A. by marriage-settlement is tenant for life, remainder to trustees, to raise 4000 for younger children's portions, as A. should appoint; remainder to his first, &c., sons ia tail. A. appoints the 4000 amongst his younger children, and particularly 2600 thereof to B. his second son. The eldest son dies six years afterwards, whereby B. became eldest son, and .intitled to the whole estate after his father's death ; and thereupon A. makes a new appointment of the 2600 to one of his daughters. Decreed the last appointment to take place ; the first being made to B. upon a tacit or implied condition, that he should not become the eldest son.
