TRUST.

1. Under a private act of the legislature of the State of New York, passed to remove
obstacles in the way of executing certain trusts under a will, it was held. 1. That
the act of the legislature devested the fee out of the trustees who had previously
held it, but did not vest it in the person empowered to act in their place. 2. That
the new trustee to sell had only a special power, to be exercised with the consent
of the chancellor. 3. That if he exceeded this power, though with the consent of
the chancellor, his act was void, the chancellor not having jurisdiction to make an
order allowing an excess of power, not contemplated by the act. 4. That a sale of
any thing but money was an excess of power. 5. That as the order of the chan-
cellor required a certificate of approval of the deed by the master, and as the chan-
cellor had not dispensed with this requirement, the deed was invalid without such
certificate. 6. That the power to sell or mortgage, was not exhausted by once
mortgaging the land. 7. That the grantee of the purchaser from the trustee did
not obtain a valid title. Williamson v. Berry, 8 H. 495....669.

2. With regard to the points determined in this case, and one other point connected
therewith, see the cases of Williamson v. Irish Presbyterian Congregation, 8 H.
566....705. Williamson v. Ball, 8 H. 566....706.

The act of March 3, 1797, (1 Stats. at Large, 514, 515, §§ 3, 4,) allowing offsets in

VENDOR AND PURCHASER.

A purchaser, in possession of land, cannot be relieved by a court of equity from pay-

VERDICT.

1. A special verdict which does not find the facts, but only the evidence of them, is
imperfect, no judgment can be rendered thereon, and a venire de novo must be
awarded. Prentice v. Zane's Administrator, 8 H. 470....661.

2. A verdict, on which there was no judgment, is not an estoppel. Reed v. Proprie-
tors of Locks and Canals, 8 H. 274....585.
