Where the person deemed to be tenant-for-life of land devised to trustees upon trust for sale has entered into agreements for the sale of the land under the provisions of the Irish Land Acts, 1903-4, the Court, if satisfied that he is acting honestly and for the advantage of all persons interested, will give him leave to exercise his power of sale under the Settled Land Acts, although the effect will be that he will capture the bonus. The applicant was directed to bear his own costs, and the costs of the trustees were directed to be paid out of the trust fund. In re Iever's Settlement ([1904] 1 I.
