ter of fact in thiS good old sordid vice of tic--
cumulation, or were excited to admiration by
'seeing th,*meanieSt'vice of maw expanded into
soled 'king like subliinity in :its gigantic pro;
portions.. The litigation went up to the House
of Lords. and the will wits contirmedi This
affair naturally modes. great noise. The Leg
islature took it up ; and, although they would
-not set aside- t -an cx pnit-farto-bor,-
they branded Peter Thellussona memory with
the imputation of "vanity, illiberality, and
folly" anti enacted by Statute 89th and 49111 ;
of - Georgc 111 i cap .911, that the power of de - -'
wising property for the purpose' of acenninla
tion shall be restrained in general to 21 years
after the death of the testator. Persons of an
arithmetical and statistical turn of mind oho
,occupied themselves with the matter, and.
with the aid of life insurance tables and Cock
er. they calculated that this fund accumulatedl
at compound interest, could not amonaiit to less
than 19 millions at the 11101110111, of distribution
and would very probably reach the tremen
dous sum of 82 - trillions. But "nothing so
false as Mots except figures:: The calcula
tors had forgotten to take account of that tin
known quantity whidli must in practical mat
ters. be represented, not by the letter ".r,"
but by the word litigation " Contemporun
r ously with the Chancery suit to set aside the
will, there.was a cross-suit to have the trusts
of the will performed under the direction or
the Court of Chancery./ Thai suit is now rid
years old, and, although Children and.grand
children are dead, the suit is as hale awl live
ly es it was in its earliest youth.—That emit
wits the true heir to Peter Thellusson. and it
is stilbspending_las,„ mohey like a frolicsome
young cornet. Necessarily there were other
suits. Thore were suits about poSt testaments
acquisitions of - real property, there were suits
; about advowsons„there were snits about mit
: er suits. so numerous that event equity lawyers
not stingy of their words are fain !et descrihe
them as "various." The entrant and improv
ing management ofdlne Court of Chanceryphas
also ekerebned its influence upon this estate.
The—Yorkshire estates have participated in
that excellent system, which Inns been so Ind- .
form in its action that when we see house
all windowless and unpaiuted,tottering and, de
caying, we can predict with a tone of inn
