Abstract
William Wilkinson died in 1754, leaving a will that divided his estate among his wife, his four daughters and his son, William Mackall Wilkinson. Benjamin Mackall became William's appointed guardian in 1757 when the boy was six years old and served as trustee of his estate for fourteen years. At the end of the term, Mackall paid over to Wilkinson £209, an amount far less than what Wilkinson estimates his share of the estate to be. The petitioner requests a "particular account of the produce and profits" from his trust estate for the years it was controlled by Mackall as well as just compensation.
Result: Granted; appealed; affirmed.
