LEGACY, DEMONSTRATIVE. A demonstrative legacy is a bequest of a certain sum
of money; intended for the legatee at all events, with a fund particularly
referred to for its payment; so that if the estate be not the testator's
property at his death, the legacy will not fail: but be payable out of
general assets. 1 Rop. Leg. 153; Lownd. Leg 85; Swinb. 485; Ward on Leg.
