ANDREWS, Ch. J.

The time fixed by the will for the final vesting of the estate is the death of the testator's daughter Sarah Ann Kip. Whatever view, therefore, may be taken as to the nature of the remainders, whether they are regarded as vested or contingent, there can under the will be no suspense of the power of alienation of the estate beyond the period of a single life in being at the death of the testator. The remainders must vest in possession on the death of the daughter, and whether vested or contingent they do not, as limited, transgress the rule of perpetuity, and unless they fail for some other reason they must be sustained.

The judgment below affirmed the validity of the trust created by the ninth section of the will and of the remainders given to the eight grandchildren of the testator by the twelfth section and adjudged that the income from the trust estate, beyond what was required to pay the annuities given by the ninth section, belonged to and was distributable among the eight grandchildren, all of whom are still living. The General Term did not in terms decide whether the remainders given to the grandchildren were vested or contingent, and declined to pass upon the question argued by some of the counsel, whether upon the death of any grandchild during the continuance of the trust estate, leaving no issue, the share of the one so dying would descend to his or her heirs or next of kin, or would accrue by survivorship to the surviving grandchildren. The General Term was of the opinion that as this latter question might never become a practical one, and was not material to the disposition of the question before it, its determination should be postponed until an exigency arises which shall render its determination necessary. The decision of the General Term upon this point is justified upon the ground stated, as also by a consideration of the issues framed by the pleadings, and involves to so great an extent a matter of judicial discretion, that this court should not, we think, review its conclusion.

The primary question in the case respects the validity of the trust created by the ninth section of the will. It is claimed in behalf of the appellant that the trust is void on the ground that it was a trust for the receipt of rents, profits and income of real and personal estate to pay annuities, and that this is not a purpose for which an express trust, under the 3rd subdivision of section 55 of the Statute of Uses and Trusts, is authorized, and that consequently, under section 58 of the same statute, no estate in the land vested in the trustees, and that the whole estate subject to the payment of the annuities as a charge descended according to its nature to the heirs and next of kin of the testator. The remainders it is insisted were so limited as to be dependent upon the trusts, and that failing, the remainders fell also. The further claim is made that even if the trust is valid to any extent, it can be sustained only as to such portion of the estate as is required to provide an income to meet the annuities, and that the residue of the estate beyond that amount is liberated from the trust.

The validity of the trust will be first considered, and in disposing of this question it will be convenient to regard it as a trust of realty only, since if it can be sustained as a trust of that species of property, a fortiori can it be sustained as a trust of personalty. By the ninth section of the will the testator devised and bequeathed to his executors and trustees all the residue of his real and personal estate in trust, to collect and receive the rents, profits and income and pay thereout, first the taxes, insurance and expenses, and then the annuities specified therein during the life of the daughter. The substantial purpose of the trust expressed in the ninth section, and the only one which it can be claimed supports the title in the trustees, was to pay the annuities mentioned, amounting in the aggregate to the sum of $20,000. The payment of the charges and the annuities would not exhaust the probable income of the estate. It is found that the net annual income of the testator's estate for three years prior to his death had been $80,000, and that it was probable that the annual income thereafter during the trust term would exceed that sum. There was no express direction for the accumulation of the large surplus income which would be likely to arise and be received by the trustees, nor any express disposition thereof as such made by the will. But in the absence of any express direction for accumulation or other disposition, it would be the duty of the trustees under the will to retain and accumulate it, and from this duty a direction for accumulation is implied. ( Gilman v. Reddington, 24 N.Y. 9.) If the will in this respect is carried out, the accumulated fund, together with the corpus of the estate, will go to the eight grandchildren or their issue at the termination of the trust under the twelfth section. But it is conceded that the implied direction for accumulation is void, because it was to commence at the testator's death and was, or might be, for the benefit of persons not then in being, and of adults as well as infants. (1 Rev. St. 726, § 37; Manice v. Manice, 43 N.Y. 376.) This implied direction for an unlawful accumulation is one of the grounds relied upon for invalidating the trust and will be hereafter considered.

