Entail – Succession – Heirs Male. – Circumstances in which the words ‘ heir male’ in an entail, received a strict technical interpretation, though they had been used with the same meaning, so far as appeared from the deed, as that of ‘ heirs male of the bodies’ of the substitutes, which had been used in other parts of the deed.
