him is not within the proposed rule of construction and may be read by the light of common sense, then we have an absolute gift to the trustees in fee, followed by an executory devise to D. to take effect when the annuity and legacy are paid, which, we presume, is the very construction that the clause was intended to exclude. Similar absurdities would result from the application of the proposed rule to cases where the question is whether trustees take an estate or a power. Then, for verbal criticism, the scope of the clause is confined to the legal estate, and the contrasted word "interest" is out of place.

Sect. 42. "In construing a will it is to be presumed, unless a contrary intention appears, that the testator did not intend to include in any general or residuary gift property vested in him only as trustee or mortgagee, but [intended] to die intestate as to such property." Mr. Brickdale is not confident in recommending this clause. It seems calculated to raise many doubts, to solve none, and to cause great inconvenience. What will indicate a contrary intention? Suppose the gift is of "all my lands, chattels, monies on mortgage, and other securities, and all other my real and personal estate." The doubts that arise under the existing law are few, and the convenience of including trust and mortgage estates in a general devise is great. The difficulty created by the doctrine in Cook v. Crawford (13 Sim. 91) should be met by correcting it. That doctrine, however, has no application to a mortgage, and there is certainly no reason for withdrawing mortgages from the operation of a residuary devise. If the law must be altered, let it be done by vesting trust and mortgage estates in the personal representative.

We may notice the 49th clause, for the purpose of correcting Mr. Brickdale's statement, that the bill contains no interpretation clause-it is an interpretation of the word "will," and a superfluous one:-" The provisions of this act relating to wills extend to all codicils, testamentary appointments, and other documents of a testamentary nature."

Mr. Brickdale also contributes drafts of two billsone for the apportionment of rents-service and other payments of the like nature, and the other for the apportionment of periodical payments between successive owners-introduced by some judicious observations on the scope and policy of the Apportionment Acts. Sect. 1 of the first bill runs thus:-"On the determination by any means of any payment in the nature of rent or interest for the use or forbearance of any property, debt, or right, on any day except the day of payment, a proportion thereof, up to the day of such determination inclusive, becomes due on the next day of payment." "Except the day of payment" should be "except a day of payment;" and "the next day of payment" after the determination of the rent is the Greek Calends. But even Mr. Ker would trust the judges to read this as meaning what would be the next day of payment if the rent were to continue. The remedy for the recovery of the apportioned part is not stated, and the only remedy would be an action of debt, not on the specialty, but under the statute. The act now in force gives an action on the case. The proper course would have been to add, that the remedies for recovering such proportion should be the same as those for recovering arrears of the rent.

Sect. 1 of the second bill enacts, that "where any person succeeds to the right to receive any periodical payment on any day except the day of payment, he shall pay to the person to whom he has succeeded, or his personal representatives, a proportion of the next periodical payment, up to the day of such succession inclusive." "The person to whom he has succeeded" should be "the person whom he has succeeded."]

Sect. 2. "Where more than one succession takes

place in the interval between two periods of payment, a just proportion shall be paid to each person whose interest has determined, or to his personal representatives." ["Periods" should be "consecutive days," and "just" is either superfluous here or wanting in sects. 1 and 3.]

Sect. 3. "In ascertaining the amount of the proportion to be paid or received, a proportion of all expenses, charges, and outgoings paid by any successor are [is] to be allowed to him."

Sect. 4. "The successor is not liable to pay such proportion except in respect of payments actually received by him, but he is bound as a trustee for all the persons to whom he succeeds to obtain such payment." In the case of A. succeeding B., and C. succeeding B. in one interval of payment, it is not expressed whether C. is to pay A. and B. their respective portions, or C. is to pay B. the amount of both, leaving him to pay to A. his portion. The former would probably be held to be the meaning, but it is not expressed, and sects. 1 and 2 are inconsistent in terms. And it is not made clear whether the successor is to pay the proportion in full to the extent of his receipts, or only in proportion to his receipts. The words "in respect of" might perhaps be held to bear the latter meaning.

The substantial objection to this clause is, that it would alter the law, by imposing on the successor the duties and liabilities of a trustee without giving him even the option of disclaiming, and that merely to avoid an imaginary inconvenience to the party liable to pay. Mr. Brickdale says that it seems "not fair to throw on the parties who are liable to pay the obligation of ascertaining that a case for apportionment has occurred and the correct amount to which each party is entitled, at the risk of being obliged to pay twice over." The hardship here suggested is impossible. The party to pay must know that a succession has occurred, for he is to pay to the successor a new hand; and he cannot ascertain the successor's title without also ascertaining the time when it accrued, and consequently the correct apportionment.

We do not understand with what object the bill prepared by Mr. Rogers for consolidating the statutes relating to masters and servants, and masters and workmen, has been printed. It is little more than an arrangement of the enactments now in force or supposed to be in force, copied for the most part without any verbal alteration beyond what the dislocation and rearrangement of the materials rendered absolutely necessary, but also with occasional arbitrary alterations and amendments. The result is, a repulsive and not very intelligible patchwork of clauses, drawn in all varieties of style, from the time of George II downwards-preposterous as a bill to be passed, and useless as materials for legislation, because not a faithful transcript of the existing law.

We have studied the reports of the commission with an anxious desire to found on them some hope of a lasting amendment of the statute law, but we have been disappointed. Mr. Coode is the only one of the commissioners who shews either wish or capacity to investigate the foundations of things, and to devise a comprehensive and consistent scheme of procedure; but his theory is not adopted, nor, as far as we can discover, even understood, by his colleagues or by the Lord Chancellor; and if the commission, as now constituted, is continued with any practical effect, the statute law will be periodically deranged by isolated consolidation acts, drawn on no common principle, often worse drawn than the acts replaced by them, forming no part of a system, and consequently involving no protection against the desultory and anomalous reforms of such amateurs and others as may not choose to sail under

the commissioners' flag. A well-arranged and wellexpressed code, like any other intricate machinery, would reject unskilful tinkering; but in the activity of the present commission we see only an additional element of derangement. Change even in the form of the law is a great temporary evil: let it not be encountered without the prospect of an equivalent permanent good.
