The Board was asked ‘whether, when the word ‘money’ appears in an English will as the description of that of which the testator is disposing, the word, in the absence of any context or other circumstances proper to be considered as varying its meaning, must be interpreted according to an alleged fixed ‘rule of construction’ which has been regarded by our courts as established and binding for many generations past’
