Boyd v. Clements
Opinion of the Court
By the Court.
delivering the opinion.
Were these charges of the Court proper ?
As to the first, we say nothing.
The charge states what seems to be authorized by decisions. Ex parte Lacey, 6 Ves. 625. Campbell vs. Walker, 5 do. 678. Sanderson vs. Walker, 13 do. 601. Whelpdale vs. Cookson, 1 Ves. sr. 9. Hill on Trustees, 536.
It is to be understood that the right of the cestui que trust
This charge being right, it follows, from the facts of the case, that a new trial ought not to be granted to the plaintiffs in error, whether the first charge was right or not.
So a new trial is refused.
