gards the interest of those who claim under Jane, the facts having
been admitted, must be made perpetual.
But the purpose to which the money arising from the sale was
to be applied, was among others, the payment of this debt said to
be due to Edward Thomas; if it had been shewn, that there was,
in fact, no debt due to him, the trustee Francis Deakins would not

istration de bonis non upon the estate of the late William, was
