• Ricketts v Lewis

  03 Apr 1882 20 ChD 745, Ch D

  ADMINISTRATOR — Power to mortgage Leaseholds of Intestate — Repairs.
  FRY, J., after referring to the deed of the 30th of June, 1869, and the recital in it above stated, continued:— The question is whether there is a valid charge of the £100 on the entirety of the property. The deed was executed thirty-six years after the death of the intestate.

  BILL OF EXCHANGE — Accepted but not signed by Drawer — Death of Acceptor.
