It is not considerec* as an independent conveyance, but merely fiicillary to the former deed; and the party in whose favor it is made, called the appointee, is considered, for most purposes, as deriving his title under the ori^^nal conveyance, and to be in the same position as if that* instrument had actually contained a limitation in his favor, to the Extent of the estate appointed.
