Thomas's Lessee v. Wootton

It was contended on the part of the plaintiff, that under the will, immediately on the death of the testator, an estate in the land vested in Mary Herd, and that on her death, without issue and intestate, the land was liable to be escheated. Boraston’s case, in 3 Coke 19, was relied on as in point — 2 Mod. 289, and Fearne Con. Rem. 318, were also cited.

Tee Generar Court gave judgment for the plaintiff for possession and costs.
