holds that the legacy in question does
not lapse. This being the case the
legacy in question would ordinarily
go to the descendants of Sarah Caro-

ing in evidence whether the husband
Of this legatee is living or dead or di-

the children Of the legatee not being
sufficiently clear to this court, the
court will hear further evidence and
argument on this point.
