Opinion
The CouRT (ThRüston, J., absent,) appointed Dr. Laurie, committee. The Act of Maryland, 1785, c. 72, § 6, authorizes the Chancellor to superintend the affairs of lunatics, and to appoint a committee, &c., but does not direct the mode of ascertaining who are lunatics. This must be done by a writ in the nature of a writ de lunático inquirendo, which issues by order of the Court upon affidavit.