The testator attempted to create a trust under the 3d subdivision of sec. 55 of the Statute of Uses and Trusts. The main objection to the trust, viz., that a trust for the receipt of the rents and profits of land for the payment of annuities, is not one of the purposes for which an express trust can be created under that subdivision, presents a question which has not, as we understand, been adjudicated by any court of final jurisdiction in this state. But in the case of Lang v. Ropke (5 Sandf. 363) Judge DUER expressed the opinion that a trust to pay annuities could not be created under the 3rd subdivision of section 55 of the statute, but only under the 2nd subdivision. The question in that case related to the validity of a trust of real and personal property created by will, which as was claimed unduly suspended the power of alienation. It was insisted that alienation was suspended, not only during the life or minority of the youngest child of the testator, but also during the lives of two annuitants whose annuities were charged on the income of the estate. The learned judge first answered the claim by showing that if the annuities suspended alienation, they being distinct and independent, the suspension would terminate as to each annuity and as to each share of the capital set apart to produce it, on the death of the annuitant, thus creating a suspension at most for two lives, viz., the life of the youngest child of the testator and of an annuitant in addition, a term within the statutory period. The learned judge having thus given a conclusive answer to the objection made, proceeded to make the further answer that annuities charged on land or the rents and profits of land, whatever direction may be given for their payment, are alienable by the beneficiary and do not suspend the power of alienation of the land by the trustee, for the reason that a trust for the payment of annuities can only be created under the 2nd subdivision of section 55, and that such a trust is not subject to the prohibitory clauses of sections 60 and 63. The learned judge rests his opinion that a trust to pay annuities could not be constituted under sub. 3 of § 55, but only under sub. 2 of that section, upon the case of Hawley v. James (16 Wend. 61), which, as he understood it, "settled the law" upon the question. The same conclusion was re-affirmed by the same judge in Griffen v. Ford (1 Bos. 123), following the supposed authority of Hawley v. James and his prior opinion in Lang v. Ropke, but in Griffen v. Ford, as in Lang v. Ropke, the decision of the point does not seem to have been necessary to uphold the judgment rendered. The opinion of this eminent jurist is entitled to the highest respect, especially on a question of this character. But we have been unable, upon a careful examination of the decision in Hawley v. James, to find that the question was there decided, and we are confirmed in the opinion that the judgment in that case furnishes no support to the doctrine that a trust to pay annuities cannot be lawfully constituted under the 3rd sub. of sec. 55, by the remarks of the chancellor in Clute v. Bool (8 Pai. 83), who interprets the opinions in Hawley v. James as leading to a conclusion directly contrary to the view taken by Judge DUER. The case of Hawley v. James is one of the landmarks in the exposition of the law of uses and trusts, as modified by the Revised Statutes. There were two main questions in that case: First, whether the trust term was lawfully constituted in respect of duration; and, second, whether the remainders could be saved, although it should be held that the trust was void. Both of these questions were determined adversely to the limitations in the will, and the trust term and remainders were held to be void for remoteness. By the will certain annuities were given by independent clauses, absolute in form, and preceding the clauses constituting the trust. The trustees were directed to pay the legacies and annuities out of the profits and income of the estate. One of the questions argued at the bar was whether the trust was created for a purpose which, if the trust was otherwise valid, would vest the legal title to the estate in the trustees during the trust term, and the purpose principally relied upon to sustain the title of the trustees was the trust for the payment of annuities. This question only became important in case it should be held that in point of duration the trust was legal. If the trust term was void, as transgressing the statute, valid trust purposes would not suffice to uphold the trust. The question whether a trust to pay annuities could be lawfully constituted under the 3rd sub. of sec. 55 so as to support a legal title to the estate in the trustees, was considered in some of the opinions. Judge NELSON was of opinion that such a trust could be created under the 3rd sub., and also that an annuity under a trust was not a gross sum within the last clause of sec. 63, and was, therefore, inalienable by the beneficiary. Judge BRONSON condemned the purpose of the trust on the ground that it was a trust to "pay over" and not to "apply" the rents and profits of lands, raising a question which was not finally settled until the decision in Leggett v. Perkins ( 2 N.Y. 297). Judge BRONSON agreed with Judge NELSON that an annuity was not a gross sum within the 63rd section. Judge COWEN was in favor of sustaining the will in its general aspects, but condemned some of the remoter limitations. The decree in the case is given in full in the report. It adjudged the trust term and the remainders to be void, because they violated the rule of perpetuity.

