The Law Reports (House of Lords, Scotch and Divorce Appeals)
LR 1 ScDiv 136
[HOUSE OF LORDS]
MR. AND MRS. DIGGENS APPELLANTS; AND GORDON et al. RESPONDENTS.
1867 May 20.
THE LORD CHANCELLOR, LORD CRANWORTH, LORD WESTBURY and LORD COLONSAY.
Conquest
— Ante-nuptial Trust.
The word “conquest,” when used as a verb active, and not as a noun substantive, has a wide and flexible signification.
Where a lady had, by ante-nuptial settlement, assigned and conveyed to trustees whatever she might “conquest or acquire” during the marriage:—
Held, that the words, “conquest” and “acquire,” so used, were sufficient to pass to the trustees property of every kind which during the marriage had come to her by succession.
Costs
— Appeals not encouraged.
