  • Harvey v Bradley

    07 Mar 1867 LR 4 Eq 13, Equity

    PRACTICE — Suit charging wilful default after decree — Supplemental Bill in nature of Bill of Review.
    LORD ROMILLY, M.R.:— This is a bill filed by a widow, complaining that the Defendants, the executors of the testator, did not enforce payment of a debt of £500 against the estate of George Harvey, contracted some twenty years ago. At the time when it appears by the evidence it was to be paid, he could have paid but a very small portion of it, if anything at all. But then it was said there were three sureties, and the executors might have enforced payment of the debt against the sureties. She complains that they did not do that. Her

    WILL — Codicil — Revocation of Bequest of Share of Residue.
    LORD CAIRNS L.C.:— I have a strong impression, and it is always unsatisfactory to have such an impression, that if the legal effect of the words which the testator was using had been pointed out to him, he would have made a different disposition by this codicil. With that, however, I have nothing to do, and I have only to put a proper construction upon the words which he has used, according to the authorities. The cases are clear, that if there is a devise or bequest of residue to a number of persons nominatim as tenants in common, and

  • Mathews v Mathews

    18 Apr 1867 LR 4 Eq 278, Equity

    WILL — Devise — Construction of the Word “Freehold.”
    SIR W. PAGE WOOD, V.C.:— This case is certainly a doubtful one; but I think there is enough to justify me in saying that the whole interest in this property passes by this devise. From the whole will it is apparent that in this passage the testator is not describing the amount of his estate and interest in the particular part of his property referred to. It appears that $here is part of the property, the subject of this devise, of which he is owner in fee, in other part he has only a leasehold interest. But in this particular
