the chose in action; he has only the right to reduce it into possession, if it be in a state capable of being so reduced. Reduction into possession is a necessary and indispensable preliminary to the husband's having any right of property in himself, or to his being able to convey any right of property to another." (1 Russ. 66).

"The current of authorities shewing that the court will not receive the wife's consent to part with her reversionary property, bears strongly on the question. If the assignment of the husband passes the interest to the assignee, and destroys her legal right by survivorship, all that could remain to her would be an equity to have a settlement; and there can be no reason why she should not be permitted to extinguish, by her consent, that equity, as completely as if it were an equity attaching upon property in possession. The court, however, will not take her consent while the fund remains in reversion; and the reason which it has assigned for this refusal is, that it will not prejudice the future right which the wife may have by survivorship.' (1 Russ. 28).

the rest followed of course. But was the entire interest, even the life interest assigned by M. G. Edgar, reducible into possession? In the first place, merger is, as the Vice-Chancellor admits, out of the question. Merger is a technical consequence of certain legal incidents of tenure, and is wholly inapplicable to choses in action, or even to equitable interests in land. If land is limited at law to A. for life, remainder to B. for life, and A. conveys his life estate to B., his executors, administrators, and assigns, the estate so conveyed is merged, and B.'s executors or assigns have no title after his death, though A. be living. But if an equitable interest in land or in personal property be so limited and dealt with, there is no merger, and no destruction of the first life interest. There is no such thing as the merger of one equitable interest in another. If trustees are directed to apply the income of a fund for the maintenance of A. until he attains the age of twenty-five, and on his attaining that age, and not before, to transfer the fund to him; A., as soon as he is of age, can compel a transfer of the fund. Why? Not because such a The judgment in Purdew v. Jackson has always transfer would be in accordance with the terms of the been considered to have settled the law on this subject trust, but because the trust gives him a vested interest upon its true grounds. It appears, then, that the pro- in the fund and in its produce; and an adult man cantection of the reversionary choses in action of a married not be restrained from dealing as he likes with his woman from the acts of her husband and herself, is vested interests. He obtains the fund at twenty-one, merely a consequence of the general rule, both of law because he is then under no disability, and in defiance of and of equity, that her choses in action remain in her the special terms of the trust. If a trustee is directed until they are reduced into possession by her husband. to pay the dividends of a fund to A. for life, and after A legal chose in action is reducible into possession his death to transfer the fund to B., and A. assigns his when it may be recovered in an action; an equitable interest to B., the trustee may go on paying the divichose in action is reducible into possession when the dends to B., or, at B.'s request, he may transfer the fund trustee is bound to pay it. The husband may recover to him; but in the latter case he will not be obeying his wife's legal chose in action as soon as it is due, the terms of his trust, but he will be obeying the diwithout her concurrence. He may recover her equit-rection of a person on whom the trust and subsequent able chose in action, when it is due, without her concurrence, but subject to her right to insist on having a settlement out of it. If he can arrange with the trustee out of court, the wife, in order to enforce her right to a settlement, must move; if he is obliged to go to the court, the court will not interfere until the wife's settlement is provided for, or waived by her consent in court. This is the only case in which the wife's consent in court is taken, or can have any operation: the specific and only object of that ceremony is to waive her right to a settlement. A married woman can, by an appropriate assurance, deal with her interests in real property; she can deal with her separate property as if she were unmarried; she can waive her equity to a settlement out of her equitable choses in action; she can exercise a power expressly given to her; these are the only cases in which a married woman has any power to do, or consent to, any act affecting her property. Accordingly, in Purdew v. Jackson, Honner v. Morton, (3 Russ. 65), and the other cases where the husband and wife joined in attempting to assign her reversionary choses in action, the court took no notice of the wife's part in the transaction, but treated it as the act of the husband alone.

events have conferred the right of dominion over every part of the property. Where the cestui que trust is a married woman, the case is entirely different; the trustee must literally perform the terms of the trust, because the cestui que trust is incapable of authorising him to deviate from those terms in the minutest particular. If the trust were, to pay the dividends to Mrs. H. until she should attain the age of twenty-five, and then to transfer the fund to her, could it be contended that the court would allow the fund to be transferred before she attained that age? Would it not be tantamount to a restriction on alienation until twenty-five? Yet the whole interest would be in her. Would not the case be the same if the direction were to pay the dividends to the wife until the death of A., and then to transfer them to her? Would it not be even stronger if the trust were to pay the dividends to her during her husband's life, and after his death to transfer the fund to her? Again, if the dividends were given to the husband himself for life, and the fund to the wife after his death, would the husband's appointment to a trustee for his wife of that which would be his after the appointment quite as much as it was be fore, be allowed to affect her reversion, or the duty of So far there is no dispute as to the law. Let us the trustees? Can it make any difference, that the life see how it applies to the case of Hall v.

