COLE VS.O'NEILL. 175
" [On the 4th December, 1850, the complainant filed his bill
of complaint in this case, against the defendant O'Neill and
others, stating in substance, that by deed dated 17th April,
1843, Catharine Drake conveyed to complainant certain real
estate in that; deed described, and all other her property in
trust for her use during her life, with absolute power in any
manner, and free from the control of any future husband, to
dispose of said property, and in the event of a failure on her
part to exercise said power, then for the use of complainant
and his heirs. That by deed dated 27th February, 1843, the
said Catharine Drake had mortgaged parcel of the property

rents, who have received notice of the complainant's claim

of the said Catharine, and at other times in his own right, has
interfered with said tenants, so that they refuse to pay their
rents to the complainant, and complainant is thereby aggrieved
