Mr .
Justice Powell ,
in Scattergood v .
Edge ,
12 Mod .
278 ,
distinguished perpetuities into two sorts ,
absolute and qualified ;
meaning thereby ,
as it is apprehended ,
a distinction between a plain ,
direct and palpable perpetuity ,
and the case where an estate is limited on a contingency ,
which might happen within a reasonable compass of time ,
but where the estate nevertheless ,
from the nature of the limitation ,
might be kept out of commerce longer than was thought agreeable to the policy of the common law .
But this distinction would not now lead to a better understanding or explanation of the subject ;
for whether an estate be so limited that it cannot take effect ,
until a period too much protracted ,
or whether on a contingency which may happen within a moderate compass of time ,
it equally falls within the line of perpetuity and the limitation is therefore void ;
for it is not sufficient that an estate may vest within the time allowed ,
but the rule requires that it must .
