Finding Against Bank Over Settlement Judgment was delivered by Mr. Justice Morton in favour of Lady Naas in a Chancery Division dispute concerning a settlement, states the "News of the World."
The case was set down as "Westminster Bank Limited v. Noel Jessie Haliburton Wilson (spinster) ana Edward Charles Strauss-Haliburton (an infant."
The first defendant is in fact Lady Naas. As Miss Noel Jessie Haliburton Wilson, she married Lord Maas, son and heir of the Earl of Mayo, in London, in July last year.
The bank claimed £121 19s. id, said to be due by her as an overdraft.
Mr. Justice Morton stated the real contest related to a counter-claim.
He added: "In February, 1923, a deed was made between a gentleman, to whom I shall refer as the settlor, and Miss Wilson to pay her during her life, with certain stipulations, a clear sum of £10 a week, payable in advance."
After various payments had been made the settlor made a settlement.
He gave to the bank scrip for £15,- 000 India 4% per cent. stock, with later instructions to pay out of the accumulations of income a quarterly sum of £130 to Miss Wilson.
