and so forth

and so forth
Other things and units of a like kind. 57 Am J1st Wills § 1335. A term obviously having reference to other things, other events, or other persons, but of so little significance in itself that construction must depend upon the context of the instrument, the enumeration and description of matters and things preceding it, and the subject matter to which it is applied. Muir v Kay, 66 Utah 550, 244 P 901.
