case lloyd versus williams come on upon exception January SC barn Charles a by  will in create a trust term of year for the payment of debt and legacy to be  pay within five year after his death and by a codicil devise the same estate  to trustee and their heir to pay the wife during her life pound per and and  with the surplus profit his debt and legacy the testator widow do not die till  the question be whether a legatee for pound and a simple contract creditor for  pound S be entitle to interest upon the legacy and debt and from what time  Lord Hardwicke hold that interest on the legacy begin at the expiration of the  five year and allow interest on the debt only from the time it be ascertain by  the master report and confirm in Mr anwell by his will in create a trust term  of twentyone year for the payment of debt and legacy and declare by his will  that he will have his debt and legacy pay within five year after his death and  in a subsequent clause he declare that the trustee of these estate upon the  term of twentyone year shall have a power to lease or mortgage they if the  heir refuse to pay their debt legacy and funeral expense till the debt c be  pay by his codicil he devise the same estate to trustee and their heir and  direct they during the life of his wife to receive the rend of his estate and  thereout to pay to the wife pound per annum and with the surplus profit to pay  his debt legacy and funeral expense with all the speed that can be the  testator widow do not die till the question upon exception to the master  report be whether a legatee for pound and a simple contract creditor likewise  for pound S who lend part of it to the testator and pay the rest by the  testator direction in discharge of a bill of funeral expense be entitle to  interest upon his legacy and debt and from what time whether from the five  year after testator death or from the time when the master report of the sum  due for the legacy and debt be confirm atkins it be insist by the counsel for  the trustee that this be a dry reversion and that there be no fund if the  estate have be sell to pay debt legacy and funeral expense till the death of  the widow in Lord chancellor this question arise on the will and codicil of Mr  anwell in favour of creditor the court will have construe the subsequent  clause to the creation of the trust term of year which begin with as touch and  concern the aforesaid land and premise devise in trust in case my heir shall  refuse to pay debt c as a charge upon the inheritance for payment of debt  legacy and funeral expense if it stand as it do upon the will only but then  come the codicil which make a very great alteration for here the testator have  charge those very estate with annuity to the wife and other person and  afterward follow the clause relate to surplus profit and when the debt be  satisfy out of those profit then the residue to be pay to such person as shall  be entitle to the inheritance this can as have be contend be confine to the  surplus rend and profit during the life of the wife only but must likewise run  on against the owner of the inheritance and the court already by a former  decree have determine these point atkins er p for it direct the annuity to be  pay first and the estate to be sell for payment of debt the present question  as to the legacy and debt carry interest and from what time will fall under  different consideration I do not know though it may sound odd in a court of  equity whether the question apply to the legacy do not come out to be the  clear case for as it be a general legacy if there have be no time limit for  the payment it will have be due within one year after the death of the  testator with interest to be compute from the expiration of the year Maxwell v  Wettenhall p W Beckford v tobin Ves Bilson v sander bunb and if the personal  estate be not sufficient the reversionary estate be charge with it indeed if a  legacy be give out of a real estate and express charge upon it there may have  be a considerable question whether it shall have be pay till the real estate  fall in the next question with regard to the legacy be from what time the  interest shall be compute atkins a legacy do in its nature carry interest and  I know of no distinction between a reversionary estate and any other and the  time of payment of interest in this case ought to begin at the expiration of  the five year accord to the direction of the will see heath v very post vol  and note the remain question will be with regard to the debt carry interest  and from what time it shall be compute a debt by simple contract do not carry  interest in its nature nor will this court direct it to be pay but then it be  insist that in all case where there be a trust create for payment of debt in  general that simple contract one shall carry interest now I must own that I do  not apprehend there be such a general rule for I can upon my memory say that  it be a frequent direction in this court for the master to take a account of  debt and of such particular as in their nature carry interest vide Barwell v  Parker Ves bath v Bradford Ves Shirley v earl Ferrer bro Charles Rep the case  of car v the countess of Burlington I William be a trust create in the  lifetime of Richard earl of Burlington empower trustee by lease of his land in  England and Ireland to pay all his debt which shall be owe at his death when a  trust be create for payment of all debt whatsoever and bind creditor shall  exhaust the personal estate the court will direct that simple contract  creditor shall stand in the place of the bind creditor and be allow equal to  what have be exhaust out of the personal from the real estate therefore I  apprehend the reporter have be deceive and this case be not right take for it  say if the personal estate be not sufficient to satisfy bind creditor they may  still come in to be pay the remainder of their debt in proportion with the  simple contract creditor in the case of Maxwell v Wettenhall William and it be  lie down general that if a legacy be charge upon land which yield rend and  profit and there be no time of payment mention in the will the legacy shall  carry interest from the testator death because the land yield profit from that  time and the case say further that if a legacy be charge upon a dry reversion  here it shall carry interest only from a year after the death of the testator  a year be a convenient time for a sale but this do not determine that a dry  reversion will be liable to simple contract debt and interest upon they atkins  suppose a simple contract debt shall be unliquidated have it ever be determine  that a debt of this nature when ascertain shall have relation back to the time  of the testator death and carry interest from thence then it come to this  question whether there be such estate as yield annual profit over and above  the payment of annuity which have be decree to be prior charge and to take  place of the debt and it appear to I by the master report that there be not a  farthing leave after the several charge be satisfy during the life of the  widow who do not die till it will be go too far to say that where a man create  a trust for payment of debt that all debt shall carry interest though the land  do not yield annual profit atkins er p on the other hand it will be extreme  hard that legatee who be mere volunteer shall have interest out of a reversion  itself and that a simple contract creditor shall have no interest at all Lord  chancellor Nottingham decree that where a man devise land for payment of debt  and legacy that they shall be pay acquire step Lord north reverse that decree  and Lord chancellor jefferies in gosling v Dorney make the same decree with  Lord Nottingham vern but this doctrine have be explode since for as my Lord  Nottingham say in another case it will be make a man sin in his grave and it  be now the constant determination that creditor shall be prefer before legatee  where there be not sufficient for both as the debt in the present case be not  liquidate and ascertain till the master report which be confirm by the court  in I shall allow interest upon it only from this time the statement of this  case do not appear full in the register book though the decree there agree  with this report of it Reg lib b fol the will of Mr anwell and the proceed in  equity thereupon seem more accurate state in barn Charles
