years o f age, was admi t ted sch olar at Caius. He graduated B.A . at St .

J oh n’s in 1603 , and M .A . in 1607 . I n 161 8 he was appo in ted A rch deaconof Ch ester, and soon afterwards (probabl y in 1 61 9 ) marr ied Lyd ia, youngestsister of Dr. Bridgman , th e B ish op Of that d iocese. I n 1619 he was pre

th e degree of D .D . from th e Un iversi ty of St . A nd rews.

obtained a Canon ry in Ch ester Cath ed ral , and in th e same year took an

In 1635 h e was appointed R u ral Dean ofthe Deaneries of Ch ester, Frodsham, Malpas, M iddlewich , and Nan twich , andh e also became R u ral Dean of th e Deane ry o f Bangor. He appears to haveh eld all h is p referments u n t i l 1 646, wh en h e was ejec ted and h is estatesse i zed by th e Parl iament.

summed up by th e wri ter wi th wh om we are deal ing :“Th ere is real ly

noth ing to defin itely connec t th e two Snel ls, ex cept the fac t that th ey wereboth p ro tégés of th e h ouse o f Bridgman , i f, indeed , Geo rge Sne l l can be

cal led such , and that both used th e same coat of arms, viz .,a cross fieury .

Th e sl igh t connec t ion of Dr. Snel l wi th Scot land in h is tak ing an

Honorary Degree at St. A ndrews 2 can hard ly b e used as an argument in'

favou r o f a re lat i onsh ip. On the oth er hand,th e name Snel l is not a

“ common one in England , e x cept in Devon and Co rnwal l , and an ex tremel y

Th e inventory, wh ich only totals up to 1 2 75. 6d. contains nothing distinc tive exc ept a rather large quant ity of glass measured by th e foot, wh ich might indicate that hehad followed the occupation of a glaz ier, were it not for th e complete absenc e of tools and appl iancesfrom th e inventory.

9 The arch ives of th e University of St Andrews contain no record of th is, but they are acknowledged to be defec tive, and it is bel ieved that in the 1 7th c entury many honorary degrees were grantedof wh ic h there is now no trac e.

Th e most d rast i c change, h owever, was that th e E xh ib i t ions were

but by selected prefects), no competitive scholarsh ips, and the appl ication ofrational rather than conventional ideas to all matters of food, exercise, ven tilation ,and, as far as possible, cloth ing. The only part of the school wh ich has as yet

been passed over to Trustees is the School Chapel, wh ich was a gift from‘old

who wil l have two powers only (not financial)over a Headmaster, viz .,

appointment and dismissal. By his const itution the

I t is curious to learn that from 1 562 to 1 607 th is estate of Limeports washeld, first by a. person of th e name of John Snel l, and latterly by his son Patrick,fromwhom R obert Gran t acquired it. Dr. James Grant had an idea that theremay have been a family connec tion between these Snells and Robert Grantthat, perhaps, th e latter was the son-in-law of John Snel l ; but, owing to the

defective state of the local registers, he never succeeded in establish ing his

theory. His research es, however, make it clear that from 1 562 to 1 678 th erewas quite a numerous colony of Snel ls in the parishes of Perth and Scone, thename occurr ing in th e registers wi th great frequency. Dr. Gran t also indulgedthe conjecture of a possible relationsh ip between the Perthsh ire Snel ls and the

founder of the Exh ibit ions, but the as yet ascertained facts do not supportth is in teresting hypoth esis.

proceedings wh i ch have at di fferent intervals taken place upon th e subject of th is bequest,th e result of all wh ich , I th ink your Lordsh ips w il l be of opin i on, has estab l ish ed th is rule ;that in consequence of Ep iscopacy ceasing to b e th e form of Church Government inScotland, and th e Presbyterian form of Ch urch Government being substituted in its plac e,th e provisi ons made by th e Testator in h is wil l coul d not b e carried into effec t. As th eycould not be carried into e ffect, i t was necessary to come to some conclusi on as to whatwas to be done with th is property. It was at one t ime contended that th e direct object ofthe Testator having fai led, th e gift itself h ad become void, and that it had become th e

property of th e h e i r at Law ; and that content i on was overruled by th e Judgment of th eCourt. But st i l l it was in that case, as in all th e subsequent proceedings, assumed as a

fact, and as a necessary conclusion of th e facts that had taken place, that th e terms of th e

wi l l could not be carried into effect ; and i t was necessary, th erefore, to come to somearrangement, or to some sch eme by wh ich so much of th e Testator’s intention as could becarried into effect sh ould be enforced, leav ing out that part wh i ch , by th e course of events,had become imposs ible.

