Bill of Complaint 26 July 1838. To the Right Honourable Charles Christopher Baron Cottenham of Cottenham in county of Cambridge Lord High Chancellor: Humbly complaining your orators infants under 21 years namely Elizabeth Frances Ahmuty of about 8 years and Christopher Rigby Ahmuty of about 6 years by Christopher Gerard Rigby Collins of Sidmouth Devon their next friend. Defendants William Somerville Ahmuty, Edith Ahmuty and Charles Henry Moore.

12 January 1839. Answer of William Somerville Ahmuty and Edith Ahmuty. Summary. These defendants admit Thomas Arthur Staples Ahmuty published his last Will and Testament dated 22 October 1832 with three codicils and that Frances Ahmuty proved his Will with power reserved to Charles Henry Moore. Frances Ahmuty as executrix held all personal estate and transferred into the names of herself and Charles Henry Moore £9899.5s.8d. 3% consolidated annuities in the testator’s name in the books of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England to answer the legacy settled on William Ahmuty, his wife Edith and their children. Frances Ahmuty departed this life October 1836 and the sole executor having renounced probate William Somerville Ahmuty was granted admon by the proper Ecclesiatical Court and is now the legal personal representative. Since the death of Frances Ahmuty the other defendant Charles Henry Moore has proved the testator’s Will and is now the legal representative. The defendants have had only two children Elizabeth Frances Ahmuty and Christopher Rigby Ahmuty and say William Somerville Ahmuty the father is unable to maintain and educate them according to their station in society and that these defendants are necessary parties to this suit as they have an interest in said annuities and the residuary estate.

12 December 1838. Answer of Charles Henry Moore sworn at the Public Office, Southampton Buildings Middx. Summary. This defendant believes Thomas Arthur Staples Ahmuty the testator departed this life not the 5 July 1833 but the 4 July 1833 and left surviving his widow Frances Ahmuty, son William Somerville Ahmuty (in the Will called William Ahmuty) and wife Edith. This defendant willing to act as a trustee but not in the excutorship and Thomas Harvey Baber also an executor and trustee believed to be still resident in the East Indies and therefore Frances Ahmuty alone proved the testator’s Will in England and Ireland. This defendant (in the Will called Charles Moore) admits Frances Ahmuty transferred £9899.5s.8d into their joint names and paid all legacies save that of Thomas Harvey Baber believed not payable in consequence of his not acting as a trustee. On 20 July last Arbuthnot & Latham of Great Saint Helens, Bishopsgate Street London transferred into his name as trustee £5186.5s.5d comprising £4941.15s 6d from two Bengal Remittable Loan Notes and dividends transmitted from India under power of attorney from Frances Ahmuty. Two Schedules annexed hereto to be taken as part of his Answer set forth according to the best of his knowledge and belief a full true and particular account of all the funds and securities upon which the residue of the testator’s personal estate and effects were invested and how he has applied and disposed of same. This defendant has a copy of Frances Ahmuty’s executorial account and divers others of particulars but the testator's books and papers always remained in her custody and he never had in his possession any books of account letters copies or extracts from letters papers documents entries memorandums writings relating to the testator’s personal estate. He did not prove the testator’s Will or act as executor during the lifetime of Frances Ahmuty but since her death and at the request of the Complainants’ solicitors has proved the Will in the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury being the proper Ecclesiastical Court. As surviving trustee he will act as this Honorable Court shall direct upon being indemnified and receiving his costs charges and expenses in this behalf incurred. This defendant submits to the judgement of this Court whether William Somerville Ahmuty the father of the Complainants is unable to maintain and educate his children according to their station in society and that William Somerville Ahmuty and his wife are necessary parties to this suit as they have an interest in said annuities and residuary estate. Without this there is no other matter cause or thing in the Bill of Complaint that has not been hereby well and sufficiently answered and this defendant is ready and willing to aver and prove as this Honorable Court shall direct and humbly prays to be hence dismissed with his reasonable costs and charges about his suit in this behalf most wrongfully sustained. Charles Henry Moore. George Lake Russell.
