chancery practice .
The act of a person authorized by a will or other instrument to direct how trust property shall be disposed of ,
directing such disposition agreeably to the general directions of the trust .
2 .
The appointment must be made in such a manner as to come within the spirit of the power .
And although at law the rule only requires that some allotment ,
however small ,
shall be given to each person ,
when the power is to appoint to and among several persons ;
the rule in equity differs ,
and requires a real and substantial portion to each ,
and a mere nominal allotment to one is deemed illusory and fraudulent .
When the distribution is left to discretion ,
without any prescribed rule ,
Is to such of the children as the trustee shall think proper ,
he may appoint to one only ;

but if the words be , '
amongst '
the children as he should think proper ,
each must have a share ,
