154 Pa. 340; 25 A. 1063; 1893 Pa. LEXIS 889

Pepper's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

We think the learned auditing judge and the court below were correct in their conclusion that the note of $8,000, which the testator held against the appellant, was intended by the *342former as a part of the legacy of $50,000. In other words, he meant to give the appellant its note for $8,000 and $42,000 in cash, which together make up the legacy of $50,000. Giving to the word “ inclusive ” its accepted meaning, the note was to be included in the legacy, and form a part of it.

The decree is affirmed and the appeal dismissed at the costs of the appellant.
