(7) See, with reference to the frame of this recital, the remarks contained in the ensuing note, on the manner of referring to the parcels. The recital must, of course, be made to correspond with the description of the parcels. When the term coinprises more property than that intended to be assigned, the recital may refer to the parcels as comprised in the term "and hereinbefore particularly mentioned," or as "such of the said hereditaments comprised in the said term as were assigned or expressed to be assigned" by the last assignment. These, or such similar phrases as the circumstances of the case require, will sufficiently distinguish the parcels intended to be assigned, from the others comprised in the term.

ALL SUCH and so many, and such part and parts of the messuage, land, and hereditaments by the said indenture of release of even date herewith granted and released, or expressed and intended so to be, as by the said indenture of the 16th day of April, 1819, were assigned or expressed to be assigned to the said E.

M., his executors, administrators, and assigns, for the residue now to come of the said term of years, UPON TRUST for the several persons who shall from time (h) It is necessary to pay considerable attention to the mode of stating, or rather of referring to the parcels intended to be assigned. In the case in the text the purchase deed comprises the whole of the property in the term, and the whole was assigned on the last assignment; hence the reference is to such of the hereditaments comprised in the purchase deed as were assigned on the last assignment. And the reference may be the same if the purchase deed comprises the whole property included in the term and more. But if the purchase deed comprises only part of the property included in the term, and assigned on the last assignment, the mode of description must be reversed, and the reference be to such of the hereditaments included in the last assignment as are comprised in the purchase deed. Again, a variation is required, if since the last assignment there has been an inclosure act, or other act, by means of which the property now included in the term, or subject to the trusts thereof, is different from that included in it on the last assignment. The reference will then be to the hereditaments "assigned or expressed to be assigned to the said E. T., his executors, administrators, and assigns, for the residue of the said term of years, or which are now by virtue of the said inclosure act [or such other act as it may be], or by any other means whatsoever, comprised in the same term, and subject to the trusts thereof." And, of course, various combinations of circumstances will demand variations in the language of the description, which must be supplied by the ingenuity of the draftsman. His principle should be to pay little attention to the form, but to attend closely to the fact, to make out clearly and exactly what he means to comprise in his assignment, and to introduce words of description which will aptly express his meaning. Mode of describing the parcels in assignments of terms. ASSIGNMENT OF ATTENDANT TERM. Upon trust. Covenant by the trustee to time be entitled to or interested in the reversion expectant on the said term of years of and in the premises therein comprised, under the limitations and trusts of the said indenture of even date herewith, and to assign and dispose of the same as they shall from time to time direct (i), and in the meantime to permit and suffer the residue of the said term of years to wait upon and attend the reversion, freehold, and inheritance of the premises therein comprised, and to protect the same from all mesne incumbrances, if any such there be: AND THE SAID A. B. doth against incum- hereby for himself, his heirs, executors, and administrators, covenant with the said L. M., his executors, administrators, and assigns, that he the said A. B. hath not at any time heretofore made, done, committed, or executed, or knowingly or willingly permitted or suffered, or been party or privy to any act, deed, matter, or thing whatsoever, whereby or by reason or means whereof the said messuage and other hereditaments hereinbefore assigned, or expressed and intended so to be, or any of them, or any part thereof, are, is, can, shall, or may be impeached, charged, affected, or incumbered in title, estate, or otherwise howsoever. IN WITNESS &c. (j). brances. Cases to which the protection of the legal estate is extended. (i) In the case in the text the freehold is conveyed to the uses of a settlement, and hence the trust of the attendant term differs somewhat from the common form, which runs as follows: : "UPON TRUST for the said [purchaser], his [if the conveyance be to uses to bar dower, insert "appointees,"] heirs and assigns, and to assign and dispose of the same as he or they shall from time to time direct," continuing as in the text. (j) It may be proper to take this opportunity of referring the practitioner to the recent case of Jones v. Powles, (3 My. & Ke. 581); in which it was laid down by the Master of the Rolls "that the protection of a legal estate extends not merely to cases in which the title of the purchaser for valuable consideration without notice is impeachable by reason of a secret act done, but also to cases in which it is impeached by reason of the falsehood of a fact of title, asserted by the vendor or those under whom he claims, where such asserted title is clothed with possession, and LII.

F. the falsehood of the fact asserted could not have been detected by reasonable diligence." The person who in this case claimed and obtained the protection of the legal estate, derived title under a will which turned out to have been forged. The subject will be more fully discussed in another part of this work, but most of the cases connected with it are cited in Jones v. Powles. Form of assign ment when the terms are in different trus (a) In the precedent, the skeleton of which is given in the text, it appears that both the terms had become vested in one trustee at the date of the assignment. If it happen that the terms are in different trustees, the frame of the recitals will not be materially different; they will commence tees. with the creation of the terms in the order of date, and then pass in the usual way to those conveyances of the respective reversions on which the terms were last assigned to attend, and to the assignments themselves; and afterwards trace the devolution of the fee in the usual manner. There will be distinct witnessing parts for each term, each having its own habendum referring to the subsequent declaration of trust, and each being followed by the covenant against incumbrances from the assignor; and the draft will conclude with the declaration of trust in the text, introduced by the following form, "And it is hereby agreed and declared between and by the parties to these presents, that the said [trustee], his executors, administrators, and assigns, shall stand possessed of and interested in the said premises hereinbefore assigned, or expressed and intended so to be, for the respective residue now to come of the said terms of years respectively, in trust, &c." years and as in the text.
