It seems to me that the argument of the defendant's counsel blows hot and cold at the same time. - Sir Francis Buller, 1st Baronet

Expressions used in particular cases are to be understood with relation to the subject-matter then before the Court.

If the law be thought to be improper or inconvenient, application to correct it must be made elsewhere, and not to those who are bound by the repeated and solemn judgments of their predecessors.

The Court is to pronounce according to the apparent intent of the testator, but that intent must be found in the words of the will, and is not to be collected by conjecture dehors the will.
