Fitzgerald Loses in His Equity
Suit Against Rhode Island
Hospital Trust Co.

The opinion OF the appellate division
OF the supreme court was handed down by
Judge Tillinghast in the case of Osmond
T.. Fitzgerald vs.. the Rhode Island Hospi-
tai Trust company. trustee, et al This
was a bill I'm equity for an accounting.
IL is recited I'm the bill that under the
Will OF Harold Brown. late of this city,
the sum OF $1,000 was bequeathed 10 the
respondent in trust TO invest. keep IN
and collect the income arising thereifOm,
and after paying from such income eN-
penses pay the residue OF the income 20
the complainant. who was a cousin or
Harold Brown, the testatof. In" re-
spondent paid the United states govern,
ment war tax on legacics ana distributed
shares OF personal property amounting 10
1856 Ss
Mr.. Fitzgerald claimed that he was not
liable to pay this tax, but thar II shonia
have been paid by the one who was 10
get the fund after his life estate IN the
same was determined Therefore. he ask
ed the court 20 order the trust company
TO account To him for the sum so paid.
The respondent said the tax was right
fully payable from Mr.. Fitzgeralds share
and that IL has paid over 10 him the
earnings of the estate while on It's hahds
some S63l IA: therefore, there is nothing TO
take an account of at this time.
The opinion written by Judge Illling-
hast very carefully reviews the action and
holding OF the government i'm regard TO
this tax in legacies and the opinions OF
courts in those states which have be-
fore placed a tax on inheritances and dis
tributive shares of personal property. In
the course OF the opinion Judge Tilling-
hast saws:
I'VE think IL Is clear. I'm view OF this
act. taken as IL properly may be. i'm con-
nection with analogous state statutes, ana
the decisions hereunder. that no other
consistent construction can be put upon
it than that which has been put upon IL
by the treasury department namely, that
under a bequest like the one before us
two estates are created. that is, two In
terests, which pass under the statute,
namely. L. the life interest which passes

tee Is TO see TO IL. in so far as IL Is able
at any rate. that the fund shall remain
