NOTES.

(1) A manager of a West India estate is not required to give

security faithfully to manage, but only to consign, or otherwise account for the produce. Morris v. Elme, 1 Ves. jun. 139. Rutherford v. Wilkinson, No. VII. post.

In Forbes v. Hammond, L. C. 15th Jan. 1811.

Reg. Lib. A. 1810. fol. 178. a manager was appointed of a West India estate without giving security.

But in Rutherford v. Wilkinson, Rolls, 9th July, 1825, ex relatione Mr. Tinney, the Master of the Rolls said that that case was under special circumstances; and that in general by the report it should appear that no manager could be found who would give security, or that the proposed person was fit to be appointed without security; but, under the circumstances of that case, made the order with the consent of such of the parties as were capable of consenting.

(2) The manager of a West India estate is not entitled to commission during his absence from the island, but is entitled to what he has paid to others for the management of the estate during his absence, provided the payments are reasonable. Forrest v. Elwes, 2 Mer. 68.

[Inter alia] And it is ordered, that it be referred to Mr. S. the Master to whom these causes stand transferred, to appoint a proper person in London, to whom the rents, profits, and produce of the said testator Mr. Bond's estate in Jamaica, may be consigned and committed. And the said Master is to make such person a reasonable allowance in respect thereof; but such person is first to give security, to be approved of by the said Master, to be answerable for what he shall receive (2) in respect of the said testator's estate in Jamaica, as this Court hath hereby directed and shall hereafter direct. And it is ordered, that such person do pass his accounts annually up to the 30th day of April in every year, before the said Master, to be included in the said Master's general report, and pay the balances which shall be reported due from him to the said Richard Robinson, until the further order of this Court. And it is ordered, that the said Master do appoint one or

more proper person or persons to act as manager or managers of the said testator's estate in Jamaica, in the event of the death, absence from the island, or other incapacity to act of the said Peter Robertson, the present manager, to receive the rents, profits, and produce thereof, and remit the same to the consignees or consignees for the time being in London. Rutherford v. Wilkinson, 31st May, 1823. Reg. Lib. B. 1822. fol. 1241.

For the like order, with direction for security. See S. C. M. R. 30th November, 1824. Reg. Lib. B. 1824. fol. 146.

For the like order without security, the plaintiff's counsel consenting. See S. C. M. R. 22d April, 1826. Reg. Lib. B. 1825. fol. 903.

NOTES.

(1) In Forbes v. Hammond, 1 J. & W. 88. the Master of the Rolls doubted whether a consignee could be appointed prospectively, in the event of the death of another; but made the order, observing, that it must again come before the Court upon the report.

And such orders have been since repeatedly made. Rutherford v. Wilkinson, supra.
