Reading edition
See Mason and Mason, 1 Meriv. 308, and articles of the Code Napoleon there cited. In this case it was referred to the master to enquire what children the testator (who with one of his sons had been lost at sea) had at the time of his death; the master reported that he was unable to state whether Francis, the son, survived his father or not. Sir W. Grant, M. R. directed an issue at the request of the plaintiff. See also Taylor v. Deplock, 2 Phill. 281.
