Shelford on the Law and Practice of Lunatics , 1833, 366-72; grounds upon which the Lord Chancellor (under statutory powers) will authorise sale of the lunatic's real estate for various purposes, including his better maintenance by new investment, as in the purchase of an annuity.
The application was opposed by the respondent, the trustee on William's estate, on the ground, first, that an application in this form was incompetent; and, secondly, that it was unnecessary, as his rents were sufficient to provide food and clothing for the lunatic.
The Court, before answer, ordered minutes, and also a report by the Sheriff of the county, stating the value of the lunatic's property and the amount of his debts. The property was therein estimated at L.1000, the free rental L.33: 18: 3, and the outstanding debt L.162: 5: 7½.
Act. Dean of Fac. (Hope,) Monro. Alt. Sol.- Gen. (Cuninghame.) James Burness and Thos. Deuchar, Agents.
