The Earl Galway Estate Case Before the Court
The late Earl Galway by will left most lands to Mellith executors for five hundred years paying 130000 annuity to Decattra and others. Executors used revenue to cover debts instead of selling land. Upon the heir’s majority the estate rents were claimed, leading to a friendly bill to determine the course of action. The matter was referred to the Master to examine and report.
