2. Where an English fubje&t in time of
war, who had received orders to
effect an infurance for a neutral fo-
reigner, opened the policy with his
ufual broker in his own name, but in-
forming him at the fame time, that
the property was neutral; this is a
fufficient indication to the broker that
the party acted as agent, and not on
his own account, and therefore the
broker has no lien on the policy fo ef-
fected for his general balance against
fuch agent, as between fuch broker
and the principal. Maans v. Hender-

3. An attorney has a lien upon a fum

ment of it to himself: and he shall not
be prejudiced by a collufive release
from the plaintiff to the defendant.

LIMITATION.

1. Cross-remainders cannot be implied
in a deed; and can only be raised by
proper words of limitation; however
plainly expreffed the intention of the
parties may be. Under a limitation
in a marriage fettlement to the use of
all and every the daughter and daugh-
ters of, &c. to be begotten, fhare
and share alike, equally to be divided
between them, and of the heirs of the
body and bodies of all and every fuch
daughter and daughters; and for de-
fault of fuch iffue to the right heirs,
&c. held, that there were no cross-
remainders between the daughters or

their iffue. Doe v. Worley, Eaft.
41. Geo. 3.

A power of appointment under a

marriage-fettlement, unto and among
all or any the child or children of the
marriage, for fuch eftates as the huf-
band and wife, or the furvivor of them,
should from time to time, either with
or without power of revocation, direct,
limit, or appoint, may be executed by
the furvivor, after a joint appointment,
referving to them and the furvivor a
power of revocation and appointment.
But under fuch power, if the fecond ap-
pointment be to the daughter of the
marriage for life, remainder to the
eldeft fon for life, remainder to truf-
tees to preserve contingent remain-
ders, remainder to the first and other
fons in tail, &c. remainder to the
daughter in fee; all the limitations
fubfequent to that to the eldest fon for
life are void, as being an excess be-
yond the power; and the ultimate
remainder dependant upon fuch in-
termediate limitations, though made
in favour of one of the objects of the
power, is alfo void; and fhall not be
accelerated by the event of fuch void
intermediate limitations not having
taken effect, for want of iffue male
of the eldest fon, &c. to whom the
appointment was made. For an ap-
pointment not good in its creation,
will not become fo by fubfequent
circumstances. And such an appoint-
ment being by deed, cannot be con-
ftrued cypres, fo as to give the fons
eftates tail, as perhaps might have
been the cafe if the appointment had
been by will. Brudenell v. Elwes,

A. engages as a partner in a parti

Two (of three) partners, who had

To a plea of fet-off of a fum due un-

feems that a replication, protesting
that the plaintiff did not acknow-