The decree (as we read it) does not determine whether the trust was created for lawful purposes, or for purposes which would vest the title to the estate in the trustees if the trust was otherwise valid. It preserves the annuities and provides for their payment, but imposed upon such of the annuitants as were heirs of the testator the duty to elect whether they would take under the will, or as in case of intestacy. There is no express declaration of the ground upon which the annuities were sustained. We think the inference from the opinions, in connection with the decree, is that they were regarded as separate and independent gifts distinct from the trust, and could be sustained as a charge although dissevered from the trust, and that the direction to the trustee to pay the annuities out of the income of the estate was inserted merely as a convenient mode of satisfying the charge. We think it cannot be gathered that the court decided, or intended to decide, that a testator could not, under the 3rd sub. of sec. 55, constitute a trust to pay annuities, and make them, not a charge merely on rents and profits, but an inalienable interest under sec. 63. In McSorley v. Wilson (4 Sandf. Ch. 515) the testator, by the will under consideration in that case, created a trust of real and personal estate, among other purposes to pay out of the rents and profits an annuity to his mother for life. The trust was held to be void on the ground that the power of alienation of the estate was suspended during three lives, the life of the annuitant being reckoned as one. The vice-chancellor, referring to the annuity, said: "This is an inalienable trust interest and requires the estate to continue in the trustees while she lives." This seems to be a precise adjudication upon the question now presented.

There are no authorities on the subject binding upon this court, and it becomes necessary in this case to determine upon the statute, interpreted in view of its language and the policy which shall seem most consistent with the legislative intent, the question whether a trust to pay annuities may be created under the 3rd subdivision of sec. 55. The legislature did not, by the revision, create uses and trusts, but regulated them only. It was deemed wise to define and limit the purposes for which express trusts in land might be created, which should vest the legal title in the trustees during the continuance of the trust. They are included in the enumeration in sec. 55. But trusts under the name of trust powers were left undefined. Powers in respect of lands are trusts, but a valid, express trust, under the statute, to receive the rents and profits of the trust estate, is a power coupled with the title.