My Lords, th e present Decree under appeal takes a very di ff erent v iew of th e c onse

quenc es of what has taken place in Scotland. By th e Decree appealed from it is referredto th e Master to enqu i re “Wh eth er 1 th e sch eme can b e modified or varied, so as to make“such charity more eff ectual ly conducive to the supply of th e Protestant Ep iscopal Ch urchin Scotland, w i th fit and competent C lergymen, wh o, hav ing been born in Scotland, andeducated wh ol ly, or in part, at Glasgow and Oxford, shal l exercise th eir cleri cal functionsin Scotland ; and i f th e sai d Master shal l b e of op in i on in th e aflirmative, h e is to approveof a sch eme for such purpose ; but th e Master, in making such inqu i ry and consideringand approving of a sch eme, ( i f any) is to have regard to th e said w i ll, and to th e c ircum

“stance, that th e establ ished Church of Scotland was, in th e years 1677 and 1679, Ep iscopal,and is now Presbyterian and th e Court dec lared its opin i on, that th e Pr incipal, Professors,Regents, and Ch ief Officers of Glasgow College, in so administering th e sai d Charity,ough t to have regard, as far as convenientl ymay be, in th e present state of th e Ep iscopalCh urch in Scotland, to th e circumstance, that th e sai d Testator is to be consi dered as

having been, wh en h e made, and wh en b e republ ish ed h is said wi ll, a member of th eth en estab lish ed Ch urch of England, or of th e th en establish ed Church of Scotland, and

“ th erefore an Episcopal ian Protestant, and as hav ing by th e expression ‘ Holy O rders,’

meant Holy Orders by Episcopal ordination.

”

Now, my Lords, i t is quite clear that according to th e present state of th e Law,it

is possible and legal to apply any income for th e better provision of th e ProtestantEp iscopal Chur ch in Scotland. Th e Master has by th is Decree recei ved di rection thath e is to adopt a sch eme, th e effec t of wh i ch w i l l be to employ th e income arising from th isproperty, in favour of th e Protestant Episcopal Church in Scot land. The Court has declaredthat to be th e v iew wh i ch th e Court takes,. and th e Master is di rected to enquire how a

sch eme can be arranged wh ich shal l be more effectual ly conduc ive to th e supply of M inistersto th e Episcopal Church in Scotland. Th e Master, th erefore, h ad no discretion at all

upon th e subject.It was argued at the Bar, that th e effect of th is Decree was merely to refer it to th e

Master to say wh eth er the present sch eme is one that ough t to be cont inued, th e Decreeleav ing no discretion in th e Master on th e subject, but giving h im a Rule by wh i ch h e isto ac t—h e is not to approve of a scheme generally wh ich would be improper. Th erefore

,

with out giv ing d irections h ow h e is to b e gu i ded, it declares, that in th e Opinion of th e1 Here , again, th e Lord-Chance llor is not str ic tly ac c urate. In the dec ree th e words “

APPEAL TO HOUSE OF LORDS 205

Court, the subject matter sh ould be referred to the Master, and h e is only to approve of asch eme for th e purpose of carrying th e v iew of th e Court into operation.

Now, my Lords, before I refer to what h as been decided in th is case for some centuryand a half, I shal l cal l your Lordsh ips’ attention to what would natural ly be according toth e view I take of th is case, th e result of th e Testator’s gi ft coupled w ith th e transact ionsthat had taken place. At th e t ime h e made h is w i ll

,Episcopacy was th e form of Church

Government in Scotland, and (wh ich is not material ) I assume h e was of that persuasion,

and approved of that form of Chur ch Government h imself. It is quite obvious, therefore,that that being th e rule of Ch urch Government in Scotland

, and certainly th e rule of ChurchGovernment at Oxford, h e very natural ly provided means by wh ich young Scotchmen, afterhav ing commenced th e i r education in Scotland

