Case for opinion of Counsel in respect of the estate of Ann Davies, dec. with comments thereon, by J. Boyle of the Temple, [London]. The document states that Hugh Lloyd of Llwyd jack, co. Card., esq., dec. prior to the year 1779, leaving his wife, Mary, and his daughters, Ann and Mary, him surviving and in possession of his realty, called Ystrad and Llwyd jack. In 1779 the estates were divided between the widow and the children and charged with certain annuities to be paid thereout. The widow dec. soon after, and Ann, the daughter, married John Davies, by whom she had no issue. Mary dec. intestate and her share in the estates vested in her sister, Ann, who mortgaged the property to Mr Touchet Davies of Crickhowell, near Brecon, who had been in possession of the property for 26 years. In Nov. 1822 Ann, by her will, bequeathed the whole of her personalty to her niece, Mrs Mary Ann Hyde, who considers herself entitled to the said property; she is first cousin to Pugh's wife. It is asserted that Touchet Davies has felled enough timber on the estate to satisfy his principal and interest, exclusive of the rents received by him, which amount to £952.14s.
