Excerpt from The Revised Reports, 1841-1844, Vol. 59: Being a Republication of Such Cases in the English Courts of Common Law and Equity, From the Year 1785, as Are Still of Practical Utility
You can find authority for anything in Beavan was a current saying among equity lawyers in our younger days. The reporters of Sir Edward Sugden's Irish decisions were more discriminating, or their Judge more cautious. But one cannot help thinking they reported something too copiously. We hope nobody will ever want to discuss a quasi entail of an estate par auter vie again: but Allen v. Allen, p. 696, is authority, and must stand on the chance of it. Mortimer v. Shortall, p. 730, is really important as laying down sound doctrine as to the evidence on which the Court acts in rectifying instruments: a doctrine, it may still be not superuous to observe, which has nothing to do with the Statute of Frauds.
