(the other) = brother of the proprietor Thomas = beneficiary of 1 of the 7 houses of Thomas
Wife of the Thomas, the proprietor of the 7 houses = beneficiary of some money in the will
executors of the Thomas estate = (also other) Thomas
The proprietor Thomas passed away
The wife Thomas agreed with the executors to remain in 1 of the 7 Thomas houses in exchange for paying £1 / year & maintaining the property
The wife Thomas remained in the home for several years
After 1 executor died, the other executor sought to evict the wife

The wife Thomas brought a lawsuit against the surviving executor Thomas to remain in her house.

The executor Thomas argued that the contract lacked consideration because the parties were simply trying to respect the wish of the decedent Thomas.