The question early arose as to the principle of construction to be applied to the statute, whether it should be strict and technical, confining the authorized trusts to the narrowest limits, or liberal so as to embrace as far as possible all the cases where the exigencies of families and family arrangements might reasonably require the separation for the time being of the legal and equitable estates. The apprehension was frequently expressed by eminent judges that difficulty might arise from the attempt to limit so closely as was done in the revision, the purposes for which express trusts might be created (see COMSTOCK, Ch. J., Downing v. Marshall, 23 N.Y. 380), but this view was vigorously opposed by DUER, J., in Lang v. Ropke. One of the great questions which vexed the courts from a period soon after the revision, arose on the construction of the 3rd sub. of sec. 55, that is to say, whether a trust to receive the rents and profits of land, and "pay" them over to a beneficiary, was an application of the rents and profits under that subdivision. After a long contest the question was finally settled adversely to the advocates of a strict construction. The reports show an increasing tendency in the direction of liberality in construing the statute, and while there has been no abatement by the courts of the strictness with which limitations are construed, which transgress the rule of perpetuity, arrangements within that limit, and dispositions by way of trust are sustained if they can fairly be brought within the spirit of the statute, although not within its literal language. In considering whether a trust to pay annuities out of rents and profits of real estate is a valid trust within the 3rd sub. of sec. 55, and if so whether the interest of the annuitant is inalienable under the operation of sec. 63, it is important to bear in mind that it does not tend to solve the question to show that annuities which are a charge simply on real estate or on the rents and profits of real estate are alienable at common law, as they undoubtedly are. The same is true of the rents and profits of land. But the precise object of the 63rd section was to take away for the time being the alienable quality of interests connected with and based upon a trust constituted under the 3rd sub. of sec. 55, which otherwise would be alienable. The trusts authorized by the 2nd sub. of that section are in the main trusts involving the alienation of the corpus of the estate. If the authority to lease lands under that subdivision would authorize a trust to receive the rents and profits by way of lease for the purposes mentioned therein, and a trust to pay an annuity could only be constituted under that subdivision, it would confine the power of a testator who desired to preserve the corpus of the estate, and at the same time provide by a trust, for annuities to be paid out of income, within narrow limits. The primary purpose of subdivision 3 of sec. 55, as stated by the revisers, was to enable the owner of lands to make provision for the maintenance of infants, married women or improvident persons out of the rents and profits of his estate, and of sec. 63, to make the interest of the beneficiary inalienable. (Revisers' notes to sections 55 and 63.) But for obvious reasons the objects of a trust under the 3rd subdivision were not specified, and it permits a trust for the receipt of rents and profits for the benefit of any person whomsoever. We are unable to perceive any reason why a trust for the receipt of the rents and profits of land for the benefit of an annuitant is not within the purpose of sub. 3, as much as a trust to pay the whole or an aliquot part of such rents and profits to beneficiaries. Provision by way of annuity is usually intended for maintenance. The testator, by providing for payments at periodical times of fixed sums by way of annuities, secures to the annuitant a certain and constant means of support to the extent of the annuity given. In this way he can measure his bounty according to what he shall deem to be the necessities or desert of the annuitants, and if a trust under sub. 3 can be created for the payment of annuities, and the interest of the annuitant is subject to the operation of sec. 63, the latter is, in a measure at least, secured against penury resulting from improvidence or misfortune. The payment of an annuity out of the rents and profits of land is as much an application of rents and profits as is the payment over of a share of the rents and profits, the amount of which is not ascertainable until realized. There is another suggestion which we think is entitled to weight in determining this question. Trusts of personal property, as is well known, are not fettered by the limitations prescribed for trusts of real estate. They may be created for any purpose not unlawful, subject only to the law of perpetuity. ( Gott v. Cook, 7 Pai. 521.) The title to personal property, given in trust, vests in the trustee, for the purposes of the trust, and continues in him until those purposes are accomplished. The increase of personal property in this age of commercial and business activity has been so rapid that it now represents a large aggregate of the wealth of the world. It cannot be questioned that a trust of personalty may be created to any amount, limited only by the possessions of the testator, for the payment of annuities out of income. Meanwhile the title remains in the trustee, and so long as the interest of the beneficiaries continues, any disposition of the corpus not authorized by the instrument creating it would be in contravention of the trust. The case of De Peyster v. Clendining (8 Pai. 295) is an instance of a trust of personalty to pay annuities to a large amount out of income, and the chancellor was of opinion that the interest of the annuitant was inalienable under sec. 63. There is a manifest propriety is assimilating as far as practicable the rules governing trusts and limitations of real and personal property, and the tendency in this direction has been very marked in the decisions of the courts. ( Graff v. Bonnett, 31 N.Y. 9; Cutting v. Cutting, 86 id. 523; Williams v. Thorn, 70 id. 270; Hutton v. Benkard, 92 id. 295; Cook v. Lowry, 95 id. 103.) It would be unfortunate, we think, if it was necessary to distinguish between trusts of real and personal property for the payment of annuities out of income, holding such trusts valid as to one species of property and void as to the other. Upon the best consideration we are able to give to the subject we are brought to the conclusion that the opinion of NELSON, J., that a valid trust to pay annuities out of the rents and profits of land, may be created under sub. 3 of sec. 55, is a sound exposition of the law. We concur also with the opinions of Judge NELSON and Judge BRONSON, expressed in Hawley v. James, that an annuity is not a gross sum within the exception in sec. 63. That term is applicable where a single sum is given, payable at one time or in installments, but not to periodical sums given as annuities are usually given, for permanent maintenance. Such provisions are within the policy of the prohibition against assignments contained in that section. But if an annuity may be considered as a gross sum, we do not perceive that it would change the result in this case, provided a trust for the payment of annuities may be created under the 3rd sub. of sec. 55. The case of Radley v. Kuhn ( 97 N.Y. 27) is an example of a provision in a will for the payment of a gross sum within the statute.

