Opinion of the Court

Sinkler, J.,

— The exceptions relate to the conclusion of the auditing judge that the phraseology of the codicil is precatory in character and lacks testamentary effect. No one of us entertains any doubt upon the correctness of his decision, and we all con*289sider that he has sufficiently expounded the grounds whereupon his determination rests.

The exceptions are dismissed and the adjudication is confirmed absolutely.
