25 Misc. 72 | N.Y. Sur. Ct. | 1898
This is an appeal by the residuary legatees. The ground of the appeal is that the appraiser erroneously determined the legatees under the will. The portion of the will pertinent to the present inquiry is as follows: “I also give her (Kate M. Jenkins) one share out of the four owned by me, of the Passaic Water Enterprise, so called, which four shares are held in trust for me by John E. Bartlett. I give to my cousin another of said shares, and to my aunt, S. C. C., another of said shares, and to my cousin, S. B. C., the other share in said enterprise, and I authorize and direct said Bartlett to transfer to-said persons said shares or the proceeds thereof, when realized, in the same manner as the said shares
Decreed accordingly.
