Syllabus

<p>1. Wills. Contingent cross remainders. Ulterior limitation.</p> <p>Where a will devised land to the testator’s two grandsons, and provided that if either of them should die without issue it should go to the survivor, and if both should die without issue surviving, it should revert to the testator’s son and daughter, the grandsons were tenants in common with cross remainders over, contingent upon the death of either without issue, with an ulterior limitation, if both should die without issue; and the joint conveyance of the grandsons vested in their vendee the fee, subject to be divested in favor of the ulterior limitees if both grandsons should die without issue.</p> <p>2. Same.</p> <p>In such case, the vendee of the grandsons, upon the death of one of them leaving issue him surviving, became the owner of the lands in fee simple.</p>
