    Appeal from an order of the. Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department, entered April 25, 1916, which affirmed a decree of the Westchester County Surrogate’s Court judicially settling an intermediate account of the executor of John A. Gwynne, deceased. Decedent by his will directed payment of the income arising from one-fifth of his residuary estate to his son John A. Gwynne, Jr., during his life.

      Martin L. Stover for appellant.
    
      William Porter Allen and J. Allen Townsend for respondent.
   Order affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
