Eastern Trust Company[1], where, applying the rule to the peculiar circumstances of that case, we held that the vesting was postponed [...] Indeed, the rule itself relied on by the learned judge, as stated in Sir Edward Vaughan Williams’ treatise, contains the qualifying words: “unless, from particular circumstances, a contrary intention is to be collected.”
