Opinion

The only question in this casé was, whether since the act respecting wills, (passed in 1785,) was in Coree; a man may devise lands which he should afterwards acquire?

*The court were of opinion he might; as that law in express terms permits the disposition, by last will, “of lands which the testator then hath, or may have at the time of his death.” In this respect it is different from the law of England.
