• Bristow v Skirrow

  23 Apr 1870 LR 10 Eq 1, Equity

  POWER — Appointment by Will — Destination of Property ineffectually appointed.
  LORD ROMILLY, M.R.:— I feel no doubt about this case. I think the words of Mrs. Hutchinson's will are perfectly distinct, and that the effect is exactly the same as if she had omitted all mention of those two charities. She has given the residue of her property expressly to three charities — St. George's Hospital, which is competent to take, and two other charities, which by law are incompetent to take this leasehold estate, and therefore I must take her will as perfectly silent as to those two charities, and regard it as if there was no disposition whatever

• Forrest v Prescott

  27 Jul 1870 LR 10 Eq 545, Equity

  WILL — Charge of debts on real estate — Exoneration of Personal Estate.
  SIR R. MALINS, V.C.:— The scheme of this will is to make a complete division of the real estate between the families of the testatrix's two daughters. Then, by her codicil, she recites the liability she had incurred for the debts, not of herself, but of her son-in-law, Justin McCarty; and there is nothing more probable than that she should intend those debts to be paid out of that estate which she had given to the McCarty family. It is said on the one side that the object expressed in the codicil is, as between the two moieties of the

• Whiting v Burke

  27 Jul 1870 LR 10 Eq 539, Equity

  15 Mar 1871 LR 6 Ch App 342, CA

  BOND — Co-sureties — Sureties by separate Instruments.
  SIR W. M. JAMES, L.J.:— This appeal entirely fails. The original bond contained a very stringent provision, that no arrangement whatever between the principal debtor and creditor, as to giving time to the debtor or one of the sureties, should release the other surety — a provision perhaps not unreasonable, because the giving of time usually operates in favour of the sureties. Then the Plaintiff signed an instrument, professing in terms to be made by way of additional security, for payment of the bond “according to the tenor thereof” - that is, the Plaintiff says: “You have now only one
