To His Worship Richard Jebb Vicar General
The humble petition of Robert Oates of Ballahonna in the parish of Michael. 
Sheweth:
That in the month of August last past your petitioners mother Mrs Mary Oates departed 
this life having first day of January 1861 duly made and executed a Deed of Settlement 
or Gift whereby she conveyed to your petitioner for certain considerations in the said 
deed set forth the whole of her remaining property real and personal and upon her death 
there being still several out standing debts due in her name it became necessary that 
administration of her esate should be granted to your petitioner in order to recover 
such debts the said Mary Oates never having acquired one farthing of property after 
the granting of such Deed your petitioner at a Chapter Court holden at Kirk Michael 
on the 30th day of January last past applied for administration of the estate of 
the said Mary Oates when Thomas C.Callow Esquire advocate as your petiitioner 
understand without any authority entered an appearance for Thomas Killip of the 
parish of Ballaugh and Elizabeth his wife who is a daughter of the said Mary Oates 
to resist the granting of administration to your petitioner when your worship was 
pleased that the said administration should lie over until next court. That your 
petitioner submits that he is entitled to the administration of the estate of the 
said Mary Oates she not having acquired any property whatever after the making of 
the said Deed of the 1st day of January 1851 or at all events such other limited 
administation as would reduce the outstanding estate in her name conveyed to him 
by the said Deed of the 1st day of January 1861 into his possession.

Wherefore your petitiioner prays a hearing hereof and that adminisration of the 
estate of the said Mary Oates may be granted to your petitioner in such form and 
manner as to your worship may seem meet and that he be indemnified in his costs 
and he will pray.
