  COTTON, L.J.:— This is an appeal from the judgment of Vice-Chancellor Bacon upon a summons taken out under the Vendor and Purchaser Act, whereby his Lordship decided that the purchasers were not entitled to insist on their contract, because, having regard to what passed between the parties, the vendor had properly exercised a power of rescinding the contract, which had been given to him by one of the conditions of sale.

  GIFT — Donatio mortis causâ — Cheque payable to Donor or Order.
  CHITTY, J.:— I have no doubt about this case. The subject-matter was not the testator's own cheque, but was his property, being the cheque of another man, which he had taken for value. In Byles on Bills it is stated that a cheque drawn by the donor upon his own banker cannot be the subject of a donatio mortis causâ, because the death of the drawer is a revocation of the banker's authority to pay.
