EQUITY COURTS.-JUNE 27.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)

This cue was en appeal horn a decision of the Master of
the Rolla. The question in the cue atom on the construc-
tion of the will of Francis linden, dated 12th March, 1824,
which contained these words I bequeath to my dear
daughter en annuity of 1001., payable to her while she re-
mained single and unmarried ; but, en her marriage, end on
some adequate provision made by settlement for her for life,
and to the use of hor inue, which provision I direct may be
made_, I bequeath to and for her use the sum of 2,5001. ; and
in default of such issue, I bequeath that sum for the benefit
of my grandchildren then living, the children of my oldest
son Francis, equally, with benefit of survivorship, swept issue
IMt, who stall ll= share the parents* part." The testator
died in 1826, and the defendant, Frederick Finches, his second
son, proved the will. Mary linden, the daughter referred
to in the will, was married in 1829 to Francis Demainbrey,
and bad one child, which died in its infancy. No settlement
Ina made on the marriage, but the eum of 2,6001. had been
met apert by the defendant, and the interest paid to
Mary I>emainbrey as lung so she lived. She survived her
husband, and died in 18.56, when the plaintiffa, en the surviv-
ing children of Iran( ia linden, claimed the fund by virtue
of the gift over contained in the will. The defendant, how-
ever, Insisted that birth of the child prevented the gift
over hone taking effect, and claimed the fund as legal personal
representative of his sister. The Muter of the Rolls held
that the gift over did not take effect, and that the defendant,
as
nonrepresentative of hie sister, must take the whole fund.
ce the present appeal.
Mr. Lee and Mr.-W. Monis appeared for the appellant;
Mr. R. Palmer and Mr. 9i'hitbrud, supported the decree.
Th. Lord Chancellor without calling on the counsel foe the
respondent, stated his opinion to be entirely In secesdanoe
erltl that of the Master of Rolls. The decree of the court
below would, therefore be affirmed, and the appeal diemissed
with costs.
