   Ordered that the master’s report be confirmed, except in the following particulars. Several unimportant particulars are stated in the order, but there were two of a peculiar kind which merit notice. The testator had left a large estate-, and a numerous family, consisting of a widow and many children, some of whom were adults,, and some of them minors. During the- troubles and confusion of the war, Thomas anil Edward Fenwick, two of the testator’s sons and legatees, had taken and removed come of the negroes of the estate, and appropriated and disposed of them to their own use. They then went and remained out of the jurisdiction of the court. '
