Haskell v. House, 5 S.C.L. 242 (S.C. 1812).
Opinion
The will in this case gives the executors a bare, naked authority ; they have no interest in the-land itself. Until they exercise their power, therefore, it descends to the heirs. Co. Lit. 236. a. The will does not even authprise them to bring suit for the land; they were obliged to make use of the names of the heirs. I am of opinion, therefore, that the nonsuit should be set aside.