,sh oul d finish the ir educati on in Oxford ;

and, as h e says, by th e terms of h is wi l l, to supp ly th e Church in Scotland w i th we lleducated M in isters, h e directs that th ey shall take Holy Orders. And I th ink there is nodoubt that wh atever h e meant by Holy Orders,” it was consistent with the state of Scotlandand th e state of England at that time ; that by th e expression, “ Holy O rders,” h e meantHoly Orders according to th e understanding of th e Episcopal form of Church Government.Th ey were to take Holy Orders, and th en th ey were to come “ into Scotland

, and there bepreferred and advanced as h is or their capaci ty and parts shal l deserve, but in no case

“to go back into England, nor to go into any oth er place, but only into th e Kingdom ofScotland for h is or th ei r preferment.” His object, th erefore, beyond all question, was to

have young men educated wh o sh ould be competent to carry on th e dut ies of the c lergyaccording to th e th en establ ish ed form of Ch urch Government in Scotland. W hether rece ivingth ei r ordinat i on in England or Scotland, is quite immaterial- th ey were to have ordinat ionaccording to th e forms of th e Ep iscopal Church ; and having rece ived that, th ey were to

come into Sco tland, and th ere th ey were to seek th ei r preferment proh ib iting them fromobtain ing th eir preferment elsewh ere—th ey were to go into Scotland again, and consequently,i t was h is object to supply Scotland w i th able and well educated M in isters, and wh o wereth ere to derive th e benefit of th e establ ishment as i t th en existed. Wel l then, my Lords,th is was th e state of Scotland at th e time th e w i l l was made, it hav ing ceased to be th e

state of Scotland pri or to th e year 1693 . That form of Ch urch Government having ceasedto be th e form of Ch urch Government in Scotland, and th e Presbyterian form of ChurchGovernment having been subst i tuted in its place, th e h e i r at Law said, assum ing th e giftcannot be carried into eff ect, h ere is a gift intended for th e benefit of a Charity, but wh i chcannot now be carried into effect, and therefore th e property would devolve on me as

h ei r at Law.

Now,al th ough i t does not appear upon th e face of Lord Somers’ Decree, that the

Doctrine of Cy -prés was discussed before h im, it was discussed, and must have been discussedbefore h im, and i t appears to have been so discussed by th e Report in th e 2dVernon, becauseth e wh ole quest i on turned upon wh eth er th ere was a fai lure of th e object of th e Testator,so that th e h ei r at Law woul d come in, or wh eth er it was with in th e province of a Courtof Equi ty to administer i t upon th e principle of Cy -prés—it not be ing contended by anybody,or th ough t of, that in th e circumstances as th ey th en ex isted, th e Trust could be carriedinto eff ect accord ing to th e terms of th e gift. Lord Somers was of op inion that the h ei rat law was not ent i tled, and so declared . But th ere is no declaration as to th e form of

sch eme by wh i ch th e Trust shall afterwards be carried into eff ect, th ough it appears fromthe Repo rt in Vernon, that th e matter was discussed, and that the principle of th e appli

cation of th e Trust to Cy¢rés, was that wh ich was contended for by th ose wh o objectedto th e t i tle of th e h ei r.

That Decree, no doubt, was not a decree wh ich , according to th e present forms of the

206 APPENDIX

Court, would have been pronounced. It left it much too vague, and i t is obvious that,according to our present form of proceedings, it having decided i t was clear that th e T rustcoul d not be carried into eff ect according to th e terms used in th e will, and that th e h eirat Law was not ent i tled, th e Court would take measures for th e purpose of ascertain ing inwhat way i t ough t to b e adm in istered for th e b enefit -o f th ose to wh om the income ough t tobe appl ied. That was not, h owever, done by th e Decree, but i t came again before the Courtin th e year 1 744, wh i ch is reported in th e o

th Volume of M odern R epo rts, page 407, andwhat was om i tted in th e Decree of Lord Somers was suppl ied by the Decree of LordHardw i cke ; for th ere he declares that th e Master sh ould approve of a sch eme for th e betterestabl ishment and regulat i on of th e Charity, and for carrying th e same into execut i on forth e future, as near to the wil l and intent i on of th e Testator, as th e alterat i on of c i rcumstances since th e making of th e w i l l would admit. Assuming, th erefore, th at that alterationof c i rcumstances did prevent th e execut i on of th e Trust according to th e Law as it was

th en in force, seeing that Lord Somers had decided against th e h eir, and that th e sameT rust was to be carr ied into operation, h e adopted that course wh ich was th e more regu larcourse, in my op in i on, than th e course adopted under th e original Decree of Lord Somers,referring it to th e Master to approve of a sch eme.

