[1] Page 21 s. 7 [It shall be lawful for his Majesty]
It After the words, his Majesty, it is common, where, as here, powers are given as here to
the Crown, to add after the words his Majesty, his
Heirs and Successors: and the addition, if unnecessary
(which it appears to be) is worse than useless.
It can not only be necessary, consistently
with the maxim The King never dies: accordingly
where a provision relative to the Crown is meant to be confined to the King
on the throne, the words of restriction for that purpose
such as for the time of his Majesty's natural
life, never fail (it is believed) to be inserted. What
renders the addition if unnecessary worse than useless
is - not merely by the surplusage, but the danger
of ambiguity: for if the addition being inserted
on one occasion, is omitted on any others,
there arises a ground for arguing, that where
Heirs and Successors are not mentioned they are
not intended.
