No. 909-VOL. XVIII. JUNE 10, 1854. NAMES OF THE CASES REPORTED IN THIS NUMBER. THE case of Warbutton v. Warbutton, (17 Jur., part 1, p. 415), decided recently by Sir J. Stuart, V. C., demands particular notice, not so much in reference to its merits as a precedent, but because, while purporting to proceed upon well-established principles, it clearly departs from them, and throws doubt upon decisions of unquestionable authority. In that case the testator, by his will, dated the 28th June, 1846, gave all his real, leasehold, copyhold, and personal estate upon trust to sell and dispose of the leasehold and personal estate, and to invest the proceeds thereof, and to receive the rents, issues, and profits of the real estate, and by, with, and out of the proceeds arising therefrom to pay to his wife an annuity of 207. for life; to pay Mary L. a legacy of 100l. and an annuity of 201. for life; and, after other bequests and directions, the testator empowered his trustees "to demise, lease, set, let, and manage his said real estate, as also his leasehold estates, so as to produce the greatest rental." The assets of the testator were of the yearly value of 1127. The Vice-Chancellor held that the widow was not bound to elect between her dower and the provision made for her by the will. His Honor thought that the case of Grayson v. Deakin, (3 De G. & S. 298), decided by Sir J. L. Knight Bruce, L. J., when Vice-Chancellor, and the case of Parker v. Sowerby, (17 Jur., part 1, p. 752), decided by Sir R. T. Kindersley, V. C., which had been pressed against the right of the widow, proceeded upon 66 a complete misapprehension" of the language of Lord St. Leonards in Hall v. Hill, (1 Dru. & W. 94), the decision in which case, his Honor said, went upon this, "that the widow had acquired under the will a much greater provision than she was entitled to as dower, and it was held, therefore, that she was VOL.

Ex parte The Overseers of Warblington.-(Lighting COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. 494 .... 496 COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Imperial Gas-light and Coke Company v. The London Gas-light Company.-(Statute of Limitations-Fraud) 497 barred of dower by a clear implication; and the learned judge satisfied himself of the intention of the testator, and of the law upon the whole subject of amplitude of provision, and he thought it was clearly the intention that she should not have both. But that case is far from being a decision, that the mere circumstance of a testator giving a leasing power to his trustees is enough to raise an implication of his intention to exclude his widow from her dower. . . . . The whole amount of the provision made for his widow is an annuity of 201.; and I find also a provision made for a stranger of exactly the same amount. So far from there being in this case the great and governing circumstance that existed in the case of Hall v. Hill—the provision for the widow as compared with the amount of the assetsthat, instead of being an ample provision, it was such, that if put to her election, the widow would have elected to take her dower." An examination of Hall v. Hill will, it is believed, shew that there has been no misapprehension of the meaning of Lord St. Leonards, on the part of Sir J. L. Knight Bruce, L. J., and Sir R. T. Kindersley, V. C. There the testator gave part of his estate to his widow, and also an annuity charged upon the whole estate, with powers of distress and entry in case of non-payment, and there was also contained in the will power "to lease, demise, or let all or any part of my estates and lands, for any term not exceeding thirty-one years;" and Lord St. Leonards, after an elaborate examination of the authorities, held that the widow was bound to elect between the provisions made for her by the will and her dower. "I am not aware how the power of leasing, in this case, can be exercised over all the estate, if the widow's right to dower be allowed. One can understand how the rents might be enjoyed, or the estate sold, subject to the claim for dower; but how could you demise an estate subject to the right of this lady to have a third part thereof set out by metes and bounds? You cannot give her the right of dower, and yet exercise the power of leasing over the whole of the estate out of which she is to have dower." His Lordship, in effect, says that the power of leasing given to the trustees was inconsistent with the notion that the widow was to enjoy dower as set out by metes and bounds, and that it followed, therefore, as a matter of course, that she must elect between her legal right to dower out of the estate devised wholly to the trustees, and the benefits conferred upon her by the will. His Lordship then proceeds with some other observations, perhaps somewhat ambiguous, which, it is conceived, Sir J. Stuart, V. C., has understood in a sense different from what they were intended to convey. "If," continued his Lordship, "I am bound to spell out the intention of the testator, I think, looking at the whole frame of the will, that the testator meant to provide for his wife by the will. He gives her a house and the furniture; he gives her also an annuity out of