MORGAN'S CASE,
On a petition and affidavit, that a certain person is of unsound mind, a writ
De Lunatico Inquirendo may be issued. A trustee of a lunatic may decline to
continue to act as such. No one should be appointed trustee or committee of a
lunatic who is not a resident of the state. Where there is a doubt as to the
soundness of mind of one who has been declared a lunatic, he should be apprised
of the fact, and of the Chancellors readiness to hear any communication from him
or on his behalf. A lunatic's runaway slave, who has been apprehended, may be
sold and the proceeds of the sale invested for the benefit of the lunatic.
ON the 15th of September, 1806, John Nabb, by his petition,
stated, that Charles Morgan, of Talbot county, a relation of his by
carriage, was incapable of managing his affairs, and a lunatic;
wherefore he prayed that a writ De Lunatico Inquirendo might be
issued, &c. To this petition was subjoined an affidavit of two
persons stating, that they had known Morgan for some time past,
and believed him to be a person deprived of his reason. Where-
