la bondad de la causa que defendemos, que la superioridad de nuestro entendimiento. El zelo en la defensa de los litigantes, nunca sea capaz de hacernos esclavos de sus pasiones, ni seamos los ministros de sus resentimientos, y los organos de su secreta malignidad. Neguemonos á nosotros mismos el inhumano placer de una declamacion injuriosa. Antes que servirnos de las armas de la mentira, y de la calumnia, sea tanta nuestra delicadeza, y miramiento, que suprimamos hasta las verdades, quando no hacen mas que exâsperar al adversario, y no son útiles á las partes que defendemos." 12, NEW SQUARE, LINCOLN'S INN, EASTER VACATION, 1848.

(L. C. November, 1831.) The jurisdiction exercised by the Court of Chancery, where, from the small amount of property, no commission of lunacy has been taken out, to direct an inquiry touching soundness of mind, and to make orders relative to maintenance and support, is confined to cases of persons who are parties, or quasi parties, to suits-the funds dealt with standing to the credit of such suits ATTORNEY-GENERAL v.
