[199] young v. lord watekpark. Nov. 18, 1842. [S. C. 11 L. J. Ch. 367 ; 6 Jur. 656. See Sulteel v. Plummer, 1869, L. R. 8 Eq. 593; L. R. 6 Ch. 164. Distinguished, Balfour v. Cooper, 1883, 23 Ch. D. 472.J Foreign Contract. Sterling or Currency. Interest. Deed. Construction. Appointment. Power. Statute of Limitations, 3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 27, s. 42.
