Opinion

Argued May 26th, 1947.

Decided September 25th, 1947.

The construction adopted by Chancery of the will in question was proper.

On appeal from the Court of Chancery.

Mr. Ward Kremer, for the respondents.

Messrs. Durand, Ivins Carton, for W. Harold Warren, substituted trustee.

Mr. John E. Toolan and Mr. Huyler E. Romond, for the appellants.


The appeal in this case questions the construction adopted in the Court of Chancery of a last will and testament.

After carefully considering the conclusions of the learned Vice-Chancellor and the arguments of counsel, we are of the opinion that the construction adopted therein is in all respects proper and that the decree under appeal should be affirmed, with costs.

For affirmance — THE CHIEF-JUSTICE, BODINE, DONGES, HEHER, COLIE, EASTWOOD, BURLING, WELLS, DILL, FREUND, McGEEHAN, McLEAN, JJ. 12.

For reversal — None.
