Notes for North Surridge:
Mr. Harding Newman's huntsman - the first he had so far as we know - was Richard Fairbrother, who was born in Essex in the year 1734. He was always fond of hunting; and, after filling various situations, the nature of which we are not told, he took service with Mr. William Russell, of Slubbers, near Romford, "the fame of whose foxhounds," an old historian tells us, " everyone must recollect," yet we may search in vain for any notice of this, at one time, famous kennel, nor can we learn anything of Mr. North Surridge, or Mr. or Capt. Saich, who were likewise masters of hounds.
Amongst Mr. Neave's field were many who have been mentioned in previous chapters ; such as Lord Maynard's son (father of the present Lady Warwick), Mr. Tufnell, the Revs. J. Arkwright, J. B. Stane and C. Tyrell, Mr. Hankey, Tom Mashiter, John Stallibrass, Tom Webb, lim Cassidv, and Georoe Orbell. Other " regulars" w-ere " thrusting Jack Hammond," who was as great an acquisition in the hunting field as in the smoking-room ; he always had a good story to tell, and was always ready to lend a horse or a "fiver" to any friend ; Tommy Crooks, the l)utcher, of Chelmsford, who always seemed to enjoy his day : Captain Kingscote, Mr. Lane, the Commissi(jner of P)ankruptcy, who "would charge e'en the Thames if it ran in his way," and who also kept a pack of beagles ; bold Mr. Balfour; "JackJudd with his neat bit of blood;" " Parson" Simms, who generalh' rode a grey ; " Parson " Billy Tower, who'll stick to McAdam from Fyfielcl to lladham; " John Hill; John Chandlers, North .Surridge, who had hunted the South Esse.x; Colonel Vyse, Mr. Harrington

Date From 1802 Date To 1822

Will.-A testator gave the interest of 3,000. stock to his wife for life, and after her decease, the interest of 1,000., part of the 3,000., to his daughter E. for life, and then to her issue; and as to another 1,000., to his daughter M., and all her issue at twenty-one, with trusts for maintenance; and if she should not leave issue at her decease, or they should not attain twenty-one, to the issue of his daughters E. and S. equally, in the same terms as the former gift; and as to the remaining 1,0001., to his daughter S., and her issue after her decease. He then directed a valuation of his farm stock, and gave the amount, thereof and all his personalty and estate whatsoever, to his sons J. and T. equally, and appointed his sons R., J., and T. residuary legatees, subject to payment of 101. a-year to his wife out of the valuation.

By a codicil the testator gave to his daughter M. 1,000?. Consols for life, and after her decease to her issue; and in default of issue, to her two surviving sisters' issue at twenty-one. M. survived her two sisters, and was not married, and the testator left grandchildren and great-grundchildren:-Held, that M. took for life only, that the three sons of the testator, R., J., and T., all took the residue, and their issue, at M.'s death, took as purchasers as joint tenants; that is, such issue as were either alive at the testator's death, or came into esse before the death of M.

The questions in this case arose on the will of North Surridge, dated 3rd April, 1811, whereby he gave the interest and dividends of 3.000Z. Irish 51. per Cents, to his wife Martha for life, and after her decease he gave the interest and dividends of l.OOOZ., part of the 3.000Z. to his daughter, Elizabeth Fitch, for life, and then to her issue; and after the decease of his wife he gave the interest and dividends of 1,OOOZ. Irish 51. per Cents, to his daughter Martha Surridge for life, and then for all and every her issue, equally to be paid and transferred as and when they attained twenty-one, and the interest and dividends to be applied for their maintenance; but in case she should not leave issue at her decease, or such issue should not attain twenty-one, then unto all and every the issue of his daughters Elizabeth Fitch and Sarah Surridge equally, in the same way as in the prior gift: and upon and after the decease of his wife he gave and bequeathed the interest and dividends of the remaining 1,0001. of the 3.000L to his daughter Sarah for life, and to her issue after her decease. And after directing a valuation of his corn and live stock,
The testator died on the 19th February, 1812, the widow in March, 1827, having received the dividends and enjoyed the other bequests during her life. Robert died in 1849, leaving North Surridge surviving, and he died in January, 1860, and appointed the plaintiffs executors, who also, therefore, now represented the original testator. Martha, the daughter, lived till 31st July, 1861, and was never married, and survived both her sisters, Sarah and Elizabeth. Sarah married John Smith and had five children, and died in June, 1861. Three of these children attained twenty-one, and one of the daughters survived her mother and died under twenty-one, as did the remaining child, and both these two died unmarried. Elizabeth Fitch survived her husband and died in 1838, leaving five children, who all attained twenty-one. Of these one was in America, another died in 1836 intestate, two (daughters) were unmarried, and the other was married and had two children, both now infants. At the death of the testator the issue of Elizabeth Fitch living were four, at the death of Martha Surridge, the daughter, fifteen. On the death of Martha Surridge, the daughter, questions arose as to the construction of the will in the events that had happened, and chiefly what was the effect of her having survived both her sisters, with respect to the l.OOO/. Consols given by the codicil, and whether Robert was included in the residuary bequest? Thomas Surridge died in 1817 and John in 1828, both leaving issue. This bill was filed in February, 1863, praying the construction of the will.

Charles Browne, for the plaintiffs, the trustees who had filed the bill, stated the points for argument.

W. W. Mackeson, for the issue of Elizabeth Fitch and Sarah Surridge.- As to the legacy in the will, the word issue must mean children and remoter issue living at the death of the testator, and who were born subsequently up to the death of Martha; and as to the legacy in the codicil the word issue in the gift (to the issue of Martha), and in the gift over, must mean the same class, and default of issue therefore must mean default of issue to take under the previous limitation, so that it was immaterial whether the word issue in the limitation meant issue living at the death of Martha, or any issue who might have been born between the death of the testator and the death of Martha, in either view the gift over would be good. He also argued that the word surviving might be construed " other," or, at all events, that as the gift was to the issue of the surviving children, the testator could not have intended a contingent gift, and that he must substantially have meant the issue of the two sisters to take at all events; and that the issue took as tenants in common, because of the words " as they should arrive at the age of twenty-one years ": Towns v. Wentworth (6 W. R. 395; 11 Moo. P. C. 526); Ginger v. White, (Willes, 348); Kirkpatrick v. Kilpatrick (13 Yes. 476); Sheppard v. Lessingh>im (Ambl. 122); Re Wyndham's Trust (1 L. R. Eq. 290); Westwood v. Souther (2 Sim. N.S. 192); Re Wynch's Trust (3 W. R. 750; 6 D. M. G. 188); Knight \. Ellis (2 Bro. C. C. 570; 2 Jarm. on Wills, 234); Hand v. North (12 W. R. 229).

C. Ward, for Samuel Fitch the younger, and William Claydon and Jane his wife, took the same view.

Warner, for Hester Martin, the representative of Thomas Surridge, argued that the gift over of the l.OOOL Consols mentioned in the codicil to the issue of Elizabeth Fitch and Sarah Surridge never took effect, for (1) the word surviving " could not be construed " other," there being only three sisters in all, nor could the word be struck out of the codicil altogether; and (2) the gift over on the death of Martha without issue was void for remoteness: Tudor's Lead. Gas. Conv. (Forth v. Chapman); Jee v. Audley (1 Cox, 324); Darley v. Martin (13 C. B. 683).

Crossley, for Robert and North Surridge, the representatives of Robert Surridge, supported the same view as Warner with regard to the construction of the codicil.

Robert's claim to share as one of the residuary legatees being conceded, this point was not argued.
