Kirkby versus Ormsby.
Counsel being this Day heard, upon the Petition and
Appeal of Temperance Kirkby Spinster, Executrix of
the last Will and Testament of Dame Jane Ormsby,
deceased, Relict of Sir Edward Ormsby, of the Kingdom of Ireland, deceased; as also upon the Answer of
Gilbert Ormsby put in thereunto, upon this Point,
"Whether the Court of Chancery in Ireland had proper Parties before them, whereby the Decree complained of in the Appeal was rightly founded; and
whether Quinne, the Tenant of Ormsby, should not
have been a Party, though the Depositions taken in
the Cause were made Use of by Consent:"
Hereupon, the Counsel being withdrawn, it was
agreed, and ORDERED, as followeth; (videlicet,)
The Lord Keeper, (by Order of the House,) the
Counsel being called in again, told them, "That the
Lords are under some Difficulty in this Matter; for,
if the Appellant proceeds, you must make Use of the
Depositions in Quinn's Cause, otherwise there is
nothing to justify the Reversal of the Decree against
the Appellant; and in case those Depositions are
made Use of, being used in Ireland by Consent of
the Appellant at the Hearing of this Cause, the
Lords are in Doubt, whether that has not so
united the Causes, as that you ought to have brought
Quinn before the Lords, as well as the now Respondent Ormsby; whereupon the Lords are pleased to
adjourn the further Consideration and Hearing of this
Matter until the Fifteenth Instant."
Counsel being withdrawn:
It is ORDERED, That the further Consideration and
Hearing, upon the Appeal of Temperance Kirkby, and
the Answer of Gilbert Ormsby, shall be deferred until
Thursday the Fifteenth Day of this Instant May, at
Eleven a Clock.
Adjourn.
