6 A.2d 406 | N.J. | 1939
We concur in the views as expressed by the learned vice-chancellor, excepting that part thereof which holds that the so-called second group of legatees are entitled to interest upon the several amounts due them from and after one year after the death of the testator. Interest upon a legacy commences to run when payment of the legacy is demandable. Ashton v. Wilkinson,
The decree under review will be modified to the extent that no interest will be allowed on the amounts due to the legatees named in the second group.
For reversal — PARKER, BODINE, DONGES, JJ. 3.
For Modification — THE CHIEF-JUSTICE, CASE, HEHER, PERSKIE, PORTER, HETFIELD, DEAR, WELLS, WOLFSKEIL, RAFFERTY, JJ. 10.
