Henry L. Chase of Brookline, her brother,
absolutely in trust, some months ago. When
she executed the deed OF trust she did not
know she had put the property absolutely
out of her control. She afterwards learned
she could in nowise control tie property, as
the deed contained no power in her to re-
woke the trust. She filed "a bill in equity
in the Supreme court asking that the deed
be revoked as she did not fully comprehend
it's effect when she executed it. The case
was called up this afternoon, before Judge
Morton. when Mr.. Chase, under the circum-
stances. agreed to her prayer, and without
any objection from any one, she was given
back the legal ownership of the property,
the deed being ordered revoked. Mr.. Chase.

himself the responsibility of annihilating
the deed. and wanted the approval of the
