49. MORTGAGE.-A. having advanced B. a sum of money on mortgage of his property, went to America taking the title-deeds of the property, including the His mortgage-deed, with him, and died in America. widow took out letters of administration in America, and she and the eldest son have now returned to

England and require payment of principal and interest, and have joined in selling the property, but refuse to take out letters of administration to the mortgagee in England, contending that the mortgage-deed being in America when the mortgagee died, the money was personal estate in America and not in England where the land is. I shall be obliged if some of your experienced readers would give me their opinion as to whether an English administration is wanted, and the best course to pursue on behalf of a purchaser. W. H. Z.

50. COPYHOLDS-STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.-Under an Inclosure Act and award thereupon, made more than forty years since, a common was divided amongst copy. holders in respect of their ancient lands being copyhold. In the case in question some of the allottees (their allotments having been very small) have never been admitted in respect of their allotments, and there are no tenants in respect thereof on the roll. One person has been and continues in possession of the lands, which, according to the plan attached to the award, represent the spot whereon these allotments had been made, but no fences now exist (as represented on the award plan) for upwards of forty years. tion is, would a possessory title of twenty or forty years oust the claims of the lord, and without his intervention enable the owner in possession to convey to a purchaser? Could a title be given by aid of the Statute of Limitations? Jones v. Jones, 16 L. J. Ex. 299, seems so far in point, but does not touch upon the ouster of the lord's rights. Note, the person in question is dead, and is now represented by his devisees; it is not known how he originally got into possession. In what way could the present owners least expensively convey to pur

chaser ?

52. ISSUE OF MY BODY-WILL. — ·Observing among your correspondence of last week several opinions as to the legal effect of the word" issue" in construing gifts of personal estate, I should be much obliged to any correspondent who would tell me the effect of a devise of real estate contained in a will before the year 1838. the use of "the issue of my body" following a limitation to my eldest son for life, with remainder to his first and other sons in tail male. Do the issue take for life in tail, or in fee? In severalty according to the ordinary rules of descent, or in common or joint tenancy, and in the latter case would males and females take together, and children with or without parents living either per stirpes or per capita, and would the class of takers be ascertained at the death of the testator, or not until the failure of the preceeding limitations in tail. S. B. E.

53. PAPERS OF A DECEASED ATTORNEY.--To whom belong the drafts of deeds and other documents, whether to the client or the attorney who prepared them? A. (an attorney) gets from a deceased attorney's office drafts of deeds prepared by the deceased for his clients. B. (another attorney) asks A. by letter if he has certain of these drafts, which B. says are wanted as secondary evidence in an action, and if A. has them, B. says he will serve him with a duces tecum to produce sare. Ought A., who is not the attorney in any way in the action, to admit that he has them ? And when served with a duces tecum has he any privilege to claim for not producing them in court? It would be difficult and almost impossible without time (within which process to produce might be served) to find out the respective clients or their legal representatives, if handing over the documents in question to them should be advised. What ought A. to do and at same time treat B. with courtesy?

54. WILL-PROOF.-Would any of your numerous readers inform me whether it is necessary to prove a will and codicil where real property is devised by A. to B., and afterwards A. executes a codicil to his will whereby he revokes all his former devises in his will except the devise to B? J. H.

Answers.

(Q. 30.) APPRENTICESHIP.-I am obliged by "G. J.'s" remarks upon my auswer to this query, and I have care. fully reconsidered the subject, but cannot alter the opinion I before expressed. It is expressly stated in the Act, sect. 2, that the term "employed" shall include an "apprentice or other person, whether under the age of twenty-one years, or above that age, who has entered into a contract of service with any employer, and the words contract of service' shall include any contract, whether in writing or by parol, to serve for any period of time, or to execute any work, and any indenture or contract of apprenticeship, whether such contract or indenture was executed before or after the passing of this Act."

W. H. F.

(Q.36.) MORTGAGE-POWER OF SALE.-A sale made in exercise of an express power must be strictly in accordance with its terms. For instance, a sale would be set aside if it was by private contract when the power is confined to a sale by public auction; but not so for neg.

(Q. 41.) MARRIED WOMAN-REAL PROPERTY.-I think the answer of "W. H. F." is not correct. The child may possibly be entitled to bear the name of the second husband, but I am of opinion that she would legally be considered as the child of the first husband, and entitled to share as parcener with the other daughter Blackstone lays it down (citing Co. Litt. 8), that, if a man dies and his widow soon after marries again, and a child is born within such a time as that, by the course of nature, it might have been the child of either husband, in this case he is said to be more than ordinarily discretion, choose which of the fathers he pleases: legitimate; for he may, when he arrives to years of (1 Bl. Com. 456.) But Justice Coleridge adds, “Brooke," says Mr. Hargrave, "In his note on the passage cited, questions this doctrine, from which it seems as if he thought it reasonable that the circumstance of the case instead of the choice of the issue should determine who is the father." Now, in the case stated, it appears that the child being born about a month after the second marriage, could not, in the course of nature, have been the child of the second husband, and consequently must be legally regarded as the child of the first whichever of the two authorities is correct? The act of the mother cannot disinherit the child. E. H. B.

(Q. 44.) APPOINTMENT OF NEW TRUSTEES-EXERCISE OF POWER.-Presuming that the deed appointing D. as a trustee in the stead of B. was properly drawn and executed, there can be no doubt that such appointment was a valid execution of the power contained in the will, and that the legal estate is effectually vested in D., who has therefore a good right and full power to sell, if such was the nature of the trusts declared by the testator. W. H. F.

