time of sale. And the said trustee, as soon as conveniently, may
be after the sale, shall return to the Chancellor an account of the
sale, in order that the same shall be ratified or otherwise, as to the
Chancellor shall seem proper. And upon obtaining the Chancel-
lor's ratification; and on receipt of the purchase money, and not
before the trustee shall, by a good deed, convey the said slave to
the purchaser.

James Boarman by his petition, filed on the 26th of June, 1810,
stated that the trustee John Manning had been then dead about
two years, of which the petitioner, as one of the relations of the
lunatic, considered it his duty to inform the Chancellor, and to
pray, that another trustee might be appointed. Subjoined to this
petition was a certificate, by a solicitor of the court, that the peti-
tioner was one of the relations of the lunatic named in the inquisi-
tion; and that he was a fit person to be appointed trustee.

27th June, 1810.—KILTY, Chancellor.—Ordered, that the within
named James Boarman, be appointed trustee in the place of John
Manning, deceased; and that he give bond in the same sum as
was directed as to Manning, and have the same powers.

Mary Ann Manning and Ignatius Manning, by their petition,
on oath, filed on the 20th of July, 1810, stated that the trustee
John Manning, had died some time in January, 1809; but, under
an impression, that Mary Jinn had been appointed a trustee jointly
with him, she had ever since continued to act as such, until she
had learnt, that James Boarman had privately filed his petition,
and caused himself to be appointed trustee, without imputing any
misconduct to these petitioners; that the lunatic was a nephew of
Mary Ann; and had long been under her care, so that she was
better acquainted with the proper mode of treating him than any
other person, and had some influence over him; that the other
petitioner was her son, and lived on the same tract of land, imme-
diately adjoining to hers, and would render every assistance in his
power. Whereupon, they prayed that they might be jointly ap-
pointed trustees, &c.

13th November, 1810.—KILTY, Chancellor.—A petition was
presented in July last by Mary Ann Manning and Ignatius Man-
ning, to be appointed trustees for the lunatic, for whom the above
named James Boarman had been appointed, which has laid in the
office to be decided on when the said James Boarman should offer
