  • Vivian v Jegon

    29 Jun 1868 LR 3 HL 285, HL

    POWER — Lease.
    THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord Cairns), after stating the nature of the case, said:— The limitations in the will of the testator were, in the first place, limitations to trustees of certain parts of the testator's real estate, which were to be sold by the trustees as soon as might be after his death, for the purpose of providing for the payment of any debts which his personal estate might be insufficient to satisfy; and with regard to all the residue of his real estate, in which was comprised the mineral property in question, the testator devised it in these words:—

  • Orange Sterling Kellett, Clerk v Arabella Kellett

    22 Jun 1868 LR 3 HL 160, HL

    WILL — Revocation — Practice.
    THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord Cairns):— My Lords, two questions have been raised before your Lordships by this appeal with regard to the construction of the will and codicil of the testator in this case. On one of these two questions your Lordships did not desire to hear the Counsel for the Respondent. The nature of that question was this:— [His Lordship here read the directions in the will and codicil as to the house and land at Waterstown, and the plate and furniture, and said:—] My Lords, I think there can be no doubt, and I believe your Lordships entertain

  • Thomas Lucas v William Jackson Rideout

    28 May 1868 LR 3 HL 153, HL

    CONTRACT — Agreement — “Leave the House.”
    THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord Cairns):— My Lords, the agreement, the construction of which is the subject of this appeal, is certainly not expressed with much perspicuity, but I think your Lordships will have no difficulty in arriving at a conclusion as to what is the substantial meaning of the words used. It appears that Mr. Rideout wished to become the possessor of the lease which Mr. Lucas had of this property from Mrs. Lyne Stephens, and, inasmuch as there were certain improvements which had been made in the property, the object was, that while those improvements were paid for, there

  • Conolly v Luscombe (Mooney v Robinson)

    26 May 1868 LR 3 HL 139, HL

    PRACTICE — Costs.
    THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord Cairns):— My Lords, it will be proper that I should remind your Lordships, in the first place, of an objection which was taken in this case on the part of the Respondent to the competency of the appeal. The nature of that objection was this. The original proceeding in the Court of Chancery in Ireland was directed against Mr. Charles Popham Luscombe, who was the executor of Mr. Thomas Popham Luscombe, whose acts were complained of in the proceedings in Ireland. The Cause Petition went on to a hearing, and was dismissed as against that Defendant.

  • Lord Muskerry v Skeffington

    28 May 1868 LR 3 HL 144, HL

    TRUSTS — Practice.
    THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord Cairns):— My Lords, I very greatly regret that in this case, owing to a departure from the established practice of the Court of Chancery, and owing to the irregularity of the parties to the proceedings which were commenced in the Court of Chancery in Ireland, in this case, great expense has been incurred by an Order which your Lordships are now called upon to set right, and which I think you will find it absolutely necessary to set right; and yet with regard to which, the costs, I greatly fear, will not fall upon those who

  • Coltsmann v Coltsmann

    19 May 1868 LR 3 HL 121, HL

    WILL — “Heirs of his Body” — “At my Son's death.”
    May 19. THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord Cairns):— My Lords, on the construction of the will of the testator, if it stood alone and apart from the codicil, no reasonable doubt could, I think, be entertained. He had an estate called Flesk Castle, held for lives renewable for ever, and he had live stock, a library, pictures, plate, and furniture, in and about the castle. He had also an estate in fee simple called Dick's Grove. His son, John Coltsmann, under whom the Appellant claims, was his heir-at-law. In this state of things he gave, by his will, dated the 9th
