Morgan's decease, but that the daughter would be entitled at least to the twenty thousand pounds, should her brother die at any time without issue. No wonder then that Lady Rachel should assert her right to these arrears, and do every thing in her power for this daughter, in order to make her some amends for the injustice done her by her father, and in some de-[44]-gree to mitigate the disappointment, and reimburse the heavy expence of very long and unsuccessful lawsuits with the appellant and his family, from whom Mrs. Jones had not yet been able to recover a shilling of money, nor an acre of land, though she had been, unfortunately for her, in law with them now about twenty years. Therefore, under the circumstances of this case, it was submitted, that Mr. Charles Morgan, who had run away with so large an estate of the father's, ought to pay the last shilling that was a charge on that estate, and due to the mother. Whether the arrears in question were or were not due, might easily be ascertained by the bare relation of a few leading facts, which were of such a nature that they could not be palliated or evaded.

It was a fact, and in proof, that on the 38th of March 1716, when Mr. William Morgan attained his age of twenty-one years, there had become due to Lady Rachel Morgan, on account of her rent-charge only, 30,000l. and on account of the maintenance of Mr. William Morgan, his brother and sisters, 15,124l. 2s. 4d., in all 45,124l. 2s. 4d. It was a fact, and in proof, that she had received at that time expressly on account of her rent-charge, no more than 23,000l. and that she had received no more than 5411l. 6s. expressly on account of the maintenance of her eldest son, and of her several younger children, in all 28,411l. 6s. This sum being deducted from the above sum of 45,124l. 2s. 4d. left a balance of 16,712l. 16s. 4d. due to her Ladyship on the 28th of March 1746 when Mr. William Morgan, her eldest son, came of age.—It was a fact, and in proof, that this arrear (which one year with another might be computed at 1100l.) was incurred during a period when the estate was subject to no material demands, but her Ladyship's, except taxes and other necessary outgoings.—It was a fact, and in proof, that the rents of the estates of Mr. William Morgan were very little, if at all, advanced from the time of his coming of age, till the time of his death; and that Mr. William Morgan received no accession to his fortune, so as to enable him to pay off this large arrear, but that this arrear increased every year of his life.—It was a fact, and in proof, that Mr. Lloyd became house-steward to Lady Rachel Morgan, soon after her husband's decease in 1731, and continued so till his (Mr. Lloyd's) decease in August 1748. That all payments made during that period, on either of the foregoing accounts, were made to Mr. Lloyd. That those payments were brought down in accounts settled as low as the 13th of February 1747-8, which was within a few months of Mr. Lloyd's death.—It was a fact, and in proof, that on Mr. Lloyd's death, Mr. William Morgan became, himself, his mother's agent, taking upon himself the management of her household, and remitting by Mr. Bryan his own steward, the money wanted for her Ladyship's use, as it best suited his own convenience.—It was a fact, and in proof, that of the forty-nine years or thereabouts that intervened between the death of Sir William Morgan in April 1731, and the death of Lady Rachel in June 1780, it appeared by regular accounts what sums were paid to Lady Rachel's use on the accounts aforesaid, during the space of [45] forty-four years or thereabouts of the said forty-nine years; so that there remained a space of about five years only, concerning the payments made in which time by William Morgan himself, when in London, all the vouchers had not been discovered when the above examinations were put in, although the payments made during that time by Mr. Bryan on the accounts aforesaid, appeared then by several papers, books, and vouchers, and that the papers and vouchers, which had been discovered since Lady Rachel's death, had cleared up the matter with respect to the payments to her use during the said five years, which payments on an average appeared to exceed 1200l. a-year.—It was a fact, and in proof, that Mr. William Morgan was himself his mother's, agent during this period of five years, as well as afterwards; that if the arrears which became due during this period to her Ladyship, should be compared with the arrears which became due to her during her son's minority, about which last arrears there could be no doubt, as the accounts relating to them were settled in Chancery, there would be found no reason to infer from the comparison, that more money was paid to her Ladyship's use, during the said period of five years, than what was credited in the schedules to the master's report; from whence it would
