Mass bequest

A bequest for a Mass occurs when a person leaves a bequest in their will for a Mass to be said for the repose of their soul.[1]

In England after the Reformation such bequests were deemed to be invalid in law as "superstitious" until 1919, when the House of Lords held them to be valid.[2]

In Ireland a judgment of the Court of Chancery in 1823 found that in that country such bequests had always been legally valid.[3]

gollark: Also, it'll be hard to connect to people's base storage networks.
gollark: Well, it *could*, if the consortium in charge don't want new players getting in.
gollark: It'll also lock out new shop owners.
