By the Gowrt.

George L. Prentiss, the appellant and only child of George M. Prentiss, was born November 11th) 1864. George M. Prentiss, the hppellant’s father, died testate November 21st, 1864. Ilis will, which bears date in March, 1861, and purports to have been' executed in Massachusetts, after making specific bequests, devises and legacies, to seven different persons, and none to the appellant, contains the following residuary clause: “All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate of which I shall die seized and possessed, or to which I may be entitled at my decease, I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Emily A. L. Prentiss, subject to the payment of my debts and charges; and her rights under this residuary provision shall not be affected or changed by the birth of any child of mine, if any shall be born to me before or after my decease.”

The appellant asks for an assignment of certain lands situate in this State, and specifically devised to the respondents. His rights are to be determined by the law of the place "where the lands are situated. 1 Redfield on Wills, 397-8. Story Conflict of Laws, Sec. 424.

*20Section 22, Chapter 47, Gen. Stat., provides that “ When any child is born after the making of bis parent’s will, and no provision is made therein for him, such child shall have the same share in the estate of the testator as it he had died intestate, and the share of such child shall be assigned to him as provided by law in cases of intestate estates, unless it is apparent from the will that it was the intention of the testator that no provision should be made for such child. ” The sole question tiren which is presented for our determination is this: Is it apparent from the will that it was the intention of George M. Prentiss, the father, that no provi-, sion should be made for George 1. Prentiss, the son ? The probability that a child may be born to the testator is expressly referred to and recognized in the residuary clause. It cannot then be said that the testator failed or neglected to make provision for the appellant through forgetfulness or inadvertence. Yet the will disposes of all his estate, and no part of it is bequeathed to the appellant. The fact that 'he disposed of his whole estate to other persons so that he had nothing remaining with which to make provision for his child, taken in connection with the further fact that he so did in contemplation of the probability that issue might be born to him, leads, if not inevitably, at least with reasonable certainty, to the conclusion that he intended to make no provision for the appellant.
