The grantee en roture was governed by the same rules as the one en censive except with respect to the descent of lands in cases of Intestacy.
"Lord Elgin"
John George Bourinot
In his institutes, he described the doctrine of coverture as "With respect to such part of the wife's personality as is not in her possession, as money owing or bequeathed to her, or accrued to her in case of Intestacy, or contingent interests, these are a qualified gift by law to the husband, on condition that he reduce them into possession during the coverture, for if he happen to die, in the lifetime of his wife, without reducing such property into possession, she and not his representative will be entitled to it.
"Our Legal Heritage, 4th Ed."
S. A. Reilly
In the second generation, his grand-daughters Rachel Martin of the elder branch and Marie Priaulx of the younger, contended at law for the inheritance after some Intestacy: and a terrible lawsuit raged in Chancery for 150 years, between the Tuppers and the Benyons,-and was carried even to the House of Lords, being finally decided in my memory for the Benyons.
