Tbat all of said property is in the hands of trustees nnder deed of trm* for fhe settietnent of iudebtedness existir.g prior to the birth of said minor, and tbat, from tbe nature of the estate, it ia necessar>- that a yonnger person. and one who will risit and carefuily attend to aud inspect ali tbe lands and )ive stock, should be appointed. That the stock rango over an extensive tract of countiy, and the trareling over and inspoction wrli necessarily be the caose of great bodily fatigne.
