CORONER FOR MIDDLESEX. On Tuesday evening a meeting of the friends of Mr. Wakley (editor of the Lancet), one of the candidates for the office of Coroner, vacant by the death of Mr. Unwin, took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. The meet ing waft called for the purpose of adopting such measures as appeared best calculated to secure that gentleman's election. At right o'clock the Committee entered the room, which was tolerably well filled, and Mr. King, of Aldersgate street, was called to the Chair, having been proposed by Dr. A. Thompson. The CHAIRMAN was averse to forcing himself upon the notice of the freeholders of Middlesex ; but abler and more influential persona having hesitated, he was bound to obey the voice of the meeting. They were met then for the purpose of weighing the qualifications of Mr. Wakley for the office of Coroner. From the peculiar duties of that station he felt that they could only be properly discharged by one wko Was conversant with medical jurisprudence. Of Mr. Wakley'a medical talent and knowledge it was su perfluous to expatiate. It was just as absurd in electing a Coroner, ignorant of the details of medicine (as an in quest was of the nature of a medical inquiry) us to send for a butcher to shave, or to consult a lawyer on the brain fever. The evil of not having a medical man for such an office, was exemplified in France. Ile would be glad if any lawyer would come forward and tell him by what sign a person had ceased to exist. It was therefore possible that a non-medical Coroner might hold an inquest upon a man who was actually alive. The Chairman then cited a number °leases, which he affirmed could in no possibility have been determined by an ordinary Coroner. Infanti cide he considered indispensable to be investigated by amen thoroughly acquainted with the whole of the phenomena of accouchement, and the natural development of the fetus. He concluded by soliciting the support of the meeting for Mr. Wakley, and also to preserve, if needful, the harmony of the discussion. Dr. A. THOaU'SON asked the freeholders to come forward to support Mr. Wakley upon a principle not yet recog nised, but whidi, he trusted, would obtain. lie consi dered that a Coroner should possess a portion of legal in formation, in order to check a disposition in a lawyer who might be disposed to shield a murderer for the sake of emolument. Ile considered that the unfortunate Eliza Fenning bad been sacrificed from a want of medical expe rience in the Coroner. The speaker then stated a possible ease, in which he considered a father losing a daughter through the ignorance of the medical practitioner—but as the points of the case were so exceedingly parallel to an inquiry now pending, iu which Dr. Thompson is engaged, we omit it, from motives of delicacy. An individual having been supposed to call out that Dr. A. Thompson was intoxicated, was about to be summarily ejected, when Mr. fluwr begged that the gentleman might be allowed to remain, in order to be convinced of his mistake, and at this moment it was ascertained that the greater part of the assemblage in the room had been in the mistake, inas much as it was another individual that had called out; the person alluded to was intoxicated front his demeanour. Dr. A. THOMPSON, after powerfully urging by appro priate data the necessity of the freeholders of Middlesex to come forward heart and hand to support Mr. Wakley, concluded by moving, " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the duties of a Coroner render it highly de sirable that the parties holding the office should be con versant with medical science and legal knowledge." Mr. Evarss seconded the resolution. lie had been frequently shocked, as a medical man, on finding, in eases o f infanticide, that destroying the fauna at the period called quickening only was held to be murder; and that the foetus was supposed not to have life till ' that period, although only at that time a change in po sition simply took place, and the (fetus indubitably pos se•sed vitality from the moment of impregnation. Mr. SVakley, under all circumstances, was a gentleman highly qualified for the office of Coroner, both in regard to his very minute knowledge of every branch of medical science, and also from his competent legal information; as to the latter, no man could doubt, for he had beaten Sir James Scarlett even in his own Court.—(Laughter.