COMMON LAW REPORTS. 65 are, therefore, of opinion that there was evidence to show the existÂence of such a portion of land, corresponding with the description in the deed, and that it was traversed by the Railway. We think that the deed contains a sufficiently adequate description of the premises to bring this case within the rule laid down in Llewellen v. Jersey; and that the words " described in the annexed map " are to be regarded as the falsa demonstratio, and that therefore they are not to be considered as the operative part of the conveyance. Therefore the first exception must be allowed, and a venire de novo awarded. As to the second exception, we think it must be overÂruled, en the authority of Errington v. Rorke ; and that the third exception must be allowed. Venire de novo. DELACHEROIS v. DELACHEROIS. M. T. 1856. Nov. 24, 25. H. T. 1857. Jan. 18, 19. BILL OF EXCEPTIONS.-This was an action of ejectment upon the Lands once severed from a title, tried before Mr. Justice BALL, at the Summer Assizes 1856, for manor cannot be re-annexed the county of Down, and was brought to recover the possession of thereto by pur chase, so as to the lands of Ballyhaise. The facts were as follows :-In the year pass under a previous de 1836 (and before the passing of the Wills Act), Daniel Delacherois, vise of the deceased, made his will, bearing date the 3rd of March, by which he manor. Semble- devised all his real estates in the county of Down, or elsewhere, to They may be so re-annexed two trustees and their heirs, in trust for his sister Mary Delacherois, by escheat. Semble- for life, with power for her to appoint the same to the children of The rents and Samuel Delacherois, the testator's brother, for life, with remainders service re-annexed to to the first and other sons of such children, in tail. Subsequently to by purchase. the date of this will, the testator Daniel Delacherois purchased the lands which were the subject-matter of the present action, and which were conveyed to him by a deed bearing date the 1st of March 1842; whereby, in consideration of the sum of £7000, J. H. VOL. 7. 9 L 66 COMMON LAW REPORTS. M. T. 1856. Bradshaw conveyed the same to the testator and his heirs. Under CommonPleas. the latter deed it appeared that the lands in question were liable to DELACHEROIS V. a chief rent of £2 per annum, and the conveyance of the land was DELACHEROIS subject to that rent. The testator died on 1st October 1850. Mary Delacherois entered into possession as tenant for life, and by her will, bearing date the 4th of June 1852, she exercised the power of appointment created by the testator's will, in favour of the defendant and his issue. The plaintiff in the present action was the eldest son of Samuel Delacherois, the testator's brother, and the defendant was his second son. The latter entered into possession after the death of Mary Delacherois. The plaintiff's case at the trial chiefly rested upon the above facts, which were not disputed by the other side. The defendant relied upon the following facts, viz. :-That the lands in question had formed a portion of the manor of Donaghadee, and that the testator, at the time of making his will, was lord of the manor ; and that the language of the will was sufficient to pass the manor ; and that he having subsequently purchased these lands, which had been part and parcel of the manor, they became thereby re-annexed to the manor, and passed under his will as parcel of such. To sustain this case, the defendant gave in evidence a patent of the reign of Car. 1, dated 1625, and made to Lord Viscount MontÂgomery, under which the manor of Donaghadee was created, with power of infeudation, in fee-simple or fee-tail, to be held of Lord Montgomery, notwithstanding the Statute of Quia Employes. He also gave in evidence several deeds and wills, under which he deduced the testator's title to this manor, and he examined several witnesses to prove the holding of a Manor Court, the appointment of seneschals from time to time, and the attendance of the tenants of Ballyhaise as jurors at the Manor Court. He also proved that Daniel Delacherois had occupied from 80 to 100 acres of demesne lands, and that there was an old castle of Donaghadee. At the close of the defendant's case, his Counsel, who sought to establish the existence of a manor, called upon the learned Judge to direct the jury to find for the defendant, upon the authority of the following passage from 2 Shep. Touch. (Preston):-"If there be lord and " tenant, and the lord purchase the tenancy, by this means the " services are released, and extinct at law, and the lands become COMMON LAW REPORTS. 67 " parcel of the manor, and pass under that denomination, and may M.
