"There remains a vast amount of valuable information, both theoretical and practical, upon topics not to be found in any of the recent treatises, which must be carried to the sole credit of Mr. Spence's own original and laborious investigations; and from this results the peculiar character of the book, that it is at once trite and recherché, containing all the stock information on subjects within its scope which may be found in the current text-books, and, superadded to these, the result of THE PRACTICE of the COUNTY COURTS; in Eight an experienced lawyer's researches in neglected paths, and resumés of, Parts:-1.

[For continuation of Gazette, see p. 517]. 29 A POINT which has recently occurred in practice, as to the exclusion of trust estates from a general devise, appears worthy of consideration, as one which is not unlikely to be of frequent occurrence, and is not satisfactorily settled by authority. A testator, after directing that in the first place all his just debts, funeral and testamentary expenses, should be paid, disposed of his personal estate, and then gave all his real estate to A. B. in fee. The testator was seised of real estates as a trustee, and the question was, whether the trust estates passed by the general devise. The general principles applicable to cases of this description are well settled by authority. Since the decision of Lord Braybroke v. Inskip, (8 Ves. 417), which has been followed by a train of similar decisions, it may be taken as clear, that a devise of all a testator's real estate will pass estates vested in him as a trustee, unless there be something in the will from which it may be inferred that he intended to deal only with what was his in equity, as well as at law. It is also well settled, that if the testator deal with the property comprised in the devise in a way in which he cannot deal, or ought not to deal, with property in which he has no beneficial interest, it will be inferred that he did not intend to include trust estates in the general devise. Thus, for instance, if he charges the devised property with his debts, or devises it in trust for sale, which charge and trust he cannot effectually impose on property of which he is only a trustee, the trust estates VICE-CHANCELLOR STUART'S COURT.

So, if he devises the property to uses in strict settlement-a proceeding which, though it would be effectual at law as to trust estates, would be a breach of his duty to his cestui que trust—the trust estates will be held not to pass under the general words. Now, in the above case there can be no doubt that the introductory words of the will would operate as a charge of the testator's debts upon his real estate; and it might, therefore, seem that the case falls clearly within the principle of the cases in which a charge of debts has been held to exclude trust estates from a general devise. It is apprehended, however, that this is by no means clear, and, indeed, that the contrary conclusion is better supported by principle. It should seem, that, to make a charge cut down the natural effect of the general devise, it must appear on the will that it is not less extensive than the devise; for the argument in favour of excluding the trust estates amounts to this "Whatever is comprised in the general devise is subjected to a charge to which the testator had no power to subject what was not his own beneficial property; therefore it must be inferred that he did not intend the general words of devise to apply to estates which he could not so charge." Now, on the construction of the will in question, does it appear that the charge was intended to apply to all the estates which the devise was intended to include? It is apprehended that it does not. The introductory clause does not, in terms, apply to real estate at all; its words, therefore, furnish no indication of intention either way as to trust estates, and the intention must be collected by looking, not to the terms, but to the substance of the clause-to the effect which |
