cular treatise inculcating the supremacy of the Pope, and the deed contained a proviso that if the trust should be declared void, the trustees should hold the stock in trust for the grantor's executors and administrators. In that case the Court held that the trust had no impress of charity upon it, and was consequently not applicable to any charitable purpose, and that, as the particular purpose failed by reason of its illegality, the stock reverted to the grantor. Applying that principle to the present case, as there is no impress of charity upon the gift, the purchaser John Todd, and his representatives, would take the estate discharged from the illegal trust.
Mr. Kindersley, in reply.
The object of the testatrix was clearly charitable, though the mode in which she attemped to accomplish that object was illegal; and it devolves upon the Crown, therefore, to give effect to her charitable intentions cyprès. Todd purchased the estate expressly subject to the trust; and there is no pretence, therefore, for contending that he, or those who claim under him, can take the estate discharged from the trust.
Upon consideration of the paper of instructions, I think that the purpose of the testatrix in providing for the priest that was to serve at Stonecroft for ever was charitable, her intention being that such priest should be a help to poor Catholics.
The intention being charitable, was the proposed mode of carrying that intention into effect legal? Before the statute 2 & 3 W. 4. c. 115, there could, I apprehend, be no doubt that the proposed mode of carrying the charitable intention into effect was illegal, and the Crown would have been entitled, under the King's sign manual, to direct the application of the fund to other charities in a legal mode.
Has, then, the statute I have mentioned any operation in this case? The information was filed on the 5th of September 1831, against the persons in whom the property subject to the charge was vested, and against Edward Clavering, in whom it was alleged the rent-charge was vested. The Todds put in their answer in March 1832, and stated their belief that the rentcharge was vested in Edward Clavering, which it had been, but was not at the time. The stat. 2 & 3 W. 4. c. 115, received the royal assent on the 16th of August 1832. The information was amended, and Leadbitter made a party in January 1833, and he answered in June in the same year.
The third section of the statute enacts that nothing therein contained shall affect any suit actually pending or commenced, or any property then in litigation, discussion, or dispute, in any of his Majesty's courts of law or equity in Great Britain.
And although Mr. Leadbitter was, under a mistake, not made a party to this information, when filed before the statute, it is impossible for me to consider that this suit was not commenced, and that this rent-charge as against the property charged with it, and the persons liable to pay it, was not in litigation, discussion, and dispute at the time when the statute was passed, and I am therefore of opinion that the case must be determined, as if that act had not passed; and looking to that which I consider to be the established practice of this Court in cases where the purpose is charitable, but the mode of effecting it illegal, I am of opinion that it devolves upon the Crown to state to what charitable purpose the £20 a year is to be applied.
Mr. John Todd purchased the estate with full knowledge of the charge in 1822, and from that time appears to have refused to pay it; but I think that
his estate, and the persons who have possessed the property since his death, ought to be charged with the rent-charge from the time of his purchase.
Declare that the direction to pay £20 a year to maintain a priest to serve at Stonecroft was illegal and void, but that the sum of £20 a year was given for a charitable purpose, and that the same ought to be applied to some other charitable use; and that the appointment and direction of such other charitable use is in the Crown, and the Court recommends the Attorney-General to apply to the King for a sign manual to appoint and direct to what charitable use or uses the annual sum of £20, part of the said rent-charge of £32, and the arrears, shall be applied.
Take an account from the time of the purchase by John Todd: the costs of the informant as between party and party to be paid by the Todds; the costs of the trustee Leadbitter, and the extra costs of the informant, to be paid out of the arrears.