Now,my Lords, certain sch emes accordingl y were carried in before th e Master, and it

is sufficient for th e present purpose to cal l your Lordsh ips’ attent i on to what is stated in th eMaster’s Report. Th e th ird part of th e fifth Sch edule

,contain ing an account of a sch eme

lai d before h im by th e th en Vice-Chancellor and oth er officers of th e Univers i ty of Oxfordand by th e fifth of th ose exceptions, i t was suggested that every such sch olar sh oul d beobl iged to submit and conform to th e doctr ine and discipline of th e Church of England, andto enter into Holy Orders, wh en capable th ereof, by th e Canons of th e Church of E ngland.

That was th e proposi tion th en made by th e auth orit ies in Oxford, raising directly th e point .Perhaps i t would b e an answer to that, that th e Decree had disposed of it—that th e D ecree,by direct ing th e Master to approve of a sch eme Cy -prés, had decided that th e very sch emeintended by th e Testator could not be carr ied into effect. However, the parties were notexcluded. If th ey were desirous of a more speedy determinat ion of that point, no doub t,th e way to do it was by bringing th e proposi tion directly by way of except ion before th e

Court. How did th e Court deal with that ! Th ey came before Lord Henley, and LordHenley’s Order was, “ that th e defendants’ second except i on to th e said Report be al lowed“as to the sum of £50 th ere in mentioned, and all th e said oth er exceptions overruled.”Th en, my Lords, h ere we have th e decision of Lord Somers excluding th e h ei r ; we

have th e Decree of Lord Hardwicke direct ing a sch eme to operate Cy -prés ; and we have a

dec ision of Lord Henley directl y upon th e exceptions raised to th e R eport, overrul ing th oseexceptions, and th erefore, determining that it ough t not to fo rm part of th e sch eme, that theSch olars sent from Glasgow to Oxford sh ould be required to enter into Holy Orders. Then,that hav ing been so dec ided, th e Court, by disapproving of all th e sch emes that had beensuggested, makes some direct i ons. Hav ing overruled th e except i ons, it was qu i te unnecessaryto make any furth er declaration of th e op in i on of th e Court upon that subject, because i twas dist inctly decided. It was brough t before th e Court, and received th e del iberateJudgment of th e Court, that th e Sch o lars sh ould not be requ i red to enter into any suchobl igation .

Then th e result of all that is, that commencing with Lord Somers’ Decree, wh ich doesnot in terms dec ide th e point, but taking i t up from Lord Hardwicke’s Decree of 1 744,

fol lowed by Lord Henley’s in 1 759, we have above a century e lapsed, since, in terms, th eChari ty is declared to be adm in istered, not according to th e Testator’s wi l l, th at h avingbecome impossible, but according to a Sch eme omitting that part of the di rect i on wh i ch

208 APPENDIX II .

far as we can, according to existing c ircumstances. Are not the c ircumstances th e same!Is not th e Episcopal form of Church Government now confined to what was cal led th e

dissenting interests in Scotland ! 15 not the Presbyterian form of Church Government sti l l th eEstab l ished Church Government of Scotland!and wh eth er th e Episcopal ians th ere have moreor less tolerance than th ey had at a particular t ime, and wh eth er th ey have been rel ievedfrom more or less of th e difficulty that surrounded th em at di fferent periods, is qu iteimmaterial, and fal ls sh ort of th e main point ; th e main point being, what is th e E stab lish edformOf Church Government in Scotland ! That wh ich ex isted at th e t ime th e Decree waspronounced, ex ists at the present moment . I th ink th ere was quite sufficient reason forwhat th e Court did at th ose peri ods, and i f th e reason exists now, I th ink the reason ough tto operate at th e present moment, as it did th en ; I th ink if th e form Of gift wh i ch th e

