v. 361

Wood the younger, or the survivor of them, was required to the duc
execution of that power, and to this consent two circumstances were
necessary ; first, that it should be testified by some writing under their
hands and seals ; and secondly, that the facts of their putting their hands
and seals to sucb writing should be attested by two or more credible
witnesses : so that the point in question appears to us to be simply
whether the altestation written on the indentures of March, 1778,
asserls both these facts, that is, whether the word sealed necessarily
implies that the parties who put their“ seals" put also “ their hands
to it, or “ signed it in the presence of the witnesses : which we are
of opinion it does not do according to the due interpretation and ordi-
pary sense of the word “sealed.” If it were to be determined as a
matter of fact whether the signature of the words was made in the
presence of the same witnesses who attested their having sealed the
indenture of March, 1788, a jury under all the circumstances to
which their attention might be directed, might not perhaps impro-
perly presume the affirmation of such question: but as a question of
jaw, we think it must be determined by the true construction of the
terms of the attestation ; to which it appears to us that our consider.
ation must be confined ; and we do not think that the signature of
Thomas Wood and his son is comprehended in the words inade use
of in the attestation; and we are further of opinion thal the atlesla-
lion requined to constilule a due and effectual e reculion of the power
nught 10 muke a part of the same transaction with the signing and seal.
ing the writing, testifying the assent and approbation of Thomas Wood
and his sun, such being the usual and common way of allesting the exe.
culion of all instruments requiring allestation, which we think the
parties creating the power had in their conlemplation and intended, and
not an attestation to be written al a dislance of time, and it had been
proposed to cure the defect by a re-execution and new alleslation afler
all ihe parties had testified their ussenl and approbation." There was an
appeal from this decision to the House of Lords, but the matter fiually
went off upon a compromise ul audivi.-EDITOR.

imply that the parties signed the deed in the
presence of the witnesses; and therefore an at-

word signed as well as sealed, is bad i. 144 n. 41.
