272 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY. THE CHANCELLOR: The consideration of the petition of George R. Vickers, filed on the 7th instant, was deferred to this day, and notice given to the petitioner's counsel, who desired to be heard. The questions now must be disposed of without further delay. In the opinion delivered by this court on the 4th of the present month, its authority, and the propriety of investing the large amount now lying idle, pending the appeal, was assert- ed, and the power to make the investment is believed to be fully supported by the case of Latimer vs. Hanson, 1 Bland, 51, in which two successive Chancellors of this court maintained the power without requiring or waiting for the assent of all the parties interested. The investment, therefore, must be made in the stock debt of the state of Maryland, or of the city of Baltimore, the ap- plication of the petitioner, Vickers, and of certain other parties to receive the dividends upon giving refunding bonds being deemed inadmissible. Mr. Glenn in his answer to this last petition offers to make the investment without charge on his part, whilst it is fairly to be inferred from the terms of the recommendation of Mr. Alex- ander that he is to be compensated in case he should be appoint- ed trustee for the purpose. Indeed, without his previous consent to forego commissions, he could not be denied some compensation for the service. [An order was then passed appointing Mr. Glenn trustee to make the investment as above directed, upon giving bond with approved security.] |
