94 BOARMAN'S CASE.
After the death of Mary Ann Manning the matter was again
brought before the court by motion,
20th November, 1820,—KILTY, Chancellor.—Ordered, that John
H. Manning be, and he is hereby appointed co-trustee, in the place
of Mary Jinn Manning deceased, with Ignatius Manning; the two
to give bond as before directed, and the former orders to remain
in force.
These trustees gave a joint bond accordingly. And on the 9th
of July, 1824, James Boarman, by his petition stated, that the
estate of the lunatic was very productive, and more than sufficient
to support him in every comfort and luxury; but that the trustees
had treated him with great unkindness, although he was very mild
and inoffensive in his conduct; and they had kept him in an out-

and with not enough clothing, even of the coarsest kind, to shield
him from the weather, not even enough to cover his body and con-

the petitioner prayed, that the trustees might be ordered to return

those who may be entitled after the death of the lunatic; that the
petitioner or some other suitable person be appointed in place of
the present trustees; and that a subpaena issue, &c.
15th July, 1825.—BLAND, Chancellor.—Ordered, that the regis-
ter issue subpoenas to John H. Manning, and Ignatius Manning, of
Prince George's county, as prayed, returnable to September term
next; when an order may be passed for taking testimony and the
hearing of the petition.
James Boarman by his petition, on oath, filed on the 11th of
April, 1826, stated, that the trustee John H. Manning was dead;
that the other trustee, Ignatius Manning, since the return of the
last process had removed out of the state; and that the estate of
the lunatic laid immediately in his vicinity. Whereupon he
prayed, that he might be appointed trustee, &c.
11th April, 1826.—BLAND, Chancellor.—On considering the

return of the sheriff on the subpoenas issued in pursuance of the
