Implication, in law, is a neceflary inference of fome- 
tliing not direftly declared; between parties in deeds, 
agreements, &c. anting from what is admitted or ex- 
p re fled. 
When tli? law giveth any thing to a man, it giveth, 
implicitly (or rather impliedly') whatfoever is neceflary for 
the enjoying the fame. It is a general rule, that, where 
an eftate is to be railed by implication, it mujlbea necejfary 
and inevitable implication , and fuch as that the words can 
have no other conftruftion whatfoever. Talb. 3. An im* 
plication cannot be intended by deed, unlefs there are apt 
words; but ot’nerwife in a will. Brownl. 153. ' An im¬ 
plied intent mult not, without clear expreflion, alter the 
equitable general law. 1 Chan. Caf 297. An eftate by 
implication was never thought of in a deed, nor in a will 
but in a cafe of neceflity. 4 Mod. 156. No implication 
fhail be allowed againlt an exprefs eftate limited by exprefs 
words. 1 Salk. 226. An exprefs eftate for life cannot be 
enlarged by implication, but by exprefs words it may. 
2 Vern. 449. 
The want of words in fome cafes may be helped by im¬ 
plication ; and fo one word or thing, or one eftate given, 
fhail be implied by another. There is an implication in 
wills and devifes of lands, whereby eftates are gained; as 
if a lmtband devifes the goods in his houfe to his wife, 
and that after her deceale his Ion fhail have them, and his 
houfe ; though the houfe be not devifed to the wife by 
exprefs words, yet it has been held, that the hath an eftate 
for life in it by implication, becaufe no other perfon could 
then have it, the fon and heir being excluded, who was 
to have nothing till after her deceale. 1 Ventr. 223. 
Eftates for life, and eftates tail, may be railed by im¬ 
plication in wills; a teftator had three ions, the eldeft fon 
dying, leaving his wife with child, to whom the father 
deviled an annuity, in ventre fa mere, and, if his middle fon 
died before he had any iflue of his body, remainder over, 
&c. And it was refolved, that fuch fon had an eftate- 
tail by implication. Moor 127. It is faid a fee-fimple eftate 
ftiail not arife by implication in a will; though there is a 
perpetual charge impoled by the devifor on the devifee, 
See. Bridgm. 103. Alfo it hath been adjudged, that, where 
a particular eftate is devifed by will exprefsly, a contrary 
intent fliall not be implied by any fubfequent claufe. See 
title Will. 
Implication is either necejfary or pojfible ; and, wherever an 
eftate is railed by that means in a will, it mult be by a 
necejfary implication ; for the devifee mull neceflarily have 
the thing devifed, and no other perfon can have it. 1 Salk.
