the theory in question asserts, that, in this respect, the old law has not been changed. The act we have cited, however, draws a distinction between the heirs of the testator and the heirs of his ancestor, and implies that lands will devolve on the heir of the owner only when he has not become entitled by descent; and when he has become entitled by descent, they will always devolve on the heir of his ancestor, (the purchaser). The heir of a person must always mean his heir as such, and not as heir to anybody else, unless the context shews a contrary intention.

It seems clear, therefore, that, when Parliament enacted, that, in every case, descent shall be traced from the purchaser, and explained descent to mean "the title to inherit land by reason of consanguinity," that it intended to enact, that, in every case, the purchaser only should be the stock of descent, to whose heirs, as such, all hereditaments should descend; and that it did not intend to enact, that, in every case, the title should be traced from the same person as before the act, but that such persons should be his heirs as would have been entitled if the title to inherit had been traced from the purchaser.

The latter view of the case seems, however, to have been suggested through fear of some inconveniences with respect to "assets by descent," which might arise from the adoption of the more obvious construction. It may, therefore, perhaps, be desirable, first, to give a short statement of the doctrine of the common law on this subject, and, secondly, to consider what alterations have been made by the Act to amend the Law of Inheritance.

At the common law, then, whenever any person bound his heirs by any deed, specially executed for the purpose, to pay a debt or perform a contract, the heir of such person was liable to pay the debt or to perform the contract to the extent of the value of the hereditaments which descended from such person to the heir, but no further. If the heir was not bound by deed, or if no hereditaments descended to him from the person who executed the deed, he was under no liability, because he had no assets by descent; that is, he had not enough (assez) descended to him to render him liable. This being the state of the law, it was soon decided, that, if a person bound his heirs by deed to pay a debt, and lands of sufficient value descended from him to his heir, it was not competent to the heir to avoid his liability, by neglecting or refusing to enter upon the lands. (Year-book, 42 Edw. 3. 10 b). In such a case the heir might have obtained an actual seisin at his will, and it was, consequently, just that his liability should not be defeated by his own obstinacy or neglect; but until entry it is evident that the heir had only a seisin in law. Hereditaments, therefore, of which the heir had only a seisin in law, were assets by descent to answer to debts of the ancestor from whom they descended, if such debts were secured by specialty binding his heirs.

But, supposing the heir should himself have died before he had taken possession of the lands, and should in his lifetime have executed specialties binding his heirs to the payment of debts, the question then arose whether the next heir was liable or not to pay such debts in respect of the lands descended to him. And it was determined that such next heir was under no liability to pay such debts; for the maxim was, "Seisina facit stipitem;" and, as the mesne or intermediate heir had not been actually seised, the descent was traced to the next heir, not from the mesne heir as the stock of descent, but from the ancestor who was last seised. In this case, therefore, the last heir was not bound to pay the debts of his immediate predecessor, because the lands which descended did not descend from him, but from the ancestor last seised. So that, if there had been a grandfather, father, and son, and the grandfather had

died seised of lands in fee simple, and the father had bound himself and his heirs in a bond, and had then died before entering on the lands, the son would not have been bound, in respect of these lands, to pay his father's bond debt, because he "made himself heir to," or traced his descent from, his grandfather, who was last seised. (Hale, MSS.; Co. Litt. 11. b., n. (3)).

If the lands had been in the occupation of a tenant for years, the case would have been different; for the possession of every tenant for years is, in the eye of the law, the actual possession of the freeholder, even though the latter should get no rent. In such a case, therefore, the father, or mesne heir, would have been considered as actually seised, and the lands would, on his death, have descended to the son as his (the father's) heir, and not as heir to the grandfather. Such lands, therefore, would have constituted assets by descent, in respect of which the son would have been bound to pay his father's debts secured by bond in which his heirs were bound. (Bushby v. Dixon, 3 B. & C. 298).

If the lands had been let to a tenant for the term of his life, another state of circumstances would have arisen. The tenant having an estate of freehold would have been seised of the lands, and nothing would have been left to descend but a reversion expectant on this estate. This reversion, however, was itself an estate of inheritance in lands, vested in the owner, grantable by deed with the tenant's attornment, and possessing a value as actual property. It was accordingly considered as assets by descent; that is, if the lessor had bound his heirs in an obligation or bond, the heir of the lessor was liable on the bond to the value of the reversion which descended from his ancestor to him. (See Tyndal v. Warre, Jac. 212). In this case no question could arise as to the heir's liability in case of his neglecting to obtain actual seisin; for the seisin of the land belonged to the tenant for life, and whilst he was thus seised no one else could be. The heir of the reversioner who had granted the lease was at once liable to the debt in respect of the reversion which descended from his ancestor.

