FEARNE, CHARLES (1742-1794) ,
English
  jurist, son of
Charles
  Fearne, judge-
advocate
 
    See Also:
of the admiralty, was born in London in 1742, 'and was educated at Westminster school. He adopted the legal profession, but, though well fitted by his talents to succeed as a
barrister
 , he neglected his profession and devoted most of his attention and his patrimony to the
prosecution
  of scientific experiments, with the vain
hope
  of achieving discoveries which would reward him for his pains and expense. He died in 1794, leaving his widow and family in necessitous circumstances. His
Essay
  on the Learning of Contingent Remainders and Executory Devises, the
work
  which has made his reputation as a legal authority, and which has passed through numerous
editions
 , was called forth by a decision of Lord Mans-field in the
case
  of Perrin v. Blake, and had the effect of reversing that decision.
A volume entitled Fearne's Posthumous Works was published by subscription in 1797 for the benefit of his widow.
