It may be founded upon either of two grounds: It may arise from an elliptical form of expre.ssion which involves and implies something else as contemplated by the person using the expression; or upon the form of the gift, or upon a direction to do something which cannot be carried into effect without of necessity Involving something else... which is a consequence necessarily resulting from that direction; Ix)rd Westbury, in 11 H.
