pound per annum apiece if three or more to be pay by  halfyearly payment at ladyday and Michaelmas and to continue until the portion  shall become Payable respective the portion and maintenance to be raise out of  the rend peer William and profit or by sale mortgage or lease of the premise  and the portion to become Payable at their respective age of eighteen or  marriage which shall first happen the that of November sir Thomas palmer die  leave issue of the marriage three daughter only on a bill to take a account of  the estate and to have the direction of the court c a decree be make direct  inter all that the maintenance shall be pay accord to the settlement Aug  Elizabeth the old daughter attain her age of eighteen and her maintenance have  be pay till ladyday but because thefull half year be not due from that time  till her age of eighteen she have come of age before Michaelmas it be doubt  whether she be entitle to any maintenance from ladyday to the that of August  the settlement be that the maintenance shall be pay by half yearly payment at  ladyday and Michaelmas she therefore now petition to have her maintenance pay  from ladyday to the that of August master of the roll this case be not like  the case of rend which will not be Payable till the last moment of the day on  which it be express reserve in the lease as suppose a tenant for life make a  lease for year and die the day before the rend be due the rend be lose both to  the executor and the reversioner and the law be so equity will not relieve  though it seem a hard case see the case of jenner versus Morgan vol and the  late statute there refer to and which perhaps have the great reason for relief  because the tenant have enjoy the land out of which the rend issue the present  case be of a sum to be receive for maintenance which be always favour be for  the daily subsistence of the child it be not like interest peer William  because that be only for delay of payment of what be due but here the portion  be not due till eighteen or marriage and therefore no delay but perhaps it be  a strong case than that of interest reserve exact in the same word under the  same restriction at certain day and by halfyearly payment because this  maintenance be for the daily peer William er p support of the infant in the  present case the deed be in this respect pen very imperfect for want of a  proper sagacity in the drawer to foresee the several case which may happen  however the general intention be clear that maintenance shall be pay during  the whole interval of time from the commencement of the term till the portion  shall become due indeed the manner of word this clause can be exact satisfy by  any construction but that which come near to the sense and best answer the  general intention be that the maintenance shall be pay half yearly at  Michaelmas and ladyday in every instance where it can happen during the time  from the commencement of the term till the portion become Payable and where  that can be it be a case out of the direct provision of the settlement as to  the time of payment but within the general provision of the maintenance itself  which be express to continue till the portion become Payable and that must be  entire reject if nothing be Payable for the time from ladyday to the that of  August when the portion become due wherefore maintenance ought to be pay  during such interval of time in proportion which I order accord see also ante  Edward versus the countess of Warwick where the court apportion interest on a  mortgage so though a annuity be not general apportionable a annuity settle by  a husband on his wife for her separation maintenance have be apportion Howell  v Hanforth black Rep Anderson v Dwyer Sch l and see web v Lord Shaftesbury Ves  frank v noble Ves and note to ex part smyth swan so Wilson v Harman ves  Sherrard v Sherrard atk but it seem that this can be proper call a  apportionment since interest be in fact due on a mortgage from day to day so  on a bind banner v low Ves but the dividend on the public fund be make Payable  on certain day be not to be apportion Sherrard v Sherrard and Wilson v Harman  ub sup pearly v smith atk although in the two first of those case the one have  be direct in to be lie out in land and until the purchase to be invest in the  public fund and the dividend to go in the same way the rend and profit will if  the purchase be make and in the latter case the money have be original secure  by mortgage but by order of the court have be transfer to government security  peer