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Score, of Regent-street, was practically convinced of the necessity of a medical man being Coroner; and, fully satisfied of the pre-eminent qualifications of Mr. Wakley to fill the office, he moved a resolution to that area. Mr. Ilurr rose to second the resolution, whicli he did more conscientiously, and with greater satisftction, than he had ever appeared to In a public act. Ile concurred in the opinion that Eliza Feinting owed her death to the ig norance of the medical man ; but he would go further and say that her final doom was sealed by her having been tried by a never-forgiving Judge. He would call their Wen- Om to the Coroner's verdict on a man murdered at Old- barn by a drunken yeoman. In consequence of the Co' LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1830. Toner being, a. lawyer, the matter never went before a Jury. When confined in Ilchester gaol, he caused inquiry to be made as to certain inquests held in the gaol, and some extraordinary facts came out in evidence. He be lieved that many a murder had been committed in prison which had never been brought to light, for want of an honest Coroner. • He thought that by returning Mr. Wak ley the freeholders would do themselves more honour than they ever had done themselves by any proceeding they had ever adopted. They had attained immortal honour in electing Mr. Hume as their parliamentary representative, but that was comparatively nothing to the manner in which they would distinguish themselves by the election of Mr. Wakley to the office of Coroner for the County ; because an individual more highly gifted with talents adapted to such an office could not be found.—(Applause.) Several other highly-respectable gentlemen, principal!) of the medical profession, but also consisting of tradesmen and lawyers, addressed the meeting in furtherance of its object ; and, after a number of resolutions had been carried without a single dissenting voiceor hand, a Committee was formed, who are to sit daily at the Crown and Anchor, and the meeting broke up. never conclusive, and In many cases it cannot be had. A change of the possession of the title-deeds does not, and cannot, always follow the creation of an interest in land. In case of a settlement by a te nant in fee, who retains an estate for life, the deeds are not parted with ; in this case the presumption fram the possession of the title-deeds altogether fails. There are other cases of the creation of partial inte rests, in which the deeds are retained by the party entitled to the possession of the land. And, where deeds relate to land which has become divided as to ownership, it is obvious that they can attend the possession of only one part of the land. So, secon dary and reversionary estates or charges are:not ac companied with the possession of the deeds. Be sides, duplicates are often executed of important deeds, such as settlements ; these sometimes afford to more than one party at the same time, the presump tion of ownership, arising from the possession of the deeds. Vi shall proceed to mention some of the various cases, in *Nob (else titles are most easily made by Suppression of documents. The seller or mortgagor may have been the abso lute owner of the fee simple, and may produce the. instruments by which his ownership was constituted; but he may have executed some settlement, by which his interest has been reduced to a tenancy for life. The possession of the estate and of the title deeds will have remained unchanged; and in order to impose on a purchaser, or lender of money, he need only .keep back the settlement. Again, the seller or mortgagor may be heir-at-law of the fast proprietor, and may claim as such heir, and may suppress u will giving him a limited inte rest.; or he may be heir-at-law, or general devisee, of some deceased proprietor, who may have made a settlement giving him a limited interest, and he may claim as such heir or devisee, and may suppress the settlement. A proprietor in possession may have mortgaged the estate, and having withholden or got back the 'deeds on some pretext from the mortgagee, and thus being in possession of the deeds, or else plausibly accounting for their non-production, and concealing the mortgage, he may offer the property as an unin cumbered security. Again, a settlement may have been executed, limiting a life-interest to the hu..bund, with power to appoint the estate to the issue of the marriage as he may think proper, and giving it, in default ofappoint ment, to the eldest son in fee or in tail. The eldest son, after the death of his father, may take posses sion of the property claiming under the limitation in default of appointment; he may sell it or mortgage it ; yet an appointment may have been made, under which the seller or mortgagor may have no estate, or a life estate only, or an estate charged with por tions for younger children. Again, various instances may occur, in which re vocation of former appointments may be suppressed, and the revoked appointments may be produced as giving a title. These are some of the cases in which the oppoi , tunity of fraud, by the suppression of deeds, most frequently occurs, and in which no special state of circumstances is requisite. In most of the cases we have referred to, and in many others of a similar description, which might easily be mentioned, where a putty is desirous of committing a fraud, the fraud can be practised with out difficulty ; it requires no skill, no acquaintance with the technical operation of legal instruments, no accomplice; and in most of the cases discovery is not likely to be immediate, mid