ar ing the regret be expressed in the course of the argument that it had not been brought be£tu the court at once, upon a full and accurate #telement of the fasts, because it would no doubt be found, or further consideration, that many of the statements put forward in the bill could not be statantiated, fe had son to decide, upon the allegations of the bill, a case affecting the bougni, fatecente, and property of - x-family in a higù station of life, the estates in qucation being represented as worth between *£10,000 A3 £20,000 a year. The first baronet, Sir Tonel Wright Fletcher, by his will dated. in 1783, left these estates to bis son Frederick Fletcher Vano for life, with succession in tail male. Frederick succeeded to the title in the same year, and married, on the 9th of March, 1797, a lady by whom he had previously had children, one of whom died in 1814, and the other lived to the age of 57. According to the bill, the lady, being in a delicate state, told Sir Frederick that unless he married her ke sheuld never, som hur on her family any more, and be ba

gdeeply attachedty her, announced that be bad obtained in licence, and they were to be maried forthwith. This announcement produced sach excitement en the part of the Indy, that she PK prematurely confined, and a sun was born, who afterwards took poniession of the estates, and assumed the title of Sir Francis Fletober Yut. The present plaintiff was born in 1807, | ten years after the marvinge, and Franoia wan then his only brother. Under these circampkze. Silk, 285 pkge.

But it was stated by the bill that at that time he was in utter ignorance of the fact of his father and mother having had any illegitimate child, aad in 1823, when bo was only 15 or 15 years old, bie elder brother upon bis marriage was ad mitted to the possession of the whole of -the property, and remained in possession till his death in 1842, when he was succeeded by Henry Ralph Vane, the present defondant. The right of the plaintiff uterned more than 41 years tał, 211 pkgs. before the fling of this bill, and if the coas depended upon the general law, would have been arred in 1852. To amablish his title now he must show tent there had not been a concealed fraud, and a more direct, or more positive, or more sojustifiable trand than that stated in the bill it was in possible to conceiro. The statement that Francis, on altaiming his majority was told by bie father that he vai filegitimate was marcely

reconciliable with the eabsequent nets of father

and son, and it was difficultˇio" believe, na wak asserted in the bill, that Lady Diana Beauclerk and her father were aware before her warringe with Fransir that be was illegitimate; but for the prescut purpose he must accept those state. ments true. I was clear, then, that a frand had been committed, and it was fair to assume that the plaintiff was in ignorance of all these circumstances til 1806, which his wife was told by Lady Olivia that some of the children of Lady. Vane were burn before marriage. He was of opinion that there had been a fraud, that it was a concealed frand, and that the plaintiff could

not by reasonable diligenco buve discovered it within the twenty yeare, and, under these direnmstances, he overruled the demurrere, sud. gave the defendanta six weeks to put in their answer to the kill--Times.
