Dolman v Smith: 1716

A. directed his debts and legacies to be paid out of the rents of his real estate. and that his executor should receive the rents until his nephew comes to the age of 25 years, and to pay the surplus of the rents to his nephew at 25, and devises the residue of his personal estate to his nephew. The nephew dies an infant ; the surplus of the personal estate not being given to a stranger, but to the same person to whom the lands were given, cannot be taken to be exempt from the debts.