If the entire interest was reducible into possession,

If it is said, that, in the case of a prior life. interest,

the transfer of the fund postponed merely for the sake of securing such life interest, and that the moment that obstacle is removed the fund may be transferred, how are those cases answered in which the tenant for life has removed the difficulty by concurring in the application, and yet the court has refused to sanction the transfer,-cases which the Vice-Chancellor expressly recognises: as in Seaman v. Duill and Richards v. Chambers, (10 Ves. 580), and Fraser v. Baillie, (1 Bro. C. C. 518), where the life interest was originally limited to the husband, and the application was for a transfer to him; and in Pickard v. Roberts, (3 Madd. 384), where the husband acquired the life interest by assignment, and applied for a transfer to himself; and Box v. Box, (2 Con. & Laws. 605; 1 Drury, 42), where the tenant for life was a stranger, and the application was for a transfer to him. In none of these cases was there any obstacle to the immediate transfer of the fund, save only the fact, that the time appointed for such transfer by the trust had not arrived.

Even if there were no force in the above observations, we are at a loss to see how the objection can be answered, that the wife is at liberty when she becomes discoverte to disavow the whole transaction, and disclaim the insidious gift which was made to her. Her consent in court, it is admitted, cannot bind her, except to waive that equity which is the creature of the court-her equity to a settlement.

out the interference of the court. For, the principle of that case is, that an assignment of the prior interest or interests to the feme renders the fund immediately transferable, and the trustees are not bound to regard the wife's equity, but may transfer to the husband, if she does not apply to the court to stop them.

GRAY'S INN.

BY THE COURT.

There is another way of putting the objection to the decision in Hall v. Hugonin, which we conceive to be unanswerable. It is settled, that when a life interest in a chose in action not merely commensurate with the coverture belongs to a married woman, the husband has no power to dispose of it beyond the coverture. Being a mere periodical payment, it is not reducible into possession at all by anticipation; the husband, being under no At a Pension held the 24th day of November, 1846, disability, may dispose of it by anticipation to the extent of his interest, (i. e. during the coverture), but not beThe Masters of the Bench of Gray's Inn have reyond.

Conveyancing Devises and Bequests; and have ordered, 535*. See Whitmarsh v. Robertson, 1 You. & C. C. C.715; that the sum of 3007. per annum, for three years, be Box v. Box, 1 Drury, 66; Scarborough v. Borman, 4 My. paid by the Society, by way of endowment, to such & C. 383). It is, indeed, self-evident, that a life inter-person as the Bench shall elect to deliver the Lectures, est, standing alone, cannot be reduced into possession. Even a life interest confined to the period of the coverture is not reducible into possession. The husband may assign it, or release it, or, by purchasing the reversion, entitle himself to a present transfer of the fund; but it is out of his power to reduce the life interest, per se, into possession.

Now, in Hall v. Hugonin, Mrs. Hall having become entitled to M. G. Edgar's life interest, which, it is admitted, did not merge, it was necessary that the trustees should retain the fund in order to preserve her contingent interest in the dividends during the remainder of the life of M. G. Edgar, in case Mr. Hall should die first; and if there was a necessity for keeping the fund in the hands of the_trustees, it was not then reducible into possession. But, it is said, the life interest was united to the reversion. Surely, not united more intimately than the two parts of the life interest, which we have seen the courts have recognised as separable, were united.

On the whole, it is submitted that the decision in Hall v. Hugonin cannot be sustained without entirely overturning the settled rules of the court with respect to a married woman's choses in action.

If Hall v. Hugonin is sustainable, the reversionary equitable choses of married women may be got at with

"There is here an interest, neither represented nor capable of being represented, namely, the interest of Mrs. Lee, in the event of her surviving Mr. Lee, in the income of the fund during her life after his decease." Per Sir J. Knight Bruce, V. C., 2 You. & C. C. C. 535.

to begin from the day of his appointment.

The Benchers therefore invite gentlemen desirous to accept the Office of Lecturer to send in testimonials of their competency and fitness, addressed to the Treasurer, at the Steward's Office, in South-square, Gray'sinn, on or before the last day of Hilary Term next. The Benchers are desirous, that, in addition to the Lectures, some further means should be adopted to secure the attention, and to ascertain the proficiency of the Students.

[ocr errors]

The discussion of some appointed subjects, in which the Students should be invited to join, subject to proper regulations, opportunities afforded to Students of stating and of obtaining from the Lecturer the solution of difficulties, and examinations in the subjects of the previous Lectures and discussions, suggest themselves as means by the judicious application of which the end in view may be attained.

The Benchers express, however, no opinion as to the best course to be adopted; but they suggest these matters to explain distinctly their object in establishing this Lectureship, and more particularly to induce each Candidate to send in such a plan of the course of instruc tion he proposes to adopt as may enable the Benchers to form a judgment of its probable efficiency.
