Federal Trust Company, executor, &c., of Henry Ost, deceased, complainant-respondent, v. Marie A. Ost, Frederick Ost, Mildred M. Ost and Ella Ost, defendants-respondents, and Elizabeth Ahrens et al., defendants-appellants.
    [Submitted March 1st, 1937.
    Decided April 30th, 1937.]
    
      Messrs. Pitney, Hardin & Skinner, for the appellants.
    
      Messrs. Lindaiury, Steelman, Zink ■& Lafferty, for the complainant-respondent.
    
      
      Messrs. E. A. & W. A. Schilling, for the respondent Marie A. Ost.
    
      Mr. Samuel Yawitz, for the respondent Frederick Ost.
   Per Curiam.

The subject-matter of the appeal is succinctly stated as follows in the brief for appellants (there was no oral argument) : “Vice-Chancellor Stein concluded that there was an intestacy as to the unitemized fifteen per cent., and a further intestacy as to the ten per cent, given to Louis Ost, Sr.” (who predeceased the testator). “Appellants contend (1) that there is no intestacy as to the unitemized fifteen per cent., and (2) that there is no intestacy as to the ten per cent, given to Louis Ost, Sr.” '

A careful reading and consideration of the ease and briefs, and of the opinions in the court of chancery, lead us to conclude that there was no error in the decree under review as regards the subject-matter of the appeal. The decree trill accordingly be affirmed.

For affirmance — The Chiee-Justice, Trenchard, Parker, Lloyd, Case, Bodine, Donges, Heher, Perskie, Heteield, Dear, Wells, WolesKeil, Raeeerty, Cole, JJ. 15.

For reversal — None.
