TitleCase for Counsel's Opinion; Copy of third case submitted to Mr. Trower.
Description(i) Repeated question as to whether Sir Charles Dillon must get letters of administration and give the exors. a legal discharge. His own counsel has said that he need not, but the exors. have framed a release for him to execute. Are they bound to see that the stamp is sufficient to cover the entire value of the fifth share? Answer - Sir Charles must take out admin. because the stamp must be sufficient to make the discharge valid. - 20 Jan. 1817. (ii) Will the release they have prepared for him he proper and will it serve for all the other legatees of Sir Robert H?. Answer - Yes. (iii) Whether Sir Fredk. Hamilton is entitled to the money from the Navy Bill as transferred to his grandfather - which the exors. have managed to track down. Answer - yes, he is. (iv) Whether the exors. should pay the £685.16.3d., the dividends on Mrs. Mary H's stock out of Lady H's estate to the 3 grandchildren? - Yes, they must - to the 3 children of John H. who survived Lady H. (v) Can the exors. pay the shares now - reserving Sir Fredk's? Answer, yes, they can. Additional Case 22 Jan. 1817 Messrs Greenwood and Cox are claiming £96.9.2d. from Lady H's estate arising from an apparent error of theirs in crediting her pension twice over. Exors are only to pay if they can find reference to this in Lady H's papers. Otherwise they are exempt under the Statute of Limitations. Further question 24 Jan. 1817 Mrs. Mary H. drew from Lady H. bills to the value of £236.5s. Should the exors. not deduct this amount from the dividends to be repaid to Mrs. M. Hamilton's estate? Answer - No, because Lady H. did not think of these payments as a debt. To whom do these dividends belong. To the 3 grandchildren who survived Lady H. From James Trower, Lincoln's Inn.
