First Division—(G.D.F.)
No. 197—Sarah Grant, Petitioner, v. Peteb
Cameron, Respondent.
Aliment—Factor loco tutoris—Minor—Circumstances in which the factor loco tutoris of a minor heir was empowered by the Court to make to the widow, out of the rents of the estate, which amounted to £869, a present payment of £300, to enable her to remove with the heir to the south of England for the benefit of his health. The Court had previously allowed the widow £150 for behoof of the heir, with a like sum to herself.
The Court, of consent, 24th February 1838 (Vol. X. p. 324), granted warrant to the respondent, who is factor loco tutoris to the eldest son of the petitioner, the widow of the late Major Grant of Beldorney, to make payment of £150 per annum out of the rents of the estate in name of aliment to herself, and of £150 yearly for behoof of the son for maintenance and education. She now moved the Court to grant warrant on the factor for a present payment of £400, or of £100 annually in addition to the sum previously allowed, on the ground that the heir, who was in very delicate health, required to be removed to the south of England for the benefit of his health, and that she was unable to comply with the advice of the medical attendants (whose certificates are in process), in respect the sum allowed by the Court on a former occasion was inadequate to meet the additional outlay which would be occasioned by the removal of the family, and greater expense in living at a distance.
The respondent consented to allow the petitioner a present payment out of the free rental, which was £869, of £250 ; but the Court—considering that 'She would be put to very considerable additional expense by removing the whole family, by travelling expenses, medical charges, and cost of furnishing a new establishment,—thought that a sum of £300 was not unreasonable, and accordingly decerned for a present payment of that amount, with the expenses of the application.