Testator intended cannot be enjoyed in the shape and form in wh ich we find it proposedby th e Testator’s wi l l, th at th e only mode in wh i ch i t can be appl ied to th e benefit of th osepart ies intended to be b enefitted, is by that form wh ich was prescribed by th ose decisi ons,and that noth ing has taken place since th ose decisi ons were pronounced, wh ich woul djust ify a Court of Equity in depart ing from th em, and again resort ing to an attempt tocarry into effect th e gift in th e terms wh ich we find prescribed by th e Testator.My Lords, under th ese c ircumstances, I subm i t to your Lordsh ips, that th e Decree of

th e Vice-Chancellor ough t to be reversed, and I am not aware that th ere is anyth ing elsein the Decree to prevent th e d ism issal of the suit. Th ere is no oth er claim made. Th e

objec t of th e Informat i on was to obtain that decision wh ich was pronounced by the Courtbelow, and th erefore, that being th e only object, (for th e object of th e Information was

‘ tooverturn that wh i ch h as been so long dec ided,) th e reasons for wh ich decisi ons remain at

th is day th e same as th ey did at th e t ime th ey were pronounced,I subm i t th e Dec ree

ough t to be reversed, and that th e Information sh ould be dismissed with costs.

LORD BROUGHAM.

My Lords, I entirely agree with my noble and learned friend. I never had any doubtfrom th e beginn ing to th e end of th is case, that what was want ing first in th e D ecree ofLord Somers being suppl ied by th e Dec ree '

of Lord Hardwi cke in 1 744, and afterward byLord North ington, that th ose D ecrees were wh olly inconsistent with th is Decree, and thatth ose Decrees proceed upon a not ion in every respect inconsistent with th e view tak en byth e present Decree now under appeal. My Lords, it is clear no difference whatever h astaken place in c ircumstances, s ince th ose Decrees were pronounced, to just i fy that contraryproceeding, for it is rath er a contrary proceeding than a departure from what was done so

many years ago. I agree w i th my nob le and learned friend, and I th erefore shall not gointo the case, as h e has gone into i t, at such great length .

I ent i rely agree with my noble and learned friend, that th e Decree must b e reversed,and that th e Information must be d ismissed with costs.

LORD CAMPBELL.

My Lords, I have no h esi tat i on in saying I sh ould very much have lamented i f th eDecree of h is Honor, th e Vi ce-Chancellor, had stood ; (of course i t would not be al lowedto stand, unless found to rest upon suffic ient reason because, my Lords, it certainly, inmy humb le Op in ion, would have very much impaired th e benefic ial effect of a most excellentcharity. I find that th e Principal and Professors Of th e College of Glasgow, in th ei r answer,say, that th e Sch eme that h as been so long acted on, is a “ h ighly conven ient and benefic ial“ Sch eme, and practically works extremely wel l, b oth as respec ts th e patronage or righ t of

APPEAL TO HOUSE OF LORDS 209

nomination vested in th ese defendants, and the class and qual ificat i ons of the Sch olars,“out of wh om th e said Exh ibit i oners are to be selected ; and that i t has gi ven the utmost

“sat isfact ion, not on ly in th e sai d College of Glasgow, and among the students th ereof, bywh om the said Exh ib itions are regarded as th e h igh est and most h onorable reward Of

merit, but also, as th ese defendants bel ieve, to Balliol Col lege aforesai d, wh ere th e studiesof th e said Exh ib it ioners are carried on and completed. And th ese defendants farthersay, that th e manner in wh i ch th e sai d chari ty has been so as aforesaid conducted and

administered in pursuance of the said sch eme, has been very beneficial, and of greatadvantage to the Kingdom Of Scotland general l y, more espec ial ly because i t has been themeans of bringing forward and maintain ing and educating, at the Un i versity of Oxford,many young men, nat i ves of Scotland who, th rough th eir talents and attainments, and the

advantages aff orded th em by th e said chari ty, have in after life attained h igh distinctionin different departments of Literature and Sc ience, and have risen to stations of em inence

“ both in Ch urch and State.

”

Now, my Lords, th ere can be no doubt that th is representat ion is perfectly just, andthat the beneficial effects wh ich Scotland has deri ved from th is charity, woul d not have beenderived to th e same extent, if it had been requ i red that all wh o were to have th e benefitof th ese exh ibitions, sh ould enter into an engagement, that th ey sh ould take Holy Ordersin th e Ep iscopal Church of Scotland, and sh oul d be confined to that Ch urch . Dr. AdamSm i th was one of these Exh ibi t i oners, and I bel ieve that th e h igh educat ion he rece ived atG lasgow College, laid the foundat i on of h is great em inence in Literature and Ph ilosoph y.Th ere has been, my Lords, a long succession of most dist inguish ed men, who have reflectedh onor upon th e place wh ere th ey were educated, and have been of great service to the ircountry. And, my Lords, not on ly has i t been in the department wh ere laymen exercisedth ei r facult ies, but th e most distingu ish ed men, wh o have been educated first at Glasgow,and th en at Bal l iol Col lege as Exh ib iti oners, who have taken Orders, have gained th e

greatest dist inction in th e Church of England, and l i kewise in th e Ep iscopal Church Of

Scotland ; and I feel that the Ep iscopal Church of Scotland would not, i f its interestswere properly Considered, derive that benefit from the exclusive monopoly of th is Charitywh ich it is sough t to ob tain.