frequently not to take place, until after the death of the patty prac tising the fraud. But it is important to observe that the same mis chief may arise, without intentional suppression or fraud, from accident, inadvertence, or ignorance. The deed not produced may have been misled or forgotten ; it may have been executed by a deceased party, and deposited with a stranger, and its exist ence may be unknown until it is casually discovered, or it may have been omitted to be Nought forward by the person in whose custody it was, front his not keowing . the nature of th e d ee d, or not understand ing its effect. The suppression, loss, or non-production we have adverted to, may have taken place during any of the successive ownerships through which the. property has passed during the whole period necessary for making a title. Notwithstanding the dangers thus to be en• countered, a person who has entered into a contract of purchase in the usual way, without any informa tion as to the title, is compelled to fulfil his contract, unless he can object to the title shown ; the pos. sible existence of documents unproduced not being a ground of defence. No doubt can be entertained that the mischiefs which might be expected to flow from such a suite of things exist to an extent which ssould alarm the holders and purchasers of lands, if they were aware of the risk to which they are exposed ; told that in a great number of instances estates, and especially securities for money, are defeated in consequence of latent effects of title arising from the non-production of documents. Au examination of the Appendix to this Report, and of that to 'our former Report, we believe will afford abundant evidence on this head, although it is to be observed that, owing to various causes, it is difficult to produce many instances svell authenticated. Cases which come into Courts of Justice do not appear in the printed Reports, unless they furnish occasion to lay down some new prin ciple of law; yet the records of conflicts between persons, who have taken successive securities on the same land, are sufficiently numerous : indeed, many of our text books contain distinct heads, with sub divisions referring to decided cases on various parts of the general subject. It is to be observed, that in most instances the case is so free from doubt, that the party against whom a document is brought for. ward, yields without a straggle, or upon terms of compromise, often without even taking the opinion of Counsel; and the professional agents employed on each side either keep no exact memorial of the transaction, or, for various reasons, may be supposed to be. unwilling to bring it to the public notice. It may be confidently said, however, that there is scarcely a professional man of considerable standing who has not met in his own practice with instances, or at least had some brought within his observation. But a very inadequate estimate will be formed of the evils of the present system from merely consi deringthe cases, in which a loss actually does arise to purchasers or mortgagees, from titles proving de fective in cons e q uence o f the suppression of deeds; it is a consideration of the greatest importance, end one which presents the existing evil in the strongest light, that in all transactions respecting 'sales and mortgagees of real property, suppression of title is treated as a risk to be apprehended, and against which it; is the . duty of the instituted In the process of a professiona l to ionaltc g;hard lay every means iu hit a li geio : e le st i title, r.it anyay onl y eritar e en,clite v it, e h r do c ument, iel j; pietliier,s,isnnc existence tahli t e% l:l le.oiri bi)yuta of various yariroo s u s s , 3 l , l tend sources of information, existing generally or in from the o particular . cas es, cctt pie are r of h resortedte o' Inquiries are made lands and from persons w h o 11 414 1 long dwelt in the neighbourhood ; county odt a euu n eti t : l t;:s l it o :f e jiol a tiris l t . ,:g h itgl i ti s :).(a t el i: ult r ttt i sts e x s fe:, : osi rtrselee ssments, awards under mega. the Crown, grants of ennui. ties, records of fines end recoveries, enrolments of assignment, operates as a protection against secr e t' The mode in which a terra, attendant by express' ' estates and Astir§ may be thus illustrated :—Tho owner of the inheritance, with the benefit of an 'at, tetulant term, makes a settlement or a mortgage ; o p confesses a judgment, and no step brisket) to matte the term a protection to the settlement, tk o ; ft , I lie afterwards conveys the inheritanee Lou pur . el it no not 14'er for valuable consideration, , who has these acts of the vendor, situ who takes the ft,, le .„ 6 „ ftt tiou of obtaining the command of the tei m l- 1,;": assignMent of it to a trustee for his b el n itfit. if a u : jargons claiming UM or the settlement, tscc„ inotittnt 1I proceedings against the purchaser for tl I* 1 . ment of their claims, he may deterit is ' ebt " )113 l ; fur a long setting up the term.

