 In the case of Thomas B. Hewitt and others against the Wheeler school and library ct al, no error was found. the opinion being by Chief Justice Baldwin.
 MT. Hewitt and others are executors of the will of Henry Dwight Wheeler, who was born in North Stonington and later went to New York and became wealthy He built the Wheeler High school in North Stonington and endow- ed it with S100,000 and when he made his will in 1901 he left the school the sum of $100,00O and the residue of his estate. He died Sept. 13. 1906.
 His niece, Louise Newton Bixby, of Brooklyn, objected to the will on the novel grounds that the school could not take over so large an amount of money when its charter said it can only hold @ fund of S100, 0,000. In his will MT. Wheeler said if the school could not take the money under its charter he ordered that the legislature be asked to amend the charter and this was done in accordance with his will.
