who were en- '
titled equally with the mother, to insist upon speciticj
penformance of this agreement. i
.His Lot:untie afterwards, on the application of,
Mr. Hart and Mr. Montagne, declared, that the ere- ,
ditors were entitled to stand in the shoes of their
debtor, whom they challenged the testator in the'
present instance to be. i
ARUNDELL V Ro'9.
Mr. HART moved that Mr. Philip Hurd, a practi- I
tioner in this Court, may have liberty to receive from '
Mt ssrs. Brown, Cobb, and Cu. money which was ap.
pointed to remain on •E. chequer Bills for the aeceant
of Sir John Roes. This litigation had taken place in
a bankruptcy in which Mr. Ross was ;lie bankrupt,
and the Plaintiff his opposing creditor, and it re- i
ferred to a sum of money which we,• claimed by Sir t
John Ross, equally with I{nss's otl, tr creditors, the'
1 other creditors of Mr. Ross were ..ow satisfied • that
i'lhe fond for payment of them arose wholly from the
Rinds of Sir John Rosa, who, of course, now de- •
tweeted that the same might be paid over to Mr.

iThe Lotto Citassee.tott said, the banker will not
obey that ordnr. They will not :;ay it to a Solicis
tor. The reason was, that the Client in the interim,
' thought it might be as well to be paid to himself. 1
SRACHLLY V. SUTHERLAND. i
Mr. CULLEN moved, that an order be made on the j
Defendant to produce a certain boot or writing, int
which be alleges that the varieus iesms which corns i
pose his charge of a mortgage against the Plnietiff, I
kept by his wife, are inserted. This he presumed to
move on notice of motion having been given of it to i
the Defendant.
