96 BOARMAN'S CASE.
order of the 11th of April last operated oppressively upon him,
inasmuch as he had commenced and was then carrying on a crop
with the negroes; that James Boarman was a man of bad charac-
ter; and, his sureties, although respectable men, were not suffi-
cient for the purpose. Whereupon this petioner prayed that the
order of the 11th of April last might be rescinded, &c.
28th June, 1826,—BLAND, Chancellor.—Ordered, that the mat-
ter of the said petition be taken up, considered and decided upon,
and the order of the 11th of April last, be rescinded, on the 26th
day of July next, unless good cause to the contrary be then shewn:
Provided, that a copy of this order, together with a copy of the
said petition, be served on the said James Boarman on or before
the 12th day of July next. And it is further Ordered, that the
order of the 11th of April last be, and the same is hereby sus-

that the order of the 28th of June last, might be revoked; that the
trustee Ignatius Manning might be ordered to render an account, &c.
After which, James Boarman, by his petition, stated, that the
lunatic Cornelius Boarman was dead; and that he had obtained
letters of administration upon his estate. Whereupon he prayed,
that the trustee Ignatius Manning might be ordered to render a
full account; and that the petitioner might have such other relief
as was suited to the nature of his case.
6th February, 1829.—BLAND, Chancellor.— Ordered, that the
said Ignatius Manning render a full and true account, on oath, of
all his proceedings as trustee of the late Cornelius Boarman, as
prayed, on the 12th day of March next, or show good cause to the
contrary: provided, that a copy of this order, together with a copy
of the said petition, be served on the said Manning on or before
the second day of March next.

renewed, the time of service enlarged, and the first of June then
next appointed as the day to show cause,
