fore Justice Chitty for decision in Lon
don the other day. A young man pos
sessing large private means married a
widow with several children, and died
after several years of welded life with
out offspring of his own. In his will he
directed that his property should be di-
vided in equal shares between "our" chill
dren. In the first place the word "our'
was written "my," but the latter word
had been erased and "our" substituted
for it. The wife, Of course, claimed
that this expression was intended to sig
Nifty, and clearly did signify, her chill
drsn, but the nephews and nieces Of the
testator, as next of kin, disputed this
Interpretation of the will, holding that
no husband would apply the word "our'
to children of another man. Justice
Chitty took this view Of the case and
decided against the widow, prefcrring
to be governed by legal and grammatical
construction rather than by sentiment.
