Possibility on a possibility
Possibility on a possibility. Lord Coke lays it down as a rule that the event on which a remainder is to depend must be a common possibility, and not a double possibility, or a possibility on a possibility, which the law will not allow. Thus he tells us that the chance that a man and a woman, both married to different persons, shall themselves marry one another is but a common possibility. But the chance that a married man shall have a son named Geoffrey is stated to be a double or remote possibility; see Williams on Real Property; 2 Rep. 51 a; 10 Rep. 50 b; Co. Litt. 184 a. The idea that there cannot be a possibility and a possibility seems to have been a conceit invented by Popham, C.J., but it was never really intelligible, Whitby v. Mitchell, (1890) 44 Ch D p. 92, per Lindley, LJ, and never applied to trusts of personal estate [Re Bowles, (1902) 2 Ch 650]. It gave rise, however, to the rule, now well settled in regard to limitations and trusts of realty created by instruments comin...

Mossman, (1869) LR 4 Ex 299; Maxwell on Statutes; Hardcastle on Statutes; Mew's Digest, tit.

Settled land
Settled land. For the purposes of the (English) Settled Land Acts, 1882-1890, 'settled land' meant land, and any estate and interest therein, which was the subject of a settlement; and 'settlement' meant any instrument, or any number of instruments, under which any land, or any estate or interest in land, 'stands for the time being limited to or in trust for any persons by way of succession' (Settled Land Act, 1882, s. 2) (see infra for the statutory definitions in the Settled Land Act, 1925, which has repealed the S.L. Acts, 1882-1890). Where the settlement consists of more instruments than one it is commonly called a 'compound settlement,' though this term is not defined in the Acts themselves; as to compound settlements, see Re Du Cane & Nettlefold, (1898) 2 Ch 96; Re Munday & Roper, (1899) 1Ch 275; Re Lord Wimborne & Browne (1904) 1 Ch 537; Wolstenholme & Cherry, Conveyancing, etc., Acts.Prior to 1856 settled estates could not be sold or leased except under the authority of some po...

Vert
Vert [fr. verd, Fr.; viridis, Lat.], otherwise called greenhue, everything that bears a green leaf within a forest that may cover a deer; but especially great and thick coverts. 'Vert, venison and inclosure' were three of the requisites of an ancient legal park; see Pease v. Courtney, (1904) 2 Ch 509, per Swinfen Eady, J.Manwood (part 2, p. 33) divides vert into overt-vert and nether-vert-the overt-vert is that which is termed haut-boys, and nether-vert, sub-boys-and into special vert, which is all trees growing within the forest that bear fruit to feed deer, because the destroying of it is more grievously punished than the destroying of any other vert. See 3 Steph. Com. And see per Bacon, V.-C., in Earl De la Warr v. Miles, (1881) 17 Ch D 570.Also that power which a man has, by royal grant, to cut green-wood in a forest.Also green colour, called Venus in the arms of princes, and Emerald in those of peers, and expressed in engravings by lines in bend, Heraldic term....