Suppose, however, that the heir, whilst the reversion was thus vested in him, had himself entered into a bond, in which he had bound his heirs to the payment of money. The reversion vested in him was evidently, to all intents and purposes, his own property. It would have been bound by his judgment debts; (Giffard v. Barber, 2 Cru. Dig., tit. "Reversion," s. 38; S. C., 4 Vin. Abr. 451; 1 Ves. sen. 174); but what was the law with respect to his bond? The law was this: that the reversion was not assets to render the next heir liable on such bond. (Watk. Descents, 118, 4th ed.; Giffard v. Barber, ubi supra). And why? Simply because the descent of the reversion was traced, on the heir's decease, not from him, but from the original lessor. The maxim "Seisina facit stipitem" could not apply; for the tenant for life alone was seised, and the original ancestor, consequently, still continued to be the stock of descent. The next heir, therefore, though he had the reversion as assets by descent, had it not by descent from the mesne heir, but from the original ancestor. To such ancestor's debts he certainly was liable, but not to the debts of any intermediate heir in whom the reversion might have vested in its course of descent from the original ancestor.

Let us now endeavour to apply these principles to the altered state of things produced by the Act for the Amendment of the Law of Inheritance, (3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 106). This act enacts, that, in every case, descent shall be traced from the purchaser, (sect. 2); and it explains descent to mean " the title to inherit land by reason of consanguinity." (Sect. 1). The title of every heir to inherit is, therefore, to be traced from the purchaser. This we have considered to be equivalent to saying, in the language of the old books, that the person

to inherit must "make himself heir" to the purchaser, or that the purchaser is to be "the stock of descent." To this, however, it is objected, that, according to this interpretation, lands which have been inherited will not be assets by descent. The gist of the objection seems to be this: that lands of which the heir was seised, which he enjoyed during his lifetime, and might have disposed of by deed or will, will yet, on his decease, descend to the next heir of the purchaser discharged from any liability at law in respect of the bond debts of the intermediate heir. No doubt, this must be admitted as a result of our construction of the enactment. But it will be seen that such a consequence is not an inconvenience altogether unknown to the law as it stood before the passing of the act. A reversion expectant on an estate of freehold was then in the same predicament as an estate in possession is now. The reversion was real property belonging to the heir, and vested in him; and yet it was not assets to pay his bond debts, because the descent of it was not traced from him, but from his ancestor. Surely, then, it is better to adopt the plain and obvious meaning of the act, than to wrest its language for the purpose of avoiding an inconvenience, which in some cases existed before.

Practically, however, the inconvenience in question does not seem to have any existence; for, at the same time that the act passed for the amendment of the law of inheritance, was passed the "Act to render Freehold and Copyhold Estates Assets for the Payment of simple Contract Debts," 3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 104. This act enacts, that, "where any person shall die seised of or entitled to any estate or interest in lands, tenements, or hereditaments, corporeal or incorporeal, or other real estate, whether freehold, customaryhold, or copyhold, which he shall not, by his last will, have charged with or devised subject to the payment of his debts, the same shall be assets, to be administered in courts of equity, for the payment of the just debts of such persons, as well debts due on simple contract as on specialty." This act, it will be remarked, merely requires a dying seised of or entitled to the lands, in order to render them assets for the payment of the debts of the owner. This act, therefore, appears to have obviated all the inconvenience in this respect which the act to amend the law of inheritance would otherwise have caused. Whether the property in question be an estate in possession or reversion, the mere circumstance of the heir having died seised of or entitled to it will render it assets to be administered in equity for the payment of his debts. If, therefore, creditors, having bonds binding the heirs of their deceased debtor, are deprived by the Act to amend the Law of Inheritance of their legal remedy, in respect of lands which descended to such debtor, the act of even date gives them instead a remedy in equity. And this remedy is equal to their former remedy at law; for the act provides, that, in the administration of assets by courts of equity, under the act, all creditors by specialty in which the heirs are bound shall be paid the full amount of the debts due to them, before any of the creditors by simple contract or by specialty in which the heirs are not bound shall be paid any part of their demands.

Between this proviso and the clause we first cited is a clause rendering the heir and devisee of the debtor liable to the same suits in equity, at the suit of any of the creditors of the debtor, whether creditors by simple contract or by specialty, as the heir or devisee of any person who died seised of freehold estates was, before the passing of the act, liable to in respect of such freehold estates, at the suit of creditors by specialty in which the heirs were bound. This clause certainly appears to be strictly applicable only to cases in which the debtor was the purchaser of the lands, for it mentions only the heir of the debtor. But it seems impossible, on this account, to consider the clause as in any way restrictive of the

sweeping remedial enactment by which it is preceded. Creditors having specialties binding the heirs of their debtor were certainly intended to be benefited by the act, for it gives them a claim in respect of copyhold lands which they did not possess before. A remedial act is to be construed liberally; and a further clause, applicable only to certain cases, ought not to be considered as narrowing the comprehensive remedy plainly furnished by the preceding enactment.

From the whole there is one conclusion to be drawn, in which all will most probably agree, and that is, that the Act for the Amendment of the Law of Inheritance is one of those amendments of the law which greatly needs to be itself amended. J. W.
