is held in trust for sale, if the proceeds of sale and the rents until sale, or
any share thereof are settled in trust for a tenant for life or other limited
owner as there defined, the powers of sale and other powers of the Act were
vested in him; and although, by s. 56, the power of the trustees to sell was sale,

kept alive, the consent of the tenant for life or limited owner was made
necessary to its exercise; but this having been productive of great incon-
venience in practice, was altered by the Settled Land Act, 1884 (47 & 48
Vict. c. 18), s. 7, by which (sub-s. i.) the powers conferred by s. 63 of the
Act of 1882, on the tenant for life or other beneficial owner, are not to be
exercised without an order of Court; so that until such an order has been
obtained, the trust for sale remains unaffected, and any consent not required
by the settlement is not by force of anything contained in the S. L. A. 1882, to
be deemed necessary to enable the trustees to execute the trusts and powers
created by the settlement, S. L. A., 1884, s. 6 (1). On the other hand, if such
an order has been obtained, the powers of the trustees are thereby suspended
(see sub-s. iv.), but with a protection to persons dealing with them unless
the order is registered as a lis pendens (sub-s. vi.). See note on the Acts,
infra, p. 456 et seq.

If the sale is for payment of debts or legacies under a charge in the will, s. 63 of the Act of 1882 would not apply, and the power of executors to sell for payment of debts would also of course be paramount. It should be observed that the rule laid down in Re Tanqueray-Willaume and Landau, 20 Ch. D. 465, that where executors are selling real estate charged with debts after 20 years from the testator's death, a presumption arises that the debts have been paid, and a purchaser is therefore put on inquiry, does not in general apply to executors selling leaseholds under their common law power, unless the purchaser has notice that the bequest has been assented to: Re Whistler, 35 Ch. D. 561; see generally as to sales for payment of debts, 2 Dav. Prec., Pt. 2, pp. 468 et seq., note.

(c) If the mortgage is equitable only, it may and should (in order to keep it off the title) be discharged by a simple receipt on the deed or memorandum of charge, and the property conveyed as unincumbered; see 2 Dav. Prec., part 2, pp. 277, 821.
