GRAND-FATHER AND
GRAND-CHILD

304

A grand-father having taken the chil-
dren of a son who had ruined himself,
educated them entirely, and by his will
gave the son an annuity, provided he
did not interfere with the children,
and then gave legacies to the children.
Lord BATHURST held that the grand-
father had put himself in loco parentis,
and decreed interest on the legacies, 5
379 2. So, per Lord Rosslyn, where a testa-
tor gave legacies to the natural chil-
dren of his son, payable at a future
day, and gave no maintenance in the
mean time; but gave directions how
they should be educated, and attempt-
ed to make testamentary guardians,

2. Fine and non-claim by a trustee to a
person having notice of the trust, shall
not bar the cestui que trust: It is

Daly,

3. One taking from a trustee, with no-
tice, levies a fine to strengthen his
estate; this shall not bar the cestui
que trust,
4. A person coming to a title which is
bound by an equitable right, cannot,
by levying a fine, discharge his estate
from the consequences of that right,
380
5. Where a fine is levied upon a posses-
sion gained in such a way that the
title on which the equity attaches, is
not altered or where the possession
is gained on a confidence, and it is at-
tempted to make title contrary to that 1.
confidence, a fine and non-claim will
make no bar,

A.taking an assignment of a judgment
from an assignee, is bound to look to
the assignment to him: if he neglects
to do so, and it prove that such assign-
ment was in trust for the conusor, the
judgment being satisfied, A. cannot set
it up against creditors. But if A. took
it without knowing of the fraud, he
shall be satisfied by the person who

LANDLORD AND TENANT.

8

1. The possession of a tenant even when
abusing his right, or exercising it to an
extent not authorised by his tenure, is
still the landlord's possession; and the
allowance for the abuse for any length
of time shall not give the tenant a right
to continue it,
2. Where there have been various deal-
ings between landlord and tenant, so as
to produce an account too complicated
to be taken at law; and the landlord 2
has brought ejectment for non-payment
of rent, the tenant may file a bill, before
judgment at law; for an account on
the foot of those dealings, and to have
the balance applied to the rent claim-
ed to be due, and for an injunction.
O'Connor v. Spaight,
3. In such case the tenant need not bring
in the rent, under statute 4 Geo. 1, c. 5,

"her marriage with such consent, the
"other moiety in one year after: but
"if said M. was then married or should

marry without such consent, said

M. being unmarried, is not entitled
immediately either to principal or in-
terest: not to principal, because mar-
riage is a condition precedent, and the
legacy therefore contingent until then:
nor to interest, because the legacy is
payable in futuro, and there is no suf-
ficient ground of implication that in-
terest was intended in the mean time.
Ellis v. Ellis,

1

A legacy out of a personal fund, be-
queathed generally, without assigning
any time for payment, bears interest
only from a year after the death of the
testator, though the fund out of which
it is to be paid consist of stock and
other matters yielding immediate pro-
fit. Pearson v. Pearson,

10

12

In such case, interest is payable from
the end of the year, though the fund
does not come to be disposable for the
payment of the legacies until long after;
and if the fund is productive within the
year, the intermediate profits belong
to the residuary legatee,
4. But if the legacy be charged on lands,
interest is payable from the death of the
testator, or not at all,

MARRIAGE, (ARTICLES ON)

7. "bound the whole of the farm of,
"&c. as a dowry or marriage portion
"to his son W. T. along with R. F.
"one half of said farm to be the right
"title and interest of the issue, wheth-
"er son or daughter, if begotten on
"the body of R. F. by W. I" The
issue take as tenants in common. Tag-

Joint-tenancy, as a provision for the
children of a marriage, is an incon-
venient mode of settlement,
Limitation in a marriage article, to A.
for life, subject to annuities for the
lives of B. and C. and a charge for a
jointure for D. if she should survive A.
and after the death of said B. and C.
A. and D. then to the use of the issue,
&c.: The limitation to the issue is not
to await the deaths of A. B. C. and D.
but they are to take upon the death of
A. subject to the charges for B. C. and
D. Bushell v. Bushell,

4. Though the statute of limitations does
not apply in terms to proceedings in
equity, yet such proceedings are affect-
ed by analogy to the statute: so that,
in general, if a party be guilty, of such
laches in pursuing his equitable title 3.
as would bar him at law, he shall be
barred in equity. But equity will re-
move the legal bar proceeding from
lapse of time, as it would any other
legal advantage, if sought to be used
unconscientiously. Ibid. 428, 431
5. Lapse of time shall not prejudice a
person who has title, while seeking a
discovery of that title from persons
who have possessed themselves of the
evidences of it. Ibid.

MORTGAGE.

1. Mortgagee having got possession of
mortgagor's title deeds, lodged them
with an attorney, who claimed a lien
on them for business done for mort-
gagee. On the application of mortga-
gor, mortgagee was restrained from
proceeding at law upon his collateral
security. Schoole v. Sall,

"at any time thereafter during his
"life be qualified by law so to do."
In 1778 he becomes qualified by law to
carry - these articles into execution.
The lands were not specifically bound
by these articles until 1778, and there-
fore judgments subsequent to 1764,
but before 1778, were prior liens.
Kennedy v. Daly,

355
2. To hold that the articles of 1764
bound the lands specifically, would
defeat the intent of the parties, by giv-
ing a title to a protestant discoverer,

371

3. Judgment creditors were not bound
by the articles of 1764 prior to the
statute 17 & 18 Geo. 3. From the
passing of that statute they were
bound,
373

176
2. But it was referred to the master to
take an account of what was due for
principal, interest, and costs, and the
costs of the proceedings at law, and
the money to be paid into the bank and
remain until the title deeds should be
secured, the mortgagor paying the
costs at law and in equity,
177
3. Mortgagee has a right to proceed on
his mortgage and bond at the same 4.
time, (being an exception to the rule,
that a party shall not sue at law and
in equity at the same time); but mort-
gagor shall not be obliged to pay upon
his bond, unless secure of his title
deeds being delivered up,
ibid.

ed from enforcing payment, and the

PARENT AND CHILD.

1. In case of a legacy left by father to
child, the child having no other pro-
vision, it is a necessary implication
that the legacy shall bear interest:
but this implication is ousted if he pro-
vides any maintenance for the child,
however small the maintenance, and
however large the legacy. Ellis v.
