Excerpt from The Revised Reports, Vol. 90: 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; 1851-1853
In Russell v. Jackson, p. 336, the Court had to face the problem of discovering what were the doctrines Of Socialism founded by Robert Owen, or what other doctrines of Socialism (if any such there were) the testator intended to promote. The solution, like many solutions of no less awkward problems, was worked out by a Master in Chambers, and it does not appear whether the testator's intentions, when ascertained, were held lawful or otherwise. At all events we may collect that in this country the Court does not presume all and every doctrine called Socialism to be illegal.
