Quando plus fit quam fieri debet

Quando plus fit quam fieri debet, videtur etiam illud fieri quod faciendumest. When more is done than ought to be done, that shall be consideredas performed, which should have been performed; as, if a man having apower to make a lease for ten years, make one for twenty years, it shallbe void for the surplus. Broom's Max. 76; 8 Co. 85.
