  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

  13 Mar 1868 LR 3 Ch App 229, CA

  PRACTICE — Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act — Lunatic.
  LORD CAIRNS, L.J.:— I do not say that, as against a purchaser, an order made without the consent of the jurisdiction in Lunacy would be invalid; but, as a general rule, the jurisdiction in Lunacy does not allow anything to be done with the property of a lunatic without its permission.
