possessed, without saying that the testator never could have meant it to apply to the leases of which he was possessed at the time of making his will. So, in the case put by Mr. Jarman, of a gift to my son John, the son John living at the date of the will were to die, living the testator, and the testator had at his death another son John, it would be impossible to hold that the second son John was to take the gift; because, of necessity, the inclusion of the one in the terms of the gift excludes the other. The will could not mean by my son John" two sons John; and it would be too absurd to impute to the testator an intention not to describe the person who was his son John at the time when he made his will, and an intention to describe exclusively a person not existing, and who might never exist. 66 We conclude, that the authorities are not conflicting, but that there is much more to be considered in applying them than merely whether the words of a will of themselves import the present, or not. That question, it appears to us, must be considered in connexion with the nature of the will; as, whether it is a will of land, which formerly could only speak at the date of its execution; or a will, which, primâ facie, speaks at the date of the testator's death: and also in connexion with the nature of the subject or object of gift, with reference to the question, whether that is so specific that it would be impossible to apply the description to the subject or object existing at the testator's death, without excluding the possibility of its having been intended to apply to the subject or object existing at the date of the will*.
