““The doctrine runs through all the cases, lhat the devisor must be seised of the same estate at the time of his death that he was seised of when he made his will, to make it a good devise. [Ballard v. Carter, 5 Pick. l. c. 116.] If there is a subsequent conveyance of the whole estate, the testamentary disposition is defeated wholly. If the conveyance be of a part only, the operation in pro tanto. [Toll. Ex. 19.]””
