Retain Trust eeship.


Supreme Court Justice Leventritt decided
yesterday that Philip Sands cannot Dust
Frederic de Peyster Foster and Robert
Shaw Minturn as trustees OF the estate OF
Mrs. Mabel Sands Sinclair
Mrs. Sinclair was daughter OF Mahlon
Sands. When she married Clarence Gran
vile Sinclair OF Thurso Castle, Scotland,
in 1890 she made an ante-nuptial agreement
by which Philip Justice Sands, father OF
the present plaintiff. was made trustee OF
her entire estate with directions to pay her
the income for life and at her death to pay
her husband an income Of about $1,000 until
he died. Mrs. Sands died year later.

MacDonald Sinclair. Sinclair died in 1895
and Sands then nominated Foster to sue
coed him az trustee upon his death, with
the understanding that when Philip SANDS.
the son, became OF age, he should take
Fosters place.
The elder Sands died in 1900. and Foster
qualified as trustee. though young Sands
Foster appointed Robert Shaw Minturn
associate trustee. Philip Sands demanded
that they turn over the estate to him. but
they refused and he sued
Justice Leventrtt holds that the moral
question involved in Fosters refusal to
resign Notwithstanding the supposed
wishes Of Philip Justice Sands. is not a
matter for court Of law. In any case
Young Sands became of age before his
fathers death and his father took no steps
to have the son made trustee.