Quoting from "Urlin's Office of Trustee," the question how far the appointment of more or fewer trustees than the original number will be supported? is not capable of an easy answer. It may, perhaps, be broadly stated that unless there be some expression in the power, showing that an increase or diminution in the number was contemplated, the same number ought to be continued. It is certain that the court will not approve of trust property, which was originally vested in two trustees, being placed within the power of a single trustee (Hulme v. Hulme, 2 My. & K. 682) "The court never commits a trust to the care of a single trustee" (Lord Romilly, M.R., 35 Beav. 19); and, generally speaking, it may also be assumed that one vacancy cannot, with propriety, be supplied by more than one trustee.

On carefully weighing the language of the power in the case submitted by "Querist," it seems clear, to my mind, that such power contains words showing that an increase or diminution in the number of trustees was contemplated, and this being so, the power was in that respect rightly exercised by B.'s appointing but one trustee. But the chief question seems to be whether B., as a retiring trustee, could exercise a power conferred upon the surviving or continuing trustee. Lord Romilly, in the case of Stone v. Rowton, 17 Beav. 308, 1 Eq. R. 427, held that a power conferred upon surviving or continuing trustees or trustee, could not be exercised by trustees who were retiring. Yet, in a case before the late Vice-Chancellor Parker, two trustees had been appointed by a will but only one of them survived the testator, and afterwards this surviving trustee disclaimed the trust, but by the same deed exercised a power given to him by the will of appointing new trustees, and the appointment was upheld: (Hadley v. Hadley, 5 De G. & S. 67.) And in a late case the survivor of four trustees being desirous of quitting the trust, was held to be authorised in appointing four new trustees under the words of the power: (Camoys v. Best, 19 Beav. 414. On both points I am inclined to think that the power has been rightly exercised, and that if the trust property has been duly conveyed and assigned to and vested in the new trustee, he alone has a good and unimpeachable right and title to, and full power to sell and convey such trust property.

J. P.

SOLD.-This residuary return will be very simple. All (Q. 46.) LEGACY DUTIES-REAL ESTATE DIRECTED TO BE that is now requisite to be done is to get the realty valued, and insert such value in the account (annexing valuation in the usual way). When the widow dies an amended return must be made, and if the realty has not been then disposed of, and has altered in value, such new value must be stated in the account. It being a rule that legacy duty should be paid on the value of both real and personal estate, unconverted, as it stands at the time the account is rendered. If the value at the widow's death remains or happens to be same as when the first return is made, all that will be necessary to be done will be to deal with the amount of residue only, as shown in such first return, deducting therefrom any legacies which may be then payable, and also the additional executorship expenses consequent on the management and winding-up of the estate. J. F.

- I must admit that I cannot quite understand this query, why, under the circumstances, legacy duty should be demanded; but I would mention for "Lex's guidance that where real estate was given to trustees upon trust to be sold, and the profits to be deemed part of the residue of the testator's estate, or go in aid, if necessary, of the rest of his property in discharge of the pecuniary legacy given by his will, it was held that such bequest was liable to legacy duty, although the trustee did not convert it into money, and the residuary legatee took the property in statu quo: Attorney-General v. Holford, 1 Price 26; see also 16 & 17 Vict. c. 51, ss. 21, 22, 29.) W. H. F.

(Q.47.) COUNTY COURT-BILL OF EXCHANGE-SUMMONS. -If the Bill be in the hands of the creditor over due and dishonoured, he has his remedy either on the bill, or the original debt. He can therefore, upon the proper affidavit, enter a plaint and obtain a special summons under sect. 2 of the 30 & 31 Vict. c. 142, for the value of the goods sold, provided they were sold to the defendant to be dealt with in the way of trade. I am not aware of any rule authorising the registrar to demand

a duplicate of the above affidavit, but as it is so very short it is not a matter of much consequence. W. H. F.

(Q.48.) LEGACY DUTY-CONTINGENT LEGACY.-A legacy given subject to any contingency which may defeat the gift is nevertheless to be charged with duty as an absolute bequest, and the duty is to be paid out of the capital of such legacy; and should the contingency afterwards happen, and the legacy go to one liable to a higher rate of duty, such legatee is to pay the difference, 36 Geo. 3, c. 52, s. 17. The executor will, of course, not pay over the legacy itself unless he receives a sufficient security from the party to protect himself against any future contingent demand that may arise. See Simmons v. Bolland, 3 Mer. 547, and Allnutt's Practice, 4th edit. p. 362. W. H. F.

two hours.

"Your committee have held 8 meetings during the session, and have carefully considered 39 legal questions, of which 21 have been approved for for debate.

"Mr. C. M. Warmington obtained the Studentship awarded by the Council of Legal Education, in Michaelmas Term 1868.

the matter of obsolete endowments, as, for instance, in the case of the fund for the rescue of Algerine prisoners. The State should decide that no one should be permitted to make a bequest capable of remaining in a permanent state. He would suggest that persons should invest their money in Government funds rather than private ones.

LORD STANLEY ON POSTHUMOUS DISPOSI TIONS OF PROPERTY.-Lord Stanley presided over a meeting held in the rooms of the Society of Arts, the object of the meeting being to discuss a paper on the above subject, contributed and read by Mr. Arthur Hobhouse, Q.C. His Lordship said he should agree there had been much abuse in the management of public charities; that they should have the power of reforming abuses; that they had hitherto manifested too scrupulous an adherence to the dictates of the founders of these charities. He did not think anyone would contend there was not a right inherent in the State to interfere in the government of a charity whose objects had been abused. There was a wide difference between saying the State could have control over the property, and also could interfere where it was not necessary. The fact that a man desired to leave his property to any special object was a very natural wish. The state ought to assert its power by BARROWS, JESSE, corn dealer, Birmingham. Pet. June 30. Reg.
