81TTLEMENT.—PROVISION POR YOUNGER CHILDHEN.—
ACCRUIML—Tbie appeal from a decree of Vice-Chanoellor
Knight Bruce was opened on Monday, and was further
heard on Tuesday. The question was, whether a sum of
3,0001. or 7,0001. was to be raised out of certain estates com-
prised in a poet-nuptial settlement, dated in 1794, and made
between Charles Evans, of Ifiglrve, county ot Gloucester,
and Mary Caroline, his wife, with other penes' as trustees,
By a clause in that deed, trustees of a term of 800 years,
thereby created, were, after the death of the survivor of the
said C. Evans and wife, to raise by sale, mortgage, or devise
of said estates, 1,0001. for the portion of every daughter and
daughters, younger son or sons of the said C. Evans and
wife, to be paid to the sone on attaining 21, and to the
daughters at that age, or marriage, Verdi ages or marriage,
should happen after the death of C. Evans and wife ; and in
case of the death of any son or daughter before the said
events (of their age of 21, or marriage in the case of a
daughter), the portion of such person so dying should sur-
vive and accrue to the survivors, to be divided equally
among them. and to be parable with their original nortionn
There were. besidea the eldest son, eight children of
the said C. Evans and wife, one of whom died
before the date of the deed, and four move after-
wards, daring the life of their parents, under the ages;
of 21 and unmarried. C. Evans himself died in 1819, and
his wife died in 1837. The eldest son died in 1841, leaving
a eon who is one of the respondents. The three surviving
children of C. Evans and ha said wife, together with the
trustees of the said term, proceeded in 1842 to raise (by
mortgage if the term to the respondent Stott) their own
portions of 1,0001. and also 4,0001. more, the portions of the
four children who died subsequent to the date of the deed.
The eon and heir at law of the eldest son (who died in 1841)
filed his bill for the purpose of preventing the raising of more
than 3,0001., insisting that the clause before stated dace:fuer
of the portions of the four deceased children never took
effect. The Vice-chancellor was of that opinion, and decreed
accordingly. Mr. Turner and Mr. Wigram, with whom
waa Mr. Gifford, supported the appeal, contending that the
clause of Kerner had come into operation. Mr. .1. Russell
for the respondents supported the decree.
The further hearing was at four o'clock postponed 'to
Thursday.
