This was a Petition presented to the Coed by
the Defendant', a. Trustees of • charitable estate,
praying that a reference might be made to the
Master, to enquire and report what leases should
be renewed at the term on hlidsernmer.day, and at
what rents they ought to be so renewed. In this
case it appeared that the estate was left to the Ha-
berdashers' Company, for the benefit of poor bur-
gesses; and ea information was filed by the Attor.
nty-General, complaining of abes►s in the mange.
anent, and preying the Court to take some steps for
the better regulation and manageasent of the funds.
Since that had been filed the parties had assets to an
amicable agreement, and therefore this reformat to
tl e Master was sought by both, as the serest way ..f
doing jellies to the Charity. In greeting the prayer
of the Petition. probably the Court weeld hove no
objection to allow the Master's Report to be final,
without its being formally confirmed.
The MAnsa of the Rot.t.s." I am happy an er-
rangeland has been entered into between the relator
and the trustees ; because it is of essential import.
ance that the Court should keep • spry vigilant e)e
over all charitable property, con.i.hpring how liable
each property is to be abused and asismanagarl. You
may take the reference, bet you must come again
with the Report to have it confirmed, that may sea
it."

Mr. Routtt.t. said Ma wish of the trustees not to
trouble the Court again arose solely from au anziety
no their parts to save the amity from unnecessary;
tattooers, OR the fond was limited.
The MASTER of the itoLts —" I should be anaious
to do so also ; but I should be acting contrary to 2111
rule if I were to accede to the request. Othe► sui-
tors might plead the very same , and there would
be an end of all regularity. I must see the Repolt.'•

IN Till 14 ATTER OF DEPTFORD CHARITY.
Mr. WINGFIELD stilted this to be a short Petition,
relative to s charitable fend in the town of Deptford,
end to the prayer of the Petition he was sere there
would be no objectiee. About the year 1673 John
Eadie, an inhabitant of the town of Deptford, be-
tioeathed a sum of 2001. sterling,the letterset of *Nell
was directed to be shared among all the poor persons
in that parish who leery in need. At that ponied
there mete only two Of three destitute men in the
parish, and the money was therefore kept at interest,
and applied in the perches* of some lands, which
yielded 5001. or 0001. a-year. The poor mete now
quite nem , and every one claimed a share in the
fund. The Court was therefor* applied to, for the
purpose of sending it to the Muter, to say to whom
the c►arity would be given.
'fhe MASTER of the ROLLS referred the we to Ike
Master, as he thought It one of public importance,
being one on which other tames depended. Ile must
see this scheme which the blaster drew up, as it was
his duty to see that no advaotege was taken of the
poor, and that there were se favourites admitted to
share it, while the more duetting were essieded.