It is insisted, however, that assuming a trust for the payment of annuities may be created under sub. 3 the trust is void, because the trust was in fact a cover for a scheme of unlawful accumulation. If the estate continues to yield an income equal to what it was yielding at the death of the testator, it will be sufficient to pay, not only the annuities charged, but there will be a very large sum in addition, which surplus is impliedly directed to be accumulated during the life of the testator's daughter, and which direction is concededly void. The court is asked to infer that the primary purpose of the testator was to constitute an unlawful trust for accumulation. It may be conceded that to support a trust under the 3rd subdivision there must be a purpose within that section, not illusory and nominal merely, but real and substantial. The objection assumes that the testator contemplated that no contingencies could arise where, by losses, or shrinkage in values, or bad investments, or change in the rate of interest, the whole or substantially all the income of the estate would be required to pay the annuities. He did plainly intend that the whole income should be pledged for the payment of the annuities. Is it possible for the court to say that the trust for the payment of annuities amounting to $20,000 was evasive and veiled the real purpose of the testator? The statute contemplates that there may be an unlawful direction for accumulation contained in a will or other instrument, but it applies the remedy. It makes the direction void. (1 Rev. St. 726, § 38.) It does not avoid the instrument containing the unlawful direction, although this would be the consequence if it subserved no purpose except to provide for the unlawful accumulation. But limitations of the estate, not depending upon the unlawful accumulations, are unaffected. The cases are numerous which hold that a trust otherwise lawfully constituted is not invalidated because of an unlawful direction for accumulation. (See Williams v. Williams, 8 N.Y. 538; Phelps v. Pond, 23 id. 82.) The surplus income to which the unlawful direction relates, will pass under the rules of the common law, or under section 40 of the statute. (1 Rev. St. 726, § 40.) In this way the purpose of the statute limiting accumulations is effected, and a testator has no motive to transgress its provisions. It is worthy of notice that in the will under consideration in Hawley v. James, there was an implied direction for accumulation extending in legal effect during thirteen lives, and that but a small part of the probable income would be required for the intermediate purposes of the will, but neither of the judges who took part in that case referred to this as a ground for invalidating the trust. We think the only rule consistent with the authorities is, that where a trust constituted under sub. 3 of sec. 55, is duly limited in point of duration, but connected with the lawful purpose is an express or implied direction for an unlawful accumulation, the title to the whole estate vests in the trustee during the trust term, although the valid trust purpose will not absorb the whole income, except perhaps where the valid purpose is nominal merely, and it can be seen that it was inserted as a mere cover for an attempted illegal accumulation. ( Phelps v. Pond, 23 N.Y. 69; Gilman v. Reddington, 24 id. 19; Savage v. Burnham, 17 id. 561.) The claim that the court should direct the setting apart of sufficient of the capital of the estate to produce the annuities, leaving the remainder of the estate to go to heirs or next of kin until the death of the testator's daughter, cannot be supported. There was a similar suggestion made when the case of Hawley v. James was before the chancellor (5 Pai. 318), and he declared that the Court of Chancery had no power to divest the legal title of the trustees to any portion of the estate. (See 1 Rev. St. 729, § 60.) We conclude, therefore, that the trust in the will now under consideration was valid, except as to the implied direction for accumulation.

