HC Deb 28 July 1877 vol 236 c133

(Mr. Attorney General.)

COMMITTEE.

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

explained that the object of the Bill was to alter the present law, so that when property devised was subject to certain charges, or came to a person under an intestacy and was subject to charges, the person taking the property should be liable to the charges instead of having them paid out of personal estate.

Bill reported, without Amendment; to be read the third time upon Monday next.
