Donovan's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Linn,

This appeal, like that in Carwithen’s Estate, 327 Pa. 490, is from a declaratory judgment that testamentary trustees have the right to invest in shares of stock. The opinions filed below are reported in 28 D. & C. Rep. 93. For the reasons stated in the opinion filed in Carwithen’s Estate, the judgment is reversed and the petition dismissed, costs to be paid out of the principal of the estate.
