said Decree of the Court of Chancery, in such Part
thereof as directs the said Viscountess to accompt for the

so far varied, as that the Respondent the said Viscountess Dowager shall be decreed to accompt for the
Personal Estate of Francis Lord Viscount Mountague, her
late Husband, deceased, which was resting in her Hands,
or in the Hands of any Person or Persons for her Use,
or in Trust for her at the Time of her said late Husband's Decease: And as to such Part of the said Decree complained of in the said Appeal, as directs the

Question upon this Appeal, it is hereby Ordered,
That the Consideration thereof be reserved till after

Matters in the said Decree, not complained of in the said
