Equitable Law
A RICH man made his will, leaving all he had to a company of
fellow-citizens to dispose of, but reserving to his right heir such a
portion as pleased them. The heir having sued the company for his share
of the property, the judge inquired whether they wished to carry out the
will of the testator, and if so, what provision they proposed making for
the heir? He shall have a tenth part, said they, and we will retain
for ourselves the other nine.--Take, then, said the judge, the tenth
part to yourselves, and leave the rest to the heir; for by the will he
is to have what part 'pleaseth you.'
