Implication

Intendment or Inference, as distinguished from the actual expression of a thing in words. In a wlll, an estate may pass by mere implication, without any express words to direct Its course. 2 Bl. Comm. 381. An inference of something not directly declared, but arising from what is admitted or expressed. In construing a will conj'ecture must not be taken for implication; but necessary implication means, not natural necessity, but so strong a probability of intention that an intention contrary to that which is imputed to the testator cannot be supposed. 1 Ves. & B. 466. "Implication" is also used in the sense of "inference;" i. e., where the existence of an intention is inferred from acts not done for the sole purpose of communicating it, but for some other purpose.
