SITTINGS

BEFORE

MICHAELMAS TERM, 1824.

[blocks in formation]

A reversioner files a bill against a defendant, who claims under a recovery suffered by a prior tenant in tail, and charges, that, if any recovery was suffered, the uses of it were so declared, that under them the plaintiff had title, and that so it would appear, if the defendant would produce the documents in his possession: Held, that a plea of the recovery suffered, and of the deed leading the uses of it, was good, though not supported by any answer denying the above-mentioned charges.

Sir William Lowther, by his will, dated the 7th of April 1755, devised certain premises to the Duke of Devonshire and the Marquis of Hartington, and their heirs, to the use (upon the failure of his own issue) of Edward Wilson and Thomas Wilson, during the term of 200 years, upon certain trusts; then to the use of Catherine Lowther, for her life; afterwards, to the use of Lord George Cavendish, for his life, without impeachment of waste; remainder to his first and every other son successively in tail male; in default of such issue, to the use of Lord Frederick Cavendish, for his

The plaintiff, after setting forth these circumstances, stated, that she was heirat-law of the testator; that, upon the death of Lord Frederick Cavendish in 1803, the ultimate limitation to the testator's right heirs took effect, under which she became entitled; but that she had only lately
