Full Judgment

1. The first case is clearly distinguishable from that decided in 1884--[Reference under Stamp Act, Section 46 I.L.R. 7 Mad. 349 for there, there was an absolute and unqualified disposition of property by way of gift. Here there was a provision merely for the life of the donee with reversion to the settlor and his heirs. We think this document (No. 417 of 1897) is a settlement within the meaning of the Stamp Act.

2. The other document No. 1364 of 1897 is certainly neither a settlement nor a gift. There was consideration other than that of marriage. We think it must be treated as a conveyance and stamped accordingly.
