This Case being in the Chancery between the Parishioners and Rolt, was re∣ferred by the Court to Hobart and Tanfield; and they resolved clearly, that it was within the Relief of the Sta∣tute of 43 Eliz. for tho' the Devise was utterly void, yet it was within the Words, [limited and appointed to charitable Uses.] Otherwise, if he were an Infant Luna∣tick, or the like, that gave it, or that one appointed that that were not his own, to charitable Uses.
