      Matter of Farmers' Loan & Trust Co., 171 App. Div. —, affirmed.
    (Submitted February 28, 1916;
    decided March 14, 1916.)

The appeal brings up for review the ruling that the vesting of the interest of appellants’ intestate was deferred until the termination of the life estate created in said will, thereby entitling the survivor, John Brady, to the entire estate, to the exclusion of appellants, who claim under his deceased brother, Peter J. Brady, also named as a legatee.
    
      Edo E. Mercelis for appellants.
    
      George J. Gillespie for respondents.
