(a) It will be perceived on referring to the preceding recital of the marriage settlement of Mr. and Mrs. T. (p. 62.) that both their freehold meffuages, &c. are limited to the only proper ufe and behoof of the trustees, their heirs and affigns for ever, to, for, and upon the feveral ufes, trufts, intents, and purposes thereinafter limited &c. concerning the fame, confequently the legal estate was thereby limited to the trustees; and the fubfe quent eftates attempted to be limited by way of use, could only be in nature of trust, but as the settlement contains a provifo enabling Mr. and Mrs. T. at their free will and pleasure, from time to time, and at any time or times, to revoke, alter, make void, or change all and every or any or either of the use or uses, eftate or eftates, trufts, &c. therein mentioned, declared, limited or appointed; and by the fame or any other deed, &c. to limit, declare, and appoint any new or other use or uses of the premises or any part thereof, and with or without power of revocation, and fo from time to time, as they fhould jointly think fit, and as they by their joint deed of revocation, did in pursuance of such their power, abfolutely revoke, alter, make void, and change all and every such ufe and uses, estates, trusts, &c. in and by the fettlement feverally mentioned, expreffed, declared, limited, or appointed, concerning the premises, they of course revoked the only legal use thereby limited, which was to the trustees and their heirs, who thereupon ceased to have any eftate remaining in them. They then by the fame deed, limit and appoint certain legal uses of the meffuages late belonging to Mrs. T. and the first of such ufes is unto and for the only proper ufe, and behoof of Mrs. T. and her affigns, during her life, with remainder to the ufe of the faid truftees, to preserve the contingent remainders. And from and immediately after her decease, then to the use of such persons, &c. as she shall by deed or will appoint, and after all the uses are diftributed in the deed of revocation, the words, "to and for no other use or ufes, intereft or purposes, whatsoever." are made use of, there

was no other power of revocation and new appointment inferted in this deed, as there undoubtedly might have been if the parties had chofen, but the last words therein show that they had it not in contemplation, therefore the power of appointing new uses under the fettlement or subsequent deed is out of the question, for it seems to me that as no new power of revocation was reserved in the laft deed, the power given to Mr. and Mrs. T. in the fettlement is extinct, and the premises ftand irrevocably fettled to the uses limited by fuch deed of revocation and new appointment, the firft of which ufes is to Mrs. T. for life, and I know not how fuch life eftate can be divested out of her but by a fine, because her power of appointment is only of the reverfion of the premifes, from and after her decease.

As the purchase money is fo fmall, I am forry I can't think myself at liberty to advise payment of it without a fine, unless the purchaser thinks proper to accept Mr. T.'s bond to warrant the title. But as it is likely Mrs. T.'s other uses may be fold, the best method appears to me for Mr. and Mrs. T. to levy a fine of the whole to Meffrs. M. L. and T. (the truftees in the deed of revocation and new appointment) and the heirs of one of them, and by a separate deed to declare that the fame fhall enure to fuch uses, &c. as Mr. and Mrs. T. fhall by deed jointly appoint, and for want of, and until fuch appointment, to the use of the trustees during the joint lives of Mr. and Mrs. T. upon truft to apply the rents for the separate use of Mrs. T. and if Mr. T. die in her life time, to the ufe of Mrs. T. in fee; but if fhe dies in his life time, then to the use of such perfons as fhe (notwithstanding her coverture) fhall by will appoint, and for want of fuch appointment, to her own right heirs, and then I truft Mr. and Mrs. T. will be able to make a good title to the purchafers.
