 The case of Mrs. Lunn and Wm. K. Brown of Holyoke against A. D. and Rapannah Cady of this town in- troduces a question at law which is of interest to all who make O study of these matters. A. D. Brown died, and by his will left life interest in his estate to his wife, Florence Brown, with the request that she leave the estate to the two plaintiffs in the suit, children of Otho Brown. Florence Brown died without making a will, and the question at law is whether the request made by A. D. Brown in his will constitutes a trust, or wheth- or the estate reverts intact to Flor. ence Browns heirs. There is differ ence of opinion among attorneys on the matter, and it will remain an open question until it is taken to the supreme court for a decision. The property involved includes the Staf- ford House and the block occupied by the Pero store in this town, and some parcels of real estate in Holyoke. There is some incumbTance on the property, but the equity is sufficient plum to insure litigation in all prob ability.
