      from the Church of England , and the extent to which they prevailed among the trustees and objects of the charity . The defendants declined to answer these interrogatories , on the ground that as they related to religious opinion , it was not competent for this court to put them , and they were not bound to answer .

      Objections were likewise taken to them for their vagueness , and the impossibility of answering some of them . Two sets of exceptions had been taken to their answer , one consisting of fifteen exceptions , and the other of thirteen , and the Vice-Chancellor allowed the exceptions , being of opinion that the interrogatories were regular .

      Sir E . Sugten and Mr . Romilly , on the other side , maintained that there was no necessity in the present stage of the cause to go into the question of the liability of the trustees to be questioned upon matters of religious faith . The defendants had no right to urge their objections , as they had submitted to answer , and were bound to answer the

      statements and interrogatories contained in the bill , unless their characters would be injured by it . There could be no doubt that Lady Hewley never contemplated any thing so repugnant to her principles as that the charity should get into the hands of Unitarians . She left a strict injunction that the Apostles '

      Creed should be read 1 t > y the godly persons , and that Bowles ' s Catechism , which contained many doctrines inimical to Unitarian ism , should be used by them . These injunctions had , however , been disregarded by those who had of late years managed the charity . Sir C . Wethereli replied .

      His Lordship postponed his decision , and in the course of the argument expressed his regret that the trustees had opposed the interrogatories so far , as it would have been better for the charity if the questions at issue had been raised with greater facility .
