Excerpt from A Practical Treatise of Powers, Vol. 2 of 2 Lord Rosslyn, in a still later case, (i) at first considered this doctrine very doubtful. He insisted, that in Cunningham v. Moody, it was not necessary to determine the point, and treated the case of Doe and Martin as a case of compassion. However the point did not then call for a decision; and in pronouncing his decree he did not advert to it. In a subsequent case he treated it as clear that the power did not prevent the estates from vest ing.(le) Without considering whether it was absolutely necessary to decide the point in Cunningham and Mo'ody, Lord Hardwicke's Opinion is too clearly expressed to be misunderstood. He said, that the power Of appointment did not make any alteration in vesting Of -the remainder in fee; for the only effect thereof was that the fee which was vested was thereby subject to be divested.
