AINSWORTH V. BATES
Mr. L. Owen, instructed by Mr. H. White, ap- peared for the plaintiffs, Joseph Ainsworth and James Henry Ainsworth; Mr. A. H. Simpson, in- structed by Messrs. Iceton and Faithfull, as agents for Mr M'Phillamy, of Bathurst for the defen- dant William Bates; and Dr. Cullen instructed by Messrs. Dibbs and Gibson, for Ernest Victor Bates.
This was an application to determine whether the executors of the will of the late Joseph Ainsworth should pay the whole of the £800 left under the will to Ernest Victor Bates or whether they would be justified in paying half of the said sum to William Bates as administrator. Joseph Ainsworth, of Raglan, by his will, dated November 30, 1883, devised to his executors, in trust for his daughter, Martha Jane Ainsworth £800, to be placed at interest which she was to receive during her life, her children, if she had any, to receive the £800 at her death. If she died without issue the money was to be divided amongst any of his children living. He died on 19th November 1885, and his daughter having married William Bates the defendant died on 26th March 1892, leaving two children Ernest Victor Bates and William Cecil Bates, the latter of whom died on 11th October, 1892. Defendant William Bates on 12th October last obtained letters of administration of the estate and effects of William Cecil Bates and now claimed to be paid by plaintiffs an half of the £800.
His Honor determined that Ernest Victor Bates was entitled to the whole of the £800.