But, h owever, M y Lords, whatever the effect of the Decree may be, what we have toconsider is, whether it stands upon sound princ iples! I ent irel y concur with my nobleand learned friends who have preceded me, that i t ough t to be reversed. Now, it is admittedby His Honor, th e V ice-Chancellor, and it was admitted by '

th e learned Counsel for theAppel lant, that the Dec rees of Lord Somers, of Lord Hardwicke, and Lord North ington areto be taken to have been righ t. Of course, we are not to suppose that th e Testator, if hehad considered that Episcopacy would c ease to be th e Established Rel igion of Scotland,would not have made any provisi on whatever for the Episc opal Church . W e are not tosuppose that i f h e had considered th ere was to be another rel igion that was to be establ ished,and that Episcopacy was to become a sect, instead of th e only rel igion that was establ ishedin Scotland, that h e would have made it a condi tion Of h is wi l l, that all who were to taketh e benefit of h is Exh ib i tions, sh ould enter into a conclusive engagement to take Orders,exclusively, in th is persuasi on, wh ich was merely a rel igious sect, and wh ich was whollyunendowed.

Th en, My Lords, that being so, and these Decrees being admitted to be righ t, whatchange of ci rcumstances is th ere now that there sh ould be an ent ire reversal of the Scheme!because the substance of the Decree pronounced by His Honor, the Vi ce-Chancel lor, wasth is, that these Exh ibi t ioners sh ould h ereafier belong to th e Episcopal Church of Scotland,and to that alone, and that none sh ould take the benefit of th is charity, except th ey were

0

2 10 APPENDIX II .

to be exclusively educated for th e Ep isc opal Church of Scotland . My Lords, I cannot findany variation of c i rcumstances at all to auth orize such a change from th e principle on wh ichth e Charity is conducted. W hat was th e si tuation of the Ep iscopal Ch ur ch of Scotland in1 744, wh en Lord Hardw i cke pronounced that Decree ! W hy, my Lords, it was tolerated butnot endowed—it was a Church for wh i ch th e State made no provision, th ere being at th e

same time another rel igious persuasion that was establ ish ed by th e State, wh i ch was

endowed by th e State, and wh i ch was favourably regarded by th e State ; and th e first ac tof th e Sovereign of th is country, upon com ing to th e th rone, is to s ign a Declarat i on thatth e Protestant Church shall b e maintained. That was th e state of th ings wh en LordHardw i cke pronounced h is Decree ; what is th e state of th ings now ! Th e EpiscopalRe l igi on is st i ll on ly tolerated in Scot land ; i t is not th e establ ish ed rel igion of th e country.

Th ere is no endowment made for it by th e State, and th erefore i t remains as i t was. Th erehave been some furth er indulgences. Th e Clergy in Scotland no longer are Jacobi tes. A s

th ey do not object to take th e Oath s of Allegiance, or h esitate to pray for th e R oyalFam i ly, th ose caut i ons that were resorted to formerly, to preserve the Royal Fam i ly on th eth rone, have ceased to b e put in forc e. Indeed

, th ere is a courtesy sh ewn to th em, for th eC lergy who are ordained by Scott ish Bish ops may, to a l im i ted degree, be perm itted tooffic iate in our church es in England, but that does not at all alter th e situation of theEpiscopal Ch urch in Scotland. It is merel y a persuasion that is tolerated ; th ere be inganoth er R el igious Establ ishment that is endowed. There is no change of circumstances, andth ere being no change of c i rcumstances, and th e Decrees of Lord Somers, Lord Hardwicke,and Lord North ington, being al lowed to be righ t, anoth er D ecree wh ich substantial ly overturns th ose Decrees, must b e wrong.

LORD LYNDHUR ST does not appear to have made any remarks.