[1 he following is an authentic copy of Sir Jeffrey Wyatville's statement of the causes for the exzess of expenditure beyond the original estimate) : Windsor Castle, June, 1830. It becomes a matter of propriety in the firs stance, to account for the deficiency in amount of the original estimate now exhausted. The estimate was formed in a general way, from the approved designs whilst his Majesty resided in the Castle. Of course every thing was calculated upon the cursory view of the apparent strength and state of repair then visible. But on his Majesty's quitting his residence, and the work then being commenced upon, it became instantly visible that the floors were worn out, and the timbers ',often. The investigation being pursued through the whole of the eastern and nearly the extent of the southern sides, all the large beams, and the greater part of the smaller timbers proved to be rotten, and very little hold left on the walls. This was equally the case with both floors and roofs, and it was deemed prudent to remove them. Thus, instead of a repair, the whole, as a matter of course, required to be new. The timbers taken down were completely rotten through their whole length; they have been long exposed to the public view. This through removal of the timbers, old decayed wainscotting and plaste r i ng , exposed ie cracks and various fissures in the walls, showing their dilapi dated state, and the dan ger f rom b ro k en flues. The bad state of the inner wall was, in addition to the decay of time, increased by the Castle having been tenanted by distinct families, who had not used much forbearance in cutting door-walls, flues into the walls, and even two or three feet into the walls, to enlarge rooms, or make closets. Thus — the whole bec ame , what .is called by work men, gutted ; the old walls have been carefully re paired, and new ones built where necessary. The works have been carried on under the clear conviction of its being a public benefit to execute all the parts determined upon in a substantial manner, rather than to attempt a show by vamping up a greater quantity. In addition to the above the expense has also been increased by taking advantage of the necessary renewing of the roof, to place the new one higher on the east and south sides, so as to give a complete story for his Majesty's servants, and also for those of his Majesty's visiters. Another addition to the expense has arisen from the necessity of rebuilding the Chester Tower on the east side and the tower at the north-east corner instead of the old shattered one. A considerable addition to the expense, that could not be contemplated in the first instance, has arisen from the necessity of carrying the foundation of the corridor or long gallery as low as ten or twelve feet through the made ground to the solid chalk along the south side : but this has produced the advantage of giving coal-vaults. For the want of such vaults great inconvenience had formerly existed. The expense has also been enlarged by making a new drain or sewer along the east and south sides of the quadrangle, and collateral drains to the various parts of the building, to avoid the constant stench arising from the various little cesspools sunk into the ground as receptacles from the water-closets, pipe', and drains. _ _ - The great north drain or common sewer was dis covered to be so much out of repair, that the water flowed into the footing of part of the walls, and by a current beneath washed away the bottom. The gas pipes and additional water mains. It may not be necessary to proceed with enume rating every separate cause of excess, for at each part that has been touched the effects of decay are the same. In considering the whole impartially, it is neces sary to draw attention to the thickness of the walls, the great masses of the construction, the varieties of the materials, the irregularity of the angles, and of the levels of the floors, in order to give some idea of the difficulties that have arisen. It would be a vague method to judge of this work like a common square building, by fret and inches, or pounds weight; but, to be near the truth, the imagination lhould be extended to acres and tons. Experience teaches that the proper way to pro. teed with a work of this description would be to determine the limits of parts of the building that should be restored or repaired, and to carry such de. termination into effect in the most substantial and proper mariner, making good the expellee that would be incurred; and it has hitherto been carried on under ►uch understanding, which has probably been the cause of the general satisfaction expressed by those who have investigated the improvements.

