“The discharge of the petitioner to the charge of the executors alleged that the REv. THomas Conway was a member of the Order⟳ of Saint Dominic, and that is not denied; and the said discharge further stated that the said legacy to the Rev. Thomas Conway was in trust⟳ for the sole use⟳ and benefit of the members of the Order⟳ of Saint Dominic, and was void. The Rev. P. T. Conway, by his charge, states- "That chargeant has read⟳ that portion of the petitioner's discharge in this matter⟳, which impeaches the said bequest to this chargeant on the ground that the said legacy was left to this chargeant upon trust⟳, that he would take⟳ and apply⟳ same for the maintenance and support⟳, or for the use⟳ and benefit of the members of the Order⟳ of Saint Dominic resident in the United Kingdom, and chargeant saith that no trust⟳, save⟳ as hereinafter mentioned, was imposed upon chargeant in relation to the said bequest—that is to say⟳, that he, the testator, had a conversation with chargeant, who informed him that he had bequeathed, or would bequeath, to chargeant the sum of £500, and that the said sum was, or would be, so bequeathed to chargeant, […]”

“Every charge and discharge shall be verified by the affidavit of the chargeant and dischargeant respectively, unless the Court shall otherwise allow⟳.”
