Definition of Sack Vi Me West V. Viscount Holmesdale

(L. R. 4 H. L. 543). In construing executory trusts the Court exercises a large authority subordinating the language to the intent.
The Countess Amherst by a codicil gave certain freeholds, leaseholds, copyholds and chattels to trustees in trust to settle them as nearly as might be practicable with the limitations of the barony of Buckhurst, i. e., after the decease of the Countess de la Warr to R. W. Sackville West and the heirs male of his body, and in default of such issue to the third, fourth and fifth sons of the Countess W. and the heirs male of their bodies. Held, by the House of Lords that the estates ought to be limited in a course of strict settlement to the second and other younger sons of the Countess de la Warr for their respective lives without impeachment of waste, with remainder to their sons successively in tail male in the order of the barony ; and that the copyholds, leaseholds and chattels were to go in a similar manner so far as the rules of law and equity would allow