The Editor of the l'ilrnier's Journal - in noticing a former edition of this work, say?, "Mr. MOIMRAY'S little book on the breeding, rearing, and fattening all kinds of domestic poultry and pigs, is unquestionably the most practical work en the subject in our language. The author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible terms. Th e con venience of a small poultry -yard —two or three pigs, with a breeding sow—and a sots for cream, milk, butter, and cheese-..in an English country-house, appear. indispen sable; and to point out how these may be obtained, at a reasonable expense, seems, to have been Air.

PRINCE POLIGNAC'S CHILDREN, The Prince Polignac's children have arrived at the Countess of Newburgh's, Slindon House. They came from France with the Ex-King, accompanied by a nurse and the Prince's valet (the nurse and valet are man and Wife) *and on landing proceeded direct to Slindon. The following narration of the mode of effecting their escape, as delivered by the valet, may perhaps be interesting. There are four children, two by a former wire, (who was an Eng lish lady) and two by the present Princess. Their ages are 13, 10, and G ; the youngest is quite an in. fant. When the disturbances broke out at Paris, the children, with their nurse and the valet, were at the Prince's country house about 30 miles from Paris. Hearing that the King was on the road to Cherbourg, they determined on following him. They accordingly left the house nt midnight, habited in the garb of poor persons, and hid themselves in an outhouse. At day-break they commenced their journey, walking, .and occasionally riding in carts, Sic, as opportunities *presented themselves. The valet and nurse represented themselves as husband and wife (as really the case) and the children as their offspring. The valet had his marriage certifi cate in his pocket. They were stopped at every town and village by armed men and strictly exa mined; but so well did they sustain the character they had assumed, that they were suffered to pro ceed without experiencing any inconvenience and but little delay. In one town the valet evinced great presence of mind. On Ihe authority before whom they were taken examining the marriage cer tificate, and observing the date, he looked at the two eldest children and said—" Why this certifi leate only bears date so and so, and yet your second child cannot be less than 10 or 11 years, old." The valet immediately replied that he was sorry to be under the necessity in this instance of speaking the truth; but the fact was that his wife had borne him the two eldest some years before they were married. This explanation was considered satisfactory and they were passed on. They eventually reached Cherbourg one day before the King, in u state of exhaustion. There are now at Slindon the Marquis de Montmorenci, his wife and seven children, and the Prince Polignac's four chi Idren.—Brighton Guardian. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. REAL PROPERTY. The Second Report made to his Majesty by the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Law of England respecting Real Property, has just been printed and delivered. It is an important document, but of such immense length that we can only give in parts, which we shall do from day to day, un le whole is concluded. NO. L—TO THE KiNG'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, IN Ills HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY. We who have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seals, Commissioners appointed by your Majesty to inquire into the law of Englund respect ing reel property, in pursuance of the permission given to us to certify our proceedings from time to time to your Majesty, as the same are completed, humbly present to your Majesty the result of our deliberations on a General Registry of Deeds and Instruments relating to Land. This has appeared to us to exceed in magnitude and importance ell the other subjects within the scope of our Commission : it has excited general interest, and we have found it to be so connected with almost every part of the Law of Real Property, that the nature and details of any improvements to be proposed by us, must greatly depend on the ques tion, whether all deeds and instruments affecting the title to land shall be registered, or whether the security of title is still to rest on other expedients. In all civilized countries, the title to land depends in a great measure on written documents, and the purchaser looks, and is empowered by th e l aw to look, for proof of the seller s right beyond the fact of his possession. It is obvious that a documentary title cannot be complete, unless the party to whom it is produced can be assured, that no document which may defeat or alter the effect of those which are shown to him, is kept out of sight. It follows that means should be afforded by the law for the manifestation of all the documents necessary to complete the title, or for the protection of purchasers against the effect of any documents which, for the want of the use of such means, have not been brought to their knowledge —in other words, that there should be a General Register. But, before