Judge Humphreys has rendered de-
cision in favor of defendant in the suit
of John II Estate Limited VS.. A. II. b.
Judd. Defendant became such on sug.
gestion Of the death Of A. F. Judd, her
husband. The suit was for a piece OF
land on the Waikiki side of the road
leading to Waikiki. 1t turned on the
wording Of the will Of the late John II.
As guardian Of the testator's daughter,
Irene II, the late Mr.. Judd included the
disputed land in the inventory OF her
estate. After she had come of age and
married c. A. Brown, Mr.. Judd in cor
respondence claimed the land as his
own. Judge Humphreys finds from the
wording Of the will that the property
belonged to Mr.. Judd, and that his
designation Of 1t as part OF Miss lis
property while he was her guardian
did not estop him from claiming II
later. 1t was his duty to protect the
interests of his ward where there was
doubt. II Mr.. Judd ever believed that
the property was his wards, the
Courts Interpretation Of the will was
that he was mistaken. j. A. Magoon
