93 BOARMAN'S CASE.

his bond; but the bond not having been offered by him, and it
being necessary that some effectual appointment should be made,
it is Ordered, that the appointment of James Boarman, be, and the
same is hereby revoked, (d)

The appointment of James Boarman being this day revoked for
the reasons therein mentioned, it is Ordered, that the petitioners
Mary Jinn Manning and Ignatius Manning be, and they are hereby
appointed trustees in his place; and that they give bond in the
same sum as was directed as to John Manning^ and shall have the
same powers. The bond to be filed before the first of January
next.

These trustees gave bond accordingly, and took upon them-
selves the care and management of the lunatic and his estate; and
on the 21st of December, 1810, returned an inventory of his pro-
perty, from which it appeared, that in addition to the other pro-
perty therein described, they then had in hand the sum of £353
7s, Od. After which, the matter was, by motion, again brought
before the court.

21st December, 1810.—KILTY, Chancellor.—The order of the
7th of February, 1798, to remain in force as to the present 'trus-
tees, who were appointed on the 13th of November last; except
as to the last part, until further directions shall be given.

James Boarman by his petition, filed on the 4th of January,
1815, stated that the lunatic's estate consisted of about two hun-
dred acres of land and upwards, of thirty negroes, about seventeen
of which were working hands; that he was satisfied, from his own
observation, and the best information he could obtain, the product
of his estate was far beyond the necessary expenditure for his
maintenance, even should it have been thus applied; but that the
trustees have inhumanly and shamefully neglected to furnish him
with the comforts of life, by withholding from him such clothing
as was almost indispensable to his existence; and also by placing
him in a house not fit for his residence; and leaving him, unat-
tended, to the great danger of his personal safety,, if not of his life;
that the trustee Mary Jinn Manning was a very old and infirm
woman, and entirely incapable of attending to the well being of
the lunatic. Whereupon, the petitioner prayed, that he, or some
other suitable person might be appointed trustee, &c.