a conclusion thus easily arrived at can be wisely made the foundation of practical measures, various matters of the utmost importance must be maturely weighed. . Innovation on a com plicated and long-established system, such as that of our Law of Real Property, must be productive of many inconveniences, permanent or temporary, and may be attended with evils difficult to be prevented, or even to be foreseen. It should be shown that the existing evils are great ; audit should be made out, to a reasonable degree of certainty, which must be founded on a careful investigation of facts and mature deliberation, that the proposed remedy is practicable, and that it will be effectual, that it is the best that can be devised, and that it will not itself be an evil, or productive of evils, equal, or nearly equal, to those against which it is provided. We have considered the subject in all the above points of view. In order to assist our judgment, we have extensively circulated amongst the Mem. hers of the Profession of the Law, questions relat ing to the general measure, and to various matters of detail connected with it. These have produced communications of great value. Many gentlemen have attended us, and undergone examination. We have obtained information respecting the systems of registration, established under various modifications, of t h e ortemr} t i iii t a i m y Avye: o li f eiel t trar l i l esi e ca C ()au o iri r sd i teiFens your acquainted Col theo IStatesoiidieest;k7ol details established in two of the most con , s:derable English counties, in Irel a nd, an d i n S cot l an d . We ought t o a dd , that we have derived assistance from several able works, which have recently ap peared on the subject ; and on the whole, we trust, that all the important facts and arguments on both sides of the question have been brought under our vies'. st.;llltobrai . % t V ‘ tv i ie t l h su e ch sv i tetiibl is a rh : ;n e n : : ea t; and tl s s , loyf am a nci f e t a c ti r oi ratt,anxiouse lt c oncl u sion,li- will be exp e di ent . i We shall proceed to point out the principal evils, which we consider to result from the existing state of the law, and which a General Register is adapted to remove. The most important evil is the insecurity of title. When the party, in whom a documentary title is shown, is in possession of the land, by occupation or receipt of the rents, and also has possession of the documents, by which his title is show►►, u purchaser from him is furnished with all the groundS of assn. ranee of which the law admits, that the title pro duced is the whole title, that is, in effect, the true title; all beyond this is mere confidence. fat possession of the land is no proof of the ex tent of the interest under which it was acquired ; and when the interest acquired was the fee-simple, the possession may continue, after a partial disposi tion, as a mortgage, or charge, or settlement.. It is obvious, that With regard to all future interests, the. presumption of title arising from possession is out-of the question. .As to the title•deeda, the possession of them is PRICK 71). record, securittee given to the Crain, probatea of wills and grants of administration, and various other species of documents. In every Case, except where the property is too small to make risk important, us compared with present expense, investigations of this nature, adapted to the circumstineet, are pro secuted to a great extent, and they occasion a con siderable portion of the delay and expense, Which are felt to be the great evils now attending the transfer of real property. It may here be observed, that as to such 'of the above documents as are to be found by 'search at any repository, a species of registry does exist; and it happens that many deeds and documents of minor importance relating to land are required by our law to be thus registered, while with respect to the greater number, and those the most iniportant, no provision is made. In the ease of wills such - regis. tration is required, whenever they happen tealfect personal estate; but not if they relate to real pro perty only. These registers, however, are of a very imperfect description ; they lie in various places, and are e.tablished on no uniform system. The mesas of search, due facilities for which are essavist to a Register, are as to som e o f t h e above docu. ments imperfect, as to most of them, highly incon venient and burthensome. Upon the establishment of a General Register, these searches would, for the most part, become unnecessary, or might be pro vided for with greatly diminished inconvenience and expense. However, all the.means of inquiry and 'invel, tiga don. which our pr ese n t l a s e a d m i t* of, when prose cuted to the fullest 'extent, go butts fettle way to remove the insecurity of title , arising from the pos sible existence of documents not produced.: Ac cordingly, the ingenuity of lawyers husilor a long period, been employed in devising e n d maturing other expedients , for - 'which purpose they have :nailed themselves • of some peculiarities - of our system •of 'law; the nature of these expedients we shall proceed to state. . The principal