the general estate; and she has acquired under the will a much greater provision than she would have been entitled to as dower in the ordinary way. That she is of this opinion is evident, because she has elected to take under the will, if required to make an election. I hold, therefore, that she is barred of dower, and that by clear implication. I have satisfied myself of the intention of the testator. I despair, as I have already said, of reconciling the authorities on this subject, but I follow what I consider the best. As, therefore, the widow has elected to take under the will, I must declare that she is barred of her claim to dower." Now, all that Lord St. Leonards meant by these concluding observations appears to be, that he had come to the conclusion, from the power of leasing being inconsistent with the widow's claim to dower, that the testator did not intend her to have it in addition to what he had given her by the will; that she had in reality taken more by the will than the law would have given to her in the shape of dower; that by the widow electing to take the provision made for her by the will, she had shewn that such was her opinion; that she was therefore barred of dower. By these observations also it is possible that his Lordship meant that no question as to compensation arose, the dower being of less value than what she elected to take. Lord St. Leonards, however, himself is the best exponent of his own meaning in Hall v. Hill, for in the subsequent case of O'Hara v. Chaine, (1 Jo. & Lat. 665), where the question as to the relative value of the widow's dower, as compared either with the testator's assets, or the benefits conferred upon her by the will, was not discussed, but in which, from the widow having elected to take dower, it may be presumed that the dower was more valuable than what was given to her by the will-Lord St. Leonards, as to one branch of the case, says, "the power of leasing decides this part of the case. Taking the whole will together, I am of opinion that the widow is bound to elect. The case comes within the principle of Hall v. Hill, and I see no reason to depart from that decision." It is submitted, therefore, that the view taken by Sir J. L. Knight Bruce, L. J., and Sir R. T. Kindersley, V. C., as to the decision of Hall v. Hill, is correct, and indeed is in accordance with the current of authorities. (See Roadley v. Dixon, 3 Russ. 192; Miall v. Brain, 4 Mad. 119; and Taylor v. Taylor, 1 Y. & C. C. C. 727). Independent of authority, the decision of Sir J. Stuart, V. C., is open to grave objections. Why is the amount of the gift conferred by the will upon the wife the test for determining whether it was the testator's intention that such gift was to be in substitution for a claim she in derogation of such claim? Even assuming that in had upon other property, which he has given to others any particular case the provision made for a wife is small, testators have a right to be, and often are, capricious. Again: a husband may know that his wife is well provided for aliundè; by his giving her, therefore, no more than a stranger, as in Warbutton v. exercised a sound discretion; although, as we have Warbutton, he may, under peculiar circumstances, have before said, he has a perfect right to be capricious. But how are we to determine what constitutes, to use the expression of Sir J. Stuart, V. C., " amplitude of provision?" How are we to draw a line between amplitude and exility? A "competency" has been defined as "a little more than a man has got." Perhaps "amplitude of provision" may be defined with as much, but not greater, legal accuracy; and if adopted as a test, or even as a governing circumstance," in determining the intention of a testator, it will lead to as much litigation as was occasioned by decisions as to what was an illusory and what a substantial execution of a power, upon which subject the observations of Sir W. Grant, M. R., are well worthy of perusal. (See Butcher v. Butcher, 9 Ves. 393). 66 In the report of Warbutton v. Warbutton it appears that the opinion of Sir J. Stuart, V. C., taken in chambers was in accordance with the opinion he afterwards expressed in court, viz. in favour of the widow not being put to her election. Now, a judge expressing an opinion in chambers has not the benefit of hearing the case argued before him by counsel, and may take a very decided view of a case either irrespective of, or after a full consideration of, the authorities. In the first instance it is probable that he would have a slight, in the latter a strong, though perhaps to himself in sensible, leaning or bias towards the opinion he has already expressed. This practice, therefore, is liable to all the objections so ably pointed out by Lord St. Leonards, (in his Treatise on the Law of Property as administered by the House of Lords), of an appeal from a Lord Chancellor in the court below to himself alone in the House of Lords. (See p. 35). It is submitted, that whenever a point of any difficulty arises in chambers, the judge should reserve his consideration of it for full discussion in open court; or, if he decides it in chambers, the appeal should lie, not to himself, but to the Lords Justices.