The remaining question relates to the persons who are now entitled to the rents, profits and income, not required to pay the annuities. It is claimed on the one side that they go to the heirs and next of kin of the testator, according to the nature of the property, and on the other, that, by force of section 40 of the article on the creation and division of estates (1 Rev. St. 726), they belong to and are distributable among the eight grandchildren as the persons presumptively entitled to the next eventual estate. By the rule of the common law, where there is a specific devise of a future estate, and no disposition of the intermediate rents and profits, they go to the heir, unless there is a residuary devise, not future or contingent, in which case they go to the residuary devisee. But a residuary bequest of personality, whether future or contingent, carries the prior income, and where real and personal estate are blended in one residuary gift the rule as to personalty governs. The same rules are applicable to trusts. ( Glanvill v. Glanvill, 2 Mer. 38; Genery v. Fitzgerald, Jac. 468; Ackers v. Phipps, 3 Cl. Fin. 665; In re Dumble, L.R. [23 Ch. Div.] 360; 1 Jar. [5th ed.] 652.) But it was held that where the devise or gift was of a residue, as to part of which the disposition fails, that part will not accrue in augmentation of the remaining part, as a residue of a residue, but instead of retaining the nature of residue, devolves as undisposed of. ( Skyrmsher v. Northcote, 1 Sw. 566.) This last rule is applied by the English courts in the construction of the Thellusson Act (39th and 40th George III, ch. 98) to the disposition of income unlawfully directed to be accumulated, and it is held that such income goes to the heirs and next of kin, as in case of intestacy, and not to the residuary legatee or devisee, under that clause in the act which declares that such surplus income "shall go to such person or persons as would have been entitled thereto if such accumulation had not been directed." (1 Jar. [5th ed.] 312, 602.) If the rule of distribution was the same under our statute as under the English statute there might be some ground for claiming, in this case, that as the gift of the residue included by intendment the unlawful accumulation, the heirs and next of kin were entitled to it. Section 40 of our statute, before referred to, prescribes the rule of distribution in cases within it, and if it applies to the surplus income in question it must furnish the rule of distribution. That section is: "When, in consequence of a valid limitation of an expectant estate, there shall be a valid suspense of the power of alienation, or of the ownership, during the continuance of which the rents and profits shall be undisposed of, and no valid direction for their accumulation is given, such rents and profits shall belong to the persons presumptively entitled to the next eventual estate." It must be conceded, we think, that the surplus rents and profits were undisposed of within the meaning of this section. The implied disposition attempted was unlawful and void, and it is the same as if no disposition whatever had been attempted. ( Williams v. Williams, 8 N.Y. 525.) It is claimed in behalf of the appellant that the remainders given to the grandchildren were vested and not contingent. This was conceded by all the parties heard before us, except that the counsel for the executors suggested that the decision of the question was not now necessary. We shall assume, without deciding the question, that the appellant is right in this contention. It is claimed that if the grandchildren took vested remainders, then the statute does not apply, for the reason that the limitation of a vested expectant estate does not suspend the power of alienation, and that it is only where the power of alienation is suspended by a contingent limitation of a future estate, that sec. 40 applies. In other words, that the present estate in the trustees, although the power of alienation is suspended thereby, by force of sections 63 and 65 of the Statute of Uses and Trusts, does not create the suspension which brings the case within sec. 40, because that only applies where the suspension is "in consequence of a valid limitation of an expectant estate." This construction of the statute seems to be the natural construction according to the ordinary meaning of the language. It seems to have been assumed by the revisers and the legislature that if the future estate was vested and absolute, the surplus income would, without any statutory rule, go to the persons in whom the estate was ultimately to vest in possession. (See Gott v. Cook, 7 Pai. 521.) But however this may be, we think the appellant, to succeed in her contention, must at least be able to point out that no contingency attended any of the limitations of the future estates, which prevented the conveyance by persons in being of an absolute remainder in fee. This, we think, cannot be done. Upon the death of any grandchild during the trust term leaving issue, such issue, whether born before or after the death of the testator, would take by way of substitution and as purchasers, the share of the deceased parent. Assuming as we have that the grandchildren took vested remainders, it is the common case of a limitation to one person in remainder, with a gift over to another person on the death of the first remainderman or the happening of any other event before the remainder vests in possession. The first remainderman takes a base or qualified fee, subject to be divested in favor of some other object on the happening of the contingency specified. Such a contingent limitation over necessarily suspends the power of alienation, provided it is or may be in favor of persons not in being at the death of the testator, and the suspense continues so long as there is a possibility that persons may come into being who would be entitled to take under the ulterior limitation. This was the situation in this case. Until the death of a grandchild during the term it could not be ascertained in whom the remainder in the share of the one so dying would vest. Issue not yet in being may be born who will be entitled to take under the will. That the word issue in the will means children is plain from the context, and that it is word of purchase, and not of limitation, is plain also. ( Nodine v. Greenfield, 7 Pai. 544; Crystie v. Phyfe, 19 N.Y. 345; Smith v. Scholtz, 68 id. 42; Mead v. Mitchell, 17 id. 210; Wilson v. White, 109 id. 59; 2 Jar. [5th ed.] 104.) The case is clearly within section 40. The power of alienation is suspended by a valid limitation of a contingent expectant estate to the issue of the grandchildren, and meanwhile the rents and profits are undisposed of. The remainders to the grandchildren, whether vested or contingent, may ripen into a fee simple absolute. They are the persons entitled to the next eventual estate within the meaning of sec. 40, however it might be considered if they took a life estate only, and their estate, if they survive the daughter of the testator, will vest in possession concurrently with the termination of the trust estate and the period of accumulation. Holding as we do that the trust is valid, the contention on behalf of the appellant, based on the invalidity of the trust, that the future estates are so limited that they cannot be supported because dependent upon the trust, becomes immaterial, nor is it necessary to determine who would be entitled to the intermediate rents and profits of the estate, if it was held that the precedent estate failed and that the future estates were nevertheless valid.

We think the judgment below correctly disposed of the questions in the case, and it should, therefore, be affirmed, with costs of all parties to be paid out of the estate.

All concur, except BARTLETT, J., not sitting.

Judgment affirmed.
