BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Mayo, Ireland Wednesday, May 15, 1850 ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION SATURDAY. Dr. Longfield and Mr. Hargrave took their seats on the bench shortly after 12 o'clock. In the matter of the estate of John Balfe. In this case an absolute order had been made for the sale of certain lands in the county Roscommon on the petition of Mr. and Mrs. Connell, to raise the sum of 2,000l. claimed by Mr. Connell under her father's will, and under a power contained in a marriage settlement. Mr. Lloyd now came in on the part of two judgment creditors, to move that the order be rescinded. He agreed that according to the will of Mrs. Connell's father, in case she married without the consent of the trustees appointed, she was not entitled to the 2,000l., but only to a life interest in it; and she had married without them and as the limitation to the children was void, he submitted that she had no power to raise the 2,000l. or to sell the estate in question for the surplus. The object of his clients was to prevent a sale for the present, as they thought it would be more advantageous for the creditors to do so; and they were willing to pay the arrears of interest due to the petitioners. Messrs. Rollestone, Q.C., and Lawless opposed the motion on the part of the petitioners, and submitted at as the trustees had not come forward to disclaim the proceedings, it should be taken for granted that they concurred in it; at all events whether they concurred or not the petitioners had a right to have the estate sold to satisfy their claim. The court refused the motion with costs. Several other motions on the list were postponed till next court day. In the matter of the Estate of Denis Bowes Daly, of Amien-street, in the city of Dublin, Esq.
