LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Jrvir IS.

The Loan CHANCELLOR came Into Court at eleven
lock. •
THE MATTER OP TAR QUEENSBERRY LEGACIES.
iDMas r. MONTSONERT.--1 he LORD CHANCES..
~ on coming into Court, observed, that he had err-
doed the calculation for giving a 16th of the legs-
' claimed by the legatees of the late Duke it
Queensberry, and he found he would not be authorised
grant it. He wished to have the assistance of the
•as to what he was going to suggest. Claims had
made to a great amount, which might never be
good. For instance, suppose he should say that
•!aims or demands on the estates of the testator
listed to 500,000!. in the 3 per Cents. and they are
above that stun, and that we were to set apart
much 3 per Cents. to meet that sum, the dividends
ild belong to the claimants, and if their claims
reduced, the dividends would then belong to the
(atees, and residuary legatees. Looking at this case,l
which did not differ from that of a common debt,
although the amount was great, then suppose a debt
2001. which was claimed, and sent to the Master to
ascertain the actual stun due, would not the same prin-
. apply if it was to the amount of 500,000!.? In
regard to the 101 leases which had been before him
another place, where the Marquis of Queensberry
sought to set them aside, and if set aside, would not
Marquis come fur damages on the fund in Court?'
he did, then there was so much stock set aside fu['.
, and he would be put in the same situation as if he
Geoid make his claim good now. There might be a
on the stock, but that he could not help ; how-i
to balance that, there might be a profit, whielsl
claimant would be entitled to. He would be going
of the regular course of the Court to give to the
:gatees what might hereafter appear to belong to the
aimauts. Suppose they. were to call upon A, a Mar-
qnis, or any other great man, for the amount of his
z.ipposed claim, he could not ask to be put in a better
;.•nation than if he could be paid this day, fur we would
to him, " You cannot now establish your claim.
when you can we hose set aside so much stuck to
cover it, and you will take the profit of that stock."
was therefore clearly of opinion that he ought not
allow any part of the fund in Court to be paid out
the legatees until there was sufficient stock set apart
cover what the claimants might be entitled to.
Mr. Illurruat said, that the objection which had
been stated by hi% Lordship hail before occurred to
dm. It would he necessary, to can► the suggestion
. his Lordship into effect, to have the consent of the
claimants, and they resided in Scotland. There was
another difficulty, there being infants parties in the
-awe.

The LORD CHANCILLOR.—ToII can go new to
Scotland in two days, and the AccountantAieneral's
Oflice will not close before the 25th August, which
•ill give you time enough to ohtaln the necessary
+molest ; as to there being infants interested, that is
' material—l doubt whether what I did before was
rot contrary to all the rules of the Court, although I
believe the money to be safe, but I trill not venture to
repeat it. Let the appropriation be on the maximums of
the claimant's demands, liahle to reduction if they do
not make their claims good.
The last Seal after Term will be on Saturday neat.
