no suspicion, the porter generally left the goods, and
during his absence they contrived to decamp with the

cries issued ; when it was discovered that they pro.
ceerled from a respectable-looking woman, in a state

66 This miller Ant came before nist,, by M Petition
presented on the 11th .4 the present month; audit
is a material &Cements beilig a Preitiefaiasessested by
Mrs. Taylors and supported by ow idleiestes-inticlt
rendered it my ditty to make an ordervioceraieg to
the common Cathie of the Celan, if nettorie Lord
Stewart from contracting matrihrony withtlatly.F.
Valle Tempest, or haling any further e (milted
lion with her upon that subject until my to
der. I had hardly disposed of that V.
making %that an utiles, when stiothet Petition, woe
presented by l.ady Frolic's, which Patillowprayed
en immediate reteirece to the Master to melee pre.
pouts of a settlement upon a marriage, of whittle'*
approved. The first Petition having Oren me indite
that one of the geardlaiss approved of theinetalsges
and that the other totally disapproved of it, die order
that I was to make upon tee second Petition was
obviously fur the attendance of all parties. Soon
after this a third Petition was presented, more 4e. lie
regular course of business, from Lord Sleivaeb Mese
self, praying that lie might go before. the Masteele
establish the fact that this would be a fit sad *liftable
marriage; and that in case the Master woe et:that opi-
nion, that proposal, of settleaseut might be laid be-
fore him. And here I remark. upon the ***preen** et
settlement, because in considering tee question, elle-
then it would be or note suitable nowise, it cares* be
thoroughly investigated.withoet attendance to this
circumstance, whether proposals could bested, foe
a proper settlement: It is dee to the interest of tiiet
ward of the Court to give the parties an opponent/
to be heard, by directing a separate Report to.bb
made by the Mester, to take the r•pirsion of th•
Coon upon the propriety or impropriety nf the Mare
doge, or es to the justness of the Mastet's Report laa
to that question. It appears that the case before me
is now reduced to two questions s—lst, W hobs,
Lord Stewart sboold have what bad been cared in
the course of the argument the usual refereisre to the
Master; and the terms usual reference to the Mae-
ter' had been adopted in the miens of the argu-
ment, in consequence of a fact which proved nothing .
as to she principle upon which the Court is to
that not within the memory of man had such a refe-
rences° the blaster been refused but I now state it
as my opinion with regard to the general practice at
the Court, that although, for obvious reasons, that
reference is made without almost a mention of is in
public Court ; yet, on the other hand, there osy, br
many cases in which such a reference would be isle
jurious ; but it would be difficult for the Court to re-
fuse it and the question is, whether ibis is a case
forming an eaception to the geom.! rule. The sea
Cond question which it is my duty to determines it
whether that order whirls has been prayed for to re.
strain Lady Antrim from any communication with
her daughter, earept its the presence of Mrs.
Kay, until the referegce to the Master shall be
known, shall be granted. I bare thought it my
duty upon this occasion to endeavour to ascer-
tain *h.t has been the situation of the ward, and
of the nature of the gusidiatiship of those en-
trusted with the cite of her, appointed on ten
death of her father, which took place in Aug. 1813, at
the time this y oung lady was about 13 'tweet age."
His Lordship then entered into a minute statement
of the facts which occurred from the death of Sir 1L
Vane Tempeit to the date of the present transac.
tion. He referred to the Mestet's Report of 1814,
made for the purpose of settling • plan for the edu.
cation of this young Lady ; and Ole Master thought
proper to fund, that Lady Frances should not be al.
lowed to live • ids either of her guardians, but wss
to be placed under the care of Mrs. Kay, a person of
the highest respectability • and Lady Frances, by the
some order, was restricted from making any visits,
excepting such short and °teahouse shuts to Lady
Antrim and Mrs. Taylor as was consistent with her
plait of education.; stud visits to other persons were
not to be made without the previous consent of Lade
Antrim and Mrs. Taylor, the two testamentary guar,
diens ; and without such previous mutual consent,
no persons were to be allowed by Mrs. Key to visit
the infant at home. That Report of the Master was
confirmed by the Court oa the 23d May, 1814. It ap-
peared that applications were made from time t.. time to
the Court, oath reference to the situation of this young
Lady, founded upon a view of what her health re.
qui red, and particularly that there was an order made,
upon the petition of Lady Antrim, stating what bad
passed in the Master's Office, sad the ceufirmetion
of the Report, and representing-that it was proper,
with regard to the health of this young Lady, that
she should be allowed to go. to the sea-side, •and
praying that the Court would find funds to answer
for the expense of that alteration in her situation.-•r'
The Court granted this order, sad it was given wider
the conception that no visits were to be made by or
to the young Lady, unless by the mutual consent of
the two guardians, lady Antslat and Mrs. Taylor.
While et the sea.eide, in the spring of 1816, it ape
peared by the affidavit of Mrs. Taylor that some
proposals were made to the young Lady of marriage.
Although it bad been enameled at the Bar, that no
answer was necessary to be given to this assertion,
yet that statement appeared to his Lnirdship to he one
which had beep most properly made to the Court,
because Mrs. Tailor had referred to that fact as form•
ing a main gcoustd for her apprehension, that • simi-
lar transaceson hail taken place in 1818. The af.
fidavit angled, *' that she has been informed, and be.
Neves, that early in the spring of 1816 (the young
lady' being at that time shout 16 years of age), white
at the sea side, the Countess of Antrim entered into
e plan with a Gentleman connected by marriage with.
a Noble Irish family, to accomplish a marriage be.
tweets the Plaintiff and a near connexion of his to
whom the Pinang' wet unknown; that the Nobleman
was sent for, and arrived from 'lreland, as she is
informed, and believes, with the previous concur.
rence of the Countess, for the purpose of being in.
trodoced at the boss, of the Countess; and prenoes
to suck introduction the Countess esplalned to bee