expedient-is cleared fromthe:pro tection afforded by legal estates,. ante upon team sub ject it is necessary to enter into Some delude. According to the Law of England the right to the possession, and to. recover the rents and pritits of real property in a Court of Law, may be vested in one person, while another is the beneficial owner. The person who is entitled at.law is technically said to have the'legal estate,. and the beneficial owner is technically said to have the equitable estate. Al! All actions and p r oc ee di ngs i n C ourts o f Law mu st be brought and defended in the name of the person who has the legal estate; the person who has the equi table estate c a n on ly en f orce hi s rights through the medium of a Court of Equity. The sepal-whin of the legal from the equitable estate is resorted to for various important purposes. The usual mode of securing money on land is by mortgage, which is a conveyance of the legal estate to the mortgagee, upon condition that, if the debt and interest be paid on a day fixed in the deet --- the estate shall cease, or be re -conveyed. If, as usually is the case, the debt and interest are not paid at the time appointed, the land at law belongs to the Mort gagee : but the mortgagee has, in equity, a right to redeem his land on payment of the debt and interest. This right is called nn equity of redeinptiren Where the owner of land has to provide for claimants ripen him, such as his wife, children, or creditors, the pur pose can be most conveniently effected by vesting the legal estate in a third person as a trustee'. The estate vested In a mortgagee or trustee is frequently a long term of years. During the continuance of the term in the mortgagee or trustee, he is consi dered to hold the land, subject to the security for the money, or to the declared trusts, in trust for the persons, who would have been beneficially entitled if the legal and equitable 'estates had not been separated. When, in the case of a mortgage, the debt and interest are paid off, or when, in the case of a trust, the trust is performed, or becomes unnecessary, and the term has not determined by virtue' of aproviso for that purpose, the person entitled to thebeeeficial interest can require the parson possessed of the out• standing term to transfer it to him, or as be May direct. If it be transferred to him, it is united with the reversion, and becomes extinct; if he neglect to call for the transfer- , of the rermi,rite, presort pea. ceased of It is a trustee fur the persons, *ho shall from time to time, subject to the term, be the owners of the land according to their interests, and the term is raid to be attendant ors the inheritance by construction of equity. If the person beneficially entitled neglect to call for a transfer of the term until a sale or mortgages has been agreed to be made, the purchaser or snorts gagee usually requires it to be assigned to a trustee for his benefit in trust, us it is technically called, to attend the inheritance. The effect of a term being attendant on the inhe ritance by construction of equity is, that the person in whom it is. vested, and slats every person who shall from time to time succeed to it, holds it in trust for all persons, according to their priorities, who shall be interested in the reversion expectant on the term. The estates or charges to which such persons are entitled, although they attach on .the re version ut law, are equitable interests during , the term ; however, the beneficial interest during this term, and the beneficial interest in the reversion, being both vested in the same person,. they are not considered distinct interests; but, by analogy to the law respecting merger, by which the legal interest in the term would become extinguished in the revers 'ion, if they were to meet in the same person, they are considered to he united, and thus, if the rever sion be of the nature of freehold, are desectable during the terns as real estate. When the term is made attendant on the titmice by an express ussignment to a trustee, it is deduct' to be either for the benefit of some partici' lar person, or for the benefit of persons claiming under some particular instrument, •and to protect such persons against all mesne incumbreticee,' that is, all estates and charges which may h a ve beets created intermediately between the commencement of the term and the assignment. The effect of ob.. tabling an express assignment is, that the trustee holds the term in trust for the persona entitled to the reversion, according to the declaration its the deed of assignment ; and the conseqeenee is, that such persons will be protected against 'estates or charges, whi c h would have lead precedence if the term had continued attendant by construction .'of. equity. The only person-who can obtaiti this pros. tection is a purchaser for valuable oonsideration;i without notice of such estates. or eharges, , gitory • person who takes any estate or charge in .consitlessiii, tine of marriage, money, or other- equivalent, tar deemed a purchaser for valuable consideration. , Dower is the only interest against whichu purchaser with notice Can protect himself by the •assignment of a term.
