Parly Reform Sinecures
Law
2. As In regard to reversionary interests the same course might
serve.
If it be true correct, as has been said that a life reversion
viz. the next life in a sinecure is not upon an average worth more
than a sixth part of the same Sinecure in possession
the more economical course would be probably be to
buy it up for the public by a sum paid once for all.
But useless delinquency should except in so far as
delinquency might be found involved in the circumstances
in which the sinecure was obtained this such
would if obligatory in the reversion would be inconsistent
with a rule which has been established, and
the propriety of which seems to be alike undisputed
and indisputable.
For this sort of purchase there would therefore
remain no other case than that in which on the
part of the reversioner it would be found voluntary
a case that does not seem very likely to be exemplified.
