case ex part WHIIFIELD June see in re marquis of Salisbury and the  ecclesiastical commissioner Ch d the court upon ex part application may allow  maintenance for a infant where no cause be depend it be at the peril of a  guardian in socage what he apply for maintenance the court have not a  jurisdiction to appoint a receiver unless a cause be depend the jurisdiction  the court exercise as to idiot and lunatic be a particular one when this  petition be former hear I have a doubt whether the court can upon ex part  application allow a maintenance for a infant where no cause be depend for it  be at the peril of a guardian in socage what he apply for maintenance and he  will be allow accord to the discretion he have use and therefore I direct it  to stand over for precedent two have be leave with I in case which come before  the late master of the roll sir Joseph Jekyll July ex part Odel a petition for  a guardian maintenance and a receiver and there be no cause depend before the  court and yet the court direct accord to the prayer of the petition this order  seem to go too far in appoint a receiver for suppose the court as a proper  incident for a guardian shall direct a master to see what be necessary for  maintenance yet the court have not a jurisdiction to appoint a receiver unless  a cause be depend anon ante vol the case of idiot atkins er p and lunatic have  be insist on as a similar case but the jurisdiction which the court exercise  with respect to they be a particular one and therefore not like the present  atkins the second precedent be on August ex part peploe before sir Joseph  Jekyll it be a petition to appoint a guardian and for maintenance and the  court direct accord I have be look into case and find one in point lady tenham  versus Barret bro p c and Edward bro p c sub nom Teynham v Lennard there be a  petition to Lord Macclesfield in December and afterward go upon a appeal to  the house of lord April there lady tenham the mother of the infant be a papist  the young gentleman be entitle to two great estate and to a barony in fee and  therefore incumbent upon the court to take care of his education that he may  be bring up a protestant the grandfather of the infant be name by the court  but be very old and refuse to accept of it Mr sergeant baines as recommend by  he be appoint guardian and it be further direct that a master shall examine  what lady tenham will allow for maintenance and whether her offer will be  suitable to his rank she appeal from this order to the house of lord and  insist upon the guardianship after long debate they confirm Lord macclesfield  order except with this variation that instead of sergeant baines be guardian  the grandfather shall be appoint because a stranger be not so proper to be  trust with it it come before the house of lord likewise upon the order make on  the master report where he have report pound per and as proper for maintenance  and the lord confirm Lord macclesfield order in this respect likewise so here  be a precedent in point where maintenance have be allow upon the authority of  Lord Macclesfield and the house of lord notwithstanding there be no cause  depend there may be a great convenience in application of this kind because it  may be a sort of check upon infant with regard to their behaviour and it may  be a inducement to person of worth to accept of the guardianship when they  have the sanction of this court for any thing they do on account of  maintenance which otherwise will be at their own peril and likewise of use in  save the expense of a suit to a infant estate Reg lib b fol vide ex part  Thomas Amb ex part ken bro Charles can ex part salt bro cham Rep in which last  case all the authority here mention by Lord Hardwicke be examine with the  register book
