Woodman v. Madigan

Opinion of the Court

Doe, C. J.

No time being expressly fixed by the will when Joseph is to receive the residue, it vested in him at the testator’s death. The will gave him an estate in possession, defeasible by his death, daring minority, without issue living at his decease. As the residue vested, in him at the testator’s death, the income derived from it, before defeasance, is his.

Case discharged.
