Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Judicial Settlement of Accounts of Anna Seebeck, Ex'rx, Resp't, v. Anna Tienken, App'lt.
Appeal from decree of surrogate of Kings county adjudging that appellant had no interest in the estate of John H. Seebeck, deceased.
Theo. E. Melmn, for app’lt; John E. Bullwirikel, for resp’t,
ex’rx; W. B. Veeder, for Mrs. Henrietta Ficken and Mrs. Anna M. Jahn, resp’ts;
Geo. F. Martens, for John H. Tienken, resp’t.

Opinion:
Pratt, J.
The question here sought to be raised as to the construction of the nineteenth clause of will of John H. Seebeck, deceased, as modified by the third clause of the codicil thereto, has been decided by this general term and must be regarded conclusive until overruled or modified by the court of appeals.
As to the second question, whether the share 'of the income due Henry M. Tienken at the time of his death shall be charged with its proportionate share of the taxes on the realty, we think the decision of the surrogate is right. See 115 N. Y., 450; 26 St. Rep., 382, and cases there cited.
Decree affirmed.
