:.Ir Putt, as Counsel for Mr. Perrin, the heir at
law, argued n..arly in a similar manna la support
of the voliciar of the restriftion.
Mr. Hoteovo spoke at ereat length, and with
great agility. against the validity at the restriaime
tie ,uren-ted, that, ender the will of this Testator.,
this estate vested immediately in his daughter, in
fie, to all intents arid purposes, and did not remain
contingent until her marriage, or her attaining the
age of twenty-one rare In support of this, he
coed, also. various cases. The restraint in this case
was c a) general, L. there was on difference betwixt
Scotchrisen and hnelishrrieni their manners, and
their religion, were th same. and their place of re-
sideeee could surely make no essential slifference,
The two matins were so united. since the
Union. that Sarah Perrin, the Testator's daughter,
miget have married a person whom she believed
VAS an Eneliblnan, while. in feet he might be a
Scot:hal:in. Was it just. that, in each case, she
should lose an estate ? 1,4 was evident that tbeTesta-
toes ;nuncios had been. for reasons best known to
kimself, to hang this proviso, is terrorent, for the
expess purpose of preventing, as he thought, an
improvident marriage; but the means whirl; he
had adopted were tar ton fp neral, as such a
i rovici attended both to provident and im-
provident marriages. it was clear, that her hus-
band WAS entitled to this estate a; tenant by cour-
tesy, and his son to the reversion' in fee. But even
suppoleg the restraint to be void, he submitted
that this estate Is not given over to the chiloren of
Joseph Perris., as Mr. Littledale contended, nor to
Joseph Perin himself, as Mr Park contended, be-
cause eh- hit at law was the daughter herself.—
Lord Maiofield told such resoles:ons, as to mar-
riages. as being west odious, and contrary to sound
*obey. By the Reveal law they were all void.
• Mr. Lie Tessa es replied at considerable length,
sad snood that the estate became absolute in the
i-ellatigh,er, and therefore the only question in this
Sipe was. whether this tse a legal restraint ot not ?
