Presumption

Presumption, a supposition, opinion, or belief pre-viously formed, Wood's Inst. 599.Presumptions have been said to be either: (1) juris et de jure (irrebuttable); or (2) juris (rebuttable); or (3) hominis vel judicis (rebuttable, of fact). (1) The presumption juris et de jure is that where law or custom establishes the truth of any point, on a presumption that cannot be overcome by contrary evidence; thus, that a child under seven is incapable of committing a felony (2) The pr'sumptio juris is a presumption established in law till the contrary be proved, as the property of goods is presumed to be in the possessor; every presumption of this kind must necessarily yield to contrary proof (3) The pr'sumptio hominis vel judicis is the conviction arising from the circumstances of any particular case.

Only a donee in tail-special can become such a tenant, for if the entail be general, such a tenancy can never arise; for whilst he lives he may have issue, the law not admitting the impossibility of having children at any age. As an estate-tail is originally carved out of a fee-simpl...